"@GrassFedBitcoin @OrangeSurfBTC afaik this is the first time I've had a straight answer and Luke hid my tweet rather than respond to a slightly different question. I ask because it seems wildly reckless to promote DATUM without any safeguards while consensus rules allow "completely insane" transactions"

"so maybe that's the point is this a clever way to cancel a BRC-20 transfer in the mempool mid-execution .probably not. someone wanting to do that could simply not spend the inscription output in the first place. and relying on a non-standard RBF would be very unreliable"

"@utxoclub @LukeDashjr @privacymatter21 I think Luke might argue that unless the revelation was in a block the data isn't really "on bitcoin" and the indistinguishable transaction alone isn't spam. and that you could detect and filter such a revelation tx itself to maintain that state of affairs"

"all very reasonable objections the blocksize limit is the pricing mechanism we have to allocate space in the historical blockchain data that every full node has to download and validate. the utxoset is a more costly resource (needs fast random access) and the size sets a lower bound on the storage requirements for a pruned node. but we don't have a coherent pricing mechanism to allocate space in the utxoset and as a result it has massively expanded in recent years (in the same way that any community-subsidized resource gets abused by freeloaders). if you can think of a more acceptable"
