"The Knots/filter camp version of the story seems to be that "Core are unserious about stopping UTXO bloat because they didn't stop it back in 2023". But the facts don't seem to line up here. @LukeDashjr made a PR (#28408 on bitcoin core) to attempt to stop the UTXO bloat but from github this PR was from 5th Sept 2023. At that time the UTXO count was about 122M. UTXO count chart here is from blockchain dot info. As @the_charlatan_ points out by the time the next release of Core (v26 at that time) came out it would have been Dec 2023. By which time the UTXO count was already circa 150M. And now"

"You keep repeating "hostile to them" but these spam tx are still consensus valid. They (spam companies) probably understood that there's not a whole lot that can be done in this case. If they were paying attention to bitcoin ML they would have seen say Andrew Poelstra's email saying there wasn't a lot that could be done to stop it or ordinals people might see Rodarmor's commentary on how it's not easy to stop. And if they WERENT paying attention to typical bitcoin dev circles then they were likely just yolo'ing into it anyway. And VC bets are usually more 'out there' on the risk curve anyway."

"I don't think this is reflecting how things are: - XXX KB inscriptions are already standard and were already being relayed on most of the network (even pre v30). - OP RETURN does not receive the segwit discount so if the whole block was made up of them it'd actually be smaller (1MB limit instead of the 4MB theoretical limit). So the bloat argument isn't clear. - I don't believe it's accurate to frame this as "effing around with bitcoin" there are legitimate technical reasons to attempt to maintain network decentralisation e.g. compact blocks correcting a policy malincentive on creating"
