Something not really talked about in regards to the op return debate, is what we call in the security "the tyranny of the default". Default settings should ideally be in the most restrictive state and if you want remove restrictions by changing settings and potentially reducing security that is a trade off and decision you can make within your own risk appetite. The reason you don't make the default open is because 99% of users will just use the default settings and won't even consider changing them. that said, does it not make sense for core to have the most restrictive reference implementation and allow people to configure more permissive op return and other settings as their use case requires? And additionally have to persuade others of their case. #opreturn #btc #core #knotts
