Luke-jr has always seen Ordinals as a threat to #Bitcoin. He intends to offer a solution that will prevent the creation of new ordinals.
Of course it’s Luke and his “gut feeling” transaction validation algorithm. He has a history of trying to push filters for the transactions he personally dislikes or considers not being real in some sense. Be it satoshidice, OpenTimestamps, ordinals…
But let’s take his claim at face value. Does the attacker gains cheaper blockspace by abusing this vulnerability, compared to regular txs of the same size? And if so, why are the miners including them in the block template?
Good. Fuck ordinals. He’s right, they’re a denial of service attack that causes congestion on the network.
Fine by me. Build a 2nd layer app for that junk.
