SlovakBitcoin Developer Releases Proof-of-Concept Writing 66kB Image in Transaction, Challenging BIP-110 Data Limit Proposal

Odaily News SlovakBitcoin developer and RustBitcoin library maintainer Martin Habovštiak has released a proof-of-concept that writes a 66kB TIFF image file to the Bitcoin blockchain in a single transaction without using OP_RETURN, Taproot, or OP_IF. The transaction is publicly verifiable on-chain and can be decoded into a complete image file.

This experiment is seen as a direct challenge to the "anti-spam" soft fork proposal BIP-110, championed by Luke Dashjr. BIP-110, formerly known as BIP-444, aims to limit the scale of on-chain data inscription. Some supporters of the proposal believe such data storage behaviors deviate from Bitcoin's core positioning as "money." (The Block)
