In one of the seen protests over yesterday’s OP_RETURN information, a vp at OCEAN mining pool has promised to promote all his bitcoin (BTC) and cease working within the trade solely.
By October, Jason Hughes will cease working alongside Luke Dashjr and BitcoinMechanic, leaders of an opposition motion to a serious change to Bitcoin Core.
Yesterday, 31 senior builders signed a letter and scheduled a serious change which means Bitcoin Core’s default mempool will relay transactions up to 4MB — an lodging that can profit DAOs, oracles, yield-bearing stablecoins, and altcoin exchanges publishing information onto Bitcoin’s ledger.
The change might propagate to tens of 1000’s of full nodes on the subsequent Bitcoin Core software program replace.
When node operators replace to Bitcoin Core model 30 in 4 months, they’ll not filter out OP_RETURN outputs exceeding 80 bytes whereas relaying pending transactions to different nodes.

VP of Engineering at mining pool to promote all his bitcoin
Hughes is profoundly disenchanted in these 31 Bitcoin Core builders. “52 days ago, Bitcoin Core development at least pretended to have principles,” he wrote in a type of resignation letter.
He added, “Personally, I’m out of energy on this fight.”
Though Hughes hasn’t introduced what his subsequent profession transfer will probably be, he claims to have job gives from a number of non-crypto corporations.
“What made Bitcoin different no longer exists,” Hughes warned. “Honestly, I admittedly didn’t expect this news today, and expected sanity to prevail.”
