Oh no? So why its says "@petertodd petertodd Change publish-text.py txouts to be a bare OP_RETURN" ?
Because it is not possible to create a transaction without outputs.
Publishing data is not a classic transaction which transfers some value from person A to person B.
Also the point is to have the scripts to parse the blockchain for data and to upload.
I can create such 'downloader' for @petertodd's 'uploader'
Unfortunately, I prefer programming in C++, not in python.
