Is there a way for the bitcoin protocol to prevent the way XCP is using it, without breaking anything else?
That seems like a very big potential issue if we dont get this resolved...

The miners are supposed to filter out abuses.

Not sure i understand right but bitcoin core dev team dont want anyone make new layers over bitcoin blockchain?

The problem isn't new layers, it's forcing things on people against their will.
New layers can be done on an opt-in basis, without polluting the blockchain and forcing non-participants to store the data.

Thanks for engaging with us Luke-Jr. Will you be able to elaborate on how this opt-in basis would work and why reducing OP_RETURN from the proposed 80 bytes was better for bitcoin? It seems that the 40byte reduction might be the first step in a slippery slope to zero bytes in the future by the bitcoin core devs.

Will you help us understand the ways we can work together constructively?
