Clearly no one saw this current situation coming.
funny part is i was having lengthy debates with gmax and others in 2016 about the exploit-ability of "anyonecanspend" (unconditioned opcodes).. it is funny how things come full circle where core gods and their cult followers lie, deceive try to deny things to push their agenda using tactics that the person on other side of debate is lying and deceiving
because you, data in the blockchain proves whos right in the end.
Congratulations, one of your hundreds of Chicken Little "Sky is falling!" cries turned out not to be 100% wrong. Have a cookie. Purely by the law of averages, even a fruitloop like you has to get it right once in a while. Don't let it go to your head.
Actually the thing he quoted has nothing to do with this topic and the example chosen in that comment is actually wrong and the silliest one since P2WPKH (ie. OP_0 + 20 bytes) is literally the strictest SegWit scripts that exists and there is absolutely no way of exploiting it.
incorrect.. because there is no expectation of content in op_0
remember op_0 was not a strict segwit script.. because.. 2016... yep segwit wasnt even a thing!!
anyways
the very next bytes you can put in it is op_push4 which say the next bytes after that can be 4,294,967,295 bytes(4.29GB) which are only prevented by the block limit to ot actually be 4.29gb
so it can be abused in so many ways due to its openness at the time of writing it in 2016
seems doomat pooya and etfbitcoin have rejoined each other in the cultish narrative of circle jerkin and defending each other again to prevent bitcoin scaling by not even knowing about the code or exploits that are causing the congestion that is not helping bitcoin have lean transactions or increased transaction counts
but let them pat themselves on the back merit cycling each other while not wanting to learn how things really work
