Crazy idea to fight spam (hear me out/critiques welcome):
The main ways to broadcast arbitrary data are op_returns, witness data, and fake addresses in bare multisig right?
What if we hard fork with the following changes:
- remove op codes that allow arbitrary data
- deprecate multisig in favor of musig
- change the witness discount to a 10x witness premium
- implement cross signature aggregation to incentivize efficient witness usage
Does CISA destroy the ability to add arbitrary data? I dunno, just spitballing here.
