The Purr-fect Proposal: Cats, Chaos, and Crypto!

Key Highlights 🤯

  • Dr. Evil’s Bitcoin Stamps and Ordinals have flooded Bitcoin’s UTXO set faster than my robot broke out of prison 🔥.
  • “The Cat” draws the line, turning small non-monetary UTXOs into housecats that can’t be kicked around. Spooky! 🐱
  • Meanwhile, Lynx is watching, but it’s basically “pack your bags: you will be pruned in four years.” Time flies when you’re broke, I guess. ⏳🦒

Turmoil in the Bitcoin bunker! Those pesky transaction outputs are sparking drama worse than an intergalactic diplomatic crisis. 🎬 The debate kicks off with a draft proposal named “The Cat,” and the showdown is on.

“The Cat” is like the superhero of UTXOs, swooping in to save the day by shrinking the talkative transaction tootsies that chat away at every corner of Bitcoin’s database. We’re not amused by rising costs anymore, so here’s our hero! 🦸‍♂️

What’s a UTXO and How Does It Scratch the Surface?

Think of a UTXO as a pizza slice on a cold, crowded table. New sizes are showing up faster than people in “Spaceballs” eat because of Ordinals and Stamps! 🍕🛸

Ordinals & Bitcoin Stamps, Rewind and Roll!

Satoshis team up with bits of data like cuddly kittens with laser pointers. Ordinals bring laser lights to the scene, while Bitcoin Stamps, well… what could go wrong when you play with non-spends? 🎭🎥

UTXO Growth Rises like My Fat Finger on a Key

It’s no secret; the UTXO set blew up faster than… well, my lungs after eating hot wings! Chainstate ballooned, making miner fellas sigh a lot more than I did in “To Be or Not to Be!” 😂

What’s “The Cat” Hiding in the Bag?

Lucille Ball smoothly walks the line. This kitty means to turn NMUs into a Tamagotchi: pretty useless, but harmless enough. 🐱 The mission: a clean-cut UTXO set, lemon-squeezy!

How to Find the NMUs Without Lifting Too Much Purr!

Guess what? Existing tools, just like my robot located weapons in my hideout, will pinpoint those NMUs, no sweat! Once tagged, they’re out! 👀⚡

Debate: Where’s “The Cat’s” Censorship Injury?

Some see this as a slippery slope into PreCrime boots. But, remember, even in an instant, incentives rule! OP_RETURN paved our golden UTXO path, folks! 💰

What’s the Alternative? Lynx? Like Snagged in Lynx’s Paws?

Lynx wants to kick the dust UTXOs after years of inaction, marked not by their content, but by neglect. It’s “I can’t spend you, whiskers!” preschool style. 🐾

What Comes After Another Sandwich Break?

“The Cat” snoozes in drafty dreams, waiting for the BIP boogie. Votes are split, forks are possible, and miners clink glasses but not yet settling on a solitary sip. 🥂 Until then, what can we do but troll? 🤠
