Samson Mow criticizes Bitcoin Core developers on spam concerns

Samson Mow criticizes Bitcoin Core developers on spam concerns @Excellion: Mow criticizes Bitcoin Core devs

Samson Mow, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community, raises concerns about the ongoing changes implemented by Bitcoin Core developers, which he claims are facilitating spam transactions on the network.

Mow alleges that recent adjustments to the Bitcoin protocol are not only making spam more feasible but are also lowering the barriers for spammers to exploit the system. He likens this situation to an 'NYA', referring to the New York Agreement, a controversial scaling plan from 2017, suggesting that developers should not dismiss the implications of these changes with a mere 'it is what it is' attitude.

The tweet highlights a potential division in the community regarding strategic developments that might undermine the network's original intent as a secure and efficient financial system.

Mow’s apprehensions about recent protocol shifts mirror his long-standing scrutiny of Bitcoin’s technical trajectory, notably his focus on issues around OP_RETURN proposals and their potential to introduce non-monetary data risks. His persistent critique of shifting Bitcoin spending trends underscores a broader call for vigilance in preserving the network’s foundational principles amid evolving community debates.
