Github rejected! While cryptocurrency traders, commercial investors, financial institutions, and probably a lot of regular people and beginners, were engaged in exciting speculation about whether US regulators would approve a Bitcoin ETF, there was a struggle over Bitcoin’s blockchain ethos. It takes place on the open source developer platform GitHub. The crux of the matter was whether data-oriented applications such as ordinal inscriptions – often referred to as “NFTs on Bitcoin“—should be allowed on a network that purists say should be maintained primarily as a settlement layer for peer-to-peer payments. In September, longtime Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr, who sits in the latter camp, created a network an offer – technically known as a “pull request” or PR – to place strict limits on the amount of data that can be stuffed into a single transaction. The proposal was quickly taken up Fierce discussion That continued for several months, until several days ago when Ava chow, the Bitcoin Core maintainer, suddenly shut down PR without taking any action. “It is quite clear that this PR is controversial and, in its current state, has no hope of arriving at an outcome acceptable to all,” Zhao wrote in his last post on the thread. It’s possible there will be additional chapters, though Dashjr later tweeted: “Spam filtering doesn’t stop until the spam is deleted.”
