"As a temporary measure, run Knots. I strongly recommend not upgrading to Core v30," Szabo wrote. A few other Bitcoin community members also disagreed with the recent Core release. Morning Crypto Report: Ripple CEO and $1 Trillion Stablecoin Boom, Bitcoin Struggles at $121,800, Shiba Inu Meme Coin Faces 2025 Bottom RiskCrypto Market Prediction: BNB is Euphoric Before $2,000, XRP Beaten Up With $6 Billion, Shiba Inu to Hit 2025's Bottom The bone of contention in the Bitcoin v 30.0 release is an increase in OP_RETURN beyond the limit of 80 bytes.As seen in the testing guide of the Bitcoin v30.0 release candidate, the upgrade increases"datacarriersize" to 100,000 by default, and to test this, one of the steps is for users to generate a new transaction with an OP_RETURN of greater than 83.While it is commonly believed that Bitcoin Core client version 0.9.0 introduced the OP_Return function to allow users to attach additional information to Bitcoin transactions, Back stated that"OP_RETURN" was a Satoshi feature, dating back to 15 years ago. While the Bitcoin Core v30 update includes TRUC transaction support, among others, the fact that it removes a limit on transaction data, increasing it to 100,000 bytes, as well as the OP_Return limit of 80 bytes, might not sit well with some members of the community.
