An upcoming Bitcoin software update will increase the data limit on a division function that will allow much more images, text and documents on Bitcoin blockchain, said a developer.
The Bitcoin Core 30 update scheduled for October 30 will remove the limit from 80 bytes to the controversial OP_RETurn function and will allow each output to transport up to 4 data mega -data, the developer Bitcoin Core Gloria Zhao published on Monday in Github.
It arrives three days after the developers of 31 Bitcoin Core signed an investigation supporting the change, known as FUST Pull Request (MPR) # 32406. Bitcoin developers indicated on May 5 that the data limit would be deleted.
OP_Return allowed the enthusiasm of computers last year, allowing Bitcoin users to publish everything on the blockchain of non -tumbled token collections with Afghan war newspapers published by Wikileaks in 2010.
The planned change has made the conservative sect of the Bitcoin community, which argue that non -financial data obstruct the blockchain with spam and believe that the network should focus on Bitcoin (BTC) transactions.
The investment company of Crypto Reforge, the co-founder, Alexander Lin, said on X that the expansion of the data limit is a “terrible error” and affirmed to increase the limit of the function “increases the systemic risk for the main ownership of the BTC as a solid argent”.
Other Bitcoins, including the main author of the proposal, Peter Todd, believe that the increase in the data limit will extend cases of use of bitcoin beyond finance.
Bitcoin developers say that users decide
In GitHub instruction, Zhao said that Bitcoin core developers favored a more practical approach, allowing users to use the chain as they choose:
“Demanding it that the Bitcoin kernel prevents certain extraction transactions reflects a misunderstanding of the relationship between open source software users and developers.”
Faith in Bitcoin Core “Broken”
Several bitcoinders have expressed their frustration on the expansion of the data limit, including the CEO of Satoshi Action Fund, Dennis Porter.
“I helped collect more than $ 200,000 for basic developers during my stay in Bitcoin. My faith in their work is now broken,” said that he will no longer support the development of Bitcoin Core.
Jason Hughes, vice-president of the Bitcoin Ocean extraction firm, suggested that he could move away from the Bitcoin industry.

“Personally, I have no more energy on this fight,” he said in a long post X.
Bitcoin Core losing market share
Since Todd introduced MPR # 32406 on April 28, the domination of Bitcoin Core in the market share of Bitcoin nodes rose from around 98% to just over 88%, a pseudonym bitcoiner noted on X.
The Bitcoin nodes client posted almost all of them, if not all, on this market share, which is now 11.48%, according to Coin.Dance data.
Bitcoin commentator Matthew R. Kratter said that the decision to increase the data limit could express long -term problems for Bitcoin Core, adding that his domination could fall to the range of 20 to 30% in the coming to three years.
