Because they include extra data with hexadecimal representing jpegs, saving a lot of bom-transaction related data in the blockchain, therefore in the nodes.
Nodes have the configuration to limit this extra data, the standard configuration it 80bytes, but there is bug that this kind of transactions are exploiting, that allows them to go way way over any configuration in the node.
That bug was fixed in the Knots node software, and the standard template os configured with very low extra data limit, which is keeping transactions exploiting the bug out of the block.
If those transactions sent inscriptions within the limit configured in the knots nodes, they would pass normally.
They just need to mine their own blocks then, nothing wrong with that.
Whoever mined the block has the right to put the transactions he wants inside it. If money was the only incentive the transactions would be in. Glad money is not the only thing driving people’s decisions.
Yep, you just need to keep extra data out of your transactions to make it pass the node relays and get into a standard template in OCEAN. The transaction part of it would work fine. If you want to insert extra data with your transaction, just wait another block.
The plan is to give miners the control over the templates they want to use, the specific ASIC that find the block will choose the template and him alone, but this is only possible with Stratum V2.
While Stratum V2 is not there, they are offering you to choose from pre-stablished block templates.
1 you use knots node
2 you use bitcoin core modified to enforce that inscriptions respect the extra data limit configured in the node. (Currently there is a bug where idiots creating inscriptions can put 3 MB data in the extra data even if you specifically configured your node to relay only 80bytes)
The problem is the lack of moral compass.
You are saying that an idiot with an infinite amount of money can destroy the Bitcoin network or at least make it useless just because he can pay for it. Congratulations.
