I have not looked at the source code, but from what I understand I think that a much more pleasant (politically and technically speaking) solution would be to:<br/><br/><b>by default disallow non-standard transactions that exceed 128 bytes (or whatever threshold is agreeable)?</b><br/><br/>I would like to hear why the above option was thrown out by the developers.<br/><br/>While I agree that bitcoin transactions themselves should be the primary use of the blockchain, a good currency need not ostracize itself either.</div> text/html
