Samson Mow accuses developer Peter Todd of receiving compensation for writing controversial proposal OP-RETURN

According to Protos, Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin wallet company Jan3, stated that someone paid veteran Bitcoin developer Peter Todd to write controversial code change proposal PR 32359, aimed at eliminating the data carrier limitation of OP-RETURN in the default memory pool of Bitcoin core. Mow stated that this is a corporate initiative, not a natural idea of the community. During the discussion, Antoine Poinsot and Todd from Chaincode Labs provided cultural and technical reasons for removing restrictions, stating that the restrictions were "ineffective" in preventing data storage on non-financial chains. But Todd acknowledges that the proposal is mainly for the company. Mow suspects that Chaincode has paid Todd in the form of "PR money laundering", but Poinsot denies and retaliates against Mow as a way to attract attention. In addition, Blockstream engineer Greg Sanders stated that Core plans to implement PR 32359 in the next update, but the intentions of the core maintainers are constantly changing, and it is unclear whether the new version will include this modification. The relevant voting and participation on GitHub have been locked, and dozens of developers have different opinions. The number of full nodes opposing the PR has reached a new high. The Fix The Filters topic is popular on social media, with many critics accusing Core of catering to businesses and ignoring the development of Bitcoin.
