Bitcoin developer Peter Todd is developing a mechanism that suggests Bitcoin Core nodes automatically disconnect from nodes that conduct "cleaner" attacks using his Libre Relay software. Previously, Todd advocated for increasing the default OP_RETURN data limit in Bitcoin Core to nearly 4MB, which sparked controversy. Opponents have used "cleaner" software to disguise themselves as nodes to disrupt broadcasts and prevent large data transactions from spreading. The new rules are planned to be released in October with Core v30, and Todd is intensifying countermeasures to defend his on-chain data expansion plan. (Protos)
