I'll believe him when he actually release both source code and working binary of his full node software. But based on his past statement (such as
https://x.com/LeonidasNFT/status/1964225563725291732), i don't believe he have good intention or understand impact of his idea. X post you shared also questionable.
A transaction can be fully valid under consensus and still be blocked from normal relay because it is “non-standard”. This has resulted in the creation of a private “black market” for Bitcoin transactions where insiders with connections to miners get do things that ordinary Bitcoin users cannot.
Calling it “black market” is exaggeration. You could contact mining pool normally or use MARA slipstream website directly.
2. The global dust limit will be lowered from 294-546 sats (depending on output type) to 1 sat. Ordinals inscriptions and Runes UTXOs are currently forced to carry hundreds of unnecessary sats to appease Bitcoin Core. This will remove the need for “padding” and effectively airdrop ~$25M in locked up sats back to the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem.
We experienced massive UTXO growth even with few hundred sats limit on each output. He also lying about Runes UTXO must send/burn few hundred satoshi, because by default you send 0 satoshi to OP_RETURN output.
