Hi,
While fixing RSK's SPV bridge I came up with an idea to fix the
MERKLEBLOCK command to prevent rogue peers from attacking SPV peers using
Bitcoin's Merkle tree structure flaws. The most annoying attack is the one
that tries to confuse a victim peer into thinking a transaction is an inner

I recommend against using an op_return prefix, as they allow for
transaction censorship.
In fact, in our case, where we use an IPFS hash in an op_return, we rem
op_return outputs can be pruned because they are not spendable.
putting a hash on in the witness script data won't make things better
(it would actually make them worse) and it definitely doesn't help
"block size bloat".
I think I'm missing some context, but if you're using op_return purely

Miners have always chosen transaction on "political" basises, and doing s
