Cosine: Personally I don’t feel the need to fix the vulnerability raised by Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr

SlowMist founder, Yu Xian, posted on social media that Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr is a bit stimulated. If everything goes as he wishes, the next version of Bitcoin will fix what he considers a vulnerability: the sequence/inscription is a vulnerability of Bitcoin and is a type of spam attack. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to fix this. The impact of accidentally opening this Pandora's box due to the introduction of Taproot (a good thing) is not just a pile of spam, but also the vitality of the Bitcoin ecosystem. This ecosystem is not just about the sequence/inscription. Of course, if this is fixed, there can be a better compatibility solution to open up the Bitcoin ecosystem, and it is better to have short-term pain than long-term pain.

Golden Finance previously reported that Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr posted on social media that Inscription is using a vulnerability in the Bitcoin core client Bitcoin Core to send junk information to the blockchain. This vulnerability was fixed in Bitcoin Knots v25.1 recently. Due to the serious disruption of my workflow at the end of last year (v24 was completely skipped), the repair time was longer than usual. In the upcoming v26 version, Bitcoin Core still has vulnerabilities. I can only hope that it will be finally fixed before v27 next year.
