Slovak Bitcoin developer Martin Habovštiak embedded a 66KB TIFF image directly into the Bitcoin blockchain as a transaction, challenging the technical assumptions of the BIP-110 “Anti-Spam” proposal. The image depicts Luke Dashjr, the initiator of the BIP-110 proposal, created without using OP_RETURN, Taproot, or OP_IF—which are precisely the features BIP-110 aims to restrict—thus revealing the limitations of the proposal. Habovštiak also created a larger version compliant with BIP-110 standards, which he believes would increase on-chain data volume. This highlights ongoing debates between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots developers regarding data storage limits.
