A pull request for the Bitcoin Knots fork introduces Lua-based heuristics to score and reject spam in OP_RETURN transactions, countering techniques like Ordiknots that evade current filters.

Bitcoin Core contributor Peter Todd criticizes the proposal as enabling subjective censorship and potential centralization, similar to OFAC compliance issues. This development highlights the ongoing policy divide between Bitcoin Core's relaxed OP_RETURN limits and Knots' stricter spam controls, with Knots adoption at 15-20% of nodes.
