TechFlow news, on June 11, according to Protos, Jason Hughes, Vice President of mining pool OCEAN, announced he will sell all his Bitcoin and exit the industry in protest against the recent OP_RETURN change decision.
Hughes expressed extreme disappointment with Bitcoin Core developers' decision, stating "52 days ago, Bitcoin Core development at least pretended to have principles," and said he has "been exhausted by this fight." Hughes warned: "The qualities that made Bitcoin different are now gone."
Previous report, Bitcoin Core developers plan to implement the OP_RETURN change in October, a version that will no longer filter OP_RETURN outputs containing large amounts of non-financial data. This change will increase the default data carrier limit from the current 80 bytes to nearly 4MB.
