PSA: There are NOT "two versions" of #Bitcoin . This is a scam whereby people are misled into thinking that BCH ("Bitcoin Cash") is in some sense Bitcoin - it is not at all. There was no "split" of Bitcoin in 2017 at all. BCH was a completely new altcoin that launched in 2017 Aug.

The OP_RETURN discussion is not new and dates back to 2014 when Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 was released with the OP_RETURN policy included which was intended to discourage more egregious forms of spam. At that time, 40 bytes was the default max datacarriersize limit across all node

@BitPay , if you want to add a 7.6% surcharge to people who pay with #Bitcoin , and make BCH payments surcharge-free, that's your right, but please don't lie about it being a "network cost". The network cost/fee is paid 100% upfront by the user BEFORE you even see the transaction.
