gmaxwell on Ocean's conflict of interest: “Spam is Ocean's biggest marketing point. Spam has, as of recent months, stopped being a high profile issue. This tempest in a teapot has suddenly caused spam to be a high profile issue again-- even though feerates are now resting close to minimum all day long--, creating an incredible amount of promotion for Ocean and its related projects. Ocean benefits directly financially from this drama, and indirectly through increased influence. Its employees have spent many days of time focused on this, attended events specifically to promote the position, and put out hours of video on it, which certainly makes it look very important to Ocean's bottom line. The point about COI is that one should avoid not just impropriety but the appearance there of. And having known the involved people for over a decade, having invited some of them to stay in my home, I am left with the impression that it seems improper. Moreover, their staff went right into making such accusations themselves even though they seem far less founded.” https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1knek3z/comment/mslb8zn/

This seems like a fair counterpoint to the nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc55qsvp COI argument... Which I believe is one of the major catalysts that got this debate onto the main stage.

Some Citrea transactions will pay a bit less in TX costs if they switch to OP,_Return. At the scale of money those transactions represent, the reduction in cost is insignificant through.
