The Bitcoin-dev mailing list is currently embroiled in a heated debate over proposals to manage the surge in UTXO sets caused by Ordinals and Stamps. One proposal, "The Cat," suggests a soft fork to render certain non-monetary UTXOs under 1,000 satoshis permanently unspendable, potentially reducing UTXO size by 30-50%. Another proposal, "Lynx," advocates for the automatic invalidation of dust UTXOs inactive for four years, aligning with halving cycles for a more neutral cleanup approach. The discussions have reached an impasse, with legendary developer Greg Maxwell criticizing the proposals as property confiscation and theft, threatening Bitcoin's foundational trust. Maxwell has proposed a new rule to ban discussions of any Bitcoin confiscation proposals on the mailing list, with violators facing a one-year ban, citing the damage such "futile discussions" cause to the project's reputation.
