System Established for Disallowing Blocks with Ordinals on Bitcoin

Developers have introduced a script that enables Bitcoin miners to choose blocks that do not include digital artifacts produced by the Ordinals protocol. This script automatically discards blocks containing ordinals at the node level.

One of the creators of the NFT collection Taproot Wizards mentioned that he developed a specific script for miners that assists in selecting blocks for validation, omitting those with Bitcoin Ordinals digital artifacts integrated within them.

The developer noted that it took approximately 15 minutes to create the script. He also acknowledged that the script was not perfect and could be easily circumvented. Nevertheless, this does not hinder its primary purpose — enabling the node to reject blocks containing ordinals.

The script’s creator also conveyed his belief that few individuals would be inclined to utilize it, despite the extensive criticism directed at the Ordinals protocol. He described the initiative as a “Christmas gift” for those who are skeptical about digital artifacts. The creator encouraged detractors of Ordinals to execute the code and demonstrate their negative stance towards the protocol in practice.

James Check, an Analyst at Glassnode, remarked that the script was unlikely to become popular as it effectively rendered the node unusable. He stated that the developer’s initiative was merely intended to illustrate that critics of Ordinals represent a minority.

Users of the Ordinals protocol account for approximately 85% of the activity on the network of the leading cryptocurrency and enhance the profitability of Bitcoin mining.
