So about the OP_RETURN and filters debate, this is something I had been worried about with Bitcoin for a while: I knew there needed to be a feedback mechanism where information about the cost of the data used for noderunning was communicated to the network, where each individual node could communicate prices in a market. I realized eventually that it does have this, but it's rough: the consensus and the specific code of the machines. We might need to engineer an upgrade that will allow easier price setting that doesn't give anyone unilateral control, like a typical market but one that is distributed, anonymized, and failsafe.
