- [Why is witness data downloaded during IBD in prune mode?]({{bse}}117057)
140+
Pieter Wuille notes that for nodes running in [prune mode], "the witness data
141+
that is both (a) before the assumevalid point and (b) sufficiently buried to
142+
be past the prune point, there is indeed little to gain from having it". There
143+
is currently a [draft PR][Bitcoin Core #27050] open to address this and [a PR
144+
Review Club][pr review 27050] covering the proposed change.

- [Can Bitcoin's P2P network relay compressed data?]({{bse}}116999)
147+
Pieter Wuille links to two mailing list discussions about compression (one about
148+
[specialized compression for headers sync][] and one about [general LZO-based
149+
compression][]) and points out that Blockstream Satellite uses a custom
150+
transaction compression scheme.

- [How does one become a DNS seed for Bitcoin Core?]({{bse}}116931)
153+
User Paro explains the requirements for someone wanting to become a [DNS
154+
seed][news66 dns seed] to provide new nodes with initial peers.
155+
156+
- [Where can I learn about open research topics in Bitcoin?]({{bse}}116898)
157+
Michael Folkson provides a variety of resources including [Chaincode Labs
158+
Research][] and [Bitcoin Problems][], among others.
159+
160+
- [What is the maximum size transaction that will be relayed by bitcoin nodes using the default configuration?]({{bse}}117277)
161+
Pieter Wuille points out Bitcoin Core's 400,000 [weight unit][] standardness
162+
policy rule, notes that it is not currently configurable, and explains the
163+
intended benefits of that limit including DoS protections.
164+
165+
- [Understanding how ordinals work with in Bitcoin. What is exactly stored on the blockchain?]({{bse}}117018)
166+
Vojtěch Strnad clarifies that Ordinals Inscriptions do not use `OP_RETURN`,
167+
but instead embed data into an unexecuted script branch using the
168+
`OP_PUSHDATAx` opcodes similar to:
169+
170+
```
171+
OP_0
172+
OP_IF
173+
<data pushes>
174+
OP_ENDIF
