As text, it would occupy no more than 2 KB. However, the project team uploaded it as a jpg file with a resolution large enough for reading.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s tiny, but they added an image and blew it up to that size \u2014 just to take the top spot and really make a statement,&#8221; the expert explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The file exceeded the previous record for Bitcoin &#8220;inscriptions&#8221; set in March by just 0.001 MB.<\/p>\n<p>Laughlin noted that the block capacity in the first cryptocurrency&#8217;s network was increased from 1 MB to 4 MB in 2017 due to the Segregated Witness hard fork. Attempting to &#8220;inscribe&#8221; anything larger is doomed to fail, he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Part of our job is to ensure we don&#8217;t do that. Essentially, we&#8217;ll create [Ordinal] locally, send it to our Bitcoin nodes, and see if it all goes through. But we won&#8217;t even start if the size exceeds 4 MB. There&#8217;s no point, because we know it will fail,&#8221; Laughlin emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To add such large inscriptions as the &#8220;Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace&#8221; or the previous record holder from Runestone (3.968 MB) to the Bitcoin blockchain, the OrdinalsBot team collaborated with mining company Marathon Digital.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;They test parameters and fine-tune because they really don&#8217;t know how it will work. But moving from testnet to implementation is truly an exciting moment,&#8221; Laughlin said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As reported during the launch of the Runes protocol on the day of <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/bitcoin-undergoes-fourth-halving\">Bitcoin&#8217;s halving<\/a>, the share of transactions with Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/runes-tokens-dominate-bitcoin-transactions\">did not exceed 2%<\/a> of the total volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitcoin &#8220;inscription&#8221; #70 614 708 has set a new record for file size on the Ordinals protocol, reaching 3.969 MB. ?
