The communication reflects a discussion on the functionality and implications of OP_SUCCESS within a specific computational or blockchain context. The person initiating the conversation expresses uncertainty about the potential for an attack related to OP_SUCCESS, questioning its validity and the conditions under which its behavior becomes restricted. They highlight that this restriction only comes into effect after surpassing a certain signaling threshold. The concern here revolves around why a reorganization (reorg) of the network would occur if miners have the capability to preemptively censor OP_SUCCESS actions unless they adhere to specific restrictions, akin to current practices where such operations are entirely censored.
Further, the individual seeks clarity on what exactly constitutes the threshold that prompts miners to take action or show concern regarding OP_SUCCESS operations. Despite probing for deeper insights into whether such a mechanism could be disruptive, the person remains unconvinced of its potential to cause disruption. They maintain a tone of genuine curiosity and openness to understanding, rather than asserting a firm stance on the matter. The correspondence concludes with an expression of gratitude for the engagement, despite the lingering uncertainties and unresolved questions regarding the operational dynamics and implications of OP_SUCCESS in the discussed context.
