There are a number of references on-line that state that the permitted output quantity for OP_RETURN outputs is strictly zero satoshis:
Bitcoin Core 0.9.x to 0.10.x will, by default, relay and mine null information transactions with as much as 40 bytes in a single information push and just one null information output that pays precisely 0 satoshis
[…]
Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 defaults to relaying and mining null information outputs with as much as 83 bytes with any variety of information pushes, offered the overall byte restrict shouldn’t be exceeded. There should nonetheless solely be a single null information output and it should nonetheless pay precisely 0 satoshis.
(emphasis mine)
Nevertheless, I can not discover any indication that this restriction existed in any bitcoin model
The one policy-related impact of OP_RETURN transactions that I can see is that they’ve a distinct decrease restrict for nValue and allow values as little as 0.
Is there or was there any higher coverage restrict on the worth of OP_RETURN outputs?
