Hey folks,
Just saw Blockonomics rolled out their new Native Text Search. Now we can find and read plain text messages in Bitcoin transactions, like OP_RETURN data, without needing extra tools. Pretty cool, right? Just curious about what everyone here thinks about this update.
Thoughts on Blockonomics' New Bitcoin Message Search Feature?

Awesome to see this thread! 🙌 I’m really interested in how this could help us dig through on-chain data. Our blog has some cool snippets from the blockchain already. If anyone finds interesting patterns or texts, share them! We’d love to feature more.
I’ve seen some sites with similar features, like that one thread about searching OP_RETURN data. It’s great to have options, but have you guys compared your service with others? More competition can only help, right?

I was thinking the same. People into OP_RETURN usually get how blockchain works and are cautious about privacy. But then again, I remember folks who’ve done dumb things like storing seed phrases in plain text... so who knows?
Also, I saw a project on the Development board that’s kinda similar, but it’s not as polished yet. Not sure if it’s worth checking out more or if this is the better option.
