There must still only be a single null data output and it must still pay
|
||||
exactly 0 duffs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Since the null data output must include opcodes, the limit for data
|
||||
is less than 83 bytes. A typical OP_RETURN is limited to 80 bytes
|
||||
due to the following 3 required bytes:
|
||||
|
||||
* OP_RETURN (0x6a)
|
||||
* OP_PUSHDATA1 (0x4c)
|
||||
* Data Size (e.g. 0x50 for 80 bytes)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following annotated hexdump shows an example OP_RETURN output:

The `-datacarriersize` Dash Core configuration option allows you to

set the maximum number of bytes in null data outputs that you will relay

or mine.
