@IOHK_Laurie Could you comment on it please? Is this a bug or a feature?

I believe you can make the address as large as you like, subject to the transaction limit. Obviously most people don’t – because you have to pay for it and what’s the point. But you can. And I can see looking back in explorer that many people have. I only realised recently, but other people have been doing this for a while, for whatever reason.
So it’s not a bug. If the developers thought through the implications I don’t know - but probably they did, that’s what the fee is for. The “thing” about it, is that fees are fixed in ADA, when ADA was $1 you’d be very thoughtful about what you added in, but at $0.07 I’m on the verge of uploading the family photo album.
I’d also like to test the alleged 64KB transaction limit, if anyone would like to donate me some ADA for that.

that sounds like a great way to spend a few cents!
So that I get this straight, are these images encoded into output addresses?
I would have thought the tax had the data fields for payloads.

The ADA/byte cost is only 0.000043946, so wouldn’t a 64KB transaction only cost about 3 ADA?

Wow the embedded images did surprise me a little. Very nice discovery! Though I’m glad it was not a photo of Michael Parsons.
