The more I fantasize about Memo as a global social network the more I think 0x6d won’t be a definitive code of the protocol. More like the first byte that defines a thematic branch.

what is 0x6d?

Byte that currently precedes all actions on Memo – memo.cash/protocol. The 'Set name' example script looks like this: 6a 02 6d01 06 746573742032.

6a is op_return, 02 is 'push 2 bytes on stack' 6d01 are those two 'set name' bytes, 06 is 'push 6 bytes on stack', 746573742032 are those six bytes which equal to 'test 2' in UTF-8.

By looking at 6d byte you can get all Memo related actions from the blockchain (with a bit of 'false positives' that you will later filter out).

You can think of modern day memo as a sapling of the new generation bulletin board engine. Many will fork it it use as a home for their communities.
