The sensible policy is that relay should never be more restrictive than what is reliably getting mined in practice.

Anything more restrictive has the collateral harm of increasing centralization pressure by seriously hurting block propagation performance and by driving transactions to direct miner submission.

I disagree.

Do you agree? I have also heard a similar perspective during RBF. That applying personalised policies may only reduce the efficiency of your node. If your node discards a transaction that the miners are very likely to confirm, then when a block comes in, your node needs to validate it from scratch...

Greg always comes through with a calm, insightful post in the middle of everyone freaking out.

No because miners will scam the scammers by charging a premium to mine their transactions the network disapproves of. The bigger the miner the larger the premium. Subject spammers to THAT fee market. Filters work.

Poor propagation of blocks full of spam is a feature, not a bug.
