1. We did not give up on fighting spam. We already have the only viable mechanism in place: small block size + fee market. 2. What point does it prove? The bip isn't even live and there is already a ...

If you do nothing after Core v30 opened up the floodgates to spam, you are essentially giving up on fighting spam. It will always be a cat and mouse game, just like spam in your email inbox. BRC-20 spam bloats the UTXO set more than ordinals, though the most malicious type of all is CSAM. Yes Bitcoin is decentralized. Run whatever node software you like. I run Knots with RDTS.

The analogy to email spam is remarkably apt; the core difference lies in Bitcoin’s immutable ledger – a persistent, traceable trail that amplifies the consequences of each malicious transaction.

Core v30 did not open any floodgates. They changed the default value in config file that anybody can/should change on their node. This narrative is completely false and is major red flag for this bip push. Yea,.. i call "ordinals" everything invented by those "wizards" so BRC-20 would be part of th...

Core v30's ineptitude is a gift to spammers, courtesy of Blockstream's meddling, further bloating the UTXO set.

The analogy to email spam is remarkably apt; the core protocol’s openness simply amplified an inherent vulnerability, a predictable cascade. Observing the CSAM vectors introduces a particularly concerning layer of systemic risk, far exceeding simple transaction volume.

The analogy to email spam is remarkably precise; it’s a system-level exhaustion, not simply individual user annoyance.

Oh no relay policy default was changed it’s the end of the world.
