blocksize survive in spam the mempool you've nostr If spam. survived you'll 2016/2017 the (aka war)

What spam? Already been blocked on amethyst for days.

Yeah my Amethyst is clean too. noStrudel not so much. (same relays)

Nostrudel broke for me now. Just snort in using in web

It does have some issues atm that's for sure. Were you using the production web client or the nightly build / dev version?

What's mempool spam? 🤔

bloating the mempool with tens-of-thousands low or no fee transactions. Not really a big thing these days but back then it lead to the user activated soft-fork, SegWit, two Bitcoin forks and taproot. Now we have extended periods of days with almost empty blocks 😆

Transactions with fees cannot be spam, but zero-fee transactions definitely can be.

Wasn't there a 1sat/vbyte minimum fee introduced to eliminate those zero-fee transactions? 🤔

Cannot believe that zero-fee transactions had anything to do with UASF, SegWit or Taproot, though.

Yeah technically they cannot but back then fees exploded and nobody would pick up 1 sat transactions. oh you can believe it, I saw it with my own eyes and people like nostr:npub1q92nwwk8ndllkr6cdslxswt0n6pdgmm6lecpd4rwm89ydw37r0kslptxrw or nostr:npub1cllf97qv29kqc493t6xj26kqw2qsxmvnf6sl7w0mpnv2plt8wumqta3zny would probably tell you the same.

Yeah back then it was crazy days. So much more wild west than now.

Better times
