No the problem won't be solved, as unfortunately there is no way to prevent spam in ANY protocol since spam is by definition a protocol-valid-operation.

Protocols handle spam with spam filters that mitigate the problem instead.

So how to exclude data defined as spam from a valid block provided via the protocol?

Since spam transactions are protocol-valid, nodes must accept any valid block—even if it contains spam.

Our spam filters are designed to:

- Discourage VC investment in meta-protocols

- Signal to miners that we prefer not to include these transactions

Please note that MARA (via Slipstream) is currently the only miner processing non-standard transactions, but they appear likely to discontinue the service soon.

So discourage means: restricting someone

And

Signalling to miners: asking them for permission

This does not compute, for me.

If you don't understand that this does not make sense, there is not much to discuss anymore.

Are you describing an actual 'liberal democracy'?

Or does that mean that fees are not already signal? And filters means signal on top of signal, correct?
