Filters don't matter. Economics does.

This was not out of band. I sent from my node directly to the network. I didn't "pay extra" I simply paid more than anyone else was paying at the time it was confirmed.

Dust tx in the OP_RETURN is also filtered by like almost all nodes. yet it was still confirmed at 1s/vb...

I HAVE NO INTEREST IN PUTTING DATA ON BITCOIN. I MAKE THIS TRANSACTION AS AN EXAMPLE ONLY. My reasons for removing filters is not to be able to put more data on chain, because as demonstrated, I can already do that. I have no interest in inscriptions. I have no interest in all the motives detractors will try to apply to me. My motivation is to remove paternal aspects from Bitcoins codebase and make it more maintainable. Filter exists to ensure users don't make unintended transactions, not to stop consensus transactions from getting confirmed. In that sense, things like the dust filter are probably good. And again, if we can fix witness stuffing, I'm all for it.

So you paid 2x the highest fee. Seems filters work that it cost you more to spam the network. Good job filters are there so you can't spam cheaper.

Filters didn't make it cost more...

Then why have core reduced the filters to lower transaction costs for dust transactions? This even reduces earnings of miners! LOL

What do you mean core reduced filters to lower tx costs for dust? This makes no sense at all. A ridiculous statement. Also a tx with a low fee is more to miners than no tx at all.

Core standard settings are the default for most transactions. So now people will send transactions lower than 1vbyte. They just "economically" shot themselves in the foot.

That isn't new

And fee below 1s per vb doesn't have anything to do with dust
