More knots less spam
Good morning Rusty! But we dont embrace it, right?! You seemed to have given up and opened the floodgate
"But empirically less of it."
Oh, I love empirical data! How much less?
Everything that doesn’t get mined! Which these days is nothing…
Well, it's not obvious to me, even if that's true. You will probably receive it twice (once to discover you don't want it, then once again when it's in a block anyway?) but you won't send it (except maybe with the block again?). I don't know the details of tx and block relay. And I'm not sure what fraction of txs these filters apply to, either.
This is why I was interested in the claim of empirical results, but maybe nobody has actually measured, which is sad.

Yep.
I assume someone has stats on what % of transactions Knots rejects. I imagine it’s fairly high given all the inscriptions out there (which I believe it blocks?). But not sure if “high” is 5% or 30.

That's why we need UASF now
