ok wat

tldr eli5 plz

they fixed some bad documentation, it's a joke about how it's kinda broken in places but at least now some documentation is correct

Standardness is a retarded thing to argue about imo. These transactions will still get into blocks.

They should be filtered as much as possible and this issue should be talked about.

Yes

Eu avisei hà muito que quando alguém quiser ferrar o BTC, não precisa fazer nada de megalomaníaco; basta cooptar os devs.

I guess core devs answered that piece somewhere? It would be nice to have their side of the story, too.

They admitted to it

OK. Thanks. I feel like I don't know enough technically to judge of the severity of that thing. But it doesn't feel right at first glance.

So they had bad documentation that didn't reflect how the code worked, and they fixed the documentation.

While I'm not a fan of spam on chain, this is hardly an attack.

The social layer is under attack by grifters
