I agree. My original question (while stated incorrectly?) was:
Is spamming a UTXO set tied to a specific address something to be concerned about. You don’t think anybody has a UTXO set though.
If I have the keys to spend a certain number of UTXO’s, couldn’t I consider those mine?
yes if you have the keys that match an address is several UTXO's those can be considered "yours" but they are really just some random UTXO's in the set that happen to have an address in them, for which you have a key that can match
spam in the utxo set has really nothing to do with the addresses in those spam utxo's.. other than the fact that they can be used as inputs by someone with the key
And if that address is known to the public; a corporate address, or a public figure for instance, couldn’t that address then have data which it would not like to be associated with now tied to their address, with the only way to rid themselves of association with the data being to spend the UTXO?
If you send something illegal to a public mailing address, does anyone associate that material with the owner of the address? No. It's the sender associated with it, not the recipient.
Also the utxo is spendable, it just doesn't make economic sense to spend it. Remember that a transaction can have multiple utxo's as inputs so you could add a 1-sat utxo as one of multiple inputs and that would spend it.... not that it would matter.
so to answer your question directly, no. No one is going to give a shit if you send a bunch of inscriptions to a known address. That doesn't associate the owner of the address with any spam you send them.
Wow. Thank you so much for engaging in this dialogue with me, I learned a lot. 💜🫂💜
I don’t know if I necessarily agree with you that nobody would care; especially given how much authorities/others care about what address BITCOIN (UTXO’s) is sent to. Being set up in the mail is not unheard of. Perhaps the publicly distributed nature of the ledger would guard against this. I’d have to think about that one a little more deeply.
if someone creates a spam utxo that happens to have your address it in, that's meaningless.
