He's not. Spam filtration is always a cat and mouse game. That doesn't mean the spam gets to win.
Discussion
In fact the game is heavily stacked in favor of the defenders.
It's orders of magnitude more difficult to find novel ways to embed data in transactions than it is to detect and discard them with mempool policy!
Attackers can only win long term by psyopping the defenders into believing that it is pointless to play the cat and mouse game.
Thank you, I was looking for arguments to answer the email.
In that case a stronger argument would be: regardless what anyone thinks regarding inscriptions (if they are spam or not) *everyone* should agree that those who see them as spam deserve to have the option to not relay them, even if it has to be turned on manually.
In my view, arguing that "nobody" tweaks their configuration file is anti-bitcoin thinking. Running a node is all about sovereignty. Having yet another option (there are many) for filtering unconfirmed transactions empowers the node operator to enact his own mempool policy. Conversely, arguing for not adding these options goes against the bitcoin ethos.
Damn, I just sent my answer just now 😖

Well, prove to me that I’m wrong by giving us the only thing we can’t get ourselves, the code.
I'm glad that more people are waking up to the fact that Bitcoin is under attack. I'm sure a solution can be found even if it means suspending #TapRoot.
In the meantime. Legal action seems appropriate. We know who many of the players are. People should be advised that participation in scriptions etc may expose them to personal legal liability.
These attacks may be ripe for the new expanded cyber crimes office. As well as Class Action litigation. CFTC, SEC, FTC and FBI action too.
Bitcoin is not a toy. People's savings are not a toy..⚖️👮♂️💀
He has several options to stop inscriptions, however legal actions are not part of it.
Nor do I expect him to. His developer expertise are what's needed. At least he spoke up early, and proposed action. Everyone else is acting like they're on some kind of runaway train. #SnowPiercer..lol
But it doesn't mean the rest of us can't pursue #legal #relief for the damages already done, until the code can be patched or repaired. And people need to be warned that what they're doing may have serious #legal and #financial consequences..💀
