why does it only go back till 2017? 🤔
It's a corporate coin with 20% rewards to the foundation, works with regulators to add more transparency in the protocol, isn't private by default, little to no agorist p2p community or use in free markets, explicitly panders to large institutional investors (gayscale) , and pays per tweet to shill to name a few

This seems to be the heart of our disagreement. You say spam doesn't present a threat similar to a DoS vector; I say they both cause serious harm, but spam does so more subtly and more slowly. This article by Chris Guida outlines why: https://x.com/cguida6/status/1968117953871720463
As for why miners continue to mine spam, that is the golden goose problem: financial incentives can cause miners to slowly and subtly harm the goose, a knife cut at a time, to get the golden egg more quickly. But the goose may die by a thousand cuts. It is part of why I personally want to eliminate spam from my mempool and slow down blocks that contain it -- to provide a counter financial incentive so that miners will reconsider whether they should mine it or not. And it is also why I invite others to join me in the effort
> slow down blocks that contain it
Do you relay blocks that have spam Txs to your peers?
Also this seems to disproportionately hurt small miners more
