Increase Minimum Transaction Fee W/ 2MB Blocks?

What about this?

I was thinking that could help reduce spam (by making it more expensive) why simultaneously relieving current network congestion.

Dude, you are a genius.  I don't know why the others haven't thought about this yet.  Maybe you should call the team and let them know about it.

by how much?
have you seen the spam attack transactions? if not i suggest you look it up and check the fee per byte they have included in their transactions. you will surely get the answer to your suggestion.

hint: it is pretty high (expensive)

100 sat/B floor and 8M blocks is a reasonable compromise for both camps and it will make small transactions uneconomical - blockchain bloat will be limited.

2MB block is not a big factor to get included into the bitcoin network. Most of the small scale miners gets affected due to this issue. When that issue gets resolved, the minimum transaction fee gets increases along with the 2MB blocks.

Anyone else with thoughts on this proposal?

The unlimited idea seems too far in the direction of another extreme.
