Mother of all spam attacks on bitcoin network! proof?

[amaclin]

All transactions posted by Lauda are more or less being operated by one entity
(you just didn't want to browse through the entire list ).

I am not interested in such investigations. I am ready to spend 15 seconds for checking
only the couple addresses.

I tend to say that it is coming from (wealthy) BU enthusiasts,

I am far away from Core/BU/etc religious wars. I even do not want to comment anything about it.

Only one word: everyone anytime is looking for his profit, not for the bright future for everyone.
And any ammo are good in this fighting.

Please be careful with the pitchforks.

A small portion of the so called "spam" some of you guys reported is due to Komodos Notarization mechanism. Read up here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.0

It isn't really religious. One side is by far superior to the other. Why else would several entities resort to mass spamming to 'prove a point'?

Komodo is wasting my storage space, therefore this is spam for me. I do not want this "Notarization mechanism". Figure out a better way of creating less bloat for whatever it is that you want to do.

Please stop spamming in this topic about Komodo. one of you already said this if you read the topic before spamming, and there are already too many posts about Komodo Notarization in this board already.

I am not going to remove your post but this is the last one i will let exist on this topic. sorry!

We should not just ignore the ongoing agenda by big pocketed BUcoiners to try to shut down Core. Since they cannot outcode them, they resort to cheap, brute force approaches, such as bribing miners (Roger Ver) and spamming the network with trash then claiming the fees are too high or its too slow (Roger Ver again). Also trying to ban those that address the constant bullshit in /r/btc (does Ver ring a bell?) We have the evidence.
Big pocketed Roger Ver is using his money and influence to constantly push all those shitty softwares. We saw it with XT, Classic, now BU. Anything goes. Those are also promoted by CIA-compromised Gavin amongs other characters.

It is.
dispute between the adherents of segwit and bigblock for me like a dispute
between Catholics and Protestants who better trust in God

The majority of the the technical community has agreed that Segwit is the best way forward (which is thoroughly tested one one side). On the other side, you have untested and radical change to the underlying theory called "emergent consensus". Either you understand both and you don't trust, or you don't understand them and you trust either side. Only the latter can be compared to religion.

You should probably make a table of used addresses, TX counts and identifiers (if known). In this case, we have identified one cause of SPAM and you could mark it as such in said table.

This kind of majority costs less than nothing in bitcoin world.

I am thinking about writing a program which would count my transactions (both send and receive)
in the blockchain (count and total size). Seems to me that I also utilize several megabytes on your
hard drive

I think your language deficiency is making you confused.

Here's another list as provided by a IRC member. The left number is not the number of TXs, but rather the number of created UTXOs from a certain address, currently sitting unconfirmed in the mempool:

Code:

707;"3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f"

This one is now at 1.5k unconfirmed transactions.

very long chain of storing some unknown datas
from my point of view - this is blockchain spam.
but our rules allow such things. no complaining. just eating my popcorn  

btw. cat anybody explain me why these transactions with a fee 25 sat/b were confirmed today?

Its not uncommon, people just focus too much on the first few blocks. With patience way lower fees than 100 or 200 sat/b are possible. See e.g. cointape[1], 34k of todays confirmed transactions paid 1-20 sat/b.

I have not tried setting that very low confirmation fee. The lowest fee I have set is at blockchain.info, in that site my lowest fee would be around 1500 satoshi. Other sites especially the gambling sites and exchanges are setting high miner fee when we withdraw that ranges from 20,000 satoshi to 50,000 satoshi. Next time I will try to set a very small amount and observe how long will it take before my  transaction is confirmed.

1) CPFP
2) ViaBTC/F2Pool/etc accelerators
3) Transactions with priority 57,600,000+ ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees )

None of these three reasons matches our case.
So. We do see that Bitfury has its own unknown reasons to prioritize transactions from 3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f

You can see that these transactions are placed in the beginning of the block.
So, they were prioritized in Bitfury mempool.

just a thought but have you checked the OP_RETURN part of these transactions to see what they are storing? they may be doing some sort of weird data storage thing on blockchain. although it is way too many transactions!

here is on:

I have much more interesting things in my life rather than checking OP_RETURN datas in thousands of transactions

This is so lame, spending multiple 0.0001btc just to clog bitcoin blockchain? To fillup the whole blocks? This is serious. This might be a propaganda of other altcoin or from Bitcoin Unlimited.

Is there anything we can do to stop this?

If you "find a way to stop this", you've just rendered bitcoin not permissionless any more.

Mempool is practically empty right now.

Yep, fee suggestions by cointape[1] still high though. Still too many idiots not lowering their fees.

this is not such a good reference for setting fee anymore, i have been watching it and it has been pretty high even though mempool was empty and other resources have been reporting a lower fee
https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/main
also the same with Electrum, it reports a decent and low fee/byte
