WEEKLY SPAMCHAIN REPORT

[PepeLapiu]

I had no desire talk about XBT bitcoin, I was contempt with talking about spamcoin only. But it appears you people are obcessed with XBT Bitcoin. So here we are.

XBT suffered a spam attack early on. It took a while to release the next Knots with the appropriate filters. Now that most nodes are running the filters, the spam was reduced from 80% of the chain to about 4% for the last 24 hours.

When was the last time soamcoin saw less than 5% spam in a 24 hour period?
Answer: in early 2023, 3 and a half years ago.

Here is what you need to understand: yes it's always possible to spam either chain. But if you were building a spam business and investing a lot of money into it, would you do it on spamcoin where core will protect your business from those naughty monetary bitcoiners?
Or would you do it on XBT where you are sure to get rugged?

Of course you don't,  nobody likes to talk about a shitcoin failure that he supported for months and turned out to be a failure!

This guy paid the price of a coffee to inscribe the Quran on the luckeshitcoin chain, so
a) Is the Quran still there and will be in all eternity?
b) How much will it cost to inscribe that on Bitcoin

How much it would cost on spamcoin is not really relevent. Whatever it would cost for the same size monetary space, it's likely to cost 5x less for spam.

But on either chain, the miner fees are a marginal cost. The real cost is the enormous amount of marketing required to make people want to buy that garbage.

You can't build that kind of business on XBT. But you sure can on spamcoin. Don't worry, core will reject them if anyone tries to implement filters that might bother your business.

Like I said, we suffered a spam attack. What we didn't do is sit in a circle jerk and tell ourselves filters are censorship, filters don't work, and we don't know what is spam anyways.

When core rejected ordinal filters, that was a signal to all of the spammers elsewhere to come on spamcoin and dump their garbage on spamcoin.

Core repeats the message as often as they can: "Welcome spammers, we can't stop you, and even if we could, we shouldn't because that would be censorship?"

This year, we are getting 50% of spam by block size. Next year it will probably be 60-70%.

Related to XBT ticker that mentioend few times, i'll just leave these links
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29061.0

https://support.kraken.com/articles/360001206766-bitcoin-currency-code-xbt-vs-btc

Just as a side note, probably does not matter since nobody is using lukecoin but core released 32.1 a couple of weeks ago all the 29.x branches are EOL.
Since luke is building knots off of the legacy unsupported code sooner or later a bug is going to be found that may not be patched in a timely manner.

Not a big deal but something to consider.

If someone concerned about Bitcoin Knots based on EOL version of Bitcoin Core, they probably should be concerned about how Luke write code. See https://blog.lopp.net/knot-a-serious-project/, only section "Luke's Security Practices".

I now accuse you of intentionally violating forum rules.

Way to show the world you're a lukecoiner:

1) Start a subject about the spam on Bitcoin
2) Try over and over to convince people spam pays less and how cheap it is to spam compared to normal transactions
3) Be asked about the costs of spam on lukeshitcoin:
4) Reply with:

How much it would cost on spamcoin is not really relevent.

And then you ask why people start insulting you!

This year, we are getting 50% of spam by block size. Next year it will probably be 60-70%.

If you get more spam and people actually PAY for that, does this not make the spam actually a thing people want to pay money for, thus....no longer spam?
Oh, forget it, I always forget elementary school logic is beyond your capabilities.

You are just too funny.
My point is that miner fees are a very small cost to spammers.
But coretard and core devs have been telling you for 4 years now that "the fees are the only filter we need"
Well, if the fees are the filter, they are filtering out monetary transactions, not spam.
In other words, you have been lied to and gaslit for the last 4 years.
 
I never claimed that the fees are the only filter we should use against spam, coretards kept repeating that, not me.

If you get more spam and people actually PAY for that, does this not make the spam actually a thing people want to pay money for, thus....no longer spam?
Oh, forget it, I always forget elementary school logic is beyond your capabilities.

So if I pay someone to send you spam emails, and they can make a living off of it, that means, based on your logic, that it's no longer spam?

We rejected bcash because large blocks were too much of a burden on nodes, and this would cause centralization. Remember that?
Now the coretard have gone and done a 180 and they are allowing blocks to be filled with spam. And everyone is now saying nodes don't matter. You guys are sounding exactly like bcashers now.

ANYWAYS YOU PEOPLE ARE INTOLERABLE.
OP SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ALTCOINS. YOU PEOPLE INSISTED TO DERAIL AND BRINGING UO UP ALTS. AND THE TREAD WAS MOVED TO ALTS AT YOUR REQUEST.
STUPID FUCKS JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO BE TALKED ABOUT IN THE BITCOIN FORUM.
