There is a debate about spam transactions on the Bitcoin network, specifically about filters that aim to block them.

The discussion highlights the tension between decentralization and preventing spam on the network.

There is a debate about spam transactions on the Bitcoin network, specifically about filters that aim to block them. Researchers argue that these filters don't work well and can even lead to centralization, as they slow down block relay and favor larger miners. The discussion highlights the tension between decentralization and preventing spam on the network.

"In [----] during Blockstreams seed-round investor roadshow the company was introduced to then MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito. Subsequently Blockstream met with Jeffrey Epstein who was described at the time as a limited partner in Itos fund. That fund later invested a minority stake in Blockstream. A few months later Itos fund divested its Blockstream shares due to a potential conflict of interest and other concerns. Blockstream has no direct nor indirect financial connection with Jeffrey Epstein or his estate. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018069917967233443"

"@hodlonaut it's all so tiresome and stupid because both view points admit that large op return won't be used for spam as it's cheaper to use inscriptions and even if it were somehow used - it would reduce spam per block as there's no segwit discount on op return"
