have spoken about it at length, many times
i hate the spam, but do not think we can stop it, bitcoin will be fine, nodes will be a bit more expensive to run
node operators should have more options regardless, opensats has been focused on this concern for years, i have donated significant time on that front

Okay, keep up the good work then, and thank you
It’s not about the spam. IMHO, Bitcoin Core were too dominant, too close to the code and became corrupted. They went against consensus for no good reason. Next time, while many nodes may not paying attention, they could unilaterally push another code change that would reduce #bitcoin immutability even further. They are too close to the code. They are the biggest risk. While not ideal, I run Knots now.
I think ideally, we should aim to have several good options, with none having too much node-share. Maybe not more than 20%. Long term project, and first we have to win the current battle.
