There were only about ~700 non-standard OP returns on-chain previous to this PR, and now as this PR is coming to fruition, just on

And people are saying removing the filter won't increase spam? Just the mere act of saying they would remove it has increased spam by an order of magnitude.
Core is completely corrupt if they do not own up to the mistake and reverse course.

There were that many waiting to be mined before the PR... You just didn't see them.
The whole point to removing the filter was to gain a more accurate picture of the real mempool. You would rather stick your head in the sand?
Every mempool is a "real mempool". The thing that matters RE:Filters is propagation to the miner that wins a block... Less filtering nodes = more likely spam propagation.
Source: "I made it up"
Not really, just connect to miners directly
The source is that is the fact of the matter... The fact that you don't know that is exactly why your opinion on it is null an void.
Which is something you might do as an individual, but it's pretty obvious that bitcoin implementations aren't going to hardcode every single miner into the peerlist of every single node. So realistically, whether you have a spammy workaround or not, the implementation that most nodes run matters and the filters still matter.
No they don't. If someone wants a transaction to be mined and it is valid, it will be done. That is the whole way the fee market works.
AND... they would pay more if they need a private mempool to do it. disincentives. You can run circles around this all day, but the reason we're gonna go 1000x on OPreturn spam in the next few weeks, is solely because of Bitcoin Core choosing "bitcoin is a database" as the hill to die on.
Shitcoiners are sharks and yall are choosing to chum the water at the beach.
It ends up in blocks and not mempools, it makes everything worse
Why would they have to pay more? That's just not true. Again you're wrong. Highest fee is highest fee. It's not more expensive because you go to some other nodes mempool.
Yes, it distorts the fee market.
The spams existence is actually the cause of that distortion. It has a negligible effect right now on fee calculations, but that will change if spam is encouraged and amplified and in much higher quantity.
Whatever man I'm done talking about it. You just wrong
