your "freedom" to spam isn’t free. the cost of that "freedom" is paid by every other bitcoin user(node) operator. nobody signed up to store your trash forever.
when you act like "the game rules don’t forbid it, so i can do whatever i want," you’re literally allowing the game to mutate. you make it turn into something nobody else wants to play.
just because every rule isn’t explicitly written doesn’t mean everything is allowed. it means there’s a hole that should be closed.
every game has unwritten rules, the spirit of how it’s meant to be played, even if they’re not written in the rulebook.
in bitcoin, policy is exactly that: the unwritten rules for how to participate as a user(node) operator without breaking the spirit of the system.
this new soft fork, only turns unwritten rules into written ones, because of the exploiters. because the exploits change the game of being a bitcoin user(node).
we want have more players, not less, playing the same game satoshi has created.
tx fees are not the DoS filters.
tx fees are for the miners.
protocol and policy with size limits are the spam and DoS filters.
every bitcoin user supposed to be a node. nodes are the bitcoin users. and the protocol is designed to protect them, so there can be more of them, not less. making bitcoin truly decentralized.
im seriously considering 300kb blocks!
