Economists and writer of the Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous, has burdened the continuing debate about spam inscriptions within the Bitcoin network, which indicates that he would “throw in” some SATs to finance a full-time developer that focuses on making Bitcoin spam harder and costlier.
Ammous made the remarks in response to a thread initiated by the pseudonymous developer Grassfedbitcoin, which demanded the Bitcoin core to merge the pull request #28408, which enables the knot operators to filter the inscriptions more easily.
According to Grassfedbitcoin, the dearth of inscription filter tools contributes to unnecessary blockchain blossoms and undermines the role of Bitcoin (BTC) as a monetary protocol.
“Nobody who leads a knot desires to forward inscriptions,” he wrote, argued that the OP_Return border previously was justified with false assumptions. It pushed for a configurable, standard directive that contained using Bitcoin for storing JPEGs and never for money data.
Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, questioned the proposal and described the inscription filtering as “arms arms”. He found that spam data that’s embedded in Bitcoin transactions will be modified endlessly using code structures, which requires constant updates for filter tools.

Ammous compares Bitcoin spam with e -mail
Ammous compared the Bitcoin spam problem with an e -mail spam -Another armamed company continues to fight without giving up the system.
“It's tough, but it surely is value helping the spammer faster,” said Ammous. He argued that the fight against spam was not censorship and located that knot operators have already rejected invalid transactions.
“A node runner who desires to remove the spam of delays isn’t any less valid than spam from retards,” he added.
The debate recorded a comment from other users. One participant proposed to treat core developers who treat spam coding employees at certain start-ups as “not wool QA engineers” and easily to not standardize every trick that they supply.
Ammous continued and proposed to “dismantle” the work of developers, construct the spam tools and even set them outside the coders to overwhelm their systems.
The conversation reflects the continuing tensions within the Bitcoin community concerning the intended use of the network. With inscriptions that proceed to extend the network, technical countermeasures – and pointed criticism of those defended spam – turn into louder.
In a report of February 4, Mempool Research said that the introduction of inscriptions could drive as much as 4 megabytes (MB) per block and much higher than the present average values.
The average block size of Bitcoin – the quantity of knowledge in each block published in the general public's public principal book – is currently around 1.5 MB.
