I love all the "WHY CANT U DO THIS ON TESTNET YOU JERKS!" messages.
Can you imagine if an organization who hated Bitcoin like the big banks, a government, or mastercard spent cash to clog up the bitcoin network for weeks? You think they'd care that you called them mean names?
They are paying the necessary fees to use the network, even if you consider it spam. Welcome to the free market.
You think that is free market? To flood the network for maybe a 3 day backlog of unconfirmed transactions?
Yeah, you are right.
Lets also charge billions of penny transactions/per second through the visa/mastercard system and when they shut it down and freeze it due to fraud and ddos, we'll just shake our fist and be like "hey yous.. free market guyz".
Except that their system can probably handle that much better than Bitcoins 3tps. And they can cancel backlogged transactions without consensus.
So if these guys are paying the fee for the transactions, its bad? Who decides what is spam and what isnt? why is this bad, but dice transactions are ok?
