we're not even under attack yet blocks continue to fill up:
Unless you correlate it with transaction fees paid, that is meaningless data because we don't know how much is spam.
Also if the owner of the coinbase for the block is the one inserting the spam, then the data would be meaningless even with transaction fees correlated (because the spam could be paying itself).
Non-engineers pontificate.engineers, pfft!
what kinda "engineer" would even pontificate that the miner is inserting spam into his own blocks when the blocks are coming from different pools and he can't possibly be producing so many consecutive blocks on his own?
dude, you're just a sham.
Did you not see the word "also". If even 1 of those could be a miner inserting spam into his own blocks, then my statement was not in error.
I presented multiple orthogonal statements. This seems to confuse your pea brain.
Also in the event the monopoly has GHash.io's 51% of the hashrate (probably greater than 51% by now, hidden behind Sybil attack pools), then yes indeed the monopoly could have consecutive blocks.
