i didn't say this full block spam attack we're undergoing wasn't affecting my node at_all. sure, i'm in swap, b/c of the huge #unconf tx's but it hasn't shut down or stressed my nodes to any degree. one of the arguments by Cripplecoiners was that these large block attacks would shut full nodes down from destabilization resulting in centralization. i'm not seeing that.

The 1MB sanity check/safety limit is the reason you aren't seeing nodes destabilized by "huge #unconf tx's."

We would be "seeing that" if gavin@tla.mit.gov and hearn@google.mil had gotten their way and successfully rammed through their poorly researched, hilariously ill-conceived 20MB proposal.

Luckily, Team Gavincoin got fukkin' r3kt exactly as I foretold:

If you ask me, Gavin is a burden for Bitcoin, because he is constantly out for a power grab (the Bitcoin Foundation was his first attempt). His narcissistic behavior is unacceptable and his suggestions are unscientific (although he claims to be "chief scientist") and lack substance. He should be forced to surrender his development privileges.

Sadly, so many people follow him blindly, just because he enjoys the public spotlight.
