Why would the cost to a particular node depend on the number of nodes?

lol, do we have single centralized server ?

OK, it sounds like you're looking at the costs to the network as a whole, rather than the cost to an individual node. Indeed this cost will be higher (cost/node * number of nodes).

However, the table I posted specifically addressed the cost per node. So...which is the important cost? In my opinion, it's the cost per node. As a node operator or as a miner, I only care how much it costs me. If my actions can effectively charge the spammer $1200 while costing me a few pennies, I'll do it! Whether a thousand or a million other nodes also contribute a few pennies to penalize the spammer makes no difference to me.

How are you looking at the issue?

Why do you think that there is only 1 spammer ? In reality there can be much more (100x ?) spammers than miners.
