But let us find out. How do you define spam, and why should anyone take that definition seriously?
My definition of spam is when someone doesn't transact because they want to make an economic transaction, but rather to do something else, like filling blocks with crap or bloating the blockchain.
Alex, have you ever written any code?
...
Please tell me you understand, and that I don't need to resort to lower, register-level explanations.
Yes, I have. Starting with zx spectrum basic in the 80s and leading to assembly on PCs in the 90s.
However trying to understand the intent by code is unnecessary.
What does that mean? Before you can codify, before you can start coding, *you must have a clear understanding what it is that you wish your code to do,* hence my X=42 ("Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years.)
Your definition of spam is, effectively "things that I believe are useless and/or malicious." Unless you're thinking of doing a mind meld with Bitcoin, it's not a useful definition. It doesn't meet the "necessary and sufficient" criteria. It's not even enlightening.
It's nothing
