Current version of BU is unacceptable (Asicboost).

The idea behind BU is trash, and it's proposal is highly dangerous (EC), and its code is trash as well. Ver can't even fund 1 proper group of developers apparently.

BU is not a solution of any kind.

Ah don't say that. If you are a Chinaman, holding the exclusive patent for ASICBOOST, and your problem is "How can I leverage that to control Bitcoin" then BU is the perfect solution Grin

Good one.

But BU, as is, hands over BTC to Bitmain and will result in blockchains that will grow several TB per year. Even with 1MB blocks we are better off. Sad

I concur.

Bitcoin is working as intended. Serious transfers only.

You don't need 4 Exahashes worth of security for non-serious transfers anyhow.

Most of the transactions in the mempool seem to be quite unimportant, considering the low fees in them.
Who wants to store all those new UTXOs in his RAM and the transactions on his harddrive permanently?

Unfortunately, you can't really block them either which is why spam is effective as long as it pays adequate fees.
