about a month has passed from this, so can someone give us a summary of what exactly happened. i honestly missed it and the media seems to only have talked about the initial intention to spam attack and then talk about nodes and how centralized they are based on Bitpico tweet about their nodes being banned!!! but i can't find what happened to the blocks.
like for example what was this 6MB block that took nodes 40+GB RAM to verify?

It would appear the attack failed, the reason given (as you mentioned) was their 800 nodes were banned from the network, which can be seen as an act of centralization. Blocks don't seem to be of any size out of the ordinary, at an average of 70-80 kb (pretty miniscule). Still, the network remains in tact.
Regardless, this coin is a joke led by mass deception, and after what Roger did with bitcoin.com it should be evident to anybody capable of critical thought that he's something of a greed-driven, egotistical madman.
