Any transaction that is not made with the sole purpose of transferring bitcoin (and nothing else) is spam and should be prevented.
Are colored coins spam, in that case? Such transactions don't just transfer bitcoin solely. Is OP_RETURN spam since it creates another purpose for the transaction? What about transactions that create an output to the same destination as the input? In practice they don't move bitcoins at all, but the protocol understands this as transaction. Unless we count mining fees as part of the transaction, which in that case would make every Ordinal transaction a "real" one.
For the millionth time, every transaction byte should be seen as equal with any other given that it follows the protocol rules.
blackhatcoiner. you are just echoing your forum wife.. for once please try to have an opinion of your own
EG realise the very odd/rare opreturn tx over the first decade did not affect the network, it rarely happened it didnt cause fee attacks fee wars, nor clog up the blockchain to any large extent..
but this ordinals crap of v1 v2 v3 DO affect other users. do affect fees do affect the network
can you learn the difference between the scenarios
also opreturn ascii art was not trying to be a NFT
also opreturn junk data wasnt trying to be a ICO coin
its like the occasional random email about some promotion is ignorable. but when you receive many junk emails about the some SCAMMY promotion it becomes.... SPAM
get it yet
