People who paid cents (satoshis) for their tx are now paying much more (x10-x100) for the same tx for no particular reason.
There
is a particular reason. Competition. It's a free market feature. Deal with it.
Cry all you want. Transactions are, by design, resilient to censorship.
I pointed out that in 2017 people were attacking core devs and anybody supporting SegWit trying to prevent it from happening and we didn't listen and pressed on.
Honestly but how relevant a transaction malleability and scalability proposal is, in comparison with banning a certain type of transaction because you don't want to pay more in mining fees? I can't think of one relevance.
I understand and aknlowledge you hhave a point on the free market for fees, however, I still argue that this thing is using the Bitcoin network only as a cloud storage for crap stuff. This is not what Bitcoin was intended for. Wy wouldn't they go for BCH or BSV networks? I'm honestly asking because I don't know if this is technically possible!
Anyway, I still think something should be done regarding this attacks despite the fact that people may see this as an oportunity to make the network even stronger and resilient!
