If you owned a shitcoin exchange and the threat was "We will make another shitcoin and market it for you" would you be worried about this threat?
It would be a threat when that coin will finally have no real value, which is why I am advocating for a blockchain reset, when the coins only matter for a few hours or days, there will be little to no value in it, so at least in "theory" nobody would want to buy and hodl them, because in a few hours or days they will be gone, people buy shitcoins hopping for their value to go up, knowing that their investment will go down the drain will most likely stop them from investing.
That would leave us only to those who would abuse testnet because "they can", you can't counter those with "resets" since they do not do it for money anyway, so there are other "social" measurements against them, but first, it only makes sense to get rid of those who do it for money.
This confuses me as well... the dude mining empty blocks is sending his coins "somewhere". If he was sending to an exchange... why wouldn't he want that transaction income to sell too? It's really weird. Testnet is weird. It is fun though.
The
asshole I investigated earlier who so happens to still control testnet4 does include transactions in his blocks.
