Topic: Are blocks really full? (let's have a serious discussion) - page 2. (Read 1007 times)
No, they are being spammed by miners in the antpool who support Bitcoin Unlimited and they are being paid by Roger Ver (owner of bitcoin.com/bitcoin's angel of death) and Jihan Wu. (bitmain ceo) Those 2 are the ISIS of the bitcoin world. They are malicious to bitcoin.
even if you take away the obvious 'respend every block' tx's
there is still an underlying demand of mempool that has for the majority been over the 1mb capacity.
even funnier and most revealing.

look at the spikes in june/july of 2016
then how more frequent escalated of spikes from october/november 2016 onwards.
then wonder what 2 events would warrant making the community think something needs to be RUSHED due to spam.
oh yea the core updates.. (june/july CSV) (october/november segwit)

I am not seeing anybody talking about this topic around these parts so let me start.
We have all seen the spam attacks, the huge backlog (100k txs), transactions being sent from one key to same destination with seconds apart and paying small to high fees just to fill the memory pool, transactions using multi-sig and lots of inputs to increase the size of tx (in bytes) to fill the blocks, ...
the problem is, you can't tell which transaction is legit and which is spam attack because how bitcoin works.
looking at this small group of examples: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mother-of-all-spam-attacks-on-bitcoin-network-proof-1776143
also seeing the latest block that was mined: https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000018d332fbb23692fe67dfb941607e870116e2c4edfae668e which contains lots of strange large value transactions (8 to 19BTC) all having 600 satoshi/byte
was the the last straw leading me to start this discussion.
so what does everyone think?
are the blocks we see full of real transactions or are they full of spam?
how much of it do you think is real and how much spam?
do you have any ideas to finding these transactions and possibly finding the source and hopefully finding the one(s) responsible?
