blockstream wanting to cause drama to make UASF look like its needed
I think that Gregory Maxwell (Blockstream CTO) opposes BIP 148. You should probably do your research before you start throwing shit around.

Boom!.... enter the BU pumpers and spoils a good discussion again.  Roll Eyes ...... Bitcoin being pseudo anonymous, makes things difficult for people

to pinpoint who are behind these attacks. We might even have someone without "hidden" agendas doing this. There have been companies doing

tests on the Blockchain for other projects not related to the BU vs BTC Core fight and these tests were causing spam.  Tongue

I sent during that time and it took literally 5 - 6 hours to complete a 0.005btc send.
That was so bad for the blockchain and it was with a 0.0006btc transaction fee.
Was expecting it within the hour at the very least. But that was unacceptable at any rate.

Meanwhile bad miners keep blocking progress (segwit + LN, in order to allow for mainstream bitcoin usage).
Don't know hidden motivation all those attackers/miners have to block segwit and LN. This debate has been really bullshit this days, this spam attacks is causing lots of loss for bitcoin users in fee and time.

Are the bad miners handling only those transactions with high fees?
I would want to say yes, and chances are, yes they are, but for right now I'll give them a bit more respect and say they're just confirming whatever the blockchain gives them, even though we both know that's probably not true.

High fees give it a higher likelihood to be confirmed for obvious reasons, so take that as you may.

spam or not, raise the blocksize dummy.  That's the only option.

blocksize increase without segwit is stupid dummy

unless you have read the code for segwit FULLY. and understand how it functions FULLY. and run scenarios. without just "i trust blockstream". then please spend more time learning and less time with empty arguments/insults to people.

you would laugh at yourself if you actually went and looked passed the 20 second reddit sales pitches and really had a critical look at the code.

june/july 2016 mempool bump = blockstream wanting to cause drama to make CSV look like its needed

october 2016+ mempool longer bump = blockstream wanting to cause drama to make segwit look like its needed

april 2017+ mempool bump = blockstream wanting to cause drama to make UASF look like its needed

all mempool drama occurs when blockstream need to make people react and get frustrated that old code doesnt work.

..

meanwhile other implementations with no deadlines no threats no mallice no Nuke pool blackmails, simply plod along and have no reason to cause mempool bloat at specific times.

the specific timing of the mempool bloat is very revealing

Spam attack causes another 60k fake pump in unconfirmed transactions to keep pumping whatever trash narrative the attacker wants to push.

Meanwhile bad miners keep blocking progress (segwit + LN, in order to allow for mainstream bitcoin usage).

Sad!!
