Did we spam bitcoin?

Braiins Pool has been mining blocks since 2010. Every once in a while we've used one to mark something worth remembering. That isn't new. Satoshi did it in block 0: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." And we've done it a few times since: **668,634** · Clubhouse 31/Jan/2021 I am a supporter of Bitcoin ... Elon Musk **671,176** · 18/Feb/2021 NASA Perseverance and Ingenuity landed on Mars **686,604** · Diario El Salvador 6/Jun/2021 Bitcoin tendra validez legal **785,389** · This block was mined by a zero emission bitcoin mining computer. **824,131** · Happy 15th birthday, Bitcoin! Then our CMO, Kristian, made one personal. **883,395** · Will you be my queen, Summer? Her answer: **885,166** · 883,395 - YES Congratulations, Kristian and Summer. Block 883,395 will always be one of our favorites 🧡

We don't care about your f***ing memories. We need a stronger move (hardfork?) to get rid of this shit or it will ruin everything. This is a very dangerous attack bc is not seen as an attack by many.

Care to explain how it'll "ruin everything". Seems like an overly dramatic statement but I don't know.

Uncontrollably is false. Blocks have a maximum size limit. Storage needed is 210.24GB (plus whatever is needed for chainstate and indexes) per year at most, filling every block to the brim, which does not happen, so the practical requirement will be less than that. Filling up blocks comes with real world cost - transaction fees. That's two restrictions to "uncontrollable" growth of the blockchain. I got a 16TB recertified HDD on ebay for storing replaceable crap for $440. Usable space is about 14.4TB and that's over 60 years of blockchain storage. "Uncontrollable growth" is a completely false narrative that only works on those who don't know the basics.

Suitcoiner’s got what they voted for. Have fun with your centralized cloud storage.
