Oh yeah I was watching a bit of that last night! Gonna continue it today. I like Mechanic's nuanced take on stuff in this, and he makes his statements really clear.
I'm doing a sort of middleground. I'm running Knots and mining with Knots, and I'm running policies that filter out all the spam I can except allowing some OP_RETURN stuff, though requiring a reasonably high price multiplier on datacarrier data. I think that reserving OP_RETURN as a place but making it more difficult than monetary data will help reduce the bloat to noderunners and reduce spam, so long as other spam filters are MORE penalizing to spammers. My mempool is so clean right now!
