According to @adam3us, a Bitcoin node verifies transactions and block validity and protects users from forks, but it cannot directly prevent spam transactions from being included in blocks.

He adds that only consensus validity rules can be enforced collectively across the network, whereas non-relaying spam at the node level has little effect unless the node is used for mining and chooses not to mine such transactions. Source: @adam3us on X, Oct 2, 2025. For traders relying on on-chain settlement, this means spam resistance depends on miner inclusion policies and consensus changes rather than individual node relay settings, so monitoring confirmation times and miner behavior is more actionable than tweaking relay policies.

According to @BitMEXResearch, Bitcoin transactions paying below 1 satoshi per vbyte do not price out legitimate payments because higher-fee transactions are prioritized for inclusion. Source: @BitMEXResearch. Bitcoin Core policy prioritizes transactions by feerate and enforces a typical minimum relay fee around 1 sat/vB, so sub-1 sat/vB traffic is generally not relayed or is deprioritized, limiting its impact on confirmation times and fee pressure for standard payments.

For traders, this indicates alleged low-fee spam should not materially elevate BTC on-chain fees or disrupt exchange deposits and withdrawals that use market-rate fees, reducing fee-driven latency risks in arbitrage and settlement workflows.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, a single bot sent nearly 11 million transactions on Solana in the past 30 days, with a 99.95% failure rate, enabled by the network’s low fees, source: @ItsDave_ADA. According to @ItsDave_ADA, failed transactions do not simply disappear, implying they still load the network and can distort surface-level activity metrics, source: @ItsDave_ADA. According to @ItsDave_ADA, traders should treat headline transaction counts with caution on Solana and monitor conditions like congestion and fee dynamics when evaluating SOL and on-chain execution quality, source: @ItsDave_ADA.
