Attacks come in waves.

Attacks come in waves.

Let's think how we can defend the 2 pronged attack:

1. The "spam" attack can be made more expensive for the attacker by slowly increasing the block size. There are nuanced trade-offs to this, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks, rn. That's a longer conversation.

2. The psychological attack is harder one to beat off. Because that can get people on the inside and outside with specious arguments (as we saw in the summer). There is a simplistic defense to this, and that is: adversarial thinking. Verify dont trust. A spam bomb is assumed to be malicious until we can prove otherwise.
