So we are on the same line with the power the node runners should have over their mempool. I will definitively use the filters and try to get only transactions into my mempool, with the usecase of Bitcoin as money. I do not want to host jpgs, runes or dumb messages in the OP_RETURN field on my hard drive.
Are BRC-20-Token responsible for the UTXO bloat? What started 04-2023? I do not think that the issue of spam filling up the blockchain is massively overblown. The UTXO count doubled from Q2/23 to Q2/24! A part of the node's RAM has to be used for this non-monetary use of the blockchain.
