The deterrent effect of raising the cost in this way outweighs the cost of storing unspendable utxos, in my opinion. True, unprunable spam is a worse kind, but you have to be quite motivated to do it thanks to its higher cost of production, and the result us much less spam overall. I think that&#39;s a good thing, it highlights the filters&#39; deterrent effect. But if we remove that, the effect reverses: we get less &#34;unprunable&#34; spam (yay!), but at the cost of having way more prunable spam, and that seems worse to me.</html></oembed>
