LIVE w/ Francisco "Articmine" Cabanas at MoneroKon 2019! EPI #72
summary
Describes how Monero defends against spam by combining a dynamic block size (it rose to ~400 KB during the 2014 incident and can scale toward multi‑MB if needed) with an enforced minimum relay fee and long‑term median adjustments applied over 50k–100k block windows. Gives concrete tradeoffs: lower transaction volume because of a different codebase, past exploit used spam to enlarge blocks, and protocol changes (ring CT, increased mixing) are deployed and working to reduce attack incentives.
