 but how does a relay deal with this? you didn't even think about that!

no, the relay just holds the connection open, pings and pongs, and ignores all inbound messages

that's the way that minimises traffic and computation

 you are closing the gate after the goats have escaped

the clients are gonna do dumb shit

don't expect goats to not be dumb

do what is required to minimise their damage

i can't believe what nonsense i'm reading

have you actually studied the bitcoin protocol? 

you know, this stuff is well and truly done and dusted, you aren't going to innovate

just like no shitcoin is gonna improve over bitcoin
