This. The idea that spammers are afraid to pay a negligible amount to spam a protocol is hilarious and stupid.

I think Semi choosing a fixed PoW 20 was to prove his point that people should just use paid relays and kill the discussion.

I find ideas about a fixed global PoW both hilarious and stupid but it’s a rookie mistake anyone can make.
