@BitcoinHelpDesk @BitseedOrg @jfeldis There is no programmatic way to only drop “spam” transactions and never drop “legit” transactions.
@BitcoinHelpDesk @BitseedOrg @jfeldis Expecting node operators to analyze each attack and adjust configurations is not a feasible solution.

10% of nodes knocked offline in past day; mempool size is over 1 GB. https://t.co/FxTUxq1yR2 https://t.co/1to7bRzxbV https://t.co/mAF9H1c8Je
My RAM-limited Bitnodes hardware was crashing during recent stress test; upgrading to Bitcoin XT 0.11B with mempool limiting prevents OOM.
