RE: HF20 Equilibrium Reached: Problem #1 - How To Deal With Wallet Spam?
Eh, you don't need to mess with RC for this. You just need a tweak on the interface: mute transfers.
Add a little arrow next to each transfer where you can choose to mute transfers for that user. And a couple of form boxes you can fill to mute/unmute users by inputting their username. This would stop them from appearing at the website's wallet.
But this should be done on the website's interface only! Anyone with the proper tool (maybe steemworld) or knowledge (CLI wallet or something) should be able to see every transfer as usual.
This means any newbie would easily access this feature, while veterans would still easily verify other people's transfers as necessary, all without changing the blockchain code at all.
First, I was going to suggest a new simple " Mute Transactions" button, next to MUTE (which I use every day) on the SPAMers front page.
But then I came to this great suggestion by @felipejoys. Mute the spaming TX memo on the web UI only. I would Let the spam'ers keep sending in their 0.001 SBD as long as it not disturbs me.
Or , we could go even one step further , if this SPAM is to harmfull to the network computational recources. After MUTE TX button is pressed, next to it a small entry window pops up, where everyone of us could set the minimum amount of SBD/ STEEM, below which all transactions would be completely refused to him, just if like my user ID does not existed at all. I would set it to 0,5 SBD, and totally forget about this spamer. i.e. all default 0.001 unconditional trannsactions remain possible, unless recipient has not set his personal higher threshold level to a particular sender. How does this sound ?
Thanks! Idk about the advanced config. If he's a spammer, then all he'll send you is spam, even if the transfer carries 0.5+ steem, right? The simpler the better, specially when the focus is giving zero visibility to the scammers.
If each msg will cost to Spamer 0.5 SBD, they will stop it in no time. 0.001 cost is the true reason why they are sending out Thousands and thousands of them
I like it, though any solution should have as few steps as possible. I personally don't see why when I mute someone from their page, that doesn't extend to the wallet.

That's true, the simpler the better.
@felipejoys,
This sounds like a quick and easy-to-implement solution. Simple but effective.

Thanks. Anti-scam cheers!
