No you can't spam it as easily with large data transactions, unless you are a high-powered miner.
What's the difference between a 100kb tx and 500 txs of 200b ? Maybe it's a bit harder because you need to code to do 500txs quickly but I think it's the same
Non-OP_RETURN scripts cost more CPU cycles and memory, that's the main difference. After network stress succeed, we need to stress test other hardwares, i.e. CPU, memory, bus and etc.
I agree but that's not work that the spammer has to do, right ? (It was about BSV is easier to spam than bch) Hopefully software will improve and validation won't be an issue anymore !
That's part of the "harder", but my original point was also that because it's non-standard, there aren't any apps that can just do that in the hands of script kiddies.
And swiping a button 1400 times sounds a lot easier than swiping it 500,000 (although of course, one could outsource it to a click farm if determined).
You can program your computer to sign them all and he'll do that in few minutes (or more) I agree swiping 1400 is ridiculous but you can do without that. As you said it's just for fun
There are doing that for stress test I believe, they have programs and we get huge blocks But maybe you're right and it's hard to propagate lot of small txs instead of few big ones
