No you can't spam it as easily with large data transactions, unless you are a high-powered miner.

But I agree you can't easily do 100Kb txs

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.

You mean it's harder to build them ? You can spend a week building them and spamming the network a single day
Or do you mean the validation ?

Ability to validate huge amount of transactions are very IMPORTANT for a world currency system, even thought these are standrand transactions.

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 !
replied 2054d
Software will improve.

BCH can focus on the primary use case of cash, while BSV needs to attend to that + file storage plus whatever Metanet requires.

BCH is moar about casino and trustless tokens / ICOs + changing and forking - so no future.

Let's see who wins the race, my money is on Bitcoin Cash BCH ;-)

replied 2054d
Huge OP_RETURN data transactions are not standard on BCH and do not propagate easily, hence one would have to approach a miner to help mine them.
replied 2054d
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).

I'm not saying it's impossible.
replied 2054d
Just that it's harder in terms of effort needed.
Nikamoto

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
replied 2054d
Ok, feel free to try that on Bitcoin Cash BCH.
I think you may find it harder / costlier than you imagine.

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

BU's Gigabit Testnet Initiative will aim to show 1000tx/s on BU client soon.

Previous stress tests by "Satoshi Shotgun" did highlight bottlenecks in BCH, many have seen improvements.
