This is an interesting level of logic I'm not sure I share. accelerationism always seemed nihilistic and naïve to me, and is potentially a cover for ones real motivations.
Quite frankly, I don't believe you.
You know this is a vulnerability, and you know how it can be used as one. So do I. The fact that we're not making a CVE out of this is because we're just dicking around hoping no one catches on to how it can be deployed maliciously, while also hoping our enemies don't have the balls to do it if they do know.
But murphy's law is a bitch.
Congrats on enabling the coming attack, I guess.

I gladly take full responsibility and 100% of the blame
or honor

you won't want to. there is no honor where I see this going, only shame and regret.

if you're using this service as a honey pot, then good on you. I hope you do. Also consider coding together a ordinals front runner application that allows end users to view unconfirmed jpegs in the mempool, copy them for their own inscription and select a higher transaction fee to front run the confirmation of the pending original inscription.

aaaahhh that's brilliant
I think I found my next project lol
Cringe take.

That's not how security works. That sounds a lot like "security by obscurity" which is heavily frowned upon in the itsec community (for good reasons).
I totally can understand why @super_testnet did this. I just don't agree it's a problem and see more risk in enabling censorship if we do something about this.
However, if inscriptions are really as bad as some think, bring it on. The earlier, the better. I think that's the same reasoning as @super_testnet has.
This post can be compared to LNsploit, I guess.

I don't disagree, but that's what I'm seeing how the collective is essentially treating this situation, otherwise they're entirely missing how this can be used as an attack.

In this case, I disagree. no one is ready for this kind of attack. many are in denial about it.
