Can we objectively measure (point in time) relay filter effectiveness? We can by looking at the friction a Tx/usecase faces getting into a block. Filtering on datacarrier (preventing OP_RETURNs from exceeding 83 bytes) lives in the [pink box] Sharing this as a discussion point. image

I wonder of min relay fee would be a good model to analyze. Most nodes filtered less than 1sat/vbyte, but from a bystander's view when fees dropped below that, it didn't seem like there was any trouble filling blocks with sub 1/sat/vbyte. How would you measure the friction?

You could push it more aggressively to 95–99%, but I figured 85% would serve as a starting point, since I didn't want the whole discussion to revolve around the arbitrary majority needed for a filter to be noticed.

Yes, I think it is a good way to visualize the concept. Thank you for creating it. Two thoguhts: I would suggest using a different label for the x-axis, perhaps something more specific like "monetary transaction fees," instead of "transaction use case." I also think that without filters, monetary txs can displace jpgs, which doesn't look like it is the case in this graph. Thanks again. Wdyt?

> I also think that without filters, monetary txs can displace jpgs, which doesn't look like it is the case in this graph. I would generally agree. The minimum demand/value of a monetary tx/usecase would need to be higher than the highest demand/value of a "jpeg" tx in order to have zero spam/jpegs in the next block. This isn't intuitively represented I suppose for the graph (based on the x axis as you point out), but it's how I intended this to be interpreted.
