Could just make a config option to fully customize your subVer and anything else that identifies the node and have it spit out something that will not undergo this abuse. It would also make it impossible to get statistics on what node software people run, but i don't think that is really all that important?

Be careful out there... The bad actors are now attacking individual Knots nodes. If you have data limits, pay a visit to the maxuploadtarget option (in the GUI under Options -> Network tab -> Try to keep upload traffic under ____ MiB per day - only in Knots)

A practical question: is there a website showing live and historical data on the rates at which various kinds of transactions (op_return>80 bytes) are being mined into blocks, with a breakdown of whether they were in mempool(s) first? I'd be interested in seeing real numbers on if these rates are changing recently

I think I may have been attacked. My Internet has been super slow like crazy slow and it changed back to normal today. I run knots on my node and use Comcast 🤔
Will be available in the next release. In the meantime, I wouldn't worry too much abaout it. These guys are just talkers
