bakko ' s shield slam is a clear example of how the hitboxes right now are messed up <| sep |> If there is a box with all mirrors on the inside , light enters it , and it is perfectly sealed , then would the light bounce around inside for ever ? Or would all the light eventually be absorbed by the box as heat ? <| sep |> They say there ' s no such thing as bad publicity , but becoming a laughing stock until you slowly fall into irrelevance after twitch bans you certainly isn ' t good publicity . To fake that would just be the act of an idiot . <| sep |> Thank you for the reply Vitalik . There is a limit and there is an opportunity cost , but if the attacker only has the goal to sustain the flooding for a low or zero price , the block reward of 5 ETH could be enough to reach this goal of continously spamming the network ? EDIT would it make sense for the future to change the protocol and set a lower limit or simply 0 on the gas price in order to make this impossible ?
