“If a spam transaction gets relayed by 90% of nodes, there’s a 90% chance it ends up in a block. If you cut that propagation down, you reduce its likelihood of making it on-chain and getting stored forever. It’s simple math and common sense”
I sort of take issue with this statement. The percentage of nodes relaying really has a marginal effect on it eventually getting into a block.
Miners peer with a large number of well connected nodes to get the txns to mine.
It’s almost a reverse type of graph of probability. Unless you have like 95+% of nodes running filters, the txns gonna make it to the miner and get mined.
If bitcoin is designed to escape the great firewall of china then it is designed to route around your filters.
