Limiting spam (sha256)

Hi @Paul I was looking at Twitter and saw this interesting tweet:

Is this code included in your sha256 release or do you think it is possible to include it?

I’ll look at it to see, but the latest version that is going through the pipeline I have added new filters and defaults for blocking new spam mechanisms (copied from Plum, which is the fork of Knots behind cesspool.lol).

To clarify, I am considering Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots, and Plumb all as upstream projects for pulling in updates to each future version of Bitcoin Knots (SHA256) that goes through the pipeline. I am slightly less zealous than Plumb’s recommendations, since I also don’t want to prevent some important features of Lightning, and of course some updates are not portable to the SHA256 chain since they are built around forks that only exist on the BLAKE2b chain.
