Surely if we tackle it on the UI side, we disincentivise posting to the chain.
I'd like to see a 'minimum transaction required to leave memo' slider bar in our wallets.
I'd crank mine up to 0.5 SBD/0.5 STEEM, as would almost everyone else. The spammers would stop sending even miniscule amounts, as it all adds up, particularly if only a tiny fraction of new users have yet to exercise their slider bar.
I'm not totally across the tech, but barring specific transactions from landing on chain sounds really problematic.

I think that would be really effective.
Want to spam me? Pay me.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Pay me?
Very good idea. However, memo spammers can resort to spamming in comments instead which costs them nothing. Back to square one.
Spammers prefer memospam because it's private. Once they spam in comments, the community and accounts like @steemcleaners and @spaminator will burn their reputation below zero.
It's easy to downvote them into invisibility that way.
Which is why they don't do it now.
True, plus it hurts their reputation 😀
@Drako i think this is a way more reasonable to all including new and small fish like me.
People can mark them as spammers and they can lose their reputaion
It is one great way I've seen games take care of spammers. Make it so they cant afford to spam 10,000 times a day. Eve online was always funny when you could set your own fee. The scammers never wanted to contact me lol.
Only issue is unless you add in a whitelist if you set the fee to high legit uses now can't afforded to carry out the action required. I'm sure some whales would just love to set it to a $500 for there time.
It would be nice if the issue just solved itself by people being education enough to not send the spammers money so they can keep operating. Make it not worth there time in cost due to losses or just not much income where they could be putting resources necessary to run it other places.
I'm sure they will just move to comment spam but at least then they can be swept up and nuked like the bugs they are in a microwave.
I'd like them to be able to set it at $500 too. I doubt there'd be many willing to pay that. Keep in mind it wouldn't stop the transactions from showing.
You could still send a whale 5 SBD (for a steem monsters card for example), it's just the memo field would be greyed out.
You could perhaps make an exception for people you're following.
"If I follow the sender, no minimum. If I don't, set the minimum at .1 SBD"
I'd love them to get a nice little red message "transactions rejected by receiver their minimum threshold of 500$ not met ;p
Sounds good to me.
Although, accounts sending to Bid-bots might not agree. Perhaps these services could cover the cost ;)
this is a very good idea. I am a newbie so couldnt talk in the other comments fearing i might anger a senior member and get punished with a negative vote. lol
If i got a slide bar i would make it a steem per advert in my dm. lol
Don't worry about flags, mate. Remember, we're in beta; the whole point of beta is that we test this stuff out and give feedback. You might accidentally say something silly (Lord knows I have), but as long as you're trying to be constructive and bring your manners, nobody of any weight is going to flag you.
sounds perfect , its a bingo from me !!
