Integration Test - DDOS Try Many Small Miners #5131

Open ASuciuX opened 2 months ago

ASuciuX commented 2 months ago

Could a lot of small miners, each spending 0.1$ worth of BTC per block, do anything malicious to congest the communication/network? All of them submit valid transactions (valid blocks etc.) but they submit them as many times as they can in order to create a lot of noise. All of them are run by the same bad actor.

Question: Any node could write messages to the StackerDB (miner/follower) ? What are the limits? Kind of related to https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/issues/5122

Question: Can we make stackerdb "grow" via cheap transactions? (on bitcoin ~or stacks~)
