May was the peak of controversy, arguments and discussions about future of scaling bitcoin. core vs unlimited node count, miner support, vendor/merchant support - nobody knew how would things turn out.
throughout that time one of main arguments was that blocks were full and mempool (unconfirmed transactions) was gigantic.
the moment camps settled on agreeing to disagree - mempool was gone.
feel free to continue pretending this all was simply a coincidence.
The specific claim was that it was from "Roger Ver and his cronies," not that a mempool backlog exists.
Show the transactions you claim to be "spam," and identify the persons behind them. Go do it.
Show the damned transactions.

The claim was very specific, show the damned transactions.
>i don't really care that i can't convince you
Because you can't show what the "spam" is let alone show who is "spamming."
But as keymone said, the timeline of events is fishy. How come they stop when the block size debate does, or Roger uses them as examples in post after post of why Core needed to be replaced because of this huge backlog. When, you can look at the transactions yourself, most are dust, and they peak when the debate does.
I can't prove it, sure. But myself and many others think this because it is logical, and it sounds like there is no changing your mind so we'll stop here.
