Post about why ANCESTOR_LIMIT and DESCENDANT_LIMIT should be removed from ABC/BU - https://jasonc.me/blog/chained-0-conf-transactions-memo

This is how memo.cash is materially contributing to progress of bitcoin blockchain. I remember these rejected txs were due to high memo activity.

That chain is local to each user of memo, so it can happen to you only if you do more than 25 actions before a next block is minted, and you have only one UTXO at your address.

Considering the time to next block could be an hour or more sometimes, many of us can do 25 posts

You have 162 UTXO at your address. You can start 162 chains

also, I'm not arguing that this limit should be kept, I just tried to explain what the limit means for each user.
replied 2069d
Yes,, sure, was intending to support your point about the limits.
replied 2069d
MEMO has mentioned earlier that it is possible to circumvent the limit but that currently it would be an ugly solution.

By splitting the UTXOs, so that each user have several confirmed coins at the address. Or by warning the user "You are doing it too much. Slow down a bit' ;)

I can see how splitting the coin could be confusing for internet historians in the future.

Well written. The reasoning for why limits were imposed in the first place by the core is clear. Intent was to cripple bitcoin. Are there security issues when limits are removed?
replied 2069d
No security issues that I'm aware of. One comment mentioned it may have been added to protect against theorized flood type attacks between miners.
