Requiring at least 1&#xA;&gt;&gt; satoshi per output doesn&#39;t really do much against a spam attack to the&#xA;&gt;&gt; utxo, but I think it would be slightly better than the current&#xA;&gt;&gt; situation.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Is there any reason or use case to keep allowing spendable outputs&#xA;&gt;&gt; with null amounts in them?&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; If not, I&#39;m happy to create a BIP with its code, this should be simple.&#xA;&gt;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt;&gt; bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt;&gt; https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt; https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;</html></oembed>
