There are a few ways: here is my favorite (for the moment). 1. Spam the 8mb blocks with 1 Satoshi outputs to the brainwallet 'BitcoinXT' 2. Let these spam tx be in BitcoinXT, however not Bitcoin (easily done). 3. Let the forked XT client includes a unspent dust output with any transaction. Let the this client create 100 dust outputs for other people to use in the same transaction. This transaction will only be possible to confirm with Bitcoin XT. - Leaving your Bitcoin coins untouched. I particularly like this approach, as it is ironic as the spam is more cheaply done with larger blocks. Cam. A quick political note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstentionism Hard forks are not something that is a democratic process. Thus frustrating a false-democratic process is completely legitimate.
