Good morning list,

> I describe here an algorithm based on semispace GC, but the GC algorithm space is well-studied and other algorithms may also be devised (in particular, spam is likely to match quite well with "infant mortality" concept in GC, i.e. "most objects die young", so some kind of nursery / generational GC may work better against spam in practice).

This "nursery GC" variation would be very similar to these "pre-mempool" / "memswamp" proposals, as well:

* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14895#issuecomment-665975441
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14895#issuecomment-666267749

It may be better to continue thinking along those lines than to consider this GC concept.
