All the Splinterlands transactions are just text stored to the chain. A Hive node does nothing else about them but store them.

Why is everyone suddenly so damn worried about "blockchain bloat now"? This is patently ridiculous. Isn't activity PRECISELY what we want here? The question is that if transactions are so damn expensive, then why are they not priced properly? Hive Power gives you a right to fill a certain proportion of a block for life. All the transaction costs are being paid by speculators or ONLY new users who buy the token. Without growth the system is FUCKED because no growth means NO MONEY. But growth also means more usage and more space on blocks used.

Is someone trying to bullshit someone or should Hive consider introducing transactions fees?
