Just by a little bit of grinding. Imagine that you are a miner, and you want to put things in order. Then, you sacrifice some bytes from your private key, to grind it, until you reach a proper value. For example: if some private key has 256 bits, then you can use 224 bits for data storage, and 32 bits for nonce grinding, to put things in order. And then, putting data is costly, because you have to literally mine them. However, reading data is easy, because you read a public key prefix, and you know, where it should be placed. For example: And then, by reading "0300", "0301", "0302", "0303", and finally "0204", you know, what is the order of the public keys. If signatures are weak, then public keys can be easily turned to the private keys, and then you can read the data. Of course. But it is possible. And if all chains will start putting protections, then at some point, spamming the MW chain will be profitable, if other ways of spamming will be even more difficult to launch. Or, spammers could always give up, if the barrier of knowledge, to make a spamming client, would be too high. But I think there is enough determination, that some people will always spam. Because if some altcoiners still cannot make a great chain, then at least they would try to harm others, because of their egos.
