I agree with Peter, it seems like we don't need a dust limit with full blocks. And we should expect blocks to remain full indefinitely. However, if we were to still have a dust limit, it shouldn't be a simple constant. It should be determined by the mempool environment. Eg one could define the

It is possible, because you can find nodes that accept low-fee transactions. And on some statistics, for example https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,24h,weight,0 you can see that zero to one satoshi per virtual byte transactions could take more space than other transactions. You can be

I'm not suggesting to initiate it anytime soon. But suppose, let's take a situation where Bitcoin reaches and oscillates above 200k to 500k USD, then 1 sat/vB could be equivalent to 10 sat/vB of today, hampering the "dust requirement" (ignoring inflation). I discussed this on the Bitcoin subreddit

I think you misunderstood what I said. I did not say that it should be done now, for the obvious reasons that the miners won't be doing any good by such measures. But I am talking about when the price of BTC escalates to a point when 1sat/vB becomes expensive as a dust limit. If the price
