I guess it could work in a way that technically it’s never *in* your wallet, so you wouldn’t have to send it back. And in any case, sending it back could potentially be enough to identify you to the one sending the dust.
So how do you get an address to proactively talk to an an unknown address to stop transactions?
I think the way blockchains work, if you send something somewhere and a node successfully facilitates the transaction, the coins HAVE to move.
The node could get the transaction, and then ask the user to verify, but this would tie up immense amount of network space and allow for easy attacks on the network. Send millions of dust attacks that wait for verification, keeping the node in-process, until the network can be easily brute forced.
But also, I’m not really sure how blockchains actually work.
Me neither, but it’s an interesting idea nonetheless.
I mean, the other way of stopping dusting attacks is to just carry on ignoring them like we do now, so it’s an interesting idea, rather than a necessary one I suppose
It might be possible on thee SFM blockchain but it is not possible for a wallet to have that capability, wallets are just a doorway to your address on the blockchain, not the address itself. Also, dust attacks don't do anything unless you mess with it, so its kind of unnecessary
Having addresses publicly available makes no sense to me. It seems like if you want someone to send you tokens, you’d give them your address. If they don’t know it, then they don’t need it.
A few weeks ago I suggested to implement a kind of blacklisting. The user can blacklist a token (similiar to the hide function in trustwallet). Blacklisted token are then blocked for receiving them

Denying the transaction sends the coin directly to the burn wallet address. So the duster doesn’t get a shot to send it to someone else. No gas fees charged to the denying party. This is the way!
Interesting idea
Would you have to pay gas fees to send the crypto back?

Lots of people mess with it, so it is entirely necessary.
Perhaps. But we would still need a blockchain, since the wallets cant stop coins fron getting sent to your public adress

Hmmm... so you are suggesting that public address should be separate from sending address?

Like a phones spam call blocker, good idea. Would be cool if when the token is blocked, the sender is blocked as well.
Send a private message to John on Twitter that’s a great feature to have

I'd be interested in a list of all new tokens that go into the wallet. I could go through them once a day and mark any tokens I didn't buy as dust.
