There's a big overlap there. In both cases you are filling up bandwidth with the specific purpose of preventing other people using that bandwidth. It's basically the same thing with a different adjective (channel vs radio). I don't understand what you would see as problematic there.

But that's literally not what jamming is. The word "jamming" already is an attack in computer science/engineering: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_jamming

I think it's very confusing to give another unrelated attack in computer science the same name.

Oh, interesting, why do you say so? It "jams up" the channel in that there's no room for other payments. Seems like a decent name?

Thx. To my understanding this is a very bad name -  it has nothing to do with jamming.
