i actually removed this back in 2016 (see GiordanoBruno69/zclassic-103-master@df7549d and other commits), but it seems it got reinserted when ZCL re-forked the newer ZEC sapling upgrade back then to fix the Sprout security issues. this is the quickest way to neuter it without having to touch the rest of the code, we fully purge the unused code later on when also removing things like Onion V2 code (as we have Onion V3 now) note: the `ProcessAlert` return of `false` means the P2P handler in `main.cpp` will call `Misbehaving` for every alert message received. this is actually desireable... nodes trying to abuse the alert system will eventually get banned.

security issue: i actually removed this back in 2016 (see https://github.com/hairetikos/zclassic-103-master/commit/df7549d1e6f80e31b1bda2870d4cab6d6a49ffb6 and other commits), but it seems it got reinserted when ZCL re-forked the newer ZEC
Saplingupgrade back then to fix theSproutsecurity issues.this is the quickest way to disable the Alert System without having to touch the rest of the code:
(just return/return false immediately)
we can fully purge the unused code later on when also removing things like Onion V2 code (as we have Onion V3 now), and compiling with LTO can already remove dead code too.
note: the
