OK. O() notation normally refers to computational complexity, but ... I still don't get it - the vast majority of users don't run relaying nodes that take part in gossiping. They run web or SPV wallets. And the nodes that do take part don't connect to every other node. It's a little scary, IMO,

I did misunderstand that. That changes things significantly. However, having paid is not the same as having had access to the input coins. What about shared wallets or coinjoin? Also, if I understand correctly, there is no commitment to anything you're trying to say about the sender? So once I

Would SPV wallets have to pay to connect to the network too? The cost to compute and deliver the requested data will be pushed to the users of that node. This is the same way all costs, fees, and taxes of any business are always paid by its customers. The Bitcoin Network will not thrive in a

Thanks Alex, the work you've pointed out is helpful. Limiting mempool size should at least prevent nodes from crashing. When I looked a few days ago I only found a few old PRs that seemed to have fallen by the wayside, so this new one is encouraging. I can respond in the PR comments if it's more

Just thinking off the top of my head here: What if SPV wallets were exempt from the fee? Only full nodes would pay other full nodes when initially sync'ing the blockchain. Then as long as you keep your full node running for a long period of time, you'll eventually make back the cost you paid to

Wasn't the XT hard fork proposed as a last resort, should the bitcoin-core maintainers simply refuse to lift the 1Mb limit? No one wants to go that route. An alternate hard-fork proposal like BIP100 that gets consensus, or a modified version of gavin's that ups the limit to 8Mb instead of 20Mb, or
