https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=125.msg1149#msg1149 (a full year before your post, as someone else had already responded to you on Reddit; client mode was just what implementation inside Bitcoin was called) But this is silly. The only point I was making was that when you were referring to the limitations of BitcoinJ which would not generalize to not state it as a property of SPV I think it is preferable to make that decision,especially when it would not generalize to ones that implemented everything described in section 8, or even just more complete checks on the data they were already receiving. Who coined the tern is irrelevant to that (although you indisputably did not use even the abbreviation before others). Jtimon's later post on the misuse of fallacious arguments should have been enough that I shouldn't have to spell this out. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
