Timestamping can easily be *more* vulnerable to malicious miners than financial applications for a number of reasons, including the fact that there's no financial feedback loop of miners destroying the value of the coins they produce - timestamping is a non-financial piggy-back application that doesn't directly interact with the Bitcoin economy, beyond a trival number of timestamp transactions. -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org
