This brings up an additional point. If we're mutually trusting parties (or secured by some kind of external mechanism), and you've given me a payment which I haven't broadcast for confirmation— and later we make another transactions I should be able to offer you the original unconfirmed txn and ask if you'd instead be willing to write a replacement that combines both payments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: BUILD Helping you discover the best ways to construct your parallel projects. http://goparallel.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
