Certainly. Though given current P2P network node version distributions, it is increasing difficult to relay the older version of transaction, and will only become more so in the future. It also remains the case that merchants who accept zero confirmation transactions are likely already aware of the risk level, and make a business decision. One can see tiny digital downloads often at zero confirmation, but rarely a Porsche or house or bitcoin exchange deposit. -- Jeff Garzik Senior Software Engineer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
