We have this awesome technology that solves the double-spending problem. It's called a blockchain. Of course, it only works when transactions are actually in a block. This issue is about double-spending preventing before they're confirmed. This is (and has always been) just a best-effort mechanism in the network. > 2. Is it possible to "scan" for double-spending and correct it? That is what is being proposed here, by introducing a mechanism where miners can vote to penalize other miners if they seem to allow (too many?) double spends. > 3. Is the network at large not secure enough? Not very relevant. -- Pieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
