Even with that, the miner cannot tell, his only safe option is to include no transactions at all. Consider a malicious miner can concurrently flood all other miners with orthogonal double spends (which he doesn't mine himself). These other miners will all be spending some amount of their time mining on these transactions before realizing others consider them double-spends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
