Only verified and valid trandactions are forwarded which is desired as it costs the sender a fee if he attempts to spam, messages have no such penalty. Maybe require a proof-of-work then? kind of defeats the purpose of the alert if it takes a long time to issue one. I think leave the alert in, but relay alert messages even if they don't use the correct key. This means that if we later decide to add new keys to the alert root trust then older clients will still relay these. my .02btc Will I'm for keeping it in there as well, maybe even extend it with a mechanism to sign other certificates giving alternative client developers the ability to issue their own alerts. Think ssl certificates...

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Alert System
@Steve re Who knows, it might be the only way we'll ever hear from Satoshi again. That brings up a good point... Does anyone aside from Satoshi actually have the ability to send such an alert? Should we at the very least change the alert system to give such privileges to current devs and ensure that that if the missing Mr. Satoshi has had his key compromised we don't see an authoritative-looking alert come up from a malicious source? -- Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
