First, let me say that I absolutely do not want this feature documented for
end-users. I'm not sure how this could be explained in less a way so a user
could make an informed decision without using thousands of words (with a
thousand possibilities to misunderstand). So, yeah, either we enable this by
default in Tails, or we completely ignore it.
Second, now I understand this feature better, and I feel quite convinced that
it makes sense for Tails: we can take a selfish stance were we don't care about
the potential negative effects this can have on the network and blockchain
bloat; then only other drawback is potential increase of transaction fees, but
that seems like a negligible effect to me. So, I say: let's do it! If you want
to speed things up, please create a ticket about this, and assign it to me.
Mega bonus points if it contains a patch against
config/chroot_local-includes/etc/skel/.electrum/config. :)
Cheers!
That's great news! I created issue #12177 and I uploaded the replacement
config file.
