None of those solutions are compatible with decentralized networks for a lot of reasons. Given the inability to prevent sybil attacks your suggestions lead to people being unfairly punished for poor connectivity that may be entirely out of their control. They also make maintaining a Bitcoin node and mining the blockchain require a significant amount of hands on maintenance, again incompatible with a decentralized system. --=20 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 00000000000000000a1fb2fd17f5d8735a8a0e7aae841c95a12e82b934c4ac92 --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGrBAEBCACVBQJU3QLJXhSAAAAAABUAQGJsb2NraGFzaEBiaXRjb2luLm9yZzAw MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwYTFmYjJmZDE3ZjVkODczNWE4YTBlN2FhZTg0MWM5NWEx MmU4MmI5MzRjNGFjOTIvFIAAAAAAFQARcGthLWFkZHJlc3NAZ251cGcub3JncGV0 ZUBwZXRlcnRvZC5vcmcACgkQJIFAPaXwkfsekQgAgVS24KqyBzxyRMpXo3A3jHHD pd2L1iWhK1mKE6XkhmepktiywVfxGwUW/7c6tZp6373f1EylEVDFU4iCMh1iLz5L UpM42R72esNC7XzxKu4vC1b/6p52LiW7KxlNULnQOcbIVF8sJnxnpKjhZ/8PxH3M TqTxPs/oo8fY19Svq4mJ5yPDnNM2Ur8gtr/pPjA8G0+4N5BCqawXFMtmCYwkQ1/o HXUr9EFXa1ZuoM4P9yJN+BpjrUvIekC1JyeRhzCfZkOL0pgqFJpFMwXDaOrXudyT WUfgZJQrd3DPq04Y3MTMFZta1wMHO4EkRrAvE6GHnQ70qf3NPapLPH1iTp27yw== =v8BQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU--
