Hi Gavin / Alan,

Agree that we would also need to consider these "half" transaction =
valid. At least for the time being up to the lock_time, and one could =
have an extra constrain - that the lock_time should be within e.g. =
30minutes that would avoid the will-never-be-completed cases.

My main concern when it comes to introducing other protocols is that =
they might never be standard (I think a great number of clients will =
emerge - and this would be a thing to compete on). If it is part of the =
p2p network it will be a seamless standard and easy for everyone to use, =
even across different clients. But I share your concern on the=20

I can, however, also understand your worries, and some other constraints =
should be introduced to ensure that not even short time spamming is =
possible...=20
