Again, I'm not talking about any changes to the protocol. The mining=20
mechanism in the Bitcoin protocol is the fallback method of resolving=20
fraud that isn't prevented or resolved via other mechanisms.

There are plenty of other ways economic actors resolve their=20
disagreements other than blockchain adjudication. Sometimes when both=20
parties are identified and reside in the same legal jurisdiction,=20
contract violations and fraud can be adjudicated in courts. In some=20
situations, the parties involved may have access to private dispute=20
resolution techniques.

Sometimes the stakeholders in the network act to preserve the long term=20
value of their investments, even if it means passing short-term profits.=20
The more of those stakeholders there are in Bitcoin, the more effective=20
it is to make the case for choices that are long-term beneficial.

The degree to which anyone should rely on a signed transaction as=20
assurance of future payment is not a question with a universal answer.=20
It depends on the particular details of the situation, and the parties=20
involved, and their own risk tolerances and time preferences. There's no=20
right answer for everyone, which is why "let's break zeroconf because=20
*I* don't think it's safe enough" is a kind of vandalism.
