I think the misunderstanding was in perhaps my earlier statement seemed =
like I was suggesting that it=E2=80=99s the protocol=E2=80=99s =
responsibility to protect merchants from double-spends. On the contrary =
- I think we agree - the protocol CANNOT make any guarantees to ANYONE =
until we do converge on a history. The =E2=80=9Cdesign=E2=80=9D I speak =
of here is more on the merchant side.
