Pieter, you either misunderstood or misquoted Gavin here. The tradeoffs Gavin talks about are about trusting your own node or using a centralized system (as the two extremes in a spectrum). Your answer talks about something completely different. Not sure how your answer fits in this conversation, although, you do seem to use these misunderstandings often to push your own position in a way that to the naive reader it sounds like others agree with you. Please try to be more concise and on-topic. -- Thomas Zander _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
