That won't help SPV nodes, unfortunately. > If we did see that behavior, I bet it would be a good strategy for a big > hashrate miner to dedicate some of their hashrate to announcing invalid > weak blocks; if you can get your lazy competitors to mine it, then you > win.... We already see non-validating mining, but they do empty blocks. This just makes it more attractive in the future, since you can collect fees too. But I think it's clear we'll eventually need some UTXO commitment so full nodes can tell SPV nodes about bad blocks.
