I don't support this, unless all other chain-forking-needed changes are made at the same time. I do point out that changing the time rules *does not help*. > Not for his reasons (I don't give a crap about the burden on _one_ pool > operator— the rest cope with bitcoind scaling fine without excessive > dependance on ntime rolling), The rest don't generate rewards immediately as the same block being mined. They either eat the loss of invalid blocks, or wait for 100+ confirmations before paying. Also, restricting the time rules basically breaks miners without rollntime support (such as Phoenix). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
