No. There is no such thing as "non-standard transactions" really; it is simply "transactions outside of the bounds that I as a user/miner will relay/accept". It is perfectly legitimate for other users/miners to relay/accept transactions more liberally. By penalising for transactions falling outside of your *personal policies*, you would end up banning many legitimate nodes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
