If we're going to allow payments to fail without being broadcast (but where the wallet can't in general prove that the receiver hasn't seen the transaction) then I would argue that it becomes highly desirable that the wallet invalidates the transaction at the earliest opportunity by spending the outputs in a pay-to-self transaction. Otherwise malicious receivers, or temporary failures, could result in the user being told that the transfer didn't happen, but then the coins actually leaving the wallet anyway a short time later. roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
