Any collective group that has a majority of hashing power will have no major issues running enough nodes that follow their rules to make SPV insecure anyway. There's no good reason not to have SPV security nodes distribute block chain data, particularly block headers. It helps provide redundancy in the network topology and helps provide more resources for full nodes to sync up faster. For instance in a network with a large number of partial UTXO set nodes if those nodes are forwarding block data to each other they can get enough data to become fully fledged full nodes without putting all the load on the existing full nodes. This is a good thing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1 iQFQBAEBCgA6BQJTRYdYMxxQZXRlciBUb2RkIChsb3cgc2VjdXJpdHkga2V5KSA8 cGV0ZUBwZXRlcnRvZGQub3JnPgAKCRAZnIM7qOfwhdwRB/46MAw7OHwnVkLHOD0g Y4X6p1/QHgRisJIgpG2Y4nGVeAjOFleQWe4PWS4Wwdr4u0BDGPmJompiR3A99CaL MUPnxJhtdiUsomn6kI704f5pkrqslQGLzejWFb7/9WuQtvGm8RwnzIs7uAqKasni KJMn3jmqFIUcCEy9dePUdmMySCQj8qSxjGDdwZnwf8BZSdSLqd8dYiN0jQi/aA1I 2hWWyyDK9V9yQ8peAg+1dfg754Tc76lj3mEQOD39Wu3Klb9mBF3+wQCW2tJYEj2E stzeOdFZsUNUIOKFb6mo0IoUipPOvrAkfm91ais+FIwlCf+k5KcwmAUXpV45rLHm egCr =2vMf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
