I assume we can't enforce to miners rules about which tx will go in and which won't and therefore whether this will cause more or less double spends. I mean, you can try but I would rather have to option to pick an third party instant provider explicitly than enforce bigger rules on mining which would IMHO lead to implicit centralization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
