Mon Mar 07 22:53:35 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> and so no, one who things "well there's nodes, so it's a p2p network" is utterly flattering himself. no such thing in bitcoin. there's a supernode, and a bunch of whatevers.

Mon Mar 07 22:49:27 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform suppose there's nodes N1... Nn advertising themselves on the network. suppose you send txn X to all nodes Nk where k is divisible by 2, which has the properties that a) it would not be broadcast to any further nodes, and b) it would prevent transaction Y from being accepted in the mempool. suppose you verify that nodes Nk where k = 2i do not in fact advertise X. suppose you broadcast Y to nodes Nm where m
Mon Mar 07 22:49:27 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> =2i+1. suppose you verify that nodes Nm do not advertise Y. is this proof sufficient to you that nodes N1... Nn is a charade, and they are all node N ?

Mon Mar 07 22:43:19 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> hm ?
