1 2013-03-06 00:00:19 <DBordello> Although not a great solution, it does work very well
2 2013-03-06 00:00:28 <petertodd> gmaxwell: The wallet will happily contain transactions that don't make it to the mempool, e.g. nLockTime
3 2013-03-06 00:00:31 <sipa> i'm sure it works; it just doesn't scale
4 2013-03-06 00:01:06 <sipa> and it will prevent you from pruning one day
5 2013-03-06 00:01:10 <gmaxwell> as an example of how well it doesn't work, it means you can't run a pruned node, and even on 0.8 prevents you from enjoying an 800MB and growing disk space (and IO) savings.
6 2013-03-06 00:01:35 <DBordello> 1GB of space is not a big concern
7 2013-03-06 00:01:38 <sipa> perhaps we should just implement pruning, so people have a reason to disable txindex and services that rely on it
8 2013-03-06 00:01:55 <DBordello> Especially versus allowing us to accept zero-confirmation transactions from trusted sources
9 2013-03-06 00:02:04 <gmaxwell> DBordello: sure sure, but it's 1GB today, it will grow linearly.
10 2013-03-06 00:02:09 <gwillen> gmaxwell, sipa: Tell me your opinions about green addresses :-)
11 2013-03-06 00:02:31 <DBordello> gmaxwell, understood. The cost of doing business
12 2013-03-06 00:02:32 <sipa> gwillen: abuse of the blockchain as a communication channel between sender and receiver
13 2013-03-06 00:02:55 <sipa> and decreasing privacy
