How can we work towards solving the double-spending problem?\n\nWe have this awesome technology that solves the double-spending\nproblem. It's called a blockchain. Of course, it only works when\ntransactions are actually in a block.\n\nThis issue is about double-spending preventing before they're\nconfirmed. This is (and has always been) just a best-effort mechanism\nin the network.\n\n\u003e 2.  Is it possible to \"scan\" for double-spending and correct it?\n\nThat is what is being proposed here, by introducing a mechanism where\nminers can vote to penalize other miners if they seem to allow (too\nmany?) double spends.\n\n\u003e 3.  Is the network at large not secure enough?\n\nNot very relevant.\n\n-- \nPieter"}
