Note there exist no\nVC-funded DDoS as a service companies operating openly.\n\nIt's also worth discussing ways to make the responsibilities of\nnetwork peers more explicit in the protocol, so that when an entity\ndecides to access the network for purposes other than for what full\nnode operators made connection slots available that behavior will be a\nmore obvious violation of various anti-hacking laws.\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\n\niQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVA0IFAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjp0IP+wVsW69xOpFIX4yRTHrEQYh7\nMCPM7OTkIay/O13TSewbxTRPww9Z6vOpmrDkFlWGYKyrLWyqUGwcKqOscE8r3P3U\nxdV5ACppol5HXra/bykxuaXJWF/yTM7PybFNQ2Ary0X41CFrOUITsO8SwWDl8jBu\nGtRgbWdALA6IQeeRLVQmMo3zC/uShOplOh/HrS2z9ZtXSm3rNkLzhnUWfznbixb0\n9C1yvIM5VOwoNcRKt7uoX6cl4mFsBO3Gfjz4rr5gABerTltBlRk4c3jnUDUlQiFC\ncppX9eaEYMLR7y0gHWnmzWcFW7LFwMR2isyJ79O2cpUpYNzbfp0fWetM1WVAMFSK\n7hyUlwVx4WgaVRT5hDb6QPHHvzCYjYq+19+9/uChh9P3s3QkKuFJUVYwHQ+wnruK\nhPS3/vb7Tmt1eLTUeno4RRyJJ7likHsNA2bxWSG9rDezTownkSVZe2BQh3GIZOBg\nH8Nu2IDWK4pHJaCiswW4jfDsucuYiP7978p8ZFbZbymeflsXz1qyUHSVm9kngfZn\nsYUK4rgRsdrPpong0nqlmWcQW3VgmNO1tw5gmUqWTxQLnrCxgqnSdT7srzAw1ZaS\nYIAaB1rBy8k7QyDCOyIsIV+n1H26ZBa8PrqdRExlz6PuWcywjuEbcIfEl9QSURA+\npLuNJ+uQN+JBjKokmaSQ\n=ZO1/\n-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----\n-------------- next part --------------\nA non-text attachment was scrubbed...\nName: 0xEAD9E623.asc\nType: application/pgp-keys\nSize: 18381 bytes\nDesc: not available\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150313/0fe22b36/attachment.bin\u003e"}
