If so, what about blockchain.info? It&#39;d be shooting&#xA;ourselves in the foot to try and forbid block explorers given how useful&#xA;they are.&#xA;&#xA;If someone non-maliciously runs some nodes with debug logging turned on,&#xA;and makes full system backups every night, and keeps those backups for&#xA;years, are they in violation of whatever pseudo-law is involved?&#xA;&#xA;I think it&#39;s a bit early to think about these things right now. Michael&#xA;Grønager and Jan Møller have been Bitcoin hackers for a long time. I&#39;d be&#xA;interested to know their thoughts on all of this.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150313/b0d0085a/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
