Its an&#xA;&gt; extended version of the Greenaddress.it model.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;It makes unconfirmed transactions useless in the classical Bitcoin model.&#xA;Obviously if you introduce a trusted third party you can fix things, but&#xA;then you&#39;re back to having the disadvantages of centralised trust.&#xA;&#xA;If unconfirmed payments become flaky enough that people stop using them,&#xA;then a portion of the Bitcoin community will find workarounds like trusted&#xA;third parties, trusted hardware, whatever and will just struggle one. Other&#xA;people will look at the new tradeoffs/complexity, and decide that Bitcoin&#xA;is no longer better for them than banks.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150212/7f2331b5/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
