Maybe not even using the existing p2p protocol; there could be a mining-only very-fast-block-propagation network separate from the existing p2p network. Combining your optimizations with "broadcast as many near-miss blocks as bandwidth will allow" on a mining backbone network should allow insanely fast propagation of most newly solved blocks. -- -- Gavin Andresen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
