Re: Next level Bitcoin stress test -- June 29-30 13:00 GMT 2015

because this is like waiting 1h for email delivery..

No, your "mail" is delivered. Its just not confirmed yet.

uhh ok, so the mail is delivered, but I'm unable to read to content and have to wait unknown time, because lot of guys sending mails.. (btw, yesterday I have to wait 5 hours and 28 minutes for first confirmation)

..if you don't feel this like a problem, believe or not, but it IS problem.

More like you can't prove who sent the email for unknown time. Which is actually true, since email is basically always insecure.

Right, but in this analogy, you can't reply or act on the information in the email until you figure that out (no spending coins that aren't confirmed yours yet).

Except Bitcoin does allow spending unconfirmed coins. Wink

Luke-Jr, you would know better than me, but if I see that there's a transaction on the network which spends coins to an address I control, then I guess you're pointing out that nothing stops me from sending out a transaction signed by that address which sends them elsewhere. Is that right?

But I know none of the wallets I've used allow this ("this will become spendable soon..."). And I'm surprised that a transaction referencing an output which isn't yet confirmed wouldn't be rejected as invalid.

Yes, and the coinomat people are starting to get infamous for this.
