Did you forget about the nodes? 1 GB blocks ?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Seriously, this stuff is just beyond your understanding, just stop it.  Cheesy

He seems to understand it better than you, and is more humble with what he claims to know too.  For example, you earlier claimed that the

"Bitcoin does not currently propagate blocks in their full size, only the tx hashes so your idea is not in touch with how Bitcoin network currently works."

which is clearly wrong; the Bitcoin P2P protocol supports the propagation of complete (non-encoded) blocks between nodes/miners.  

Let me rephrase it then:

Bitcoin, as it is implemented right now by most if not all miners, does not currently propagate blocks in their full size, only the tx hashes so your idea is not in touch with how Bitcoin network currently works.
