Unfortunately you are quite wrong there. Pools can easily peer with each other with dedicated connections on fast servers to ensure that blocks propagate quickly to other pools and we can expect more of this in the future

So what?
Rich people, or exchange owners, can also easily "peer with each other".
That's not an argument - I'm all for people peering witch each other.

But I'm still waiting for the answer to my question: what is your business in promoting bitcoin banks to rule the protocol?

The guy who last week saved the Bitcoin network from an extremely serious DoS attack that could have easily taken down a large fraction of the network goes to the trouble of writing an intelligent and detailed response and you obviously don't even read it? Then you go off on conspiracy crap? Troll.

Peter: write up what exactly you did there, I'd love to hear the full story. I didn't realize you had written that patch as the main network was being attacked! I guess it would have had the effect of inoculating the whole network because the truncated messages would propagate faster than the non-truncated ones, clever!
