Okey dokey... so how do fees work in Ethereum?

Or do you have some other clever distributed way of preventing flood-the-system-with-bogus-contracts DoS attacks?


Gavin, as far as I can tell there is no such thing as a bogus contract in Etherium. You pay a one-time fee to register a contract - setup an execution context for a script in the validation state of every node - but script representing that contract is not validated in any way. There's no way for a contract to be rejected, so there's no way to "DoS with bogus contracts".
