Don't you guys realise that you are doing a better job at undermining peoples trust on Bitcoin by discussing this non-issue relentlessly than "mystery jerk miner" is by not including tx's on the blocks he mines?
If people's trust depends on us being hush-hush about
potential problems, even small ones like this, then the whole thing is hopeless.
In the long run open discourse and letting the light fall on every corner is much more trustworthy than trying to pretend it's a perfect system that will never need improvement.
, but whoever reads this thread and the other thread at the mining forum will read "
" and freak out.
I'm just waiting for some dumb reporter to pick this up and start writing how Bitcoin is controled by botnets who don't even process tx's and other lies...
