mircea_popescu: (the summary of the txn for the curious : 4223 bytes, 250000 fee, 28 inputs of which 17 = 1 satoshi, 2 outputs. none of this should be controversial. fix your implementations of bitcoin relay)
mircea_popescu intends to mine 1mb txn at some point, just for the fu factor.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field at least i didn't need a si fab for it eh.
mircea_popescu: suffice it to say, 4kb txn SHOULD NOT have any fucking problems.

mircea_popescu: and yes this must stay so. which is why my comment re you must think little of me above.
mircea_popescu: all the important bits we have are radioactive to them
mircea_popescu: for the same rason disinfo agent is stuck discussing "quiantum hjardening" and "cpu arch based attacks". ie, he is NOT ALLOWED to give even a single inch. which terribly boxes him in.
