But it seems pointless for the official Bitcoin client to attempt to "legislate" <i>any</i> restrictions of this type when all miners have an interest in including any and all fee-carrying transactions. As long as these restrictions exist, miners are incentivized to:<br/>- Remove the restrictions to get more fees<br/>- Connect to as many peers as possible to get a higher chance of catching any non-standard transactions that would be produced, further increasing the load on those few nodes accepting incoming connections.<br/><br/>The restriction on relaying these transactions should be removed, at the very least.</div> text/html
