This isn't a good solution, though -- the vulnerability will still exist when the limit is lowered because someone will certainly be saving a bunch of Bitcoins.<br/><br/>A better solution would be to deprioritize transactions below 0.01 and completely drop them if there are more than 10,000 (or whatever) in the queue. Then these transactions would be slower and less reliable than other transactions, but they would work and not interfere with "real" transactions.</div> text/html
