Better handling of spam transactions #518

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've seen several reports of SPV wallets getting flooded with spam. Here is an 
example:

https://plus.google.com/110550139834413570349/posts/KV1Z8eoVBRX

These transactions will never confirm. Also, they will never be purged from the 
wallet, although I'm pretty sure they are invalid. Currently the only way to 
get rid of them is resetting the block chain.

I'm not sure what options do SPV wallets have to prevent this kind of spam.
