Nuking signatures on old tips may lead to not trusting valid data #15

Open richo opened 11 years ago

richo commented 11 years ago

The existing procedure to walk the tree of any new tips and nuke any tips found would lead to not trusting the tip when it's passed on for the case:

A - B - C - D - E

Where user1 has B to start and user2 has E, if user1 trusts the signature on D but not E, user1 would stay at B.
