But they can be trivially generated on demand, and potentially result
in unbounded flooding.
Even if you carefully don't duplicate an announcement I can easily
generate an unlimited number of double-spends for the network to
flood. The normal anti-DDOS logic doesn't work because there can be no
additional proof-of-workish costs for the double spend (they'd share
whatever anti-ddos fees the first txn had).
This is somewhat soluble, I guess. Rather than NAK the transaction the
way it would work is propagating conflicts on each of the conflicted
inputs. "I've seen at least two transactions recently trying to spend
input X, here is proof: (two txn IDs)". Even if there are more spends
of that input you don't need to hear about them, knowing about two
spends of an input is enough to consider that input (and perhaps all
inputs with an identical script to that one) temporarily suspect.
Though it would have to be done input by input.
This might be an interesting feature if not for the fact that the
software already waits a fair number of confirms before considering
something confirmed. Of course, a sybil can just filter these messages
diminishing their usefulness.
I suppose I could add this as a (7) to this list:
