Title: Incentives Post by: CautiousFan on July 28, 2010, 06:13:02 PM What's my incentive for checking for doublespending? I know if everyone stopped the system fails, but, I'm best off if I can participate in the system while cheating by not performing this check since it consumes my resources. If I understand this correctly, the only thing currently preventing me form cheating (besides lack of technical skill) is my own internal since of fairness & social good. Is this correct?
