Is anyone else worried by this pull request from Mike Hearn?

It's worth to read the entire discussion if you have time

Meh, Mike proposes terrible ideas all the time. Predictably it's getting shot down, and will probably sit there unmerged forever, just like his pull-req to turn the totally broken nSequence replacement back on. Heck, I'm only really replying because I'm quite fond of polishing my writing skills; it'd probably be more productive to get it merged and attack it later.

Speaking of, if you want to have some fun with dumb unauthenticated applications: https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/tree/bloom-data-hiding-attack
