Assunto: Re: [Libbitcoin] ignore spam transactions

Hi Amir,

I remind you that adding the unconfirmed inputs was due to my request on
email from 15.1.2014:
[Libbitcoin] sx get-utxo without pending

my question from that email was:
Is there a way to either ask for utxo without pending outputs, or get an
unconfirmed raw transaction?

You chose at first to enable the retrieval of the unconfirmed new
transactions (mempool), and now you reverted that change. That's fine
and probably the right thing to do. Is there a way to ask for utxo
without pending outputs then? (I don't want to to try and spend
unconfirmed outputs that may soon change due to the malleability issue).

As for the HashCanonicalPushes - it is part of fighting the
malleability. Just grep on "push" at:
