šļø Summary of this message: Publicly available alias system may be vulnerable to DOS attack, as creation of new Bitcoin address requires retention of private key indefinitely.
š Original message:I believe it is also worth mentioning the possible susceptibility of a
DOS attack on a publicly available alias system. Assuming that an alias
lookup triggers the creation of a new Bitcoin address, the private key
would need to be retained indefinitely. If gone unnoticed, this could
consume considerable resources over time. Unlike system logs and such,
this is not something that can be so easily pruned.
