Hah, fair enough, there is no such thing as the "right" way to do
anything. But I still think punishing users who use SPV wallets is a
less-than-ideal way to incentive people to run full nodes. Right now SPV is
the best way that exists for mobile phones to participate in the network in
a decentralized way. This proposal makes the user experience for mobile
wallets a little more confusing and annoying.
