As per Gavin at the top of the thread, the intent is to give the customer reassurance that their payment will be processed. The merchant trying to get the tx confirmed is presumably a part of that as it'd make no sense for a merchant to give that assurance and decide they don't care about the money. But nothing stops the user broadcasting the tx as well, once the receiver has given that assurance. --089e0102dc826710f004f13156dc Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
