Why couldn't you use a sufficiently large bloom filter to determine if a coin has been spent?

- thinkloop 9y agoHow do you verify the authenticity of the bloom filter?
- teddyh 9y agoThat’s not really a problem – anyone could verify it by downloading the full blockchain. The important thing is that you don’t need the full blockchain to get a negative answer from a bloom filter, which helps. The problem happens when you get a positive answer from the bloom filter; i.e. a coin might have been previously spent. As far as I know you then still need the full blockchain to verify.
