That would allow someone to maliciously DDOS the whole recovery process by sending tiny amounts at whatever interval to any account.

- GhostVII 7y agoYou could have some minimum amount, so you have to have $100 deposited in the last week, making it prohibitively expensive to DOS, but still work for accounts you are actively using. I don't think there would be much incentive to DOS someone anyways, you would have to know that they lost their password for it to be effective.
- rtkwe 7y agoMaybe that does limit the potential uses for accounts though. Long term cold wallets like exchanges wouldn't generally have lots of in and out flows for example or people using the coin in poor countries might never have a total in/out flow of $100 despite using a coin for most of their daily life.
