nao, msg only held up if a) a chain precedent missing, and we getdata'd for it, ~1s b) hearsay arrives with bounce > alltime_minimum(speaker) -- give time for immed/lower-bounce to arrive |

all other valid msgs go straight on |
| 13:08 |

oughta make for 'over9000x' faster propagation of broadcasts, vs. the earlier practice of sitting on erry hearsay |
| 13:09 |

( if bounce <= alltime_min(speaker), add its hash to the in-mem dedupe cache, any further dupe of it is insta-dropped, and send it on its way ) |

if there's one thing that can be relied upon, it's that everything that is not a banker will be sacrificed first. |
