It will never be 100% solved due to CAP theorem.  There will always be a window of time where it could be applied, even if its short. 

With our consensus and ledger, a double spend is very difficult to do due to the logistics of catching the available window, and the costs associated with being in a position to actually influence one.  But, its still possible, just highly unlikely.





I'm not an expert by the language of John's Whitepaper he seems to think he has solved it.....not just made the likelihood of it happening negligible.

Are you saying John is wrong or that he never really technically said its '100% solved'

The title says it all. I'm curious, I read all the time how double spending is some big issue but there seems to be zero press attention to fact there is at the very least a credible claim its been solved by Vanilla Coin.

Try publishing in a peer reviewed journal, let the experts tear into the theory, and if it survives, generally that's the point the press will pick up on it.

Also, in case you haven't spotted this yet, the press LOVE a disaster, successes not so much.
