Thanks for creating this page, but it looks like it should just be a redirect to https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Scalability&redirect=no#Simplified_payment_verification - Mesh

Didn't see this comment before adding my own contributions. Agreed this page should be deleted or merged with Thin Client Security. It looks like the author wanted to add a link to his own blogspam. Note that the phrase SPV is ambiguous, it was used in the whitepaper to mean a security model involving fraud proofs but later wallets like BitcoinJ implemented something similar which was much more insecure due to no fraud proofs. My view is we shouldn't use the phrase SPV at all. Belcher (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
