Subject: [bitcoindev] Network partition recovery

What work has been done on recovering from a network partition?

The day is fast approaching when Bitcoin could be split in two not by a purposeful fork, but because the Internet is split in two.

Have Bitcoiners gamed this out? What happens when the Internet reconnects? Do we throw out half of the transactions? Or is a merge possible? Can it be done automatically?
