You probably meant something else here, because everyone shares the same blockchain*. I guess you meant a SPV client, like Multibit.

yeah, thats the one.

cryptocoin, I have 'showdead' on and you're hellbanned. Welcome to HN!

I have no idea what that is but I will be glad to leave HN if that is the case, you're managing to do worse than bitcointalk.

You're no longer hellbanned.

We're not wanting you to leave, you're alerting you to the fact that the system has done this. Most of us commenting disagree with hellbanning.

@cryptocoin: being hellbanned means no one can reply to your posts, and very few people see them. This is usually caused by bad behaviour, but if you believe it's a mistake you should request an unban via email.

It's also caused by using Tor. (Any comments from new accounts posted via Tor are autokilled.)
