Re: [Bitcoin-development] Bitcoin Core 0.9rc1 release schedule
clarification, I am not a doge dev. It was intended just as a joke, to make you laugh. regarding pull requests improving these issues I am under the impression that the developers will take care of what needs to be taken care of in that regard. Am presently in collaboration on a bitcoin project that may implement aspects of the ABIS concept as presented, but it is in very very early stage(es). I hope you had a good laugh, that was my intent. good morning / afternoon / evening On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 9:11 AM, Odinn Cyberguerrilla odinn.cyberguerri...@riseup.net wrote: ABISprotocol hat: on regarding: stuff not getting into blockchain in a day's time, microdonations not facilitated as much as they could be, Please point to your pull requests improving these issues.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] unlinakble static address? spv-privacy (Re: Stealth Addresses)
Like any other mechanism that puts extra data in the blockchain, the sender pays the fees. This mechanism is to improve privacy for static addresses (donation links on websites and so on). I personally don't think it will be used nearly as much as BIP0032 or the payment protocol (both of which don't need on-blockchain data), precisely because it increases the fees required to send funds, but this doesn't externalize costs anymore than any other use of the blockchain does. People who don't care about privacy and want smallest cost and maximum convenience already use SPV nodes. Their resource usage will not be affected in the least.

I've heard people talk about ed25519, though I'm not sure it can be used for encryption. Doing ECDH with our curve is within a factor of ~2 of the fastest encryption available at this security level, AFAIK. And separate encryption would ~double the amount of data vs using the ephemeral key for derivation. Using another cryptosystem would mandate carry around additional code for a fast implementation of that cryptosystem, which wouldn't be fantastic. So I'm not sure much can be improved there. In the case where payment is being sent only to Q1, and Q2 is for discovery only, perhaps we could use a 160-bit curve for d2/Q2 and e/P resulting in 20 byte vs 32 bytes in the OP_RETURN, and of course faster multiplication. 80-bits of security I assume still greatly exceeds the actual level of privacy you get with the overall solution, and since Q2 is never protecting actual funds...

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Bitcoin Core 0.9rc1 release schedule
There's a reason why luke-jr's pull request for CPfP remains open. There is general agreement that it appears to be useful. CPfP works to close the mismatch between how bitcoin transaction fees are attached by the sender, versus modern economic situations where the receiver is willing to pay a fee.
