Ok, I'm going to separate terms: current-libconsensus from theoretical
future-libconsensus (implementing ALL consensus rules).

Hello all,
I'd like to disclose a vulnerability I discovered in September 2014,
which became unexploitable when BIP66's 95% threshold was reached
earlier this month.

Jorge,
We obviously disagree fundamentally on the role of societal adoption, in
the system that Satoshi designed.
Adoption is well ahead of Satoshi's schedule, and the measure of this is
the exchange rate. It is at once an imperfect measure, and one of the
most perfect markets that has ever
That's not what I said. We don't seem able to communicate with each other
efficiently, probably my fault since English is not my native language. But
I don't want to use more of my time (or yours) in this discussion, since
it's clearly unproductive.

The block size limit was put in place as an anti-DoS measure (monster blocks),
not "anti-spam". It was never intended to have any

Does it matter even in the slightest why the block size limit was put in
place? It does not. Bitcoin is a decentralized payment network, and the
relationship between utility (block size) and decentralization is
empirical. Why the 1MB limit was put in place at the time might be a
historically intere
I agree that the historical reasons are irrelevant from an engineering
perspective. But they still set a context for the discussion…and might help
shed some insight into the motivations behind some of the participants. It’s
also good to know these things to counter arguments that start with “But
