[bitcoin-dev] Decentralized Naming Protocol BIP

2021-04-21 Thread Christopher Gilliard via bitcoin-dev
I have created an additional BIP that is associated with the recent BIPs
that I have sent to the mailing list. This one defines a decentralized
naming protocol. The BIP can be found here:
https://github.com/cgilliard/bips/blob/naming/bip-.mediawiki

Please reply with any feedback, questions, or comments.

Regards,
Chris

Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIPs - notarization protocol and decentralized storage

2021-04-21 Thread Christopher Gilliard via bitcoin-dev
Thanks Prayank. I think the next step for both of these proposals is to
define an API. I thought about including that in the BIPs and decided it
wasn't necessary yet to get the ideas across initially. Maybe when the APIs
are defined they could go into the BIP, but it's probably better to have in
a different document. I also agree with you on Tor.

As far as whether this should be a BIP or not, I wondered that same
question. I think the BIP format is well defined and understood so I used
it for this and the other BIPs that I'm currently working on like the
incentivized moderation protocol which is mentioned in this BIP. There are
a number of "Application" BIPs, which is why I decided it made sense.
However, if it's decided there's a better format for these BIPs I'm open to
it.

Regards,
Chris

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Block weight penalty for UTXO set growth

2021-04-21 Thread Prayank via bitcoin-dev
Hello Yanmaani,

Incentives for UTXO consolidation already exists IMO.

1.If UTXO consolidation is done when fee rates are low (less congestion in 
mempool), it helps in saving money in lot of cases. Example: 
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/100811/
2.If running full node for Bitcoin, it will help in a smaller UTXO set.

In few cases it affects privacy though like post coinjoin.

TBH I couldn't understand everything you mentioned including the part in which 
fees decrease is mentioned because of smaller block. Fees should increase if 
such blocks are regularly mined and are predictable IMO. Not sure if everyone 
will agree to the other things mentioned in the proposal.

Hello Christopher,

Decentralized storage as an idea looks interesting. I am researching about 
similar things for one of my Bitcoin project. Although an implementation or 
proof of concept code in the BIP would have been better. Also since this 
involves LN, maybe it can just be a LN project instead of BIP? Not the best 
person to comment on what can be a BIP.

Few links that you may find interesting:

https://github.com/bkiac/tarnhelm

https://github.com/ElementsProject/filebazaar

The kind of decentralized storage that I think can be helpful for Bitcoin 
projects:

1.Uses torrents for files and communication required (with Tor)

2.Easy to use API to save, read, edit etc. something in a Bitcoin project using 
torrents. Only involve lightning network and payments when spamming can be an 
issue. For example: If a developer wants users to pay for every P2P offer they 
create using a DEX protocol.
