[bitcoin-dev] Requesting BIP assignment; Flexible Transactions.

2016-09-21 Thread adiabat via bitcoin-dev
Hi- One concern is that this doesn't seem compatible with Lightning as currently written. Most relevant is that non-cooperative channel close transactions in Lightning use OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY, which references the sequence field of the txin; if the txin doesn't have a sequence number,

>From my experience working with coin selection algorithms, there are three "goals" to it: 1. Minimize cost 2. Maximize privacy 3. Minimize UTXO footprint You can build a coin selection algorithm that achieves 1 and 3, but will sacrifice 2. If you want coin selectin to maximize your privacy, it

2016-09-21 Thread Murch via bitcoin-dev
Hi, I'm currently compiling my Master's thesis about Coin Selection and my presentation proposal to Scaling Bitcoin has been accepted. For my thesis, I have analyzed the Coin Selection problem, created a framework to simulate wallet behavior on basis of a sequence of payments, and have

Just glancing over your BIP, I wonder if we should use Protobuf. It uses this "flexible" format already and is quite compact/binary. We use Protobuf already for the payment protocol, and there is very good tool support. ___ bitcoin-dev mailing list
