Re: [bitcoin-dev] further test results for : "Datastream Compression of Blocks and Tx's"

Hi All, Here are some final results of testing with the reference implementation for compressing blocks and transactions. This implementation also concatenates blocks and transactions when possible so you'll see data sizes in the 1-2MB ranges. Results below show the time it takes to sync the

[bitcoin-dev] Use CPFP as consensus critical for Full-RBF

2015-11-28 Thread Vincent Truong via bitcoin-dev
(I haven't been following this development recently so apologies in advance if I've made assumptions about RBF) If you made CPFP consensus critical for all Full-RBF transactions, RBF should be safer to use. I see RBF as a necessity for users to fix mistakes (and not for transaction

It appears you're using the term "compression ratio" to mean "size reduction". A compression ratio is the ratio (compressed / uncompressed). A 1 kB file compressed with a 10% compression ratio would be 0.1 kB. It seems you're using (1 - compressed/uncompressed), meaning that the compressed file

yes, you're right, it's just the percentage compressed (size reduction) On 28/11/2015 4:30 PM, Jonathan Toomim wrote: > It appears you're using the term "compression ratio" to mean "size > reduction". A compression ratio is the ratio (compressed / > uncompressed). A 1 kB file compressed with a
