[bitcoin-dev] Bitcoin mining idea

2015-09-27 Thread Neil Haran via bitcoin-dev
Hi, I have an idea for a gamified bitcoin mining app that I'd like to partner with someone on that is very good with cryptography and knows the bitcoin code base well. I have received interest in this from some, but I'm looking for the ideal candidate to work with. If this is of interest, please

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Let's deploy BIP65 CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY!

Agree with all CLTV and nVersionBits points. We should deploy a lock-time soft-fork ASAP, using the tried and true IsSuperMajoirty test. However your information regarding BIPs 68 (sequence numbers), 112 (checksequenceverify) and 113 (median time past) is outdated. Debate regarding semantics has

2015-09-27 Thread Peter Todd via bitcoin-dev
Summary --- It's time to deploy BIP65 CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY. I've backported the CLTV op-code and a IsSuperMajority() soft-fork to the v0.10 and v0.11 branches, pull-reqs #6706 and #6707 respectively. A pull-req for git HEAD for the soft-fork deployment has been open since June 28th, #6351 -

+1 for deploying BIP65 immediately without further waiting. Agree with all Peter's points. If BIP65 has to follow the 0.12 schedule, it will take almost 9 months from now to complete the softfork. I don't see any good reason to wait for that long. We have too much talk, too little action.

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Weak block thoughts...

I was mansplaining weak blocks to my wife. She asked a simple question: Why would I, as a miner, publish a weak block if I find one? I don't know. Sure, I will get faster propagation for my solved block, should I find one. On the other hand everybody else mining a similar block will enjoy the
