If users added a signal to OP_RETURN, might it be possible to tag all
validated input addresses with that signal.
Then a node can activate a new feature after the percentage of tagged input
addresses reaches a certain level within a certain period of time?
This could be used in addition to a flag

Maybe a variant of Keccak where the size of the sponge is increased along

I came across O(N) behavior of two scripting opcodes, OP_IF and OP_ROLL. By
exploiting edge cases for each of these two sub-optimal algorithms, I
manage to simulate a Segwit block that takes up to 5.6 seconds to verify on
a Ubuntu VM running on a single Core i5 processor. The simulation is based

While I fully agree with the intent (increasing full nodes so a big
miner waking up in a bad mood can't threaten the world any longer every
day as it is now) I am not sure to get the interest of this proposal,
because:
- it's probably not a good idea to encourage the home users to run full
nodes,
Most people do not want to go out and buy new hardware to run a Bitcoin
node. The want to use the hardware that they already own, and usually that
hardware is going to have a non-generous amount of disk space. 500GB SSD
with no HDD is common in computers today.
But really, the best test is to go o
1TB HDD is now available for under $40 USD. How is the 100GB storage
requirement preventing anyone from setting up full nodes?
