[Bitcoin-development] CAddrMan: Stochastic IP address manager

2012-01-29 Thread Pieter Wuille
Hello all, wanting to move to IPv6 support in the Satoshi bitcoin client somewhere in the future, the way IP addresses were managed is not really possible anymore. Right now, basically all addresses ever seen are kept - both on-disk and in-memory, and sorted on last-seen time with some randomizati

[Bitcoin-development] BIP 21 (modification BIP 20)

2012-01-29 Thread Amir Taaki
Matt Corallo posted a modification of BIP 20 in an earlier email and I asked him if he wanted to become the champion of that BIP he submitted. It is a modification of BIP 20 sans the alternative non-decimal number stuff. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021 Right now, I will ask the GUI client

I have to say, I agree with Luke here, this was Finalized a long time ago. The version that was agreed on can be seen at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021 Also see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6205.0 and Luke's three biased polls at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6206.0 htt

First and foremost, I consider this thread an utter waste of time. These matters were "finished" over a year ago, and there is no need to dig them up again just because there are numbers for BIPs now. I don't intend to continue this topic any further than necessary, since my time (and everyone e

2012-01-29 Thread Amir Taaki
Hi all, Luke Dashjr is telling me that BIP 20 was accepted as Final a year ago (before the BIP process existed). https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals I respectfully disagree. I find it nonsensical to have a BIP to have been accepted before the BIP process existed. My feeli

(oops sorry greg- replied to you by mistake) That address he gives is 77 characters/bytes (same thing). What I'm asking is how can it be so small. I know that it's encoding a script, but then I started trying to imagine what kind of script and to me it seems that 2 public keys are too large for
