Nah don't make blocks 20mb, then you are slowing down block propagation and blowing out conf tikes as a result. Just decrease the time it takes to make a 1mb block, then you still see the same propagation times today and just increase the transaction throughput.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Reducing the block rate instead of increasing the maximum block size

2015-05-11 Thread Thy Shizzle
Yes This! So many people seem hung up on growing the block size! If gaining a higher tps throughput is the main aim, I think that this proposition to speed up block creation has merit! Yes it will lead to an increase in the block chain still due to 1mb ~1 minute instead of ~10 minute, but the

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Solution for Block Size Increase

Nicolas, can you think if there would be a problem with allowing blocks to be created faster instead of increasing block size? So say if difficulty was reduced to allow block creation every 2 minutes instead of 10 minutes, can you think of any bad outcome from this (I know this is different to

If the IP discovery is your main motivation, why don't you introduce some onion routing into transactions? That would solve this problem easily, of course there is an overhead which will slightly slow down the relay of transactions but not significantly, also make it an option not enforced, for

I don't believe that at all. Analyzing information publicly available is not illegal. Chainalysis or whatever you call it would be likened to observing who comes and feeds birds at the park everyday. You can sit in the park and observe who feeds the birds, just as you can connect to the Bitcoin

That's disappointing the Electrum 2.0 doesn't use BIP39. From my interpretation of BIP39, wordlists DO NOT REQUIRE to be fixed between wallet providers. There is some recommendations regarding the wordlists to help with things such as predictive text, so mobile apps can easily predict the word

Yes I agree with this sentiment. As for the version, don't forget we can kinda brute force our way to determine a version, because lets say there is 10 versions, we can generate the seed for all 10 versions and then check to see which seed was in use (has transacted) and then use that seed. If
