Re: bitcoin cash logo & branding

The OPs images had the B tilted the wrong way.

Here are 2 images for your Bitcoin Cash web icons, or click to pay Bitcoin Cash graphics. The links point to .svg format files so you can make modifications or resize them easily.

Re: If people are wondering why there are not more companies supporting big blocks, the recent smear campaign shows why.

Is this response a perfect example of the result of the misinformation campaign?

So you assume that businesses are for the Fork?

Being for big blocks and being for the Bitcoin Unlimited / hard fork proposal are two different things.

Increased transaction capacity should help businesses that ...

Re: Bitcrust: Fast parallel block validation without UTXO-Index

how does the spend tree differ from the blockchain itself?

It seems like this approach requires a lot more memory than the UTXO set approach for performance since it is holding a lot of unnecessary data (the spent records).... or another way of putting it is that if the UTXO set approach used the ...

BUIP024: Extension Blocks with Address Sharding

INTRODUCTION

If a hard fork becomes possible, we need technologies to be ready to take advantage of the opportunity. Today, the network is hobbled because every full node must receive and process every block and transaction. If M is the number of transactions, then every node's bandwidth, CPU and ...

@Andrew, thanks for all you are doing in the space...

So, I think we have a few core clients now; Bitcoin Core, BitcoinXT, Bitcore, LibBitcoin, BitcoinJ... is that about right? and so now we have Bitcoin Unlimited (thanks to you!!).

Re: I am Andrew Stone of Bitcoin Unlimited, AMA -- STARTS TUES DEC 8, 10AM



You can throw anything into the set of consensus rules but that does not mean it must or should be there. I believe that block size should be part of the network layer, not the consensus layer. In protocol design, there is a aphorism "Be lenient about what you accept, and careful about what you ...

Hi Andrew

Thanks for doing this.

Can you give some more detail, (preferably not too technical) on how the Unlimited client discourages large blocks. How does this incentive work in practice? There seems to be quite some talk of removing the block size limit altogether and leaving it to the free ...

Hi theZerg

I expect that those in the bitcoin network who will face attempt to lift or remove the block size limit will face a huge denial of service attack from different forces of destruction. That is what we saw happen in August to those who adopted Bitcoin CT. The attackers won that battle. My ...

Re: I am Andrew Stone of Bitcoin Unlimited, AMA -- STARTS TUES DEC 8, 10AM

Hi Andrew --

With unlimited block sizes, aren't you concerned that a few extra-large blocks will get included, that are near the threshold of what the network can currently tolerate? Wouldn't this put an undue strain on the network since all nodes would then have to "swallow" these lumps to even ...

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for doing the AMA and driving this initiative forward. Two questions:

Hello Andrew

I was re-reading Antifragile by iconoclast thinker Nassim Taleb recently. He writes "Never ask anyone for their opinion [...] Just ask them what they have -or don't have- in their portfolio" I have come to think it's a very relevant question and you can better weight people's opinions ...

Hello sir. Is it true that bitcoin unlimited came together in the bitco.in forums, specifically 'gold collapsing bitcoin up'?

Yes, BU ideas are the product of many individual contributions.

Re: I'm Gavin Andresen, Bitcoin geek. Ask me anything!

I see competing requirements for bitcoin full nodes. For example, Low latency for fast block propagation but bandwidth shaping for home nodes and xmit/recv capping for quantity limited plans. Yet these "limited" nodes can still be valuable. For example, they can easily service SPV wallet requests ...
