Re: [bitcoin-dev] Proposed Extensions to BIP 174 for Future Extensibility

2019-08-03 Thread Jonathan Underwood via bitcoin-dev
My two cents: 1. Reserved types are awesome. 2. Varint for type is awesome. 3. BIP174 should specify a specific type for all (global, input, and output) which means "see the BIP numbered in the next byte" so we can have some sort of BIP43-ish system for BIP174... POR COMMITMENT and my current sign

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Add a moving checkpoint to the Bitcoin protocol

2019-08-03 Thread Kenshiro [] via bitcoin-dev
Good point, for the moving checkpoint a number of blocks (or maybe a timestamp) could be enough, but for the block limit of X blocks to decide if the moving checkpoint is ignored or not, as we have to compare two chains (main chain and fork) maybe is much better to measure the blockchain lengths
