[bitcoin-dev] Separating mining from tx verification by enabling paying to valid POW header

2017-01-24 Thread Rune K. Svendsen via bitcoin-dev
As mining works now, miners have to verify all Bitcoin transactions in the blocks they mine, because they would otherwise risk producing an invalid block. This is problematic because many miners are Chinese, and thus have poor Internet connectivity, so it would be preferable to separate the task of

[bitcoin-dev] Simple tx ID malleability fix, opcode proposal: OP_TXHASHVERIFY

2016-09-17 Thread Rune K. Svendsen via bitcoin-dev
I would really like to be able to create transactions that are immune to transaction ID malleability now, so I have been thinking of the simplest solution possible, in order to get a BIP through without too much trouble. An opcode we could call OP_TXHASHVERIFY could be introduced. It would be defi

An honest miner is a miner that supports the network by building on top of the best valid chain. A malicious miner is one who wants to disrupt the Bitcoin network, not support it, for example by executing a 51% attack which mines empty blocks on top of the best chain. /Rune > Den 19/09/2015 k

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Off-chain transactions and miner fees

2015-08-09 Thread Rune K. Svendsen via bitcoin-dev
Nodes in the Lightning network earn fees that wouldn't be there if it weren't for the Lightning network. The base Bitcoin layer can't handle the transaction throughout that Lightning can, so the Lightning fees were never available to Bitcoin miners in the first place. What Lightning does is rai
