About the small number of bitcoin nodes:
Hi, I read the message that Mike Hearn sent to this mailing list some days
ago (2014-04-07 11:34:43) related to the number of bitcoin full nodes.
As an owner of two Bitcoin Nodes, one in my home computer and one in a
dedicated server, I believe I can contri
The problem with not involving any electronics is that somebody needs to
generate a recoverable private key that we have to trust haven't recovered
the private key.
The only plausible solution is multisignature P2SH addresses where you
trust several independent entities to not collude instead, whe
Thanks for all the feedback, and for everyone who read through the docs.
My BIP numbering was a blunder, and I have revised the numbering to be PCP-0
(Paper Currency Proposal Number 0) through PCP-4. I think I was brain-dead on
that, sorry, and I am now on PCP.
Please allow me to walk you
Erm, few things here.
- I can't see really how to embed electronics capable to run an SPV
client into printed paper. I know that passive NFC tags can be printed on
paper, but not actual chips and/or power modules. So we are talking about a
completely different things here.

Suggestion: maybe you want to write and post here a paragraph summarizing
the topic of your paper so people can know if they feel qualified and if
they need to review it from their interests.

Jerry, some feedback on generating space-efficient QR codes. QR codes
have 4 possible encodings, see "Storage":

The encoding you're proposing in BIP81 switches you to binary mode
without actually using all the bits. So you'll end up with bloaty QR
codes. One fi
Now you are talking about Trusted Platform Modules. Like smartcards,
actually. Devices that won't leak their keys but let the holder spend the
coins. It could even have it's own simple SPV wallet client to make it
easier to handle. And they'd use the attestation features provided by the
TPM to prov
Dear all,
I'd like to kindly ask, those of you that have a bit of spare time, to
take a look at a Bitcoin protocol specification I've written. It is still
in development and, as some of you have already indicated, needs
improvement. I'd be very thankful if some of you could take the
time to review
Yes, but it must not sacrifice usability. It's paper money, people are used
to it and they have rather high standard of expectations in this area. Any
usbility sacrifices in this area result into failure of the whole thing.
Best regards,

I had a long discussion recently with somebody who wants and has resources
to do exactly this - paper currency representing bitcoins. Yet we've been
thinking mostly about a centralized solution, where one party is producing
and maintaining paper currency, with bitcoins tied to each note verifiable
