Re: [Bitcoin-development] Question regarding transactions with NLOCKTIME > 0

2015-06-21 Thread s7r
Hi I don't think that a transaction with nLockTime>0 will be accepted by nodes / relayed in the Bitcoin network, until its time expires (e.g. nLockTime==now). This means it obviously cannot be stored in a block, before its locktime expires. nLockTime is designed in a way that you, need to keep it

The mail list is public, so it's not like the data on it is somehow sensitive. Sourcefoge is fine, it has a nice web UI where you can browse the message and sort/order them as you want, etc. Why would you want to move to a paid solution? And why would you want users to have to pay per message? Thi

What is wrong with the man testing some ideas on his custom branch? This is how improvements come to life. I saw in the BIPs some really interesting ideas and nice brainstorming which came from Peter Todd. Now, my question, if replace by fee doesn't allow me to change the inputs or the outputs, I

Hello, How will this exactly be safe against: a) the malleability of the parent tx (2nd level malleability) b) replays If you strip just the scriptSig of the input(s), the txid(s) can still be mutated (with higher probability before it gets confirmed). If you strip both the scriptSig of the pare

Thank you all for your comments. The youtube video was indeed very educative and nice to watch. It's true that malleability is not the end of the world, but it is annoying for contracts and micropayment channels, especially refunds spending the fund tx before it is even in the blockchain, relying

Understood. That is unfortunate, but not the end of the world. If you could please give feedback also to these last comments / questions: How far are we at this moment from BIP62? Can an user send a non-malleable tx now, if enforces some additional rules? As for the security of the system, it doe

This should not be enforced by default. There are some use cases where address re-use is justified (a donation address spread on multiple static pages or even printed on papers/books?).
