My efforts on MinorFs2 have been stalled for a large period of time (resulting from the fact that I was writing it in Python and Google pulling the plug on its codesearch server showed me that Python was a language that I hadn't sufficiently mastered. Recently, after almost a year of reluctance at

I just finished the specs and design for MinorFs2. I hope its a good fit for bitcoin this way. http://minorfs.polacanthus.net/wiki/Minorfs2_id_service I think 'process-Chain granularity' or 'Worker granularity' might be suitable for bitcoin. But possibly a more course granularity level would be r

MinorFs sounds like an interesting concept and but wallet encryption (already being tested and close to release) is a simpler solution for end-users. Would MinorFs help securing the wallet on a server, maybe even a (insecure) VPS? Can it work without changes to Bitcoin? If not, what is the minima
