(comment) Operators face different class of challenges as the scale increases. For example... The BCH network's pre-eminent open indexer today is Fulcrum. It has not always been the case - we used to run st...

(comment) It's not a bad idea - but I think the main problem is: "who will fill the overdraft reserve in the first place?" If I have 0.5 BCH, given the choice there's no good reason I'll choose to put it into...

(comment) Did you sell to get the land, or did you manage to pay the guy with BCH? Big difference :)

(comment) You have a problem with people wanting BCH to moon?

(comment) Also note that if all one wants is "help miners sync their mempools, which would make blocks propagate faster making the network support larger blocks.", it does not need to touch consensus at all a...

(comment) There's a bunch of bad links here - do you have a link to your actual website?

(comment) Surprise! I actually read things! was enough to suddenly end our funding one month into an approved three month proposal. This is from your own linked article, dude. Is this one of those "I...

(comment) And it's not questionable that a node team hires someone fired by a competing cryptocurrency to attack fellow node teams developing useful things, without being accountable to any written budget?

(comment) George, it's not anyone else' fault that you can't read the BCHN proposal, which contains extensive sections about developing and deploying fundraising infrastructure. Please stop embarrassing yours...

(comment) Something very close to this is already in the works. Were it not for someone deciding to screw everyone up with the IFP bullshit and the rest of the ecosystem having to repel him and deal with disc...

(comment) Musig can indeed be tossed into a new transaction format, and I'd argue that together with Mitra that is the right way to go - in existing transactions, the hassle for some modest bandwidth and CPU...

(comment) In that case, there's even more reason economic nodes should adopt BCHN to avoid following the "activated" minority into oblivion. Anyone can technically "split" at any block, one cannot stop them,...

(comment) Rolling checkpoints has always raised the risk of splits even in the absence of any malintent. It was a tradeoff that trades the absolute ability to follow the longer chain some resilience against 5...

(comment) It's probably too early to write off the miners; the past couple weeks have seen a great outpour of support from miners, and even the pools are gradually waking up - it is an information problem, an...

@im_uname 4 years ago

(comment) Yes. A controversial soft fork is a de facto hashwar, which nobody really wants; the risk of that happening by accident or malice is much higher on a minority chain. Following longest chain has less...

(comment) I think I need to add something to this: Voting is cheap. Actual enforcement is expensive. It's, as you said, almost risk-free to "vote" one way or another on a minority chain; enforcing that dec...
