User coordination of soft fork activation

User coordination of soft fork activation

Abstract

This document proposes a novel way to improve coordination of users who wish to activate a new soft fork in Bitcoin. The main idea is to use smart contracts to incentivize users to actually enforce the soft fork with lower risk of support being too low. At the same time the contract is in effect only if significant part of economy agrees to it. The contract also signals the intent to miners and other users in a way that would be otherwise expensive for sybil attackers. This proposal also suggests an interesting way to pay developers for the development of the soft fork code.

A protocol for efficient key signing party

Effiecient key signing party protocol

Disclaimer: this is a proof of concept, the protocol hasn't been reviewed yet! There might be undiscovered vulnerabilities!

However I tried hard to find any vulnerabilities and I don't know of any. I'm fairly confident the protocol is secure.

Declaration of maintenance

If you're reading this, it may mean you think my project is dead/unmaintained. Please read this before you dismiss it.

The short version is: please make sure to ask about a change you'd like before proceeding. It's likely I will reply an cooperate. A lack of updates often means that the code does what's intended.

Long verssion

So you see that there are no commits to my project for some time and maybe think it's not maintained. It's not that easy. Particularly in case of Rust crates. The primary reason for my project lacking changes is that I don't need the changes

xprop -spy -root -notype _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | sed -ue 's/^.*# //' -e 's/,.*$//' | while read id; do focused_vm="`xprop -notype -id $id _QUBES_VMNAME 2>/dev/null | cut -d '"' -f 2`"; test "$focused_vm" = "_QUBES_VMNAME: not found." && focused_vm=dom0; test -n "$focused_vm" && echo "`date +%s` $focused_vm"; done

mkchlog - a simple but flexible tool for generating changelogs, proposal

Mkchlog

Abstract

This is a proposal to develop a changelog generator tool more suitable for user-facing changelogs and based on experiences of existing projects. The rationale is provided to explain why this is better then existing alternatives. The foundational axioms are:

  • Git history is not suitable as changelog because some commits are not important.

My review of the Taproot pull request by Pieter Wuille

My review of the Taproot PR by Pieter Wuille

About

I have reviewed the Taproot PR and decided to write some notes. This is a combination of notes that may be useful for other (less experienced) reviewers to understand the code and possibly helpful for a bit wider technical audience to understand how Taproot works in better details. It's definitely not intended for general public.
