"Pay To Identity" — a proposed use of OP_CHECKDATASIG

Dr. Mark B. Lundeberg, 2018 September 6 bitcoincash:qqy9myvyt7qffgye5a2mn2vn8ry95qm6asy40ptgx2

A mechanism where a Bitcoin Cash payment is made to a personally identifying string (real name, email address, social media handle, etc.) instead of directly to a cryptographic key. The payment can only be claimed by the recipient if they generate a public key and get it certified by an identity verifier. This certification signature is confirmed in script via the new opcode OP_CHECKDATASIG.

Characteristics:

• Pay anyone, right now -- recipient doesn't need to have any cryptographic keys nor do they even need a phone/computer. (They only need these to claim the funds later.)

EIP-1559 transaction pool design improvement proposal

Author: Zsolt Felfoldi (zsfelfoldi@ethereum.org)

New difficulties introduced by EIP-1559

Transaction pools currently order transactions based on a single metric (gasPrice), fetching the highest elements when constructing a new block and discarding the lowest elements when the pool is full. With EIP-1559 transaction ordering becomes more difficult because the effective miner reward (MIN(tx.tip, tx.feeCap-headBlock.baseFee)) depends on the latest block's base fee. A new EIP-1559 compatible pool design suggested by this proposal and implemented in this pull request orders transactions primarily based on feeCap in the eviction queue while the current efferctive reward is used for block construction. This is a good first approach because inclusion chance correlates with feeCap on the low end. The only potential danger is that `feeCap

To install unbound you can use homebrew

$ brew install unbound ldns

Now we can edit the configuration file of unbound which by default is located in /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf:

O(1) Block Propagation

The problem

Bitcoin miners want their newly-found blocks to propagate across the network as quickly as possible, because every millisecond of delay increases the chances that another block, found at about the same time, wins the "block race."

// Usage:
//   Copy and paste all of this into a debug console window of the "Who is Hiring?" comment thread 
//   then use as follows:
//
//   query(term | [term, term, ...], term | [term, term, ...], ...)
// 
// When arguments are in an array then that means an "or" and when they are seperate that means "and"
//
// Term is of the format:
//    ((-)text/RegExp)  ( '-' means negation )
