'Bitcoin creator': I do not have the courage

"On Monday, the BBC gave extensive coverage to Craig Wright's claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The following day, as many in the cryptographic community tore into his claims, he promised further "extraordinary proof".

But in the last 24 hours, he has first initiated an experiment designed to show that he does possess Satoshi's cryptographic keys, then done an about-turn with a blog saying he "does not have the courage" to carry this through.

I have always stressed that it was his endorsement by Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen from the Bitcoin Foundation that we found compelling. But now they - and I - have been involved in this failed experiment, which is bound to raise fresh doubts.

They sent me a draft blog in which he outlined a scheme that would see Matonis, Andresen and the BBC all send small amounts of Bitcoin to the address used in the first ever transaction. Then he would send it back, in what would be the first outgoing transactions from the block since January 2009

Eighteen hours later we are still waiting for the payments to be made - and now Wright's new blog says that is not going to happen.

I have relied throughout on the expertise of Matonis and Andresen. As of this moment, neither has withdrawn their original statements of support for Wright's case."

Sigo colgando documentos en la blockchain de textos, que creo que son importantes conservar por mucho tiempo.

Gavin Andresen acceso revocado en GitHub

"Aunque pueden ser una cierta verdad a las cuentas sociales de Gavin Andresen que están siendo hackeadas, bien podría ser otra táctica de uno de los miembros más destacados de Bitcoin para desacreditar la criptomoneda popular. En este punto, hay mucha especulación en curso. en este momento, no debe haber acusaciones ni acusaciones hasta que se revele la verdad ".


Cualquiera que sea la verdad, los miembros de Bitcoin Core han revocado el acceso de compromiso que Gavin Andresen tenía para este proyecto en GitHub. Hay una preocupación legítima por parte de otros desarrolladores de Bitcoin Core en cuanto a si Gavin se ha convertido o no en el blanco de un gran ataque, o si no, qué otra cosa podría estar sucediendo tras bambalinas.

Bitcoin Protocol Role Models

http://gavinandresen.ninja/bitcoin-protocol-role-models


A couple of months ago, I was having Yet Another Argument with a Bitcoin Core contributor about the one megabyte block size limit.

I had asked: “what other successful Internet protocols impose arbitrary limits on themselves similar to the one-megabyte limit?”

His answer was “there are limits on the size of the global routing table in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) protocol.”

BGP is the protocol routers use to decide what to do when they get a data packet bound for an IP address like “111.12.1.1” – they send it to China (111.12.1.1 belongs to the China Mobile Communications Corporation right now).

So I went and skimmed through the BGP protocol documents. Then read the wikipedia page on BGP. And had the opportunity to talk with Justin Newton, who participated in the debates on Internet scalability fifteen years ago.

And found that there are no protocol-level limits on the size of BGP routing tables. There is no place in any BGP specification I can find that says “Routing Tables Shall Be No More Than Eleven Gigabytes Big.”

BGP is interesting, because it is a completely different way of doing decentralized consensus than Bitcoin. Instead of proof-of-work, BGP’s consensus is built on real-world trust relationships between people operating the networks that make up the Internet. That works surprisingly well most of the time, especially considering the stunning lack of security in the BGP protocol.

There are limits on routing table sizes, but they are not top-down-specified-in-a-standards-document protocol limits. They are organic limits that arise from whatever hardware is available and from the (sometimes very contentious!) interaction of the engineers keeping the Internet backbone up and running.

I haven’t been able to find a widely-used Internet-scale protocol that arbitrarily limits itself. The closest I’ve found is the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) which has a SIZE header that a server can use to specify the maximum email message size it will accept. The arbitrary limit chosen by the SMTP designers is 99,999,999,999,999,999,999 bytes (just under 100 exabytes).

The HTTP 2.0 spec explicitly discusses denial-of-service attacks, but doesn’t impose hard limits: “An endpoint MAY treat activity that is suspicious as a connection error of type ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM” (I can’t help imagining the server as a California Surfer saying “enhance your calm, dude!)

That’s a well-designed spec. Trust that smart developers will fix scaling or denial-of-service issues as they arise– and, if for some unforeseen reason it turns out they can’t, trust that there will be either an amendment to the spec or a "best practices” document to fix the problem(s).

Will a 20MB max increase centralization? "I chose 20MB as a reasonable block size to target because 170 gigabytes per month comfortably fits into the typical 250-300 gigabytes per month data cap– so you can run a full node from home on a “pretty good” broadband plan." http://gavinandresen.ninja/does-more-transactions-necessarily-mean-more-centralized

[bitcoin-dev] What Lightning Is

While we're on the subject of payment hubs / lightning network...

I'd love to see somebody write up a higher-level description of what the
user experience is like, what communication happens underneath, and what
new pieces of infrastructure need to get built to make it all work.

A use-case to start with:

A customer starts with eleven on-chain bitcoin. They want to pay for a nice
cup of tea. Walk me through what happens before/during/after the
transaction, assuming I have a lightning-enabled wallet on my iPhone and
the tea shop has a lightning-enabled cash register.

Assume neither the customer nor the tea shop are technically sophisticated
-- assume the customer is using an SPV wallet and the tea shop is using a
service similar to Bitpay.

"Apenas con unos meses en el cargo principal de Bitcoin Core, el desarrollador participó en una conferencia de tecnologías emergentes, organizadas por la CIA.

Para él, esta invitación reflejaba el interés del gobierno en Bitcoin, y la consideró una oportunidad para demostrar que los principales objetivos de la criptomoneda creada por Nakamoto son compatibles con los objetivos del gobierno. ..."

From mid-2010 until April-2014, Gavin Andresen maintained control of the Bitcoin Core GitHub repository and was considered Bitcoin’s lead developer. On April 8, 2014, Andresen stepped down and van der Laan agreed to take over as Lead Maintainer of the Bitcoin repo. His salary is paid by MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative, where he works on Bitcoin development with Andresen and Cory Fields

Te acuerdas de Gavin Andresen, al que Satoshi lo dejó a cargo del mantenimiento del Bitcoin?
Pues él también es partidario de los bloques grandes!!!!

Deal with it!!!!
