Before accepting a project, Binance investigates the crypto project thoroughly. Bitcoin was a great proof of concept, but Monero fixes all the issues that the Bitcoin project brought to attention. However, there are plans to move to another protocol in the future, called delegated Proof of Stake, resembling the EOS blockchain. There was discussion about whether or not this should be a configurable amount. This week’s newsletter requests help testing a Bitcoin Core release candidate, summarizes continued discussion of LN anchor outputs, and describes a proposal for allowing full nodes and lightweight clients to signal support for IP address relay. This week’s newsletter describes a demo implementation of eltoo and several discussions related to it, requests comments on limiting the normal number of LN gossip updates to one per day, and provides our longest-to-date list of notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects. Naumenko’s email requests feedback on which method would be preferred by implementers of both full nodes and lightweight clients. ● Signaling support for address relay: full nodes share the IP addresses of other full nodes they’ve heard about with their peers using the P2P protocol’s addr (address) message, enabling fully decentralized peer discovery. 17578 updates the getaddressinfo RPC to return an array of strings corresponding to the label used by an address.

16185 updates the gettransaction RPC with a new parameter decode. The deprecated listpayments RPC as well as the deprecated description parameter or output field in pay, sendpay, and waitsendpay. ● Encoded descriptors: Chris Belcher asked for feedback from the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list about base64 encoding output script descriptors so that they’re easier to copy and paste (and also so that regular users aren’t exposed to their code-like syntax). 3814 allows the UTXO sweeper to add wallet inputs to a sweep transaction in order to ensure its output meets the dust limit. ● Coinjoins without equal value inputs or outputs: Adam Ficsor (nopara73) started a discussion on the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list about two previously-published papers (1, 2) describing coinjoins that didn’t use either equal-value inputs or outputs. 70) which will need to add inputs to a transaction in order to be able to spend low-value UTXOs. When carve-out was added, the exception to those rules was not applied to transaction replacements, so nodes would accept carve-outs but not RBF fee bumps of them. Similar to Bitcoin ATMs, gift cards and vouchers have considerably high transaction fees. Watchtowers are services that broadcast penalty transactions on behalf of LN nodes that may be offline, recovering any funds that would otherwise have been lost due to an old channel state being confirmed onchain.

The LN protocol only allows the node that opens a channel to propose new commitment transactions with feerate changes, so this change only applies to channel initiators. If that happens, you need only wait for your channel counterparty to close the channel by paying a key directly derived from your HD wallet. Ugam Kamat explains how the proposed addition of schnorr signatures in segwit v1 does not remove the need for ECDSA. Tapscript signatures already commit to the script being executed, so a signature that’s valid for one script can’t be used in another script. In a separate schnorr-related topic, ZmnSCPxj wrote a post about the challenges of safely using the MuSig signature aggregation protocol with sub-groups. 337 makes it easy to configure the size of a pre-computed table used by the library to speed up signature generation. A hash function is a function that takes data of any size as input and produces a sequence of bits closely related to the input. On-list, Russell O’Connor restated a previous concern of his about CTV pulling data off the stack in an abnormal order for Bitcoin Script. 3647 switches from using base64 to hex for the display of binary data in the listinvoices RPC.

The first RPC will sign a message that can be verified by someone with your LN node’s public key. Andrew Chow lists several considerations regarding public keys and quantum resistance, including: the need to reveal the public key during spending, the large number of bitcoins in outputs with known public keys, and numerous ways which public keys are exposed outside of just transacting due to not currently being treated as secrets. Whether each LN payment should pay different public keys (using pubkey tweaking). For example, a spender could restrict the future receivers of a set of coins to just three addresses-any payment to any other address would be forbidden. Create account. Head over to the Binance main web page (for the US citizens here) and register with an e-mail address and a password. The contract creator should specify the contract address and the address to receive the reward. Node software can prepare for this maximum 42-month process by including, even in its initial versions, a configuration option that users can manually enable to enforce the BIP8 flag day if necessary. It is normal to see “in progress” until the process is completed. Whenever you see an arrow on the bottom right corner of a module, you can drag it to your preferred layout.
