Right now with a lot of presigned protocols (like lightning commitment transactions), you include a separate output thats small so that if you need to fee-bump the transaction you can CPFP that output. One problem with this is you need to have some funds locked up in this anchor. Another is that for something like lightning, each side needs to have an anchor. And also anchors are sort of unique and ad hoc. Instagibbs has been working on ephemeral anchors which are like a standardized 0-value anyone can spend output. So you dont have funds locked up, you only need one anchor and either party can bump it, and its composable with other protocols. The actual output is an OP_TRUE and then a little two byte tag. This release of bitcoin standardizes that output so nodes will relay those transactions. They’ve been consensus valid, but until now you would have had to hand them to a miner

Looks like IBD is getting ~30% faster, full-rbf by default, and pay-to-anchor is now standard (SUPER useful anchor outputs for CPFPing transactions, making it easier to manage fees for presigned tx protocols, like lightning but other applications too!), and i am OVER THE MOON about the move to cmake for the build system

I think it’s fun to play with. I like how simple the interface is and as a result how much software has popped up around it. I’m very skeptical that it finds mainstream adoption for traditional payments, but i think there’s a usecase around SaaS/IaaS/PaaS billing and metering that could be really interesting.
So I’m a fan of the project, not really sure where it will end up, and that’s great.

If you re-use a nonce for two different signatures with the same key, it leaks the key.
Imagine a UTXO is encumbered with a script that says “you have to use 7” as the nonce.
If you can spend that UTXO and you sign more than one transaction spending it, you leak your private key.
Lots of interesting applications (especially in multi party settings) where you can make it costly for someone to sign two conflicting transactions

Want to check a merkle inclusion proof *in* your script? Need CAT. Want to check that your script itself was included in the address commitment? Thats taproot

2024-06-23 22:21:28

- reply

In the current proposal for CAT (BIP-420), its Just Another Opcode. The check is that it fails if you try to create a stack element longer than 520 bytes.
In the proposal from @npub179e…lz4s , there is a variable operations budget (varops) and if you exceed the budget, your script is invalid. In this model, the “cost” for an operation is based on what kind of operation it is (add is cheaper than mul) as a function of its input length(s).

But with ecash!

2024-05-26 16:51:53

my take on why im excited about ecash, but for different reasons.
#note1ncs…6tup

2024-05-26 16:50:56

@npub1m6y…mzj9 gave me a walkthrough of the fedimint module interface at bitcoin++. really neat. The tldr is that you can have the federation run a module that vends ${whatever} in exchange for ecash.
Having a mint be a small closed market for different services that you pay for with that market's ecash is a really interesting model.
For example, you could make a cloud services market where you have a module for object storage, a module for serverless compute, a module for some SaaS service, etc. The modules/backing services could be made by different companies or teams, and then they delegate account management and last-mile billing to the mint (because its just bitcoin in, bitcoin out).
I'm pretty skeptical ecash for mass-adoption end user payments, but I think ecash for a pluggable platforms of related services makes a ton of sense.

There’s a bunch of folks doing interesting (sometimes truly bizarre) things in script like implementing MUL with double-and-add or merklized lookup tables, trying to implement a stark verifier, etc. so far we’ve found that the 1000 element stack depth limit is something you need to be aware of, but isn’t *usually* an issue. And i think the places it gets bumped into would be trivially fixed if the stack element limit was raised. Anecdotal, but supports the view that 1000 elements is plenty roomy (*especially* if a stack element was able to be up to 4mb)

Going to be talking about the onchain vault that I made with OP_CAT on the optech spaces this week. Swing by if you want to hear about using fun schnorr tricks in script to do transaction introspection (Id argue its closer to transaction assertion but w/e)

cool features include partial enforcement of inputs/outputs, and inspecting state in a previous parent transaction. also loads of spaghetti

Nothing undermines whatever point youre trying to make like going straight to name calling. Take a step back, and get your emotions under control.
What do you think a UASF is? Its a group of people saying “we are going to start enforcing new consensus rules”. If those people are in the economic majority, then their fork wins. If not, it looses. Thats what bitcoin consensus is. Its the rules enforced by the economic majority.
If you are convinced that the economic majority of nodes thinks that inscriptions are invalid transactions, then you should enforce that rule. If you think that the economic majority of nodes think inscriptions are valid transactions, then enforcing that rule puts you on a minority chain.

You dont have to trust my intentions. If bitcoin only works with good intentions, bitcoin fails. Bitcoin works because of open source code and economics. This is the exact same, except its much shorter code.

People seem to think that they are invalid. If the economic majority believes that, then they can do something about it. Otherwise, they are valid transactions.

This will rid your node of inscriptions. You can run it, or not. It's your computer, you can run whatever software you want on it.
Relay filtering doesn't work. This has teeth.
https://github.com/rot13maxi/bitcoin-purifier
if you dont think inscriptions are valid tx, reject blocks that include them. If the economic majority of nodes does that, the miners will choose to build on a chain tip that doesnt have inscriptions, or they sell into a smaller market
this is what it all comes down to. this is the essence of bitcoin consensus.

2023-12-25 04:19:19

- reply

The thing that youre missing is that the market likes inscriptions because theyre on Bitcoin. People can (and have) made inscriptions on other chains. Litecoun, dogecoin, eth, solana all have then now. The market isnt moving there. Being on bitcoin is a feature. Its not likely that community will fork off to a smaller chain.

The sophon was a PoC to demonstrate the problem with a global unique namespace where block inclusion wins.
On tx volume:
A token with a 20M supply and a 1000 per mint limit will take 40,000 transactions to mint out. Every token transfer takes 3 onchain transactions. Thats never going to be usable for anything but meme coin speculation. I don’t have a problem with people trying to do colored coin schemes on bitcoin, but brc20 is just REALLY inefficient.
