Well, paradoxically, we could do this by *imposing additional constraints* on transaction validation, such that transactions made a very specific certain way will always look valid to non-CLTVers, but for CLTVers they will not be valid unless the CLTV rules are followed. The obvious concern is that non-CLTV people might receive invalid payments. However, their software is already set up to request payments in a non-CLTV way, so, luckily, this is actually not a problem at all! SPV clients can elect to only connect to nodes which are non-CLTV.

📝 Original message:Hey all, nice to meet you... I'm new to the community and thus, after taking that first step of signing up, have been reading/scanning these threads over the last few days without contributing my own two ¢-- not, um, 'trolling', just, you know, educating myself and getting familiar with the group ethos and etiquette.
It wasn't until I'd read ~10 posts that I understood the initial purpose of the thread! As few others have mentioned, I'm a bit surprised, at all the back and forth à la hip-hop 'battling' ;-) It certainly obfuscates-- while entertaining-- to the point where a newbie like myself might drop out... Perhaps this is intentional-- to maintain exclusivity and weed out the uninitiated. I dunno. But if not, I'm just noting, as something of an outsider, that it took a while.
But I'd like to contribute. With what little knowledge I possess, I'm inclined to favor hardfork... Is there a more suitable place to address this? Perhaps to work on code? For this specific project, that is... Anyone point me to a map somewhere? LOL.
Thanks to all for reading, and much admiration to you all and the work you've done, my latter comments notwithstanding!
Cheers,
N

📝 Original message:Hi Byron,
I've been using shadow a bit-- I think these simulators are important for testing, but Shadow, at least, certainly seems to have limitations, in some crucial respects. Running shadow w Tor (which is only logical, because many BCT transactions transpire over Tor) is not as 'light' as presented and slows my own box down quite a bit, so the stats can't possibly be accurate... I don't know if this answers any questions or if you've had this experience at all -- perhaps it is negligible on a more powerful machine than my own-- or perhaps there is an adjustment still unaccounted?
Regards,
Nina K
