| arhuaco | Rusty: Hi there. I have a few hours tonight. How can I help? I guess I can make the (basic) explorer now. The network is not running ATM. | 05:20 |
|---|---|---|
| rusty | arhuaco: yes, do is screwed :( | 05:34 |
| rusty | arhuaco: hmm, manual power off, power on seemed to fix it. Not sure for how long... | 05:50 |
| arhuaco | Rusty: Good. | 05:50 |
| rusty | arhuaco: so, I'm in the last two weeks of my sabbatical to work on pettycoin. At a time when everyone is talking about sidechains (hey, we have a name now!). So there are a few really good ideas on how to do a "scalable bitcoin", and I'm reviewing them vs. pettycoin one by one. | 05:51 |
| rusty | arhuaco: but the net result will probably be a reboot/major rewrite of the project | 05:51 |
| arhuaco | Rusty: Oh, I see. So it means that I better wait before building something? | 05:59 |
| arhuaco | Rusty: I noticed things changed a lot, in the last weblog post. No longer partial knowledge it seems. | 06:00 |
| rusty | arhuaco: yes, I think so. | 06:04 |
| rusty | arhuaco: yes, there should still be partial knowledge, just done a different way. | 06:04 |
| rusty | arhuaco: The reason I started re-evaluating is that there seems a real chance that bitcoin will be changed (soft-forked) to support sidechains. | 06:05 |
| rusty | arhuaco: this would get rid of the need for gateways (yay!!) but would require sidechains to look more like bitcoin, and understand the bitcoin protocol. | 06:05 |
| rusty | arhuaco: I simplified the bitcoin format, but there's not much point if I need to parse bitcoin anyway; might as well just copy it. For example, we'd need locktime if we wanted to do atomic swaps, which would swap bitcoin for pettycoin. | 06:06 |
| arhuaco | Rusty: I seee. Lots of actions with sidechains recently. Many things have changed. | 06:11 |
| rusty | arhuaco: yes, it's very cool work! | 06:13 |
| arhuaco | Rusty: So, I better wait until you change things. Things will probably change a lot. | 06:24 |
| rusty | arhuaco: yes.... I'm tempted to start from the bitcoin reference client, or libbitcoin, and modify that. Much more will be similar now, so reimplemting just means new bugs. | 06:35 |
