Design Notes

Initial design choices

  • protocol/routing/network layer: websockets (multi nonblocking clients)
  • server-side fileformat : yaml
  • client-side fileformat : JSON

Language choice:

serverside: perl (or nodejs) clienside: javascript

block chain structure

minimally sized blocks :

  • segreated signature, timestamp, audit etc.
  • block: {address, previous, pow}
  • use balances for state rather than TXO to avoid the need keep txo states, and link txi to utxo

observation ...

  • revokable block if sign w/ a DH on txo and ECDSA on txi

  • txroot (merkle root can be global)

  • PoW is to slow down chainupdate to avois spam

  • consensus is on the longest length

  • /!\ maximal work is hackable (as pow is exponential to difficulties)

  • sort of tx sequence can be done on node side

  • block chain can store tx out of order (FIFO style)

  • does mining really need to be conpetitive ?

  • if mining is done by all node the recipient of txo will be willing to mine!

  • if a .2% tax on transaction can replace/solve all VAT taxes then mining rewards is "artificially" inflated to compensate for a wasteful technology

  • nano-trading is stealing (i.e. taking advantage of who has the power to be informed fast) on need to put a "lowpass" filter on trading : speculation is necessary for long term protection against future uncertainty... short term predicition make no sense !

    long unpredictable queue time (mempools) can deter speculator as it would be like "lotery" lotery is a "gamified" tax extractor.

  • PoW can be replaced by ZK proof of some Work

  • should it be txo which carries the burden of proof of work ?

  • validator already do a great job making the system "alive"

  • block reward could be proportional to the number of tx in the block i.e. the "real" work is indeed the verif not a hash-puzzle

  • How to mitigate DDoS on Mempool ?

  • why would we want making block more and more difficult to add when technology advance ??? (how to make spice of spamming constant through technology ?)
