🧾 Summary of Threads Started This Week
A developer experiment on compact block relay in Bitcoin Knots showed a 90% success rate in block reconstruction, suggesting efficient synchronization and improved scalability. More details on Uncensored Tech Substack.
Bitcoin Core v29.2 introduces bug fixes, performance enhancements, and updated translations across networking, mempool, RPC, and documentation. Read more on Bitcoin Core’s official site.
Abdel proposes
OP_STARK_VERIFY for on-chain verification of STARK proofs, enabling scalability, post-quantum signatures, and privacy-enhanced transactions. Community feedback invited here.Updated simulations of a new reputation algorithm show strong resistance to network attacks, maintaining transaction reliability while minimizing false positives. Details in this analysis.
