Hello

02:27

I asked a while back wince when did power rangers change the way they store the blockchain, and apparently its from 0.8

02:28

So i noticed that now there is this folder chainstate, where it stores the UTXO set

02:28

And(hope i am not getting this wrong) but the blockchain its just a patch to the current UTXO set

02:28

Is there something wrong with this model? Why does TRB not use it?

Logged on 2021-07-23 04:44:34 adlai: fwiw the whole "witness" nomenclature always pissed me off; if anything, it primed me towards not being a rabid supporter of the idea. why use the synonym, when everyone had been calling them "signatures" for the entire history of bitcoin until then?

05:03

Also they now have a mining council

Also for the lulz, when the 1st block was minned, people started sending dust to their addr

https://mempool.space/address/3LC8dDKyBsrWPfzhXyt7aAyjXxGYkfDdHu

05:05

And then a bunch of CoinJoined TXs and some even with link to DNMs

05:06

But now the real question is did they actually censor any TXs and can we measure this?

05:07

Yes we can, we compare how much diffrent the mined block is to what getblocktemplate() gives us

05:07

05:07

And the 0xb10 bloke made a website for this

05:07

So they did not actually censor anything.
