Canonical ordering increases parsing & verification complexity & when transaction ordering is predetermined the chain is easier attacked.
replied 2211d
Yes, it increases verification complexity (slightly), but how does it make it "easier to attack" the chain.

Simply put; Its less random. We would have to use our imaginations as to how that might be a vector of attack in the future but it remains that determinism is not good for cryptography

the transactions in that block, not to encrypt the data, but to prove it's existence. So how is the cryptography at all at risk if transactions are ordered a certain way?

When you can predict, roughly, what data will be transferred every ten minutes it becomes easier to prepare for interception etc. Correct? As I said you'd have to use your imagination.

consensus mechanism to prove their existence. Hence why all transactions are also sent totally encrypted in every block as well.

totally unencrypted*

No. Every node on the network already knows about every tx. The hash of the transactions does not serve to hide the txs or prevent them from interception. It is used ONLY as a....

You say no but then don't prove it. Every node knows about each tx yes, but not the order they will be blocked. So... With CTO they will, and it is more susceptible to fuckery.
replied 2210d
knowing the order of txs in a block. That's not how the encryption is used, or even works. Txs are hashed ONLY as part of merkle tree, meaning they only matter for the past blocks.

It's got nothing to do with encryption, but everything to do with determinism. And deterministic systems are more susceptible to attack. This is a fact that you have refused to admit.
replied 2210d
The universe is deterministic. Bitcoin uses that determinism via of encryption and game theory to work. Read up and stop using buzzwords like you know what you're talking about.

Ok cool, so you won't prove that determinism is good for a system susceptible to attack. That's fine, I hope you control your own private keys ☮️

be able to deterministic-ally calculate a priv key from a pub key. But tx order is not one of them.

You're just bleating on off on a tangent. You still haven't admitted that deterministic systems are easier to attack. CTO is another attack on the chain's protocol, like Segwit.
replied 2209d
No, I'm explaining to you why you are wrong. You just keep repeating yourself, unwilling or unable to address the points I've made.

The points you've made don't disprove my statement that random ordering of transactions in blocks makes the system safer so I have no need to. Also learn how to thread replies 👋🏼

Determinism is necessary for literally any computer system. There are some parts of encryption (priv/pub keys) where we DON'T want determinism. For example, you shouldn't...
replied 2209d
Yep, the same private keys that are deterministic-ally generated by a pseudo-random computer program, and then deterministic-ally used to calculate a public key and address.

I'm done arguing with you since you clearly have no idea what you're talking about lol.

Mate you don't even know how to make a comment thread so... Sucks to be stupid, I guess although you're probably not. But whatever.

No, you are showing a fundamental lack of understanding of the encryption behind bitcoin and the reason txs are hashed in the first place. There is no possible fuckery behind...
replied 2210d
A) verify hash matches the blocks txs B) So the hash can be used to calculate future blockheaders, therefore cryptgrphcly proving the block is built on a valid tx history(merkle tree)

The entire point of hashing the transactions is so that someone who looks at all the transactions published in that block can easily can quickly:

Based on the cryptography involved, I'm not sure how the order of the transactions could provide any sort of attack vector. If the whole network can easily and nearly instantly see...
