Why not do some larger txs (in bytes) instead of many small txs? Will have the same effect and we can embed some cool data into the blockchain.

Hi, the people involved in developing the tools for the stress test value a lot the quantity of txs. It is amazing to see a lot of tx going on txstreet. And beat BTC in qty of txs.

It would also be amazing to see some larger txs, and put to good use. If the tx size is over 100kb, the person takes up half the sidewalk! :D

I would love to see this!
Imagine watching txstreet as people being books get on the bus
"That's probably AnimalFarm"
How will the voice bubbles be affected for large kb transactions?

r/btc does not love it:

If you really think about it - less UTXO, who wants save it

wow, surprised r/btc doesn't like it. felt like I was reading r/bitocin. what happened to the we can do anything / cool fun new projects attitude?
replied 2107d
Look, there is a project called Matter (www.mttr.app) that has this main objective, to use op_return space to send pictures, books and long text like blogs. It is in alpha.

Tip is for your work on txblaster2. Thank you!

Looks pretty good. Can't all the post chunks be in the same tx though? Why create multiple txs when you can just create multiple OP_RETURN outputs? It's more efficient.
replied 2107d
You can only have 1 OP_RETURN output per transaction.
Tom
replied 2107d
Thanks TIL. Is there a reason why?
replied 2107d
I think to limit the amount of data per transaction, otherwise the 80 byte limit wouldn't mean much if you could have multiple.
Tom
replied 2107d
Having a limit at all seems counterintuitive, now that projects are finding ways around it (inefficiently). I think BCH could enable multiple OP_RETURN outputs without a hard fork.

Good idea! I made the images topic a while ago, why not toss some base64 encoded stuff in there? Takes a while manually, but someone can probably automate it...

Yes! we could easily fit entire books into the blockchain during this stresstest.

Could start with Animal Farm by George Orwell. Pretty fitting and it's only like 200kb.

See 'the virtue of selfishness' in topics.. I did a practice run, finished last pages thru matter. To keep date stamps in sync @unwriter suggested using that site.

Why not compress it? Clear text is stupid.
Tom
replied 2108d
It would be compressed lol.

is there a script doing that?
Tom
replied 2108d
Someone could make one. Could be called "BCH Library" or something. Txs could embed book data and have it searchable and decoded with an app. Voters or arbiters could verify books.

Search function is already present with bitdb. I have showed it with memo already.
replied 2107d
Yes, and there's matter for larger texts.
replied 2107d
A script is being written for posting books on memo.

Cool :) I messaged you on Twitter. I think it would work better as a separate protocol.

Go for it, the test is open to all ideas/ways for increasing volume.
