I'm noticing during stress test times I have problems with @memo posts,
"transactions taking longer than usual..." red bar at the top.
We're thinking approx 500k txns 1Aug.
max so far 100k
Uh @Memo we need to talk. My transactions weren't going through until just now. I had 29 unconfirmed Memos. First confirmation, boom can Memo again. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
The reason for the error above is that most nodes only chain 25 unconfirmed transactions together. The way to get around that is using multiple UTXOs but it isn't easy to code for.
Yes. Coin-shuffle is an extra step, but it is available right now. Guessing that, in time, periodic shuffling is going to be a built-in feature in most decent wallets.
Memo has some privacy features on the distant roadmap and integrating coin-shuffle (or something similar) is definitely being considered.
If they've been login attacks, would not be more likely that they were trying to steal BCHs from accounts with weak passwords (brute force attack) than actually DDoS?
Correct, it was more of a brute force attack. However, requests we're coming from many different IPs. So a distributed brute force attack :P
Good question. Memo, do you throttle attempts and/or lockout accounts for bad logins? Of course not sure how they would know usernames as they are not public.
We have some throttling, but this was coming from lots of different IPs and wasn't targeting any specific accounts.
Can you setup a underfunded, integrated faucet so that new users immediately can receive (automatically) sats needed to get started?
Faucets are hard because it's easy for someone to write a script that registers lots of accounts and drains the faucet. Hopefully we can figure out a way to prevent that though.
Got into bitcoin several years after the 2008 crisis, after starting a business and finally learning the truth about how the global money supply is managed and manipulated.
That's incredible. Have you heard of Caitlin Long? We have her featuring this week on the podcast you will love it.
Is there a website that lists all brick and mortar stores that accept BCH or crypto in general? I looked on acceptbitcoin.cash and I know there have to be more than that. And you can’t put in by location.
Can Bitcoin Scale to 1,000's of Transactions per second on existing hardware? Do we need 2nd layer solutions? Watch Roger Ver's breakdown and don't forget to leave a comment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5Ipgwl7-K6o
