Kuzetsa: Possibly related to code which dumps the stratum server's memory pool and sends it to stratum clients?

== Stratum Extensions (section titled "Stratum Functionality") ==

I tried to find a source for the description of the "Transparency" feature of stratum protocol, and I didn't see it described anywhere in the spec:

* [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17zHy1SUlhgtCMbypO8cHgpWH73V5iUQKk_0rWvMqSNs/edit?hl=en_US#heading=h.pdck101h85p6 Stratum - network protocol spec] (google docs)

Is there an updated spec explaining the various (optional or otherwise) extensions?

Miner fees

2013-11-12T18:40:33Z

Kuzetsa: /* Relaying */ this number is the same as above, so it's no longer "smaller" (assuming the relay fee hasn't changed as well)

[[File:fee.png|thumb|Receiving the fees from hundreds of transactions (0.44 BTC)]]
'''Transaction fees''' may be included with any transfer of bitcoins from one address to another. At the moment, many [[transactions]] are typically processed in a way where no fee is expected at all, but for transactions which draw coins from many bitcoin addresses and therefore have a large data size, a small transaction fee is usually expected.

The transaction fee is processed by and received by the bitcoin miner. When a new bitcoin block is generated with a successful hash, the information for all of the transactions is included with the block and all transaction fees are collected by that user creating the block, who is free to assign those fees to himself.

Transaction fees are voluntary on the part of the person making the bitcoin transaction, as the person attempting to make a transaction can include any fee or none at all in the transaction. On the other hand, nobody mining new bitcoins necessarily needs to accept the transactions and include them in the new block being created. The transaction fee is therefore an incentive on the part of the bitcoin user to make sure that a particular transaction will get included into the next block which is generated.

It is envisioned that over time the cumulative effect of collecting transaction fees will allow somebody creating new blocks to "earn" more bitcoins than will be mined from new bitcoins created by the new block itself. This is also an incentive to keep trying to create new blocks even if the value of the newly created block from the mining activity is zero in the far future.

==Reference Implementation==

The following sections describe the behavior of the [[Original Bitcoin client|reference implementation]] as of version 0.8.2. Earlier versions treated fees differently, as do other popular implementations.

===Sending===

A transaction may be safely sent without fees if these conditions are met:

* It is smaller than 10,000 bytes.
* All outputs are 0.01 BTC or larger.
* Its priority is large enough (see the Technical Info section below)

Otherwise, the reference implementation will round up the transaction size to the nearest thousand bytes and then add a fee of 0.0001 BTC per thousand bytes<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219504.0 Default fee dropped in v0.8.2]</ref>.
Users may increase the default 0.0001 BTC/kB fee setting, but cannot control transaction fees for each transaction. Bitcoin-Qt does prompt the user to accept the fee before the transaction is sent (they may cancel the transaction if they are not willing to pay the fee).

Note that a typical transaction is 500 bytes, so the typical transaction fee for low-priority transactions is 0.0001 BTC, regardless of the number of bitcoins sent.

===Including in Blocks===

This section describes how the reference implementation selects which transactions to put into new blocks, with default settings. All of the settings may be changed if a miner wants to create larger or smaller blocks containing more or fewer free transactions.

27.000 bytes in the block are set aside for the highest-priority transactions, regardless of transaction fee. Transactions are added highest-priority-first to this section of the block.

Then transactions that pay a fee of at least 0.0001 BTC/kb are added to the block, highest-fee transactions first, until the block is not more than 250,000 bytes big.

The remaining transactions remain in the miner's "memory pool", and may be included in later blocks if their priority or fee is large enough.

===Relaying===

The reference implementation's rules for relaying transactions across the peer-to-peer network are very similar to the rules for sending transactions, as a value of 0.0001 BTC is used to determine whether or not a transaction is considered "Free". To prevent "penny-flooding" denial-of-service attacks on the network, the reference implementation caps the number of free transactions it will relay to other nodes to (by default) 15 thousand bytes per minute.

===Settings===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Default Value (units)
|-
| paytxfee || 0.0000 (BTC)
|-
| limitfreerelay || 15 (thousand bytes per minute)
|-
| mintxfee || 0.0001 (BTC)
|-
| blockmaxsize || 250000 (bytes)
|-
| blockminsize || 0 (bytes)
|-
| blockprioritysize || 27000 (bytes)
|}

==Technical info==

Transaction priority is calculated as a value-weighted sum of input age, divided by transaction size in bytes:
priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes
Transactions need to have a priority above 57,600,000 to avoid the enforced limit (as of client version 0.3.21). This threshold is written in the code as COIN * 144 / 250, suggesting that the threshold represents a one day old, 1 btc coin (144 is the expected number of blocks per day) and a transaction size of 250 bytes.

So, for example, a transaction that has 2 inputs, one of 5 btc with 10 confirmations, and one of 2 btc with 3 confirmations, and has a size of 500bytes, will have a priority of
(500000000 * 10 + 200000000 * 3) / 500 = 11,200,000

Kuzetsa: NPOV and COI links / explanation.

Please stop mindlessly reposting your criticism of [[Btclevels]] at the top of their wiki page; it's not productive. I don't know or care anything about the dispute, but it belongs in the Criticism section where I moved it for you. Also, please edit it to be NPOV when you get an opportunity. Thanks. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 20:09, 22 October 2013 (GMT)
:For clarification, <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[wikipedia:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki> is a reference to a preference for wiki contributors (editors) to write things from a "neutral point of view" whenever possible. This preference is shared by many of the editors here on the bitcoin wiki. <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[wikipedia:WP:COI|WP:COI]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki> also seems to be relevant in this case, as you currently have an active dispute with BTCLevels. --[[User:Kuzetsa|Kuzetsa]] ([[User talk:Kuzetsa|talk]]) 20:31, 22 October 2013 (GMT)

Zerocoin

2013-05-05T12:38:05Z

Kuzetsa: Added two "less technical" (layman-friendly) references.

{{stub}}

Zerocoin is a new cryptographic extension to Bitcoin that (if adopted) would bring true cryptographic anonymity to Bitcoin. It works at the protocol level and doesn't require new trusted parties or services. With some engineering, it might (someday) turn Bitcoin into a completely untraceable, anonymous electronic currency.
