Revision as of 00:00, 1 February 2012
Features I want:
- Type-2 deterministic wallets
- Multi-wallet (including non-spending wallets)
- scrypt wallet encryption
- disk corruption robust wallet storage
- Peer management RPCs (peer info (last connect, version, transaction stats, blocks stats), add, remove)
- A pseudo-cli interface for the GUI. e.g. file->console
- Transaction queuing (to improve coin selection and allow the use of sendmany without explicitly asking for it)
- Smarter coin selection (minds fees!), general MILP solver is probably too much. :)
- Better anonymity (avoid cross-linking), but multiwallet helps
- Wallet sweeping (avoid jagged coins, get excess inputs destroyed when you have a chance)
- Thin client mode
- Should be able to run many bitcoin-cli bitcoin-qt instances over the network against a single trusted bitcoind network node
- Offline wallet— BIP10ish
- NTP integration (if trusted, healthy, ntp— use instead of network time)
- Better network time intelligence
- Roaming connections (reduced attack risk, learn about peers faster)
- Lightweight node announce to (dns)seeds?
- Priority relaying (measure which nodes are most 'useful' based on blocks/txn-w-fees then relay to them before other nodes, relay to them first— move to front on good actions probably enough)
- Authenticated peers for addnode so a network attacker can't isolate you without your knowledge
- Peer management RPCs (peer info (last connect, version, transaction stats, blocks stats), add, remove)
- IPv6
- Onion-cat style onion peers
- Blockchain over satellite reciever (peak blockchain datarate 14kbit/sec, sat bandwidth isn't that expensive)
- Network sanity checks. Trusted peers down, network very slow? don't take txn out of unconfirmed.
- timewarp fix
- More DOS/network attack hardening (time skewing, memory exhaustion, etc)
- Fast chain sync (fix database stupidity)
- Read only chain summaries for old history
- Compressed blockchain history, decompress to build the summary preserving zero trust
- Backwards header sync, then fill blocks
- Operate as a lite client until synced up
- P2Pool
- Share in lieu of TXN fees
- No funds for anti-dos fee? Generate at least a diff N share with a commitment to the txn in the coinbase, distribute along with the txn (allows us to keep mining as our singular POW system, but still use small amounts of it without a pooling solution that works at cpu miner levels!)
