1 2017-04-06 02:19:56 <Rozal> When is the release date for segwit
2 2017-04-06 02:21:58 <achow101> Rozal: segwit has already been released. It has not been activated yet. Activation is dependent on miner signalling so we cannot say when segwit will activate
3 2017-04-06 02:22:33 <Rozal> Someone should put out a movie trailer for segwit to increase appeal
4 2017-04-06 02:22:54 <Rozal> This summer....one BIP
5 2017-04-06 09:30:05 <wallet42> q about asicboost: which chunk is staying the same? first or second?
6 2017-04-06 21:25:02 <stiell> Bitmain says "Increasing the block size will make the collisions even more difficult", is this also true in the case of the recent extension blocks proposal?
7 2017-04-06 21:26:19 <TD-Linux> I don't believe it's true in either case.
8 2017-04-06 21:26:24 <stiell> (not that I trust that it's necessarily true in the first place)
9 2017-04-06 21:27:12 <TD-Linux> well actually there was a ml post about this
10 2017-04-06 21:41:20 <achow101> stiell: well there's more transactions that need to be hashed into the merkle tree
11 2017-04-06 21:42:51 <TD-Linux> isn't that only linear scaling difficulty?
12 2017-04-06 21:44:59 <achow101> I don't think so. adding one new hash can mean requiring many more hash operations due to the tree structure
13 2017-04-06 21:50:32 <stiell> Rehashing the tree with a single leaf change would be O(log N).
14 2017-04-06 22:05:02 <goatpig> then force a difficulty grind in the merkle root?
15 2017-04-06 22:05:50 <goatpig> wouldn't that bloat the collision space?
