Activation of SegWit v1

Activation of SegWit v1

The segregated witness soft fork of August 2017 included a versioning field which would allow for future incrementation. Anthony Towns has recently posted an early draft of the proposal for the SegWit v1 upgrade to the mailing list.

  • Although the devil is of course in the details, how could such an upgrade process look like?

  • What are the different upgrade mechanism for the major [v1 - v16] and minor [v1.0 - v1.127] version changes?

  • How is the soft fork signaled?

  • How is the consensus change enforced?

  • Is the v1 change as "contentious" and time consuming as v0 was?

  • What are the tasks of node operators and miners?

Thank you in advance for the answer!

sendrawtransaction and txn-mempool-conflict

sendrawtransaction and txn-mempool-conflict When i sendrawtransaction to bitcoind, i get error (exceptions) 18: txn-mempool-conflict (use Bitcoin JSON-RPC denpamusic/php-bitcoinrpc ) But the transaction is sent to the network and is subsequently confirmed. Example one decoded transaction : https://jsfiddle.net/rn58a4j6/ then i send this transaction: 94ec12fc463230b4285a29b047608627c05572a4c6eabe6688a201ce49ae72f7 https://ift.tt/2MY2KP0

How to generate public and private key pairs from the 12 seed words in python

How to generate public and private key pairs from the 12 seed words in python I basically followed the instructions here How to generate mycelium addresses from the 12 words in python So my code is similar: from bip32utils import BIP32Key from bip32utils import BIP32_HARDEN from bip32utils import Base58 import os, bip39 strength_bits = 128 entropy = os.urandom(strength_bits // 8) wallet_generator = bip39.Mnemonic('english') mnemonic = wallet_generator.to_mnemonic(entropy) assert wallet_generator.to_entropy(mnemonic) == entropy # see, bijective! # Or specify the mnemonic directly if you prefer: mnemonic = 'aware report movie exile buyer drum poverty supreme gym oppose float elegant' passphrase = 'test' seed = bip39.Mnemonic.to_seed(mnemonic, passphrase=passphrase) key = BIP32Key.fromEntropy(seed) account_number = 0 i = 0 print key.ChildKey(44 + BIP32_HARDEN) \ .ChildKey(0 + BIP32_HARDEN) \ .ChildKey(account_number + BIP32_HARDEN) \
