[bitcoin-dev] Making AsicBoost irrelevant

As part of the hard-fork proposed in the HK agreement(1) we'd like to make the patented AsicBoost optimisation useless, and hopefully make further similar optimizations useless as well. What's the best way to do this? Ideally this would be SPV compatible, but if it requires changes from SPV clients that's ok too. Also the fix this should be compatible with existing mining hardware. 1) https://medium.com/@bitcoinroundtable/bitcoin-roundtable-consensus-266d475a61ff 2) http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2016-April/012596.html -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
