Not very\nbad, but should be taken into account.\n\n\n\n\nOn Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 3:02 PM, Emin Gün Sirer \u003c\nbitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e Hi everyone,\n\u003e\n\u003e We just released the whitepaper describing Bitcoin-NG, a new technique for\n\u003e addressing some of the scalability challenges faced by Bitcoin.\n\u003e Surprisingly, Bitcoin-NG can simultaneously increase throughput while\n\u003e reducing latency, and do so without impacting Bitcoin's open architecture\n\u003e or changing its trust model. This post illustrates the core technique:\n\u003e      http://hackingdistributed.com/2015/10/14/bitcoin-ng/\n\u003e while the whitepaper has all the nitty gritty details:\n\u003e      http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.02037\n\u003e\n\u003e Fitting NG on top of the current Bitcoin blockchain is future work that we\n\u003e think is quite possible. NG is compatible with both Bitcoin as is, as well\n\u003e as Blockstream-like sidechains, and we currently are not planning to\n\u003e compete commercially with either technology -- we see NG as being\n\u003e complementary to both efforts. This is pure science, published and shared\n\u003e with the community to advance the state of blockchains and to help them\n\u003e reach throughputs and latencies required of cutting edge fintech\n\u003e applications. Perhaps it can be adopted, or perhaps it can provide the\n\u003e spark of inspiration for someone else to come up with even better solutions.\n\u003e\n\u003e We would be delighted to hear your feedback.\n\u003e - Ittay Eyal and E.
