Maybe just self-test\nindicating the node is not reachable from outside (together with short\nhowto like in some torrent clients).\n\nThese days IPv6 is slowly deploying to server environments, but maybe\nthere's some simple way how to bundle ipv6 tunnelling into bitcoind so any\ninstance will become ipv6-reachable automatically?\n\nMaybe there're other ideas how to improve current situation without needs\nof reworking the architecture.\n\nMarek\n\n\nOn Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 9:33 PM, Gregory Maxwell \u003cgmaxwell at gmail.com\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 11:58 AM, Justus Ranvier \u003cjustusranvier at gmail.com\u003e\n\u003e wrote:\n\u003e \u003e Anyone reading the archives of the list will see about triple the\n\u003e \u003e number of people independently confirming the resource usage problem\n\u003e \u003e than they will see denying it, so I'm not particularly worried.\n\u003e\n\u003e The list has open membership, there is no particular qualification or\n\u003e background required to post here. Optimal use of an information source\n\u003e requires critical reading and understanding the limitations of the\n\u003e medium.

Doubly so because\n\u003e those comments were not actually talking about the same thing I am\n\u003e talking about.\n\u003e\n\u003e Existing implementations are inefficient in many known ways (and, no\n\u003e doubt, some unknown ones). This list is about developing protocol and\n\u003e implementations including improving their efficiency.  When talking\n\u003e about incentives the costs you need to consider are the costs of the\n\u003e best realistic option.  As far as I know there is no doubt from anyone\n\u003e technically experienced that under the current network rules full\n\u003e nodes can be operated with vastly less resources than current\n\u003e implementations use, it's just a question of the relatively modest\n\u003e implementation improvements.\n\u003e\n\u003e When you argue that Bitcoin doesn't have the right incentives (and\n\u003e thus something??) I retort that the actual resource _requirements_ are\n\u003e for the protocol very low. I gave specific example numbers to enable\n\u003e correction or clarification if I've said something wrong or\n\u003e controversial. Pointing out that existing implementations are not that\n\u003e currently as efficient as the underlying requirements and that some\n\u003e large number of users do not like the efficiency of existing\n\u003e implementations doesn't tell me anything I disagree with or didn't\n\u003e already know. Whats being discussed around here contributes to\n\u003e prioritizing improvements over the existing implementations.\n\u003e\n\u003e I hope this clarifies something.\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e Put Bad Developers to Shame\n\u003e Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration\n\u003e Continuously Automate Build, Test \u0026 Deployment\n\u003e Start a new project now.
