This post illustrates the core technique:\n     http://hackingdistributed.com/2015/10/14/bitcoin-ng/\nwhile the whitepaper has all the nitty gritty details:\n     http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.02037\n\nFitting NG on top of the current Bitcoin blockchain is future work that we\nthink is quite possible. NG is compatible with both Bitcoin as is, as well\nas Blockstream-like sidechains, and we currently are not planning to\ncompete commercially with either technology -- we see NG as being\ncomplementary to both efforts. This is pure science, published and shared\nwith the community to advance the state of blockchains and to help them\nreach throughputs and latencies required of cutting edge fintech\napplications. Perhaps it can be adopted, or perhaps it can provide the\nspark of inspiration for someone else to come up with even better solutions.\n\nWe would be delighted to hear your feedback.\n- Ittay Eyal and E. Gün Sirer.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20151014/e2ca2035/attachment.html\u003e"}
