Eine „enorme Vielfalt möglicher Transaktionsarten“ – Ein Blick auf das Gespräch zwischen Nakamoto und Andresen

Der Bitcoin-Mempool, auch bekannt als Transaktionsrückstand des Netzwerks, ist immer noch verstopft 390,000 Transaktionen, die darauf warten, von Minern verarbeitet zu werden. Um den Mempool zu löschen, mehr als 190 Blöcke müssen abgebaut werden. As the scaling issues continue to plague the network, a conversation between former Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen and the network’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto has been making rounds. Andresen expressed his concern about the software’s scripting language, which made him “nervous.” He also pointed out that there could be ways to “abuse” the scripts-in-a-transaction scheme.

Nakamoto and Andresen’s Bitcoin Scripting Language Conversation From 2010

Im Juni 17, 2010, fast 13 Jahre zuvor, Satoshi Nakamoto discussed the inventor’s brainchild with former Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen. Andresen had expressed a strong interest in the project and was working on a tool to analyze wallet data to “understand better exactly how Bitcoin works.” During their conversation, Andresen also expressed his concern about Bitcoin’s scripting language, which made him uneasy.

Andresen conveyed his apprehension about Bitcoin’s scripting language, Angabe, “First: it make me a little nervous that bitcoin has a scripting language in it, even though it is a really simple scripting language (no loops, no pointers, nothing but math and crypto). It makes me nervous because it is more complicated, and complication is the enemy of security.” Additionally, he noted that the language’s intricacy could make it challenging to create a second, kompatible Umsetzung.

Nakamoto’s reply to Andresen’s concerns is frequently cited, as the inventor emphasized that Bitcoin’s core design was established for the entirety of its lifespan. “The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime,” Nakamoto replied in the forum post. “Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of.”

Nakamoto continued:

The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time. It would have been an explosion of special cases. The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates. The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender’s conditions are met.

While talking about the topic, Andresen raised a hypothetical scenario in which someone could flood the Bitcoin network with millions of transactions to share a Lady Gaga video with their friends. In response, Nakamoto explained that transaction fees were one of the ways to prevent such an occurrence. The inventor also noted that there were other measures that could be taken if necessary.

Nakamoto also revealed that numerous transaction types were crafted long before his conversation with Andresen. “The design supports a tremendous variety of possible transaction types that I designed years ago,” the anonymous inventor said. “Escrow transactions, bonded contracts, third party arbitration, multi-party signature, etc. If Bitcoin catches on in a big way, these are things we’ll want to explore in the future, but they all had to be designed at the beginning to make sure they would be possible later.”

As the Bitcoin network continues to experience congestion, some individuals are wary of the potential for different transaction types. Many are wholeheartedly opposed to the trend of BRC20 tokens and Ordinal inscriptions. While developers are actively discussing the matter, a solution has yet to be found for the 380,000 transactions currently waiting to be confirmed by miners. jedoch, the conversation between Nakamoto and Andresen provides insight into the inventor’s confidence in Bitcoin’s ability to handle issues such as spamming the network with millions of transactions to share a Lady Gaga video.
