-
nioc

apotheon

nioc

I heard that bigger blocks have a higher chance of orphaning. Why is that?
-
Inge
probably because it takes a longer time to validate and propagate?

It takes more time to relay them to other peers. However, this is no longer really true as transactions in these blocks are now referred by hash, and not relayed alongside the block.

(assuming other nodes already have the txes, which is usually thw case)
-
Guest6576
thx. what incentive do miners have to keep blocks small?
-
sech1
It takes more time to add bigger block to the blockchain due to how lmdb works
-
sech1
so it still propagates slower
-
Guest6576
ok, thx.
-
sech1
I see the difference of up to 0.5 seconds between empty and full blocks before they are propagated
-
sech1
on my node
-
sech1
also, the code that checks an incoming block also double checks all transactions before adding it, so it's slower for full blocks
-
sech1
But a faster server fixes it. Blocks are sent over the network with only transaction hashes as mooo said, so it's fast there

Guest6576
ok

got a scammer on the line. almost snagged me in a remote work gig. debating if i should mess with them
-
gingeropolous
dude had me create an account at a credit union, then wanted me to hand over credentials. after i called them out, they "want to make a deal", claims they can deposit 20k in the account
-
gingeropolous
i assume its just an identity theft scam. i dunno what else you can do with a fresh bank account.
-
cornfeedhobo
no idea what you could do
-
gingeropolous
perhaps they had a hack into the system, and with my credentials they could make my account appear to have $20k? so then I would make a withdraw to them ...
-
gingeropolous
hrm, perhaps semi plausible based on the fact that they chose a credit union for their ... whatever. credit union probably has a lower tier of security budget
-
ndorf
variant of the good old "cashier's check" scam? they deposit a fake check, it takes weeks for the funds to be reversed
-
gingeropolous
yeah, thats what im thinkin
