Andreas M. Antonopoulos	bf56c59a85	Merge pull request #746 from jerzybrzoska/patch-3 ... ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner"	2021-01-19 11:20:38 -06:00
Hennadii Stepanov	5d50a93ee6	ch10: Align target description with the actual implementation ... See: 43f3ada27b/src/pow.cpp (L86-L88)	2021-01-19 15:10:02 +02:00
jerzybrzoska	65dd6b8be0	ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner" ... It is too assuming to suppose that the gender of "each miner" is masculine. Hence I propose to use [singular they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they). More on singular they [here](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/use-the-singular-they/). 'He' was substituted with 'they' only when it refers to "each miner", i.e. miners in general, and not when it refers to Jing. In the latter case I have left he unchanged.	2021-01-19 13:05:10 +01:00
Ning Shang	7284634837	Nit: exponentially -> significantly ... In the dice rolling example, because there are only two dice, the phrase 'exponentially more' could cause confusion. It feels better to be a bit handwavy here and just say 'significantly more'.	2021-01-18 20:51:21 -08:00
Ning Shang	c942d694b6	ch07: Typo fixes ... Fix minor typos related to 'equal to' and 'less/greater than'.	2021-01-18 20:34:24 -08:00
Ning Shang	06f1a947e9	chp04: xref <<vanity_minor_code>> seems better for note on std:random_device ... Because 'std::random_device' appears in xref vanity_miner_code as opposed to xref vanity_miner_run, it feels more appropriate to use the former in this note.	2021-01-18 20:25:31 -08:00
Ning Shang	555be41b2b	ch07: 2-of-5 instead of 2-of-3 for Mohammed's example ... The example is a 2-of-5 multisig, according to the Pay-to-Script-Hash example description earlier, and the P2SH example a few lines below.	2021-01-18 20:00:19 -08:00

Hennadii Stepanov	a8c672ffb5	ch04: Fix mathematical terms ... 1. EC multiplication is a "one-way" function, not a "trapdoor" one. There is no information that makes reverse function easy. See: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function 2. The "discrete logarithm" is more usual term for the reverse operation for EC multiplication.	2021-01-15 09:23:51 +02:00

Murch	8072effb93	Correct transaction costs in segwit example ... The transaction fees in the example were off. 2-of-3 P2SH inputs are between 293 and 297 bytes (293 bytes if both signatures have low-R, 296 bytes if one signature has high-R, 297 bytes if both signatures have high-R) and P2SH outputs are 32 bytes. 2-of-3 P2WSH (native segwit) inputs are between 104 and 104.5 vbytes (416–418 WU, depending on low-R/high-R as above) and P2WSH outputs are 43 bytes. The transaction header has 10 bytes for non-segwit transactions and 42 WU for segwit transactions. Source: https://github.com/BitGo/unspents/blob/master/src/dimensions.ts#L69 I have updated the numbers in the example and amended the conclusion which did not match the new numbers. Calculation details follow. ----- Let's assume that the wallet is using signature grinding and will always produce signatures with low-R: •Without Segregated Witness: Transaction A using 2-of-3 P2SH inputs and P2SH outputs: 3*293 + 10 + 2*32 = 953 953 * 30 = 28,590 Transaction B using 2-of-3 P2SH inputs and P2SH outputs: 2*293 + 10 + 3*32 = 692 692 * 30 = 20,760 •With Segregated Witness: Transaction A using 2-of-3 P2WSH (native segwit) inputs and outputs: 3*104 + 10.5 + 2*43 = 408.5 408.5 * 30 = 12,255 Transaction B using 2-of-3 P2WSH (native segwit) inputs and P2WSH outputs: 2*104 + 10.5 + 3*43 = 347.5 347.5 * 30 = 10,425	2020-10-13 23:11:13 -04:00
