This is some old, but I stumpled over it, so here my two cents:
I think "deduplication" is the solution you're looking for. Due to the fact you need to keep each node in its usersapce independent AND at the same time you don't want to prune the node...

Dorier is correct that Neutrino/SPV nodes are not full nodes, because they do not verify the entirety of the blockchain, leaving potential room for attack. However, the portrayal that Neutrino is no better than other SPV modes is not correct.
Neutri...

What you are looking at is just an implementation detail that you really don't need to worry about. It's just converting from an internal format (which may use different coordinate systems and bit lengths, especially for tests) to the standard outpu...

It is much easier to formally verify the behavior space of Bitcoin script vs. Solidity.
For example, the DAO project suffered from reentrancy vulnerabilities, given that one could not predict the behavior of anonymous smart contracts when they were...

Neither client concretely checks that it's on the wrong chain: BCH and BSV had an unclean split.
Neither changed the network magic, nor did either change their transaction format, so their nodes continued to communicate and transactions remained rep...

No, they don't do that and you are reading those answers incorrectly.

The attack described in that paper consists on re-mining a block to claim less fees and incentivize other miners to continue it instead of mining in the honest chain. The thr...
