A correction to my previous email (because people are quoting me on
r/btc and what I wrote was wrong)
This statement is incorrect:
> Given that Testnet has a smaller number of nodes and less difficulty,
this could result in some miners using 0.13.0+ mining blocks which do
not propagate well and t

There were bridge nodes being run on testnet at one point to prevent
forks

I haven't investigated, but you may be seeing segwit-invalid blocks...0.13.0+
nodes will enforce segwit as it activated some time ago on testnet, 0.12.X
nodes will not.

The issue is due to Segwit blocks since Testnet has already activated
Segwit. 0.12.x- nodes will receive a Segwit block with all of the
witnesses stripped. When they relay this block to a 0.13.0+ node, the
block will be rejected because those have Segwit functionality and
require the witnesses to b
We notice some reorgs in Bitcoin testnet, while reorgs in testnet are common
and may be part of different tests and experiments, it seems the forks are not
created by a single user and multiple blocks were mined by different users in
each chain. My first impression was that the problem was rela
Great stuff, although the ordering of the sections seems a little bit confusing.
I think it would be clearer to put the "Creation of proofs" section
before "Proof verification", maybe even before "Proof format" if a
high level defintion of "full tx size proof" is provided before.
Also, in "For th
