Hey there! Thanks for your response! One of the reasons to pick a longer window of, say, a couple difficulty periods would be that you can make participation in the pool hedge you against hashrate changes. You're absolutely spot on to think about the impact of pooling w.r.t. variance when fees >

Good Afternoon, You are right, of course, I did nothing to differentiate between the privacy of the connection of the node, the identification of the public IP of the node, and the suspected original of a transaction. If I understand, the reason for only the originating node to rebroadcast w

Using the Tor network to bypass censorship for bitcoin can work but is a very poor solution, the Tor network is very centralized, very small, watched and controlled, with plenty of features that do not apply to other protocols than those made to be used with the Tor Browser, Pieter gave a simple ex
