longDescription= ''
|
|
Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
|
|
completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
|
|
parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
|
|
with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
|
|
|
|
The Bitcoin Unlimited (BU) project seeks to provide a voice to all
|
|
stakeholders in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
Every node operator or miner can currently choose their own blocksize limit
|
|
by modifying their client. Bitcoin Unlimited makes the process easier by
|
|
providing a configurable option for the accepted and generated blocksize via
|
|
a GUI menu. Bitcoin Unlimited further provides a user-configurable failsafe
|
|
setting allowing you to accept a block larger than your maximum accepted
|
|
blocksize if it reaches a certain number of blocks deep in the chain.
|
|
|
|
The Bitcoin Unlimited client is not a competitive block scaling proposal
|
|
like BIP-101, BIP-102, etc. Instead it tracks consensus. This means that it
|
|
tracks the blockchain that the hash power majority follows, irrespective of
|
|
blocksize, and signals its ability to accept larger blocks via protocol and
|
|
block versioning fields.
|
|
|
|
If you support an increase in the blocksize limit by any means - or just
|
|
support Bitcoin conflict resolution as originally envisioned by its founder -
|
|
consider running a Bitcoin Unlimited client.
