We should add a juice cost proportional to the memory size of a transaction's input data and output data. This will incentivise sending small transactions and make it harder to...

Many uses cases require for a process to be somewhat stochastic without requiring a particularly good source of entropy in the cryptographic sense of the word. This issue serves to...

Transactions hang indefinitely after peer syncing

Peer syncing by mentioning `:source` in the `Server` config is reported as successful. I can see the db file grows from 4kb to 996kb which is plausible, genesis state is...

`ConnectionManager.connectToPeer()` uses thread-local store

2

As pointed out today, I find it problematic if a server does that without setting its own store as thread-local first. I think it explains why I was having such...

Running a peer involves two different types of signature: - Protocol defined signing of Peer events (blocks, beliefs etc.) - Signing of controller transactions used to manage the peer (peer...
