BIP 110, Miner Centralisation and Node Is Law - Renaud Cuny #594

Is there a credible threat of Bitcoin Mining Monopolies?

$ BTC 68,183

Block Height 937,649

Today's guest on the show is Renaud Cuny, creator of the Bitcoin Analytics Dashboard 'The Bitcoin Portal' and writer of the Block Space Weekly BIP 110 series.

Renaud has a 25 year background in the telecommunications industry and was inspired to develop the Bitcoin Portal because he felt there was a lack of transparency regarding the amount of non-financial data being included into Bitcoin blocks.

The dashboard tracks the amount of spam data being included in blocks, which currently accounts for around 40% of used block space.

Renaud also discusses his simulation of BIP110, a proposal that aims to limit spam on the Bitcoin network and shares his findings.
