mircea_popescu: davout well that's the meaningful sense of the term when you're doing graph traversal and whatnot, cause it's where it starts. but in this context it seemed to me it'd rather mean , "clumps of satoshi available to be spent"
mircea_popescu: fucking horrid terminology, we really shouldn't be in a situation where input and outpuit means the same thing
davout: ah, my definition of coinbase is a spendable output that was not created by spending another output, ie. new money
mircea_popescu: coinbase count = the number of available inputs.
davout: you mean the spendable outputs?
mircea_popescu: and i suspect the coinbase count will be, going forward, one of the most important metrics of economic health.
mircea_popescu: ie, you'll never have that many legitimate txns that also consolidate. especially as the size opf bitcoin economy increases.
mircea_popescu: i think for a while gentmenan-ness will prevail and the consolidaitons will be mined in preference
davout: looks to me like this highlights another aspect of the tragedy of the commons thing, because miners don't bear the full cost of a large UTXO, they have no particular incentive to give fee rebates to UTXO-consolidating transactions
mircea_popescu: we're, at least to my eyes, in the situation where we've built something against a sleeping rhino. once it gets up and moves, what happens ?
davout: looks like a limit based on the minimum relay fee
mircea_popescu: "Welcome to Bitcoin SIG We are a group of Mensa members who are interested in cryptocurrency and enjoy discussing the developments occurring in this space."

BingoBoingo: Seriously this is the shit that needs modeled.
mircea_popescu: here, we discusased "potential users" and the blocks haven't been full etc
mircea_popescu: and it can not be underscored enough how that is a much larger problem than the recent block size nonsense.
BingoBoingo: I could see the spam tx limit run up to 100k and be worth dollars
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo think about it this way, the spam tx limit is currently worth very little. if it runs up to 10k it will be worth cents.
mircea_popescu: currently it works with the last 5 digits pretty much being unusable other than for that.
punkman: I don't see why adding more zeros isn't possible, nontrivial sure, probably on the order of changing workfunction

BingoBoingo: Integers all the way down.

mircea_popescu: because you know for a fact as btc will run up to 10k next, the "consumers need this improvement" thing will be lowering the spam limit.
mircea_popescu: there's an entire ugly unspecified state downstream people keep pushing under the rug
mircea_popescu: the system will have to track 2.1 * 10^ 15 items. which, at say half a kb weight each, will cost exabytes to fully move
mircea_popescu: specifically : the total number of bitcoin units of account that can be circulating is 2100000000000000.
mircea_popescu: could be a much stricter limit on scalability than the block size
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i've said this a few times but it readily gets forgotten : coinbase fragmentation is threatening to become a rather serious problem for bitcoin eventually.
