TODO:
Make transactions private. A bit more work, but it's a challenge worth taking on.
I want to make an "optional privacy" system, where the TX can be public or private. Of course private TXs need more bytes, so the fees (although low) will be higher for them.
I need to figure out a way to make the privacy work without a UTXO system, and instead, with a "Balance Sheet" approach.
Move the Networking Code to support win32 as well, as I'm just doing POSIX right now
Maybe move the node system to an async event loop instead of spawning threads.
A potential race could occur if the P2P node receives a new block, or flushes a new block to disk while the user is running a full verify.
Maybe think about how block broadcasting works. Instead of unsolicited broadcasting, maybe only advertise a new height and have peers request the block if they want it. This would reduce bandwidth usage, but it also means that blocks won't propagate as fast, which could lead to more orphaned blocks. It's a tradeoff.
Check if Block FullVerify is actually verifying fully (not missing any conditions).
A loophole in the reorg penalty system could potentially exist where someone broadcasts blocks one-at-a-time. Determine a solution to this.
TO TEST:
Implement Horizen's "Reorg Penalty" system to make it harder for the young chain to be attacked by a powerful miner.
DONE:
I want to move away from the Monero emission. I want to do something a bit radical for cryptocurrency, but I feel like it's necessary to make it more like money:
a constant inflation rate of 1.5% per year. It's lower than fiat (USD is ~2.8% per year), and it additionally doesn't fluctuate during crisis. It's constant.
Move to a GPU algo. RandomX is a good candidate, but CPU mining is not that attractive to anyone but people who actually want to support the project.
Sadly, CPUs won't incentivize people who want to profit, which let's be fair, is the majority of miners.
