Title: Public Contributions to Bitcoin Post by: MineSweep on September 11, 2021, 09:28:18 PM I have been following the bitcoin improvement space for five years and found proposals to the consensus layer of the network to be most valuable. The underlying architecture of consensus is proof of work mining where asic circuits are constantly running to artificially validate the network. Achieving network synchronization is key to an overall great netowork health. Circuits that do this are computational inefficient thus exhausting greater energy My contribution is to propose a bip that would recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer hidden under silicon.
non-technical responses frowned upon Title: Re: Public Contributions to Bitcoin Post by: pooya87 on September 12, 2021, 02:50:12 AM asic circuits are constantly running to artificially validate the network. ASICs are not "validating the network". They are constantly computing a hash to compete for a monetary reward. The validation is done by the nodes.Quote My contribution is to propose a bip that would recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer hidden under silicon. Since this is a hardware related improvement and has nothing to do with Bitcoin or its consensus rules, there is no need for a BIP. You have to contact manufacturers. Title: Re: Public Contributions to Bitcoin Post by: n0nce on September 12, 2021, 11:13:18 PM I read the post a few times and I'm still not sure what your question or other purpose of this topic is.
My contribution is to propose a bip that would recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer hidden under silicon. So you're saying you found a way to build more efficient ASICs?As was mentioned before, that's got nothing to do with the Bitcoin protocol, thus no need for a BIP (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals). A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) is a design document for introducing features or information to Bitcoin. If you want to discuss your idea here or ask questions about it, we need more details, since I have no idea how exactly you plan to 'recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer'. Also, are you saying the transistor layer is 'hidden under silicon'? Because that's not how ICs are manufactured. The transistors are not hidden under silicon, they're in the silicon and they're not hidden. Or am I missing something?

Since this is a hardware related improvement and has nothing to do with Bitcoin or its consensus rules, there is no need for a BIP. You have to contact manufacturers. Also OP should be aware that this won't result in less electricity usage overall as this would result in more miners coming online, supplanting the less efficient ones. Title: Re: Public Contributions to Bitcoin Post by: NotATether on September 13, 2021, 10:44:09 AM BIPs do not influence the design and manufacturing of ASICs. Actually, there is not even a design standard that ASIC manufacturers follow, it's a free-for-all kind of environment.
Quote My contribution is to propose a bip that would recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer hidden under silicon. Can you be more specific on how you want to recircuit the electricity and where to, for what purpose? |
