The Bitcoin scaling debate has been entangled in years of deadlock. We propose the community put aside grudges, select a proposal they deem most mature in technology, and endorse their support. Bixin has decided to maintain an independent Bitcoin client code base, Bitcoin Enterprise (BE), to provide an alternative for the community.
1. BE is an open source project initiated by the technical team of Bixin. Members of this team will be in charge of its daily maintenance; we also welcome fans, volunteers, leading developers, and senior engineers to join us in the effort;
2. With BE as the underlying base code, this project will incorporate codes that receive wide endorsement within the community, and release stable Bitcoin client software. We hope that this platform can help enable communication at critical junctures, test out proposals and expedite Bitcoin upgrades;
3. In response to the current scaling dilemma, BE will support both the Segwit scheme which is technically mature and the Segwit2x scheme which follows the New York Agreement and is widely-supported. Meanwhile, we are also open to other scaling schemes, such as Extension Block;
4. To promote Bitcoin’s usage among enterprises, BE will provide an enterprise version. In the future, we will provide more features that cater to businesses so they can deploy nodes efficiently;
5. On Bitcoin’s network infrastructure, BE will add the dnsseeds, as well as high-speed relay network, to improve transmission performance of Bitcoin network. Meanwhile, we will help test and monitor problems of consensus consistency of different versions (including but not limited to bcoin, libbitcoin, BitPrim, BU, XT, Classic, etc.) to establish a defensive consensus framework.
