Like the minimum hardware required to run a full node and the target performance of such configuration. This is the example he gives for a Bitcoin node: For example, a min spec might look something like this:
Target hardware resource cost: $200 Target worst case time to validate a block: 10 seconds Minimum network I/O: 2 Mb/s Minimum disk I/O: 2 Mb/s Minimum CPU: 5,000 MIPS Minimum RAM: 1 GB
The definition of a "node" is different though. You can indeed run a non-mining Monero node on a Raspberry Pi 1B if you really want to. Total hardware cost: ~$30.00. There are even cheaper options available that are faster too, like the PINE A64 for $15.00. What exactly are you trying to specify? It is meant to spec a non-mining full validating node on the Monero network. The idea is to establish a goal that a monero node should be able to validate a minimum of N TPS, and the hardware needed to do that should cost no more than, say $50. This value would represent the minimum hardware needed to process the stated number of transactions. And then, when evaluating changes to the protocol we could have an idea of how those changes would influence the number of nodes on the network based on the impact it would have on $$$ needed to setup a node. The value of the hardware is not the only thing that matters, of course, but it is an important one.

For normal transactions yes, this is independent from how you validate blocks. For the coinbase transactions, from the top of my head I don't see how it can work.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

WARNING: Always check you're using https when connecting to xmr.to, a malicious TOR exit node made a victim already.
Somebody was recently scammed of a significant amount of XMRs when he tried to use XMR.TO over TOR. After a little investigation, we found out what happened: the TOR exit node was malicious, and created an order going to a different address than that requested by the victim. The victim payed the XMR, but never got the BTC, as they were sent by XMR.TO to the scammer address. XMR.TO had no way to know something wrong was going on. This type of man-in-the-middle attack is not possible when you use https connection. What the exit node did is to downgrade the connection to a normal http, and sadly the victim must not have noticed the lack of secured connection in his browser. The malicious exit node has the IP 109.201.154.186. Be safe: ALWAYS check within your browser that your connection is secure when you connect to XMR.TO. If it's just http, that's a phishing version and you're not talking to XMR.TO directly. This should always look like this:

It was probably an old BTC scam: Look for any BTC addresses in the content and replace them with your own. There was similar malware a while back that did the same thing using the copy-paste buffer on Windows.

For normal transactions yes, this is independent from how you validate blocks. For the coinbase transactions, from the top of my head I don't see how it can work. It can work as long amounts are visible (no ring ct) and coin-age is not used. A staking hit is recorded as a spend transaction which records the key image as spent. The stake reward is added to the transaction outputs.

My blockchain got corrupted when the electricity stopped. I resynced from scratch and it took about 24 hours. Previously I resynced from scratch a few times on the same machine on the same USB3 external hdd and on the same internet connection for 1-3 hours (it was on bitmonerod 0.9.0 tagged and before tagged, not 0.9.1). What could be the issue with the slow sync this time?

I'm not sure I'm understanding. Are you using the same version as before? What CPU do you have?

Best missive yet IMHO. Great update, and great work from the devs. I'm sure other will join me in saying thanks to David and eizh, and congratulations to luigi1111 and ArticMine. The project is in good hands. In for the long haul. Q

Has this been noted? https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/commit/fcac8d07742891cedcf94b982e5094315132f62aAlso a Question for Howard Chu, After looking at your code I'm wondering if you had a hand in the original cryptonote code? BTW, Congrats luigi1111 and ArticMine!!! Your contributions have been immense.

Update from Shen Noether regarding Ring CT implementation for Monero. I have to admit I spotted this one a bit late:
