Well here is an interesting article. "In 10 Years We Won't Have Blockchains" The idea is, that in future the blockchains evolve the way that they are no more a linear timely arranged chain of blocks, but a some kind of a mesh of transactions. So blockchains are then no more called blockchains, because it is misleading name for them. And the advance of this kind of a new structure is efficiency. Faster transactions and so on. The writer of the article does not tell details how such system would work, but the idea sounds interesting. Just like before 2009 we did not know exactly how blockchain works, but the idea truly was interesting. I think Monero team must think about this. This could be future. And if Monero was first to take it in use. That would be nice. In 10 Years We Won't Have BlockchainsI predict that in 10 years blockchain technology will improve to a level that calling it "blockchain" will no longer be a useful term. Let's think about this a moment. Why do we call it a blockchain? The three most interesting parts of the blockchain are: Consensus mechanisms Management mechanisms (meta-consensus of how to manage future improvements to the overall chain) The structure of the blockchain itself The last one will affect how large the network can get, how fast transaction times will happen, and so on. And the structure of the blockchain is why we call it a "blockchain." So, what do we mean by "blockchain?" Let's break out the two component terms: Block: A bunch of transactions bundled together. Chain: The blocks cryptographically connected in a linear fashion. Bye-bye blocksI think in the future the block will not be needed. In its place will be a system where transactions are linked together and can confirm previous transactions. In order to submit your next transaction, you need to validate others in the queue. In order to get what you want (your transaction submitted), you have to do some work for others. Why do it this way? Transaction times in this model would be faster than, for example, bitcoin's transaction times today. The miner is technically removed and each transaction validates past transactions. Transaction times can actually go down as more people use the system. Ciao to chainsI also think that in the future, the chain won't be a single directional string of blocks. I think it will look more like a mesh (or graph). Maybe we could have a non-linear set of of branches that go in several different directions, where many parallel transactions are happening. So, maybe we'll call it a transaction graph. I've also seen the term Tangle (in the IOTA protocol) for early similar concepts. Maybe we'll call it "the graph" much the same way we speak of "the cloud" today. We will all save information and transactions into this global graph (whether we know it or not). Enter the DAGThe closest thing I've seen so far that matches my imagined path is a directed acyclic graph. From Wikipedia: "In mathematics and computer science, a directed acyclic graph is a finite directed graph with no directed cycles." A DAG model works differently than a blockchain. A common blockchain requires miners to maintain blocks, but a DAG wouldn't need either proof-of-work or blocks. New models of management would be needed. So, there is a lot of work to do. But this model theoretically gets better as new nodes are added. So it may be an improved model for both fees (or, in ethereum parlance, "gas") and scalability over current blockchain models. In the future, we may have something that does what a blockchain does, only better. There are still challenges to this model, so I don't know how this will play out. But, I think this design is intriguing, and I'm curious to see how it develops. https://www.coindesk.com/10-years-wont-blockchains/

They are way ahead of you the curve. Go to getmonero.org and read some blogs. Or just hold your nose, and go to reddit, where the news breaks these days.

Great if the team really is aware and even ahead. Could you give some links on getmonero.org about this issue. There is too much info to search for me.

worth read MoneroV: A Trap Laid for Monero Users? https://monetse.com/bitcoinschannel/monerov-a-trap-laid-for-monero-users-Fork mania has arrived for the blockchain network Monero. There are plans to fork and provide an airdrop for holders of the altcoin during early March, dubbed MoneroV. The cash grab could be a way to uncover the individual identities of those who use Monero if they fall into the trap. Here, we outline the facts about MoneroV (XMV) and why you should cautiously consider claiming these coins. What’s so bad about on airdrop on the Monero network? It’s free money right? Not necessarily; some people say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. As bitcoin has experienced, sometimes the promise of free money has resulted in malware or phishing attacks. Furthermore, the launch of XMV produces adverse effects similar to the attack described in MRL-001 during September 2014. The privacy of users may be compromised because, if their same address is on both the Monero and MoneroV blockchain, when they spend any transaction in any of those chains it will produce the same key image. A key image, in simple terms, allows the Monero network to confirm whether an output has been spent or not quickly. How Does the Attack Work?...........

Suppose you have an address that your coins are on when then fork happens. Now you have the same private key holding funds on both the main chain and the fork chain. You decide to make a transaction on the main chain. Your client picks 4 random inputs for ring signature partners plus your actual input. A B C D E are the ring signatories for your transaction on main chain. Which one is the real input? Nobody knows. Now you go over to the fork chain and you use that same private key to author a transaction on that that chain. Your client picks 4 random inputs for ring signature partners plus your actual input. F G C H I are the ring signatories for your transaction on the fork chain. Now which ring signature input was the real one and which were the decoys?

tbh, this read just made me more in favour of xmv. It appears as a one-sided smear. And actually what they were quoted by are excellent responses. I'd be very happy to see the full response of monerov's team if Jaimy would release it.

I'm a little behind the times, are we going to see zk-STARKS in Monero?
While Monero’s lead developer, Riccardo Spagni, has criticized Zcash in the past, calling it a “complete security farce,” this new system of implementing zero knowledge proofs may avoid some of the serious issues that Zcash’s current zk-SNARKs system has. Spagni told CoinDesk that Monero will integrate zk-STARKs “if and when it’s usable. https://www.deepdotweb.com/2017/10/11/monero-considers-implementing-zk-starks/I don't think our community is wedded to any particular technology. We have a vision of providing private fungible value storage and transfer at the best scale that technology currently allows for while using only safe and well vetted techniques. We also have very healthy governance and a well balanced and rational community who all have a similar vision, so forks tend to be a breeze. If it turns out that ZK-Starks is the bees knees it will almost certainly be implemented here. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmemes.ucoz.com%2F_nw%2F56%2F68732727.jpg&t=665&c=7cj9vqf7-4DK4w) It is not usable, and doesn't look to become usable in the foreseeable future. IIRC transactions would take like 20 minutes or something to compute. I don't remember the details, just that it isn't currently viable.
Holy shit I read it was long but really? Do you have a link on that? BTW what is the longest calculated transaction time thats currently in use for comparisons sake? ...Clipped...

So afa I'm concerned it's pie in the sky and BC tech could morph into anything or nothing at all for the foreseeable future. How Does the Attack Work?...........

Long compute times and higher fees for especially sensitive transactions would be fine. RingCT2 or its direct successor might be used alongside zk-STARKs, or one class embedded with the other. I have no idea if this can be done without creating new information flows with adverse privacy implications for either class of transaction. This has probably been discussed elsewhere.

I completely agree with the bolded, as for the rest of your statement I have no clue but would like to know as well. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) As I stated, I don't recall the particulars, just my conclusions.

It probably got culled from the speculation thread lol, sometimes we can shoot ourselfs in the foot by posting in there and forgetting the off topic will disappear. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) AFA searching I have spent far to much time trying to find the theoretical debate of speculative and/or prediction paths way back in the mid nineties that I've inferred to over the years that we are seeing in effect ATM. So my online time has been turning into work instead of pleasure and I don't like that! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
