I am reading the whitepaper and why do i feel like satoshi is back?  Huh Huh Huh
Btw, how does this witness thing work? Does witness get fees from maintaining the network?

Yes, they get part of the fees paid by users.

The snapshot will be taken on block 437000 in early November (subject to change).


Pick a block number randomly out of range of blocks, e.g. 437000-438000, after the last block in the range is closed.

What for?

Since there will be no ICO, how do you plan to fund this project in short term and long term?
Like I did before for the previous 22 months, plus I allocate 1% for myself.

Did you mean that you will not hire any additional devs in the future? How long can you sustain with your own funds? I am not a skeptic. I just want to understand and evaluate the project's financial situation.

I might move one of my employees to this project.  Don't worry about funding, I can afford building something long term, even if the community is slow to join development.

So when distribution happens, would we need to consolidate all bitcoins to a certain address before a certain block? How would sending from a coinbase wallet work - if a user sent maybe 0.0001 BTC from an address to your address and the Coinbase address contains 100 BTC, would he/she have a weight of 100 BTC during distribution?

IMHO a snapshot of the bitcoin blockchain must be taken at a defined block height to verify the address amounts. Without a snapshot one could easily move his bitcoins around and claim bytes multiple times.

Snapshot at a certain block height is good but combining those bitcoins into one address in order to claim would become impossible.

Yes but I don't see any alternative to a snapshot, the risk that you can game the distribution is too high and this must be prevented at all costs. What's the advantage to combine your bitcoin adresses anyway? In bitcoin best practice is to not re-use addresses. I think it would be better to claim with multiple addresses from your wallet without moving coins around.

Answering the original question, consolidating all bitcoins to a single address is recommended for convenience, otherwise you'll have to claim for each individual address.  If concerned about what blockchain analysts can uncover about you, pass the coins through a mixer prior to consolidating.

Coinbase users will need to create a coinbase vault with the option "I will manage security myself Advanced" and move their coins to this vault.  With this option, your BTC will be on your address, not on coinbase's.

great question because there are quite a few places that use similar systems. It's almost like ETC distribution where exchanges will have large wallets with multiple customers funds that they need to personally allocate. Definitely interested in the answer.
