- fast confirmations
- increased capacity of txs/second
- reduced size of blockchain
- ability to re-transmitting tx if the fee is insufficient (adding/increasing fee after tx was done).

If all that was done on the level of blockchain, without any sidechains etc I'd be pretty happy.

Agree with this. but for me the most important is fast confirmations and increased capacity of txs/second. because i'm gambler need fast confirmations


How fast would be enough for purposes such as gambling? There are reasons why confirmations are not instant. But I agree, 10 min is probably too long these days.

To me bitcoin is growing and I would like to see lot of focus put to the privacy part. When it is done so, then people will always be sure of the safety of the coins they have. I will also like to see the bitcoin in general coming up with a body whose mandate will be regulatory and therefore be able to control the flow of the coins in the economy. A control to mining especially is very important.

I wish that the confirmations get faster because that's not useful to everyone to wait at least half of hour to making it's deal or trade, and as Bitcoin's looking to become a global currency it should facilitate the transactions for every user

It would be nice if we could include in the Bitcoin protocol some sort of reward system for running a full node wallet.  I think that would increase the network's security by encouraging more users to run a full node and take some of the power away from the big mining corporations that have most of the control over the network.

for me the most important change will be the faster confirmation times. that's something that can get the adoption even to another level. i only don't think we'll ever see this being implemented.

I want Bitcoin to be popular. I want it to be watched carefully by the government but not stolen by the government. (I don't want the government stealing from us) etc.

- increased capacity of txs/second
- reduced size of blockchain

I want to have my cake and eat it to! These are 2 conflicting requirements.
Am I correct in stating that the size of the blockchain is what makes it so secure?  If this is the case, why would someone want to reduce the size of it making the whole system more vulnerable to attach.

Assume every change can be done and feature added without any drama like with recent block size, and that it would not require hard-fork (even if it would).

As one can guess based on my signature, I would like to see more privacy features added to bitcoin. Also shorter confirmation time (e.g. 2 min) would be good.

What about you?
i would like bitcoin is more easily obtained, in mines and the transaction faster, faster and more efficient confirmation. but I really hope now is that the more expensive the price change Grin

I would want to see the confirmations being much faster than they are right now. That's the top adjustment I am hoping for. Furthermore I would love to see a good solution being implemented to get rid of the blocksize debate. It's about that time something must happen. These are my main things I want to see get implemented/solved.

Shorter time confirmation will be very very needed,

sometimes it kind of frustrated me when i want to do quick transaction and i need to keep waiting for confirmation and maybe more bitcoin atm..

For sure for me the most important and immediate improvement that can be made to bitcoin is the find the way which will be possible the diminution of the time needed for the confirmation. Naturally that this time is connected with the production with an block and (being not an expert i this field mine is only a desire) this parameter normally must be controlled only by the technology seems almost impossible to something in this direction. But this cannot make me to stop in telling here this big a boring problem of bitcoin.

Then, and this can be perfectly solved if wanted, the second thing I want to see solved is the respect of the order in the confirmations. There are transaction who finish their process within minutes having its first confirmation with the first block created and then other transactions which must see 10-20-50-100 or even more blocks created before arriving of he One which will save the authors of those from the infinite waiting time in front a blockchain.info to see if their send bitcoin have the first confirmation. I understand that everything in this world is driven by the profit but if EVERY correct transaction with have its confirmation why cannot have it in the time which belong to it? The profit have from its confirmation don't change in time. So is the same whether will be when its turn and whether after one month. Why don't respect the line?

1) Faster Transaction and Confirmation.
2) A place that could save your bitcoin safely and free (like bank)
3) A debit card for bitcoins Cheesy

I don't know if the concept has been abandoned but I believe that what would be most beneficial to bitcoin, at the moment, would be some form of turing and smart contract functionality that could eliminate the need for escrow services.  Bitcoin needs those capabilities to keep up with the trends in blockchain technology or it risks falling behind and becoming an antiquated platform, in my uninvested opinion.

I would love to see shorten confirmation time I am selling my bitcoin to one local seller and some times it took an hour or two to confirm that payment will have to go online from time to time to see and check if the transaction has been confirmed this is the feature that i want to change on bitcoin

this is hard coded, it will not be done ever, like the supply limit or anything else so crucial that can alter too much the bitcoin environment

at best you can hope for somethign via sidechain, with a token that have 1 min confirmations time, but then orphan rate would increase for that chain, dunno how they can handle this...

creating some way to put the public address in the back ground of apps where people dont need to know it, which lets face it is pretty much impossible to remember anyway.  I dont know what alternative we could use that would be unique but i supoose somthing like an email address or smaller number like a bank account number.

The topic is what would I like to see, whether it's feasible to implement or not.
Perhaps someone will come up with outside-the-box solution at some point. We already have ideas of pruned block chain and segregated witness.

i was thinking about a small feature, that let you see instantly how much you spent/or how much coins has arrived into your wallet(i mean the total sum) in a certain time-frame

because right now everything i see are only the output and imput, thetotal imput and output must be calculated each time, this for a wallet with plenty of transactions can be useful
