A high-throughput multicast Bitcoin transaction distribution system, with a roadmap towards billions of transactions per second. Features: - Control channel for block header announcements, operational mechanisms, and network topology automation - Separate channels for subtree, subtree grouping, and transaction load - Transaction load sharding by deterministic multicast group membership based on TXID - Transaction specialization filtering and retransmission both unicast and multicast, to connect edge networks only interested in a portion of the transaction load for whatever reason - NACK-based retransmission of missed packets via hash chain gap sequence tracking (per sender, per shard) with automated caching endpoint beacon discovery and tiered network distribution - BGP-AnyCast based transaction ingress Basically all the topology pieces to scale the actual small-world network for Bitcoin miners or transaction processors; dense at the core, with layered and sharded group distribution towards users at the edges. Right now just site or org-scope multicast in planned, but provisions are being made to extend via MP-BGP eventually. For BSV Blockchain but could work for the other Bitcoin variants too, if they ever wanted to scale. | ||
