1 2016-07-03 04:48:35 0|gmaxwell|Fun fact: Mainchain has only 168223 times the total work in the testnet chain.
2 2016-07-03 05:08:45 0|helo|5 orders of magnitude... that's in the ballpark of cpu -> asic :D
3 2016-07-03 05:16:37 0|phantomcircuit|gmaxwell, i suspect that's partially a result of the testnet chain being twice as long
4 2016-07-03 05:16:53 0|phantomcircuit|how much of the difference is from diff 1 blocks?
5 2016-07-03 05:34:05 0|helo|wouldn't diff 1 blocks be negligible total work?
6 2016-07-03 05:51:40 0|gmaxwell|yep, they're negligble work.
7 2016-07-03 18:29:47 0|sipa|it only works for unconfirmed transactions not in the mempool, right?
8 2016-07-03 18:33:25 0|luke-jr|yes, IIRC
9 2016-07-03 18:33:34 0|luke-jr|but nothing stops someone from having and mining it
10 2016-07-03 18:33:46 0|sipa|sure
