Parameters of Bitcoins

Faster Block Confirmations

With a target spacing reduced to 8 minutes from Bitcoin's current 10-minute target spacing, blocks will be mined more frequently. This adjustment could significantly expedite transaction confirmations.

Shorter Target Timespan

A target timespan of 16 minutes ensures a quicker completion of a set number of blocks. This change enhances the blockchain's responsiveness to network changes and enables faster adaptation to variations in hash rate.

Network Stability and Security

Modifying fundamental parameters may impact the stability and security of the network. Rapid changes could introduce vulnerabilities or affect the network's resilience against potential attacks.

Economic Considerations

Altered parameters have the potential to influence economic incentives for miners.

Technical Specifications

Target Spacing: 16 minutes
Target Timespan: Approximately 22,160 minutes (1,385 blocks at 16 minutes each)
Faster Transaction Confirmations: Achieved with an 8-minute block time
Enhanced Security: Increased confirmations required (10 confirmations) for heightened security
Responsive Difficulty Adjustment: Maintains a 22,160-minute target timespan with an adaptive algorithm
Economic Sustainability: Balanced incentives for miners and controlled issuance through halving mechanisms
Community Governance: Embraces decentralized governance mechanisms for active community participation
Scalability and Accessibility: Shorter block time and responsive difficulty adjustment contribute to enhanced scalability and user accessibility

Security Enhancements

Fixed Code Words Vulnerability

Fixed issues related to backdoor seed phrases that had the potential to expose Bitcoin wallets containing 12-word seed phrases and private keys.

Removed issue with recovery phrase words in recent Bitcoin Core updates 2014-2023.

Master Key Phrases Removal

Eliminated master key seed phrases associated with Bitcoin for enhanced security in Bitcoins.
