I'll try and hurry up and release the sourcecode as soon as possible to serve as a reference to help clear up all these implementation questions.

Cryptography DSL.
Lifted from a press release issued back in 2008.

Cryptol is a domain specific language for the design,
implementation and verification of cryptographic algorithms,
developed over the past decade by Galois for the United States
National Security Agency. It has been used successfully in a
number of projects, and is also in use at Rockwell Collins, Inc.

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) allow subject-matter experts to
design solutions in using familiar concepts and
constructs. Cryptol, as a DSL, allows domain experts in
cryptography to design and implement cryptographic algorithms
with a high degree of assurance in the correctness of their
design, and at the same time, producing a high performance
implementation of their algorithms.

Note: I am not in any way affiliated with Galois inc, and not, myself, a user of the Cryptol language. I'm posting it because I thought LtU might find this an interesting thing to discuss.

“Both Satoshi and I objected that [Bitcoin] wouldn't scale at 1MB. Hal was concerned about a potential DoS attack though, and after discussion, Satoshi agreed... But all 3 of us agreed that 1MB had to be temporary because it would never scale.”

"There are scalability solutions of various kinds. What they all have in common is that the faster and higher capacity they get, the more they look like a completely centralized payment processing service. I’ll go over a few options.

First there is what they’re calling the lightning network. I think I’m going to call it the “ripple” protocol after the first altcoin implementation that made it work. Technically it’s sound. But I don’t think it’s going to capture use cases as well as the developers hope it will. What it will do is create a drive toward conventional-style banking".

"Satoshi on scalability

2010–07–14 21:10:52 UTC — Original Post

“The design outlines a lightweight client that does not need the full block chain. In the design PDF it’s called Simplified Payment Verification. The lightweight client can send and receive transactions, it just can’t generate blocks. It does not need to trust a node to verify payments, it can still verify them itself.

The lightweight client is not implemented yet, but the plan is to implement it when it’s needed. For now, everyone just runs a full network node.

I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it’s not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.
At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.”".
