- | ==== What is a Bluebox Timelord? ==== | ||
- | The Chia consensus protocol is based on Proof of Space and Time (PoST). Farmers provide Proofs of Space with plots on their drives, and Proofs of Time are provided by Timelords that infuse the chain. The (normal) Timelord focusses on creating the Proof of Time that moves the chain forward as fast as possible, but does not optimize for the smallest possible Proof of Time. Bluebox Timelords fulfill this duty; they ex post scan the blockchain to see if there are any uncompressed proofs out there, which it then compactifies and gossips around the whole network. This helps reduce the size of the db. Check out arewecompactifiedyet.live, | ||
