Document technical differences with Bitcoin #91

Open xaur opened 4 years ago

xaur commented 4 years ago

Document differences in malleability fix, mining (nonce space), opcodes, etc.

When consensus change to add block commitments activates, also document it in context of comparing with efforts in Bitcoin (talks about stuffing that into OP_RETURN).

Alternatively to hosting it in dcrdocs, host it in the upcoming dev docs site.

Motivation: I guess that Decred hides many tech gems that are not often discussed, known or understood. Expose them, show how Decred engineering tradition prefers robust solutions over crutches and "temporary" workarounds. Expose it please. It will be useful for already insterested devs to learn how Decred works, and can also work as a magnet for new talent that values solid engineering.

This issue might be a better fit for dcrdevdocs.
