- People learning Bitcoin transaction and consensus mechanics
- Worth noticing
- The shared experiment is capped at 128 blocks and 512 KiB, including fork blocks.
Field notes
The page documents a deliberately bounded environment: lab BTC has no real-world value, broadcasts are centralized, encoding is simplified, and the network is not connected to Bitcoin mainnet. Its stated mining setup uses a fixed difficulty of about 4,096 hashes per block, a 50 lab BTC subsidy, and a two-block maturity distance. Initial shared state is capped at 128 blocks, including forks, and 512 KiB; contract and application experiments are labeled as later work.
