Bitcoin May Have Just Solved Its Scaling Problem

8/14/2017

This article discusses how the recent development of a new technology called Schnorr signatures could potentially solve the scalability issue faced by Bitcoin. It explains that Schnorr signatures allow for the aggregation of multiple transaction signatures into a single signature, reducing the overall size of transactions on the blockchain. This, in turn, would increase the transaction capacity of the Bitcoin network without compromising security. The article also explores the potential impact of this advancement on Bitcoin's adoption and its ability to compete with other cryptocurrencies. Overall, it suggests that the adoption of Schnorr signatures could be a significant step towards addressing Bitcoin's scalability problem.
