Chaco helplessly shared Miller's anxiety over the slow response time. But this was South America and speed was seldom a priority. The faint thumping sound of a rotor blade beating the air came toward them, growing louder with each passing moment. A minute later a turquoise helicopter with the letters NUMA painted on its sides swept into view. Where had it come from? Miller wondered, his spirits rising. It obviously didn't have the markings of the Peruvian navy.
It had to be a civilian craft. I'll alert the base commander and go from there. There was nothing more to say. He broke contact with Chaco and hurried back to the silent group of students, who were staring down into the sinkhole with dread. Any attempt at rescue now seemed an empty gesture. Nothing could save Shannon and Miles now. The paper has even been picked up by ethereum researchers, who are investigating how the technology might apply to layer two scaling solution, Plasma.
Instead, accumulators would be deployed at the wallet level, which significantly reduces the hurdle to implementation. UTXO — which stands for unspent transaction output — is the data structure that gives information about all the outstanding bitcoins on the network. This means that, if left unchecked, it could continue to grow, necessitating ever-increasing storage requirements. Currently, a full node requires about gigabytes of storage — just beyond what a conventional laptop can store.
With accumulators, though, full nodes no longer need to store all of the blockchain data in order to order to reach consensus about where coins are on the network. Instead, they can simple provide proofs that data is correct. Because this comes with decreased security assumptions, accumulators are heralded as a way to achieve this without trade-offs.
For example, it already has a working prototype and functioning code. Equally, it uses simple mathematics — hash functions that are already familiar to bitcoin. Still, it uses mathematics that according to Dryja, is comparatively more risky and exotic compared to his own design.
