    This is a historical repository of Satoshi Nakamoto's original bitcoin sourcecode

    • Satoshi Nakamoto originally set a 1MB blocksize limit on Bitcoin to prevent certain resource attacks and keep Bitcoin decentralized. He suggested some ways we can scale Bitcoin by introducing us to the idea of payment channels and ways to replace unconfirmed transactions (RBF) for a fee market before he disappeared. The first version of Bitcoin released had a version of replacing transactions as well https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L434
