Fragile state - a development story (technical).
Some of you might have heard that RC will become part of consensus some time in the future. The plan is to make all necessary changes first, then leave it with no changes for one whole hardfork...

Inside HIVE to HBD conversions (slightly technical).
When I read first article of @edicted about conversions, I was sure I have to write detailed description of how it works. However literally as I finished reading I've noticed price of Hive falling on internal

Are custom_json going to be more expensive now?
The question from title showed up many times recently. If you know the Betteridge's law of headlines then you'd expect the answer to be "no". Well, not this time :o) At least the answer is not

Future optimizations (speculation)
Some of the following changes are very likely possibilities, others might be in the realm of science fiction with strong lean towards the latter. I'll start with the least interesting but more likely,
