Capacity increases for the Bitcoin system.



Summary:

In an email dated December 9, 2015, Jorge Timón proposed a struct hashRootStruct that contained three elements: uint256 hashMerkleRoot, uint256 hashWitnessesRoot, and int32_t nHeight. However, he suggested modifying the struct to include a third element, uint256 hashextendedHeader, for forward compatibility. This would allow for possible additions to the struct in the future, such as an extra nonce.
