Genesis rules have activated Bitcoin is unfucked

Let's be honest Calvin. Regardless of who you think created Bitcoin, Craig had zero to do with creating BitcoinSV other than forcing it to be necessary with his tantrums. While the SV team created a node implementation on crazy short notice out of nothing and some us didn't sleep for a week to get us through the hashwar intact, Craig did nothing but spit venom on twitter, turn everyone against us and go to bed early. I brought the rest of the team that did it on stage with me at Coingeek London 2020 and we publicly thanked you for your role. Craig never said thankyou to a single one of us... Or to you. Please stop giving Craig credit for the hard work of other talented people. His contribution to BitcoinSV has been wholly destructive and self serving.

This just happened on mainnet.

Excited to be able to finally focus on what I moved half a world away from home to do... I'll be eating, sleeping a breathing Teranode until Bitcoin hits global scale...

If by this point you aren't at least questioning Craig's claims to be Satoshi then you're basically an idiot and beyond any help I can offer. It was publicly obvious since Norway but it only gets more devastating for his case as days go by. My days of trying wake up and rescue BSV people were short but now they are over. I've got better things to do.

Crypto news media is utter trash. Ive lost count of the number of false statements I've read last few days The real story here: in spite of an entire industry railing against BSV with venom, fear & irrational hate, its momentum keeps building like an unstoppable freight train.

And here it is... Thanks to the Bitcoin SV Infra team for months of hard work to get this problem solved. Let the (long) chains begin! bitcoinsv.io/2021/01/13/cpfp…

If BCH splits on May 15, 2020 over the new miner enforced "donation" I suggest the new ticker should be.... BTAX

It's 5:30am and we are 17 blocks deep from the fork point (620,539) and I'm now confident enough to get some sleep. @brad1121 and others around the world will be monitoring while London sleeps. Thankyou and goodnight...

This is why the private signing sessions were completely worthless as evidence. To do this requires adding 3 lines of code. I did this with ElectrumSV because I had it handy, but the relevant code in Electrum is almost identical. Start to finish it took about 30 mins including finding where to change the code. AFAIK I know all of the signing sessions except Gavin's were done on Craig's laptop, with no checks to ensure it wasn't a modified version. Gavin at least recognized this and insisted it be done on a new laptop. What I didn't know until I read Gavin's deposition in the Kleiman case a while back (all 440 pages of it), was that according to Gavin, Craig had unobserved control of the laptop for long periods while it was being setup prior to the signing. In which case it would be trivial to install a modified version from anywhere on the internet. Gavin didn't verify the software himself so this would have gone undetected. The easiest way to solve this problem was to give people a copy of the signature to verify for themselves, but that's the one thing that Craig would never allow. Why? Well if he knew the signatures wouldn't verify the answer is obvious. If he knew they would not so much. If he really was planning to do a public signing or move a coin (which amounts to the same thing) then it couldn't do much harm. If he was worried that proof of signing would bring the wrath of the US govt down on his head, then how was he ever planning to do the public signing? If he never had any intention of doing it, then I still think if they really wanted to extradite Satoshi Nakamoto, then him going on TV and telling the world he was Satoshi would have been sufficient evidence for them to do it.

6 more Devs on boarded to team-SV. Here's how it went down: Steve: @CalvinAyre I need funding for 6 more SV Devs to deliver Genesis on time. Calvin: Do it Steve: Hello, HR? This is how I like to do business. Thanks @CalvinAyre, @RealCoinGeek, @BitcoinAssn for supporting SV.

When I hear people complaining that CSW is toxic to crypto I have two responses: 1/ Bitcoin is NOT cryptocurrency, it's a global chronicle of events. 2/ He's not just toxic to crypto. He's fatal to every malformed idea about Bitcoin that has taken hold in the last decade. Nour.

It took nearly 13 years for Bitcoin to accumulate it's first terabyte of history. Next target is to do this every 10 minutes. Looking forward to 2022.

Back of the envelope... 1TB blocks could put through about 605 billion txs/day. Enough for 7 billion ppl to use 86 txs/day at cost of 1.7 GB/sec bandwidth. This backbone would enable each person on earth to make 225,000 txs/day. independent.co.uk/life-style…

Assuming BTC price ($8300) and throughput (3.7 tps) remain constant, after the halving the average tx fee will need to be $23 to replace the 6.125 BTC in lost miner revenue.

Genesis is locked and loaded... bitcoinsv.io/2020/01/09/gene…

The first and last I will say on the matter... Let's build... yours.org/content/on-the-sat…

Nothing that happened today would have been possible without @connolly_dan & the whole team behind bitcoin-sv project... Many of them dont want to be known. But they do much of the hard work that I often get the credit for. Quasar was made by nameless heros. Unknown soldiers.

The decouplening... Bitcoin stands alone...

Christmas is a family time and a good opportunity to drop bad puns about parent-child relationships Merry Christmas all 🎄🎅🎄 bitcoinsv.io/2020/12/24/a-be…

The 147mb block is now buried under 6 additional blocks. I think we can call it now. Quasar upgrade is locked in.

1/ What twaddle. Bitcoin can and does scale by brute force which is how it was designed. BitcoinSV has proven it time and again. Your mutant version of Bitcoin doesn't because you broke it & tried to redesign it as a mesh network where every user is a resource drain on miners.

Spent my holidays building a prototype control panel for Teranode. It's kinda cool to play with but my favourite part was naming it "TeraKnobs". Happy new year everyone. 2022 is going to be full of surprises...

A statement from Bitcoin SV node team: bitcoinsv.io/2020/02/04/gene…

Not at all. The more I learn, the more I experience directly, the more direct evidence I see, the less I read social media twaddle... The more I think the world owes this man for the sacrifices he made and for the unspeakable trauma he's gone through to give Bitcoin to the world

Just posted a proposed protocol upgrade roadmap. It's time to return to Genesis.... bitcoinsv.io/2019/04/17/the-…

It's been a long time in the making but this is just tip of the iceberg... The sleeper has awakened....

And she's live!!! Welcome to the last leg of the road to Genesis folks!

The solution to instant payment derisking is not faster block times. It's in the Bitcoin whitepaper. I.e. exactly what we did with Bitcoin SV.

This just happened...

Gigabyte blocks are for amateurs. We're barely getting started.

Well that was all quite interesting. Shall we get back to work? ;)

You mean like how Bitcoin can't scale?

If you need to, you could always assume he was peripheral but close enough to know Satoshi was dead. But honestly his behaviour with terrible forgeries during the trial shows he has no or limited forward forward thinking capacity. He just appears to solve the most immediate problem with a new lie that doesn't take into consideration what comes next or what came before. How people still think this man is some kind of hyper-intelligence is beyond me.

Genesis is coming... Get ready... bitcoinsv.io/2019/12/06/bitc…

Craig'toshi Wright is a massive pain in the arse. I get asked a lot what would I change about him if I could? Nothing. I want him to be exactly what he is. Craig has proven time and time again that he's just what bitcoin needs. Thanks Craig. Stay real man.

Quasar upgrade is coming July 24th... Make sure you understand you're ready for it. bitcoinsv.io/2019/07/13/quas…

Unfuckening is just one part of the picture.. The other part is the undumbening... Let me introduce you to the undumbener in chief.

Why are you worried how fast blocks propagate? That's the miners problem. What you should think about is how long it takes for your transaction to get mined. With 1 GregaByte blocks that would've taken a week for this volume of transaction data that BSV handled in a single block.

Yeah good luck with that. You might have a better chance without him but I still think you're pushing shit uphill. All my love, Your former CTO

We have already won 1/ ABC abandoned PoW as security model 2/ BSV remains the last real Bitcoin 3/ Exchanges listing in droves 4/ Most real apps/services declare support 5/ BSV price keeps rising while all others crash Replay prot. is not a political point. It is for stability.

@BitcoinJerry Proof of your work... whatsonchain.com/block-heigh…

Some might have noticed I've shown a little more teeth than usual lately. It's not a place I'm conformable being but it's a necessary reflection of the level of vitriol growing as Craig comes out. This is an important period in history and what needs to be done will be done.

Recently presented at a devops/cloud infra focussed conference in Berlin. Bitcoin became a lot more interesting to them as soon I started to talk about massive scale. I hope I left a few of them a bit more SV-curious piped.video/watch?v=wxE0mVVy…

113mb block. 1.2 bsv in tx fees. Real usage and tx fees starting to become a significant part of block rewards. whatsonchain.com/block/00000…

We need a little more professionalism around responsible disclosure... Let start here and now... bitcoinsv.io/2019/12/23/bitc…

You wake me I bankrupt you.

If they find something "a little bit disappointing" you know shit is about to get real.

What's our answer to Graphene? I'll be revealing one way that #BitcoinSV will meet the block propagation challenge in a way that never hits a ceiling. @RealCoinGeek Scaling Conference in #Toronto on May 29-30. #CGToronto

You mean the decorated security expert that alleges he kept a billion dollar+ wallet on a Google drive that got hacked and deleted and had no other backup copy? Not even the paper wallet he gave to Calvin for security a few years earlier? If the worlds most decorated security expert can make a mistake this dumb then the rest of us shouldn't be anywhere near Bitcoin.

Couldn't be happier with this move :) "... and creates one of the largest Bitcoin development teams in the world, with a headcount of over 120"

Ancestor limit raised to 10k and double counting issue removed. Next goal is to remove it altogether. Check out the dust return transaction type, dusting attacks just became a costly exercise in futility and wallets can clean out the useless dust outputs.

The greatest barrier to bitcoin growth and adoption is the idea that's its somehow technically unique. It is economically unique but it's technical scaling characteristics are well known and have been done a thousand times before. Fix it, unfuck it, scale it... Simple...

This

Booyakasha! whatsonchain.com/block-heigh… A new world record... Sleep time, my work here is done ;)

A lotta love from the teranode architecture team after 3 day workshopping session. Some big problems solved and every terabyte block use case covered with no roadblocks. It's proved possible, just need to finish building it.

Merry Christmas to everyone (even Greg and Freetrader). 2020 is going to be a cracking year come what may so enjoy a wee break before the starts🎉

Attention Bitcoin app developers. OP_RETURN is changing and you'll need to modify how you you embed data on chain. The good news is you can do it anytime between now and Feb next year. @_unwriter bitcoinsv.io/2019/07/27/the-…

Imagine downloading all the emails in the world just so you can read your own.

I have not been involved in day-to-day operations for a long time. But I've been getting a ton of DM's about the empty block miner. So I put my thoughts and suggestions in an article. medium.com/@shadders333/the-…

1/ If you believed recent twitter hype you'd think people are losing interest in BSV. Facts say otherwise. The recent DevCon had 3450 unique viewers, 61% of these indicated no prior BSV experience. The last Hackathon had 418 registered participants also many new to BSV.

Crypto payments as a novelty is NOT a path to global adoption. Those trying to compete with us in that space are doing us a favor by distracting themselves from the real plays. We'll play the longer game and we'll win that game as well as all the others we win along the way.

Anyone that can look Craig in the face while he speaks of some of things that break him up and not see the genuiness of the man is missing something that makes the rest of us human. He is NOT a master of his emotions. Even trolls would agree with that. The trauma is simply real.

Calvin is a brash character. But he stepped up as the guardian of original Bitcoin when no one else would. History will remember this when bitcoin has become all it can be.

There's a strong possibility Genesis will activate a day earlier than planned. The recent price spike caused blocks to be mined faster than usual and bring the anticipated time forward.

I apologise to @coinyeezy for my earlier tweet. Whilst I stand by the sentiment that we should be a lot more welcoming to people who aren't ardent BSV supporters, my choice of language was completely uncalled for... Deleted from twitter though obviously not from twetch...

Wow.... just wow... This is one of the most interesting articles I've read since @_unwriter 's resolution of the BCH experiment article... medium.com/cryptolawreview/b…

Please retweet and send this message far and wide. The notion of bitcoin as a tool for anarchists must die. It was designed from the ground up for traceability and accountabilty. If you apply that equally to govt, biz and citizens everything improves.

I just published When Bitcoin ceases to be Bitcoin (the 2nd death) link.medium.com/hSgfjfMa4R

Bsv community is going a bit nutty and territorial last few days... Not sure what's driving it but can we get back to building and stop with the distractions? If there's something genuinely bothering you please message me if there's a real chance I could help.

Drawing a line in the sand. We are not returning to the ways of Core. Bitcoin always had a market driven mechanism to expand its limits, it never needed developer intervention. bitcoinsv.io/2021/05/12/on-t…

No not really Adam. The lie is that users need to validate blocks. The security model of bitcoin makes this redundant... 20-30 real block building nodes is all you have on BTC and 20-30 is all you really need. The rest are just doing a core sanctioned DDoS on your network.

ABC has just changed the rules of bitcoin... They have killed off nakamoto consensus. Perhaps they fear it? The next step is transaction log in a MySQL database. This is not bitcoin. This is AmauryCoin. Hello BU this is your new reality.

It was a bug ABC introduced in Nov 18 hard fork according to your own Devs. So we dont need to fix. As to yr spurious accusation of malfeasance. We responsibly disclosed 3 bugs to ABC earlier this year that we paid a lot of money to discover. Are those the actions of an attacker?

Getting some inspiration for Teranode in preparation for @RealCoinGeek Scaling Conference in #Toronto on May 29-30. Fat pipes, unrestricted flow... #CGToronto

Never interrupt when they're making a mistake ;)

I’m excited to be embarking on a new adventure with my old friend and colleague @iamJimmyWIN. Something I've learned in my career is that there is no more valuable asset in business than a team with a foundation of trust, respect and complementary skills. With Jimmy I've got that and it's been battle tested in some of the most trying circumstances. I want to explain a little of what Zettium's technology direction is about. Fundamentally scaling any technology is about improving access to it for the mass market. Right now AI service delivery is hard, complex and crazy expensive. It's on a pathway to what I call 'Google lock-in' where it's simply not feasible for smaller players to compete. You'll certainly be able to use OpenAI and Google's AI services, but you'll be limited to using what they decide to make available and how they decide you should use it. This limits the ability to bring innovation to market to a very small pool of players. We've seen this pattern play out time and again with new technology waves getting rapidly locked up by the giants. We want to change all that, and we have the opportunity in the AI market. In our time with blockchain, we learned an awful lot about untrusted computing environments, and how and why blockchain was one of the only technologies that showed any meaningful resistance to the lock-in phenomena. And that is why scaling AI to open, rather than lock-in, access is a natural next step for us. AI is a transformative technology, it can empower people by extending their ability to effect change in the world around them. And it won't be just limited to just us tech nerds. We envisage a world where everyone is in effect a CEO, empowered by their own teams of intelligent agents, extending their reach, acting on their behalf, translating what they don't understand, and compressing information to make faster and better decisions. Our Zetta Swarm™ platform is designed from the ground up to make us resilient in one the fastest moving markets in living memory. But it’s more than just a business model for us; we want it to be a key enabler of this vision where anyone can be empowered by transformative technology. Jimmy would call that a WIN 🙂

12 hours after he posts an utterly biased report on BSV node software performance, leaving out key facts parralel tx validation and blocks with 7 figure tx counts... Anyone spotting the irony here?

You're going to be you're own chain come July 24th if you don't upgrade your node. You're 3 versions behind. Cutting edge.

Here are 3 of the most important articles in the history of Bitcoin. Two are about the past and one is about the future. 1/ Mike Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment 2/ Unwriter: The resolution of the Bitcoin Cash experiment. And now this: 3/ bit.sv/post/499dec5108b14e99…

This happened... Someone forgot to tell Bitcoin-SV node team that bitcoin can't scale. Nice work Ark riders...

It seems Craig is claiming in court that that I analysed TTL MYOB files for him. I didn't. These files apparently contained records of his purchase of 1Feex coins. Their authenticity is heavily contested and defendant's counsel in the Tulip case allege Craig added those records a few weeks after he was hacked. At the time I don't think I was even aware that Craig was claiming the 1Feex coins were lost in the 'hack'. At that point was only aware of lost BSV and a tiny amount of BTC on an exchange. That discrepancy is a story for another day though. After the 'Shadders list' debacle my involvement in Craig's legal issues was limited to answering a few idiotic questions from people involved and offering some (very unwelcome) commentary on the absolute pointlessness of the vicious litigation efforts. I know what MYOB is because I'm Australian, but I wouldn't know where to start in analysing these files. I don't know why he's making this claim but as far as I recall it is completely false.

A bit of perspective on forked blockchains and reorgs. yours.org/content/on-forks--…

Shoutout to the all the hardworking C++ & Java devs, QA team, BAs, PMs & grumpy architects @nChainGlobal . The work has only just begun but we wouldn't have a real Bitcoin left to work on without you guys. Yr names may not be known on twitter but you're appreciated by legions.

@BitcoinSVNode project team from @nChainGlobal and @crea_official united for the first time in Slovenia. 31 here and only 4 missing. Say hello to the people that gave us back Bitcoin... :)

1/ Precisely 2 years ago to the hour, Amaury and myself shook hands and said goodbye at an Absinthe bar in Paris after a marathon 12 hour meeting. It was a sad moment because we both knew that it was the last time we'd face each other as friends and peers.

Seem's the BCH hard fork solved the scaling problem by getting rid of transactions from the protocol. teddit.net/r/btc/comments/bo…

Being obnoxious on social media was always a hallmark of Craig. But it was never what he was trying to teach. He created bitcoin to make it easier for people to be excellent to each other. Stop trying to emulate asshole Craig and start trying to hear the kind of world he wanted.

If you're running a Bitcoin SV version lower than V0.2.0 on 24th July it will likely fork off the network. Recommend updating ASAP. Please spread this message far and wide... github.com/bitcoin-sv/bitcoi…

Nakamoto consensus is now dead on the ABC chain... They do not believe in bitcoin.

You can if you want to, but you don't have to love Trumpism to agree with everything Bitcoin SV is doing. Just saying... The left/right ideology has fuck all to do with bitcoin proper. Just keep the distinction clear.

Best f-ing coder I've ever met in my life... Congratulation Matej...

A wise friend who understood SunTzu once said to me... If you try to fuck me I will reach out to you and try help you understand why I am not your enemy. I will do everything in my power to give you the chance to avoid forcing me to fuck you back. Trolls pls open your minds.

After 20 years of vinyl I'm finally entering the digital age, mainly due to records being too heavy to drag half way around the world. Thanks to @SamCoxDJ for inspiring me to get back on the horse. First track I played on it was Acid88

That's a vast improvement but: Bitcoin SV had temporary competing chains, Nakamoto Consensus resolved them precisely as described in the whitepaper. All transactions in orphaned chain were mined into winning chain. Working exactly as designed. @BitMEXResearch

"false claims of on-chain scalability" - Satoshi explained this shit to you right back in the beginning. The fact you didn't get is the only reason you're going down this pointless lightning path. You messed up. No wonder he's pissed. "Bitcoin never really hits a scale ceiling"

Now we are free of constant distraction. Free of developer experiments. Free to build on the base layer with the backing of smart businesses. Progress will be so much faster now.

Unsigned integers are larger? WTF just happened?
