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

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.

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.

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"

Some people tried to make BTC into a scam with false claims of on-chain scalability. But unlike ETH, ~all Bitcoin devs, and the wider community, had the honesty to fight those false claims with truth. Truth is probably why scammy altcoiners hated our side of the scaling war.

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.
