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
It's party time!
The BitcoinSV team has put in a herculean effort to get this done and achieve what others said was impossible or would take years. IMHO they are the best damn engineering team Bitcoin has ever seen.
Thank you guys :)
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...
Thank you
@shadders333
for all your great work so far! You play an essential role in the development of the overall

ecosystem and we're excited to see you push Teranode and more.

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
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.
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.

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
6 more Devs on boarded to team-SV. Here's how it went down:

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.
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.
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.
Nothing that happened today would have been possible without

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...
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

We are 14 minutes past Quasar activation time. Just waiting for MTP time to catch up. MTP is the average of the timestamps of the last 11 blocks so usually lags by about an hour.
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
It's implausible, if not utterly insane, that a person would embark on a decade-long fraudulent claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, if the 'real Satoshi' could suddenly appear at any point to vaporize it.
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.
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.
This 1GB block propagated the BSV network very easily and efficiently.
Calvin simply tossed Craig a USB flash drive containing the block across the room.
@nChainGlobal
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.
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

From the guy that thinks the most decorated cyber security specialist in the world is faking being satoshi.
“it's just a matter of fiddling until stumbling upon the exact input actions Satoshi performed.”
How long would that take Artie?
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...
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
@adam3us
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.
@checksum0
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?

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.

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.
