There are times when I am thoroughly fucking tired of people mistaking my refusal to take their side for a failure to understand the subject. I have some fifty different versions of standards across my patents and other work. I came up with the Mandela Network years ago. I have explored different approaches because different problems, constraints and purposes call for different solutions. Apparently, this is terribly inconvenient for people who would prefer a declaration of allegiance.
There is no single best way to do everything. Your preferred standard does not become universally correct because you have grown emotionally attached to it. If your argument is that everyone must follow the standard you support, you might pause before delivering your next sermon on decentralisation. It is a curious devotion to freedom that leaves everyone else with precisely one acceptable choice.
If you believe in a decentralised system, build the fucking thing. Demonstrate its advantages. Show people where it works better, explain the trade-offs honestly, and give them a reason to choose it. Convince them through evidence and performance. Demanding obedience is a remarkably poor substitute for having something persuasive to offer.
As for telling me what I must support, whom I must endorse, or which camp I must join: go fuck yourselves. I am interested in what works, where it works, and why. If your approach is better, show me. You are welcome to compete for my judgement; you are not entitled to requisition it.

BRC-100 is useful. Electrum is useful. Simplified Payment Verification is useful. Different arrangements of wallets, servers, indexes, proofs, applications and specialist services can be useful. There is no obligation to pretend that they solve identical problems, carry identical risks or perform equally well. There is, however, every reason to let people build them, compare them and discover what actually works.
The problem begins when a recommendation acquires the manners of a commandment.

Stealing half the Satoshi coins was just the appetizer. The other half of Satoshi's coins are getting lost unless he's following Sztorc.
Theft-Chain is working as designed.
Exchange PSA: Split your coins asap, otherwise you will probably lose some/all ECX, to transaction replay !
The split guide: eCash.com/split
Those exchanges that are slow to implement replay protection, are facing a potential nightmare.
Of course, given that...
- I explained this >6 months ago
- There were two whole, live, test networks to practice on
- There was already one big delay
...I'm not sure how much sympathy we should have.
If you don't care about your ECX, then I can't force you to care! It's your net worth that will go down, not mine.
Roughly 30 hours to go!
Maxis telling you why Segwit/Lightning/Taproot/"Andy"Back aren't in the WhitePaper but BTC is still Bitcoin.
In 2015 Elizabeth Holmes was worth $4.5 billion. She told CBS she didn't own a TV because she worked every waking hour.
When people questioned her blood tests, she had an answer ready.
In the video below, she says that if your invention gets questioned, "that's a sign you've actually done something transformative."
Her company Theranos claimed it could run hundreds of tests from one drop of blood. Walgreens put it in stores. Investors put in over $700 million. Henry Kissinger sat on her board.
The machines never worked. Most tests were secretly run on regular lab equipment. Patients got wrong results about cancer, HIV and pregnancies.
In 2022 she was convicted of fraud. She is serving more than 11 years in federal prison.
The questions she called a sign of success were the truth the whole time.
Was she a liar from the start, or a believer who couldn't admit she failed?
Save the video and follow for more stories about how the rich really made their money.
BTC is a crowded Theater waiting for someone to scream "Fire".
One day the gears will lock as only a tiny fraction of BTC can move without clogging the Epstein dev machine. 🍿
"JUST IN," Pete? Cash App announced this Thursday afternoon.
"THIS IS HOW YOU SCALE BTC"
Cash App's own post: "Eligible Cash App customers can automatically move bitcoin to their paired Bitkey when their BTC balance reaches its chosen threshold."
Bitkey is "the self-custody bitcoin wallet built by Block, Inc." Cash App is Block's too. Block's app, sending to Block's wallet.
Moving coins off an app into a wallet you control is a real improvement. But a nicer withdraw button is not scaling. Every auto-withdraw is an on-chain transaction, and every one of them competes for the same blocks.
The cap doesn't move with the user count. BIP 141: "The new rule is block weight ≤ 4,000,000."
github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob…
So what happens when every Cash App customer sets a threshold?
Hint: they all bid for the same 4,000,000.
My take: scaling means blocks that grow with the users, which is what big blocks were built to do. A button that sends more people into the same small block is a queue.
Nice feature, Pete. That's not scaling. That's a waiting line! teapawt.net/pete_rizzo_/status/211…

🚨 BREAKING!!!
Lightning News confirms the Bitcoin sent over radio waves with no internet to be the Original BitcoinSV and urges users not to fall for the BTC scam.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Video shows a Bitcoin SV transaction not Bitcoin (BTC). Don't fall for scams.
BitcoinSV is inevitable

I've been focused on development of my new AI harness/OS @EdwinPai so I haven't been on X for a while.
The reason the mempool exists is to receive transactions so the first seen rule can be followed. Those transactions are then processed and added to blocks as quickly as possible.
Teranode processes transactions and adds them to subtrees/blocks as soon as they are received so a mempool is no longer needed.
The savings of immediate processing and subtree communication is superior to using a mempool because it's more efficient, and importantly, it accelerates the positive flywheel effect of node game theory:
Nodes receive as many transactions as possible and build subtrees as quickly as possible while hashing as quickly as possible to win the next block with as many transactions as possible to get the biggest block reward they can.
They are then incentivized to reinvest their earnings into their computing and networking infrastructure to be as competitive as possible and to earn as much profit per block as possible.
The result of this is the holy grail of computing systems which is a system that gets more efficient the more it's used.
It's the win-win-win relationship Satoshi carefully crafted in the original white paper: peer-to-peer electronic cash that's competitively maintained so individuals retain privacy, data provenance, and data ownership; the system gets cheaper and requires less energy to use as usage if it increases; and, node operators earn more while simultaneously being strongly incentivized to provide the best experience possible in order to earn more

BSV exists to see if bitcoin actually works.
We didn’t even want it to exist.
We want bitcoin to work despite the fact that people keep taking away its features and adding different ones across bitcoin-based blockchains.
