i have even asked hm to learn some basic concepts that dont need code skills such as consensus vs bilateral. -snip-
Fun fact: Standard orphans are not the same as the invalid block which was mined by a BU pool the other day. Yet you keep pushing this pseudo-explanation of the situation. more buzzword nonsense. firstly an orphan does not need to have a parent rejected for the child to be an orphan. EG a parent can exist and still live.. but decided to give up the child.. for the child to be an orphan.. so even rejects can in real world life, be an orphan. yep rejects are orphans too. (once you get away from cores buzzword nonsense and think about things in real life laymans english) Bu's block was thrown aside in 3 seconds.. end of drama.. just like other rejects the problem was not the block.. but CORES excessive banscore. which over reacted and banned nodes for handing it to other nodes. the simple thing is without the banning of nodes.. the reject would still have been a reject and nothing different would have come of it. (gone in 3 seconds) 2017-01-29 06:59:12 Requesting block 000000000000000000cf208f521de0424677f7a87f2f278a1042f38d159565f5 2017-01-29 06:59:15 ERROR: AcceptBlock: bad-blk-length, size limits failed (code 16) it was a non-event, until it was over dramatised due to excessive banscore utility by core nodes which is cores failure where CORE would have been the cause of a bilateral split by CORE banning nodes when CORE didnt need to ban nodes.

Let's do a quick recap... So who is supporting BU on bitcointalk: 1. Rawdog - freak, who wrote many times that bitcoin is dead, failed etc. 2. Classicsucks, with his recent coming out... 3. Franky - infamous troll. At least from what I see Franky has some knowledge to back up his claims and stance against SegWit I don't see many people here capable or high level discussion about scaling. You will have to say something more that "franky is a troll' to disprove his arguments which seems solid enough for me. Obviously your knowledge is very impaired if you consider a fair amount of his posts to be "solid enough". Usually it's psuedo-knowledge, even though they make a decent point sometimes. Characters shouldn't be discussed much anyways; it doesn't help either way. lauda is attacking my personality. which i dont care about. but lauda himself admits he does not know c++ to have read CODE. i have at many times asked lauda just to learn some basics. i have even asked hm to learn some basic concepts that dont need code skills such as consensus vs bilateral. if lauda can only attack my personality, but cannot attack the CODE/concepts of bitcoin. then lauda needs to spend less time with social drama and more time learning about bitcoin code, concepts, diversity and bitcoins ethos. so far i have only seen lauda jump into a debate when it concerns devending DEV's .. not bitcoin. we should not be upholding devs as kings/rulers. bitcoins network consensus is what matters, and pools/devs human dcisions should not. pools/devs should be treated as bitcoins workers.. not dictators/leaders. anyone wanting devs to rule bitcoin are missing the point of bitcoin. and it doesnt take need coding skills to understand that rational and logical concept. P.S lauda thinks my knowledge is pseudoknowldge because i am not trying to sound like a geeky ass hat using cores 'buzzwords' for instance if i wanted to be a medical doctor. i would learn everything and then translate it to laymens. and i would refuse to tell a patient they had a microcardial infarction to show off my knowledge.. instead i would just say . dude your hart stopped for 10 seconds. that way what happened to the patient is factual but in a manner the patient would understand. my comments lack the buzzwords simply because i translate it down to laymens to help the community. yes gmaxwell hates it when i call his "Confidential Pedersen Commitments" simply 'confidential payment codes' but to common man my layman term resonates better to common understanding. i previously just used 'intentional split' instead of 'bilateral split' but received alot of backlash because i was not buzzwording, so just to shut the trolls up i use the term 'bilateral' and ask the community to learn its meaning i previously just used 'majority agreement' instead of 'consensus' but received alot of backlash because i was not buzzwording, so just to shut the trolls up i use the term 'consensus' and ask the community to learn its meaning

I would like to see more developers getting off their asses and start writing some code.
you do realise that there are over 12 implementations. unless you have read the lines of code. stating something is amateurish, is just falling for the scripted speaches by core. the RECKED campaigns against xt, classic, bu, etc are not about the REAL lines of code. but about the SOCIAL drama of people.

but i have to ask. you keep mentioning the word "furniture"
do you mean like a sofa or table in someones home. do you mean like a sofa or table manufacturer building such furniture do you mean like a electronic household furnishings such as TV, room heaters, window blinds, fridges.
please give an example of what you are specifically asking for. EG pick a piece of furniture. or what you mean by the furniture. using it, making it..
I mean the first one...sofa or table before even asking about the need of blockchain needed in a table of chair. you have to ask about any currency why need to put fiat into a table or sofa why need to put gold into a table or sofa. the idea's i have come up with table. at a restaurant you fund your restaurant table with funds (like a bartab). that table is reserved for you. the waiters know you can pay the bill and you can just move funds across when you order specific items. thus no issue about not paying your bill or embarrassment of card decline when on a date. sofa.. hmm.. lets instead choose movie/orchestra/music venue chairs. buying a ticket puts funds into the seat. thus unlocking a physical electronic padlock that releases the chairs vertical position for you to unfold it and sit in it. ok lets look at sofa. imagine sofa's only last for 10 years of sitting on before people ware them out rubing their ass into the chair to need to replace it. or imagine for health and fitness you want to penalise yourself for sitting on a sofa too long. each hour on the sofa costs a few pennies. which over 10 years adds up to cover the cost of a new sofa. (self funding/saving up). it also makes those trying to stay fit to remind themselves to do exercise if it starts costing them something to sitdown for an hour.

My new wallet went from 24 hours behind to 25 hours behind. I switched to the old wallet on my main computer, and that doesn't seem to be catching up either. I'm on public WiFi which is reported to be giving me a 30Kb connection. This has been fast enough in the past, but it looks as if it may be struggling at the moment.
If Bitcoin traffic is going to increase, then I may have to rethink my approach to running a node.
problem may also be that you admit(in another topic) that you are overtly happy to use the node ban hammer too much. meaning you probably are not getting a good supply of reliable nodes to sync from. try searching for other nodes that are upto date. search bitnodes.io for nodes that are upto-date that meet your "favourite brand" criteria. and "addnode" them.

Craig wright is a flake just like John Nash and the others, until someone comes out to spend a single coin of Satoshi I wouldn't believe. Why is this craze for unnecessary fame ? I'm sick and tired of it!!
its all fake drama instead of asking the real questions about what concepts and code changes have been discussed at the roundtable. those close to the corporate elite want to distract you with this kardashian-esq social entertainment drama of 'the round table will reveal the real satoshi' making sheep think the only thing to discuss concerning the round table is this social 'who is satoshi' crap.

main issues common people have: 1. usability: lengthy addresses many decimals no easy way to mentally calculate value without having double check exchange rates 2. spendability: fee war has priced bitcoin of its utility out of developing countries where it costs more than an hours wage to use bitcoin lack of a community push to ask their own local merchants to accept bitcoin (sitting on hands hoping a hero will fly in with the sales pitch) 3. the community: people want to exaggerate the benefits and brush the limits under the carpet.. rather than solve the problems and be honest about the benefits. this leaves people feeling they have been 'over promised and under delivered' and leads to frustrations. there is no need to tell people already using bitcoin, 'its great' instead we need to understand the issues and solve them. 'make bitcoin great again'. now with that said point (1) above can be solved with concepts such as NFC hardware wallet smart watches. where sliding the device over a sensor signs a tx. without revealing the private key and without needing to manually type in lengthy addresses or long decimals.. simple 'swipe and pay' point (2) above can be solved by fixing the priority calculation to make tx's average waiting 2-3 hours AFTER confirm* for whats deemed natural spending habits by using CLTV maturity in a new priority calculation. where those that need to respend more than once every couple hours could/would use LN as a voluntary side service. *2-3 hours AFTER confirm formulae could, with the right motives be a few days maturity AFTER confirm. knowing LN would be a utility for many tx a day. thus those only spending once a week dont need LN. because there is no 'every block respend' spam onchain.. thus natural balance is restored. point (3) above can be solved if people started finding other bitcoiners locally and arrange meetups (no cost just agree to meet at a cafe/bar) and discuss which stores/merchants locally they desire most to accept bitcoin. and organise that they locally offer a service to that merchant. it can be as simple as offering that merchant an upfront fiat 'bartab' and the merchant then merchant shows customers a qr code or use a bitcoin NFC point of sale system. thus the merchant takes the fiat out the bartab and the bitcoin goes to the guy who paid the bartab. no risk to merchants. emphasis on local people seeking their local merchants doing it, instead of sitting on hands waiting for code to grow feet and a voice to do the work

this is about the "spam" cries. and a way to solve it using CODE. not fee's
though there are spam attacks. we need to truly stop using a umbrella term, in regards to calling lots of different types of transactions "spam". for me i consider BLOATED transactions that spend funds EVERY block an obvious spam attack. yet others treat simply spending less than 0.1btc a spam attack.(facepalm)
in a world outside of america/europe. 0.01btc for instance can be a weeks wage and 0.001btc can be multiple hours of labour. for the unbanked developing countries we should not be considering something spam, purely on the basis of how much is spent, but on bloated transactions and transactions that are spent too frequently outside what appears normal spending behaviour.
bitcoins 'priority' calculation are no longer appropriate, many pools dont even use it anymore. the calculation of: (value *age) / size. does not help anyone. because someone with 1000btc can respend multiple times an hour fee free. but someone with only 0.Xbtc has to wait weeks or pay a premium. victimising the poorer nations effectively thus it only makes it a calculation beneficial for the rich. the 'priority' calculation needs to change to be more about bloat and age. and not about value.
eg knowing that the blocksize limits how much data is allowed. a new calculation needs to have considerations of making there be a points system for blocksize vs tx size. more so then making the value the consideration changer so that the leaner the tx size is, the more points are rewarded. which when blocksizes increases. would make the leaner transactions earn more points for staying lean.
EG (blocksize/tx size)*age
txsize blocksize age result 226 1000000 1 4425 10min 226 1000000 6 26549 1 hour 226 1000000 46 203540 7h 40min 450 1000000 1 2222 10min 450 1000000 6 13333 1 hour 450 1000000 90 200000 15h 100,000 1000000 1 10 10min 100,000 1000000 6 60 1 hour 100,000 1000000 144 1440 16h 40min 100,000 1000000 20160 201600 5months
imagining where the priority target was 200,000 this means if super lean you can spend funds every 7 hours with priority. but being bloated (100k blocks) you have to wait months. this then makes bloated transactions PAY MORE to make up for the missing points.
it also means that rich spammer cannot bypass it by just moving a larger reserve for free. ofcourse my example can include extra variables. such as if people voluntarily put in a CLTV maturity of X blocks to show they wont respend for atleast X blocks (because CLTV prevents it) they can gain extra points too
EG ((blocksize/tx size)*age)*CLTV confirms. =((1000000/226)*6)*6 159292 =((1000000/226)*6)*7 185840 =((1000000/226)*6)*8 212389
which is an example of someone who naturally may want to spend every couple hours. where their funds are only an hour old. 226 1000000 6 26549 1 hour dont have to wait >6 more hours 226 1000000 46 203540 7h 40min they can just voluntarily tell the network they are happy to lock themselves into a 1hour 20minute maturity after the respend. =((1000000/226)*6)*8 212389 to get priority.
meaning if you volunteer that you are not going to respend those funds for 8+ confirms. you get priority. which mitigates the respend every block true spam. because this calculation averages a 2-3 hour respend acceptable natural human timescale.
it also helps by giving users an option to say it needs to be accepted sooner.(a true "hey guys i really need this to go through, but accept the punishment for this need) making the wait PRIOR to confirm less, by making the waiting time AFTER confirm, more. thus a way to show the network who actually NEEDS priority the most
though a bloat spammer can just put a mega long CLTV on a bloated tx to gain priority for their first tx, they atleast once confirmed the funds wont be respent fast due to the CLTV maturity needing to be met (no matter what the priority is of the second attempt, CLTV prevents respends until mature)
it makes it so that if you want to spend sooner (imagine its not maturity locked first) the sooner you want to spend the longer you have to wait to respend AFTER confirm. thus solving the wait for confirm 'trust' people getting paid dilemma EG if matured funds are only aged 3 blocks instead of 6. you have to volunteer not being able to re-spend then for 16 blocks instead of 8 =((1000000/226)*3)*14 185840 =((1000000/226)*3)*15 199115 =((1000000/226)*3)*16 212389
so that the faster you want to spend(after maturity) the longer you cant respend the second time. thus effectively stopping a spammer spending every block because they end up waiting atleast 2 hours before conditions are met
though my calculation is not perfect for every instance of utility. i think that usual / natural spending behaviour of only buying things once every couple hours is normal.. and mitigating the spend every 10 minute intentional spam. for those wanting to bypass this because they GENUINELY need to spend every 10 minutes.. (not intention spam, but a niche need) such as the small niche of day traders/faucet raiders/gamblers they can use the niche market commercial LN service VOLUNTARILY to get their many spends an hour.
thus having an equal balance of people that only spend lets say once a week that dont need LN can happily spend onchain. but those that do need many spends an hour can use LN... natural balance is restored
im sure someone can be inspired by my idea of changing the priority calculation. by adding in or using variables in a different format to achieve something better then my example calculation formula.. and way way better than the current priority formulae

It's total clickbait and a stupid and retarded theory that has no merit in reality. If it wasn't clickbait you would post your findings here. In fact, I would bet that you've spewed more shit in this thread about how everyone should click your stupid link than what you've wrote in that link. If you want to show your point, type it out here. Dont send people to a site they don't want to visit and then tell them they are ignorant for not giving you clicks. Try articulating you point on the forum, you know, the forum where you can type shit out to make a point or post an opinion.
train wrck has wasted 6 days trying to clickbait. all he wants is some @medium money he wont articulate it here.. because there is nothing of worth to articulate

i have read your link nothing in it has anything credible. there is no need to re-read it no need for me or anyone to click it again you have offered nothing that has not been said years ago you are just clickbaiting instead of making a point here. you are just screaming "click the link" stop making posts asking to click the link. this topic is 74 posts long and all you are doing is crying and screaming for people to click your link and insulting people if they call you out. all you seem to care about is people clicking your link. get the hint.. after 3 pages of asking people to click it.. if they have not clicked it by now. they wont click it by you simply screaming for them to click it. get the hint. you have wasted your time raising a subject that has died out and debunked YEARS ago. move on

anagrams hmm.. and abit of cryptographic math lol gives you my brain fart ages ago its not nick.. but i do love some of the theories and 'proofs'
the funniest one is using the letters of his name someone said nicks middle name was thomas
NICK THOMAS SZABO
take the C and the B change them to numeric (c=3 b=2) 3x2=6 6= 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 1=A and 1,1,1,1,1 (A and five 1's) save the A for later but lets carry on using the numbers 1,1,1,1,1= 3 and 2 3x2=6 6=3 and 3 3x3=9
take the Z and change it to numeric (z=26) 26+9=35
dont take these out, just note that the missing letters are O=15 T=20 =35
so numerically we can see there is a conversion method for ZBC=OT now take out the CBZ and add in the AOT
NICK THOMAS SZABO NIK THOMAS SAOAOT
now mix them letters up from: NIK THOMAS SAOAOT
to:
S (NIK THOMAS AOAOT) SA (NIK THOMAS OAOT) SAT (NIK HOMAS OAOT) SATO (NIK HMAS OAOT) SATOS (NIK HMA OAOT) SATOSH (NIK MA OAOT) SATOSHI (NK MA OAOT) SATOSHI N (K MA OAOT) SATOSHI NA (K M OAOT) SATOSHI NAK ( M OAOT) SATOSHI NAKA ( M OOT) SATOSHI NAKAM ( OOT) SATOSHI NAKAMO ( OT) SATOSHI NAKAMOT ( O) SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
i know nick is not, but i just liked this bit of speculation and wordplay.. put a smile on my face

ok lower than what I thought, thanks. If we take the Bitcoin network in the large sense, this consumption is maybe small compared to existing payments and therefore seems relevant. When we look closely at what this energy is used for, it seems not so efficient still ? I mean it can be lowered, right ?
do you know that las vegas alone uses more electric to control and secure. plastic poker chips do you know that in america there are 90,000 bank branches with an average 10pc's per branch (4kwh / branch(360,000kwh)) equivalent of 277,000 asics then add on the ATMS, bank call centres, auditors, regulators, security guards, etc equivalent of about 660,000 asics and thats before even adding the rest of the financial industry like insurance, market traders, etc but to answer your question an asic used to be 1kwh for just 5 gigahash.. now its 1.3kwh for 13terrahash, im sure the ration of kwh:hash can become more efficient in future

I agree about that being that the main guy is Ver. But you can't ignore his influence.
that guy is rusty russel introducing 4 more decimals in his LN (millisatoshi) https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=millisatoshiits starting to become very funny that every action blockstream employee's propose is being pointed in every direction away from blockstream. EG gmaxwell loving bilateral splits.. every blockstream centralists says other implementations want bilateral splits. yet other implementations refuse to split. What you are describing is what I and others call a bilateral hardfork-- where both sides reject the other. I tried to convince the authors of BIP101 to make their proposal bilateral by requiring the sign bit be set in the version in their blocks (existing nodes require it to be unset). Sadly, the proposals authors were aggressively against this.The ethereum hardfork was bilateral, probably the only thing they did right-- even funnier blockstream centralists fear other implementations splitting the network.. yet every argument they have is demanding other implementations to Fork Off and make their altcoin.... im guessing they are trying self fulfilling prophecy that if they nag for it enough they can make other implementations do it.. then blame the other implementations for doing it.. (facepalm) and it seems they dont even realise the words they are speaking. like empty drones repeating scripts without understanding what they are saying or researching the truth.

Could even consider the oil/petrol used to transport the funds (it is still an energy used and still needed), SWIFT, CHIPS, RTGS, FedWireand so on.. When I searched for it some months ago I have read first from a researcher in environment it has been calculated that a single bitcoin transaction requires as much electricity as the daily consumption of 1.6 U.S. households , and this number has increased since I finally found the bitcoin network use the same energy as a city of 4 millions citizen in total there is probably around 230,000 asics.(3000 peta) an asic is 1.3kwh which is about the same as what an average household uses. thus roughly 200,000-250,000 households.(~~1million citizens (based on 2parents 2 children per households)) but your other initial 1.6 households per tx cost has merit. i remember myself coming up with a similar figure ages back though i think that number has changed since quick maths a block has ~2100 tx and produces 6 blocks an hour = 12600tx an hour =18 households but thats based on ALL 20+ pools running.. rather than just the winning pools hashpower of the blocks they win (which would be still around the 1-2 household cost)

So tell me why he created all this drama,
first ignore this OP's fake evidence.. its fake. to address the drama of craig wright. years after bitcoin was created. craig wright found some PUBLIC KEYS on the blockchain. and pretended he owned them he got a friend to draw up a trust fund, named the tulip trust. and wright (fraudulently) showed his friend these publickeys and said he owned them naively the friend checked the balances. and seen the funds. (no privatekey/signature proof) the friend got this trust notorised and insured for AUS $XXmill (though the tupip trust held no actual value). this tulip trust was then used as collateral to garner business/investment. including AUS $54m from australian government in the form of tax grants. in 2014, the australian government learned about bitcoin and started testing the legitimacy of the tulip trusts 'collateral' and noticed there was no actual proof of ownership. craig knew the government wanted to summon him to court. so craig had to fabricate proof. he 'tipped' himself off to gizmodo and other media. that "satoshi is craig wright". allowed them to do a media story but NDA'd them to not release it until he can flee the country.. craig fled australia and then the story(fake) broke. months later craig tried to get more media to be 'tipped off' that he is satoshi. including inviting some devs and some british media. again supplying no real proof but a signature that anyone can grab because that signature is publicly available from 2009 but the issue is that it only took hours to notice the signature is not new, but that old available data found on the blockchain in 2009. motive: craig was hoping the media stories and hoping no one would recognise the signature. so that he can have freedom from the australia government trying to grab him.. but for now he is still wanted by australian government. so remains hiding in the UK. he is now desperate to patent things, write books, do exclusive news stories, garner more investments(ponzis). to fill up the tulip trust with real assets/funds to total the same value as the insured amount. hoping if he shows that the tulip trust now was $xxm of real assets/funds, they would leave him alone

for every block there are 19+ losers
the 3 second reject drama was no difference. no extra cost no extra loss.. ver just didnt win that block. 3 second event, = "ver you didnt win".. just like the other 19 pools trying for the same block i laugh when people exaggerate a reject into some big event.
but when people point out a bigger event they push it under the carpet Sipa's LevelDB 2013 long orphan chain event.

the bitcoin creator is NOT john nash..
Every time you address this point and say this it shows to everyone that read the article that you didn't. Its crystal clear because are speaking to a framed argument that I did not propagate. What you are calling click bait, is the opposite of click bait. I put a very well founded an cited argument together, but I never told you what the argument is. That you continually speak to a frame that is wholly irrelevant to my article is a perfect testament to your ignorance on the subject. How are you coming to conclusions for the community, but without having any knowledge on what you are talking about? boring reply where all you are saying effectively is "click the link" typical clickbait now i see why you have no clue. you dont even read your own post to realise you yourself are not showing any proof on this forum that this topic has merit. why even bother going to your clickbait repeatedly. if what it says has already been said before you even said it.. by other people. i dont need to read it multiple times.. the article has NO merit. and is just meaningless clickbait. move on with your life and get a real job instead of trying to gather pennies with click bait empty material.

The only cons (for the govt) I can think of is that it requires a deep internet/electricity infrastructure to be widely implemented
The traditional banking system does too, and you see them in every corner of every city. There were multiple times news even saying that the traditional banking system consumes way more electrical resources than the whole Bitcoin network, so that's not really a disadvantage... This infrastructure is set for many places in the work, it can be "reconverted" for cryptocurrency use... there are OVER 90,000 FIAT bank branches in america alone. imagine each bank branch has 10 pc's.. EG 6 cashier/teller terminals. a couple admin computer terminals, bank manager and such terminals. thats 900,000 pc's and im not even counting the ATMS and im not even counting the banks customer call centre terminals and im not even counting the banks HQ skycrapers and im not even counting the banks nasdaq market terminals and im not even counting the banks auditors terminals and im not even counting the banks security guards terminals and im not even counting the banks regulators terminals. so lets say there are 2million computers linked up just for "the dollar" .. take some time to let that sink in..
