321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Blocksize War is still ongoing. on: March 20, 2024, 11:39:12 PM
doomad never understands scaling
he thinks scaling means LEAPING to huge sizes is scaling because whenever anyone talks of scaling he cries about super size blocks to amounts NO ONE but his cultish ilk mention

scaling is small progressive growth.. not delay and leap.. .. but its doomads cultish ilk that want delays and then jumps but only when they command it via their idols they treat as gods (centralised devs protected by politics of moderation policies and hierarchy of reference client sole control)

..
funny part is he loves to say bitcoin should allow one transaction to cost $50 but then says bitcoin should not scale due to fears of the same $50 being the cost to store 20 years+ of transactions(billions of transactions)
reality is, once he takes his meds, one day he will see if he thinks people should pay many $'s per use then a $50 hard drive which all computers need anyway is more then enough for decades of decentralising the blockchain
he cant play poverty at decades of use but be ok with single use premium costs.. thats insanity

if he is ok with his crappy narrative of $100 to lock-unlock from his favoured shoddy subnetwork once a year. then he should have no fear of a $50 cost per 5-15 year. and should actually want to see onchain transactions cost under $1 each where many people collectively transact to then give mining pools a nice bonus total

the economical, practical, useful, logical, common sense approach is this:

unlike the cultish games and shoddy subnetworks of today. the future could see the likes of walmart/starbucks setting up THEIR OWN subnetworks(plural) where people onchain lock up monthly value into their favoured retailers multisig to then purchase goods with IOU units on the subnetworks and settle up each month by closing the sessions. and re establishing new sessions in the same process

much like buying giftcards today in the real world with fiat

but whether we patiently allow cultish idiots to remain in their delay scandals of utopian dreams that never manifest, or the practical future of niche subnetworks for retail needs. the bitcoin network still needs to scale.. and no i am not saying LEAP!!(before the cult idiots pretend thats what scaling is)

scaling means:
1. hardening the rules again to remove the cludge. so that every byte counts and gets validated to meet the rules of actual bitcoin purpose
2. by doing (1) less bloat would occur to allow more transactions within the current allowed blockspace
3. make bloat cost more(a fee multiplier specifically for bloat(witness/metadata)) rather then punishing everyone else while giving bloaters the lower fee
4. where by transactions that want to respend EVERYBLOCK(spammers) also get penalised, rather than everyone else
    and no i dont mean just a huge fee of 1 confirm spends. i mean a scale thats huge for 1confirm respends, decreases per confirm unspent
5. doing (3) and (4) will also help reduce the spam/bloat to then allow more transactions for genuine bitcoiner economic use
6. yes increase the blocksize, but do so based on the DATA congestion of blocks(like how difficulty adjusts) not some central core groups politics
    eg when blocks are full over ##% period(52.5k, 105k 210k blocks) of a halving cycle increase blocksize
7. by doing (1) especially but also some other tweaks, to make transactions leaner so more transactions can fit
8. by doing (1) especially but also some other tweaks, allot the main body of a tx(the actual value transfer) utilise the ful "weight" space, instead of segregated to a 25% portion, thus allowing more transactions per block

emphasis: none of these idea's are blockchain killers nor going to cause centralisation nor going to cause any other stupid excuse cultish groups come up with

i guarantee i will see them spin up old narratives that they fear costs of $50 hard drives for 20 years of tx data..  but be ok with $50 for a single transaction.. so lets get that joke over and done with before they make us laugh, and before we make them cry

i guarantee i will see them spin up old narratives that they fear [insert stupidity] so get the popcorn and lets see them make us laugh with their lame excuses why bitcoin should not scale and we should instead abandon bitcoin for their single subnetwork of their favouring (of shoddy workmanship that has more exploits, bugs and broken promises that are NOT solutions)

2. Regarding Blackrock’s plans - yes, I know that, first of all, these are INVESTMENT projects, mutually beneficial to both parties. Restoring civilian infrastructure, including the construction of houses and entire cities destroyed by Russian terrorists, will be a concomitant project with the construction of infrastructure facilities, and this is logical!

you think blackrock is organising giving ukraine funding NOW (to help end the war) and blackrock is going to receive land to rebuild... housing of the displaced!!? to give back to the citizens that got displaced!!?... um no, just no

again this is what blackrock will actually do in the eastern ukraine reason when peace occurs
Quote
We will be able to offer interesting projects to invest in energy, security, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, medicine, IT, and many other areas. We want global partners to come who can provide us with large investments

notice the lack of charity/residential/restoring civilian livelihood wording
notice how they say about large investments of energy security agriculture logistics medicine and IT

average joe family farmer is not going to get his farm back after having all land mines and debris removed and re-toiled ready for family to return and farm.. instead blackrock will take the land as thanks for funding the war effort. and blackrock will pass that to big agri to run the farms
(ukraine pushed back at first on this but gave in later)

average displaced citizen isnt going to get their small home/cottage rebuilt so they can move back home for free as compensation for their displacement
instead blackrock wants to make "smart cities" which will be different. yes they can offer an apartment of a skyscraper or apartment block and give them jobs in the smart city. but those people will end up paying rent/needing a mortgage. to buy it from blackrock
ukraine government will have to decide how these rents/mortgages will be subsidised to pay blackrock for those that suffered and returned.. but generally most apartments will be filled with new workers with skills/talents fit for the smart cities

(its the same game as the border disputes/guerilla warfare in africa over the last 50 years that displaced many.. now for instance even ethiopia is seeing its has developed many cities even when showing world wide tv appeals for charity..  the displaced are 3 generations deep still displaced, whilst skilled/talented people from multiple countries have moved into the recently built cities)



in all the wars/atrocities of the last 100 years. how many stories have you heard of the asylum seekers finding safe harbour in other countries due to being displaced, later speak of their life story where they went back to their homeland and had a new house waiting for them or compensation that set them up for life.. none. you only hear how they might get like 1 years worth of rent to start them up in the new country they found safe harbour in.

blackrock(and many companies before it that have gained via wars), are going to build for their benefit, not the displaced citizens benefit
so expect new smart cities and land used to generate electric to feed the rest of europe and electric cabled neighbouring countries/regions
324  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is over priced but people keep spending on: March 20, 2024, 05:37:45 AM
The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.

as a younger self. i remember car fuel was #0.59 a litre(pre-millenium). it went to #1.40 in 2019 then #2.00 during the covid-ukraine saga, then down to #1.40/litre again now

my elderly relatives talked about how a average salary was #10 a week for a trainee/min wage when they were young. now its ~#450 min wage

its called inflation. its always happening, always has happened.. everyone has experienced it for as long as people have lived

everyone has to eat, pay bills and survive so yes people will still keep spending. saving money wont make the price of goods drop to 1990's nor 1970's prices.. those times are GONE

we have to adjust to the economics of now, not desire the economics of the past.
sorry but we are not going to see an era of housing being #5000 again and #10 being enough to live on for a week, sorry, those days are gone

the purpose of not spending and instead saving is to have a temporary emergency pot of money for surprise expenses
the purpose of not spending and instead investing is to have a long term future wealth pot of money for hedging inflation for the future

saving and investing instead of spending wont cause prices to drop to prices of decades ago

i didnt say all rich people are not flashy
i said SMART PEOPLE dont waste their cash so dont flash it around and instead invest it

elon musk is not cash rich, he is paper rich. he is on paper a near trillionaire so his house was ~0.0072% of his wealth
for him $72m is not flashy nor getting him in debt

this topic is about the OP thinking that his professor is poor due to driving an old car.. yet logic, math and economics show that you cant base someones wealth on their car/house.. as many people might be owning that home/car on some DEBT agreement to appear flashy.. but have costs that bite into their income deeply..
where as smart people would buy cars/homes in full using a small amount of income(that is the professor and even elon)

hardly anyone buys a lambo out-right using a suitcase of cash or a debit card, the majority(stats) finance their cars when getting them new from dealerships.. so dont assume in the rare case of the super rich paying small percentage to buy things, to then assume the working/middleclass are super rich because they have a flashy car(which majority of cases is on finance)
and like i said dont assume a professors of a university is poor/earning min wage because he has a tweed jacket and a old car
That is almost all the rich people I know, because they realize that every single dollar they spend, could be spent on growing their wealth and business. Imagine this, consider you have a big company, and you can hire people for 50k a year, or you could buy a 1 million dollar superlux car, would you rather get 20 people working for you for a year, or would you rather get that car?

I would definitely get the people. I think it is quite important to consider that we are going to get a lot of smart and rich people picking the same thing as well. This is why it is not about rich or poor, stupid people spend their money on things they do not need, and smart people prefer to spend their money on things that will make the more money.

yep, exactly

on another note about OP observations
i once(before i settled down) seen a woman at a bar on a first date. she was an obvious gold digger, and she just bluntly asked how much was in my bank account.
i literally laughed..
.. firstly she was playing low ball games and obviously new to gold digging/dating..
i knew things wouldnt go further with her as i was not interested in gold digging, so i friendzoned her that second and gave her some advice
(we still talk occasionally, and she has upped her game since, and found her sugar daddy)

"when your dating someone, and assessing if they is rich. dont look at the car they drive or clothes they wear as they could have rented a car/suit to impress you for a one night stand but be broke at the end of the month, those people are called 'players'. and dont ask about bank account balance.. majority of rich people keep their wealth in investments, not their debit card account, they only keep a couple months of living in a debit card, max. so instead no matter what they wear or drive, just ask them if they invest much.. as thats a sign they have more money than the average guy that lives pay-cheque to pay-cheque"

i gave her a few other tips to gauge a guys wealth in a more stealthy way without bluntly sounding like a gold digger (without asking/interrogating for exact numbers)


anyway back to the topic title
as i said before
labour roles do come with a tiered ranking of income

a college janitor gets paid less than a TA/RA a TA/RA gets paid less than a college receptionist/admin, a admin gets paid less than a professor.. so the professor is on more then the OP thinks
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop adding features to Bitcoin that don't facilitate its use as electronic cash on: March 19, 2024, 07:33:41 PM
Bitcoin was designed to be "electronic cash".  Nothing should be changed in core that does not support this mission.

The title of the Bitcoin white paper - "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".

You should know that Bitcoin is an open source project which means it's open to everyone and of course development is a must and if the community agree to something for the better of the protocol, it will be reviewed as "Bitcoin improvement proposal" and and agreed date which modification will be added through soft work which means that even though you don't update your client to the latest protocol, you can still use the network efficiently.

bitcoin used to be secure.. where by anyone could propose something, but it only activates if majority update their node to be ready to fully validate the new ruleset/feature.. this is called good security.. and  was the entire point of full nodes and a decentralised network

however now hardly anyone can openly/freely make a BIP due to CORES control of the BIP list and their moderation policy of the tiered system of even discussing proposals before they can even be listed in cores BIP list
and then we have core that slip in nw features without needing community agreement because.. as you say and admit.. it does not require users to upgrade to agree to the new feature

327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Quiz] Answer the Bitcoin question and earn merits! #1 on: March 19, 2024, 07:11:40 PM
sorry to have to correct you but
You are totally right BlackHatCoiner but those are 2 different things, one thing is the 51% attack, where the miners can modify confirmed blocks, and the second thing is the double spend where the user modifies the unconfirmed transaction.
I think you didn't understand BlackHatCoiner well.
Any mining pool can try to perform a 51% attack and you don't have to own more than 51% of the total hash power to do that. That's what BlackHatCoiner says. He didn't say anything about double-spending.

Question: The dominant mining pool, at the time of writing this, turns evil and uses its hash-power to reorg the chain. A customer of yours sends you a transaction. If you wait for 10 confirmations, what is the chance that the dominant mining pool successfully double-spends / reverses your transaction?

a chain re-org could include all original chain transactions but just change the pool reward address to the malicious pool.. thus win all the rewards for 10 blocks
but altering-removing transactions then allows transactions that were deemed as spent. to then be unspent, to then be able to be spent again later. so they are 2 different things and yes blackhat did mention double spends. not just chain re-orgs for personal gain of rewards
328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop adding features to Bitcoin that don't facilitate its use as electronic cash on: March 19, 2024, 06:42:59 PM
They utilize the feature of discounts for their own purposes
What discount are you talking about? We are all allowed to select any fee rate we want. Ordinal users have priority, because they pay outrageous amounts of money. Pay more than them to have greater priority. Isn't that fair?

blackhat dont play dumb fool like doomad does.. he keeps learning things then unlearning things months later just to look a twit, just to cause controversy and play dumb to pretend he enver gets debunked, just to poke the bear.. stop copying him
you know full well that the tx data is rated at a different data cost to the witness data

you know about the cludgy code of the miscounting of bytes called vbytes.. so why play dumb? are you trying to win an award for being a twit?
its like you and doomad pretend to want to win a prize from the alzheimer society every few months, why?

Those adding these tokens and "inscriptions" on the blockchain are willing to pay a ridiculous fee on the belief that the bitcoin blockchain does a better job at immortalizing their digital items.
"What's the point of freedom if you don't have the freedom to make mistakes?". I agree that Ordinals is trash, and we should warn everyone about it, but we shall not ever dictate to them what they are allowed to do for their own good. And let's be honest here, we don't care at all about them. We only care about ourselves paying a little more than usually in transaction fees.
even you know that its not 'just a little', your tribal drum beat has been to stop bitcoin scaling due to hard drive costs to store the blockchain.. yet scaling bitcoin in 5 years and storing a couple decades of data at scale only costs $50, yet strangely you think paying a $50 fee FOR ONE TRANSACTION due to the congestion caused by junk is 'just a little'
you have no logic in your explanations, you just recite your masters crap without a thought... i was hoping 2024 would be a new year for you, a fresh start.  but instead you just shadow an idiot yet again.. why do that to yourself

secondly even you know the rules of bitcoin WERE stronger whereby every byte counted and had meaning and reason and purpose to secure and validate the movement of bitcoin.. then it was softened(to allow a feature gateway for other networks that came with exploits) and miscounted and assumed valid without checking bytes, which then allowed junk via the exploit of not counting every byte properly and validating every byte for purpose.. sorry but if metadata has got nothing to do with moving bitcoin it should not be on the bitcoin network.. and definitely should not be treated as a different fee rate to the movement of btc..
if you dont want people moving bitcoin to pay for coffee/pizza via making the movement of btc more expensive, why be so happy to have a unrelated, junk monkey pic that costs a different data rate fee.. you make no logical sense.. apart from desires to annoy bitcoiners to advertise other networks as the thing they should use due to the junk you pretend to hate but dont want to have cleaned up because secret you adore its presense
329  Economy / Economics / Re: The Prices of Labour. on: March 19, 2024, 12:31:39 PM
if you think someone's income is measured by the car they drive, you would be incorrect

many people with flashy cars are in debt to the car dealerships lease agreement. they dont have positive net-worth
You can't really judge like that, what if the professor gets huge inheritance from his parents? what if he has many businesses and working in the university is just like a part time job?

The real rich will spend their money to buy everything they like because they know their income is way more higher than their spending.

Why did Elon Musk spent $72 Million to buy a big house? he can live comfortable in small house because the purpose of house is same, only the size is different.

Let's imagine someone has $100 Million net worth, he's rich right? he can afford to buy lambo, but he keep thinking it's better for him to invest the money. While Elon Musk has $188 Billion net worth, buying one lambo won't hurt him.

i didnt say all rich people are not flashy
i said SMART PEOPLE dont waste their cash so dont flash it around and instead invest it

elon musk is not cash rich, he is paper rich. he is on paper a near trillionaire so his house was ~0.0072% of his wealth

The thing is, we as users decide to use technology in a certain way, even if it was not originally designed for that purpose.

Take the telephone for instance.. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone for people to talk to each other.. then Telemarketers saw an opportunity to use this technology to spam people with telephone calls to market their products and services.

People think of ways to spoil technology for other people, just because they can profit from it.

there were less ways to spoil it 2009-2016.. the issue is what one team decided to do to loosen the rules to make it easier for them to throw in exploits whilst making it more annoying and more of a headache for everyone else. and they were warned and had years to think about closing their exploit, and done nothing..
their "feature" they added 2017 didnt actually help the majority of actual bitcoiners, it just helped create the gateway for other networks, all the promises they made in 2015-16-17 of advantages onchain it would give did not manifest..
and here we are years later still discussing the exploit they added but the lack of care of securing the network again.. but we then have the cultish religion admiring the cludge as it helps promote the need of their other network
331  Economy / Economics / Re: The Prices of Labour. on: March 19, 2024, 02:15:52 AM
if you think someone's income is measured by the car they drive, you would be incorrect

many people with flashy cars are in debt to the car dealerships lease agreement. they dont have positive net-worth

the smart people realise they should not waste money on a car because car value depreciates minutes after driving out of the dealership, and every 6 months there after

the smart people buy a rust-bucket that is of no consequence, that just gets them to work and home..
where by they can just buy another rust-bucket of a car for just the equivalent of a few months of what would have been a lease agreement..
the smart people saving by not having lease agreements, then throw that extra money into investing = positive net-worth

math
us minimum wage $2600 a month
us minimum new car lease $520 a month

meaning a leased new car is like 20%+ of someones wage at minimum.. for like $18k in 3 years
people are locked into DEBT lease for 3 years

yet they can buy outright a basic 'get to work' rust-bucket using just 6 months equivalent of lease($3k), but as cash where it should last 3 years, where they then have saved 6x the cost of getting to work, and having no debt

paying ~$3120 for a car for 3 years instead of $18k for 3 years. means $15k then goes to investing instead of some dealerships pocket
smart people(like professors) dont waste money on depreciating assets like flashy cars or flashy dress/suits

so dont base someones income/wealth on what they drive or wear.. reality is those being flashy are flushing their wealth away



its also worth noting the education system has a tier of income/salary
someone working in kindergardens would be recipients of minwage
primary/k-12 would be in receipt of a level higher
secondary/highschool (public funded/state funded) next level up
college next level up
university next level up

so a university professor is not on min wage but several levels higher of income compared to a toddlers nursery/kindergarden
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop adding features to Bitcoin that don't facilitate its use as electronic cash on: March 19, 2024, 01:58:41 AM
Whether you like it or not, we can do what ever we want with it long as there is a majority consent for it.
Even better. You can choose any network you want, without majority approval. That's the game changer. We don't need Bitcoin elections. Simply spin up a Bitcoin client with X rules. See who follows. Done.

what blackhat +doomad like.. and admit too.. is where bitcoiners no longer form majority consent for a new feature to activate(core softened that requirement), where previously things only upgraded based on if a feature will benefit bitcoin.. but now instead the paradigm is allow core to throw in any feature they want without consent(softened consensus trick not needing majority network readiness(not needing secure node readiness to understand new stuff)), where people can just follow cores direction, or let their junk pass unvalidated.. and the only option for users is to move to a different network if they dont like cores direction(cores roadmap or make altcoin is the cults narrative)

sounds like tyranny to me..
when idiots dont believe in consensus(consent of the masses) or blockchains solution to the byzantine generals issue of avoiding central points of failure, where they instead prefer the central CORE point of failure to have administrative and moderation control.. it reveals who wants to stagnate bitcoins scaling via bad code that only benefits other networks.. just to promote that people should move to other networks
..it reveals who are the true sociopaths that dont care about bitcoiners and only care about their underground cult agendas of recruiting people into their fluffy cloud utopia of the next life.. (its not a fluffy cloud over there, its worms in the ground feeding on you)

read doomads and his cults post history, every time there is a discussion about features that benefit BITCOINERS vs subnetworkers*
he hates features that will scale bitcoin to allow more transactions and ease of use of bitcoin as it hurts his recruitment campaign of other networks

if a subnetwork is dependant of a mainnet.. its UNDER (sub-servant/child/slave) to the master
(*and many do call them subnetworks(google shows many results), doomad just hates it being called a subnetwork and not a higher level)

their narrative is to want bitcoin to stagnate, become less used day-to-day. be only used by elitists, calling other networks the solution.. basically hates bitcoin and wants people to love other networks

and yes doomad does love to idolise subnetworks as being better than bitcoin options ("solution", solution", "better", "faster", "cheaper", "the future of")

and yes doomad is cultish, as is his followers(blackhatcoiner/windfury and the other ilk of subnetwork adoration committee AKA echo chamber recital party of doomads choir/hymn sheets)
he doesnt want the current life of bitcoin to grow and prosper(he hates talks of scaling bitcoin), he is inviting people to abandon this life(bitcoin network) and prosper in the next life(subnetworks)
he sees the next life as the fluffy clouds above.. a brighter utopia/heaven
i however see his next life as 6 foot in the ground where the worms play

..
bitcoin USED TO BE more open.. until CORE(as the name suggests) became the central point of failure where CORE devs own the moderation of technical discussion and the sole reference client people should follow and need to kiss the monarchy ring of hierarchy just to get code accepted and used

..
if you think these word games that are used are not as deep as you think. then you are brushing aside that there are actually well paid sponsors pushing agenda's and they can be noticed by seeing a certain group echoing this same narrative and wording

Bitcoin developers pave way to the development of Ordinals and BRC20 tokens but they are not the developers of the tokens. It was later seen as a bug but which might intentionally be included by bitcoin developers.

the exploit/bug was a known thing and warned of consequences in 2016 before the activation/opening of the bug(softening of the rules) occurred in 2017**
the result only shown itself in later years when idiots used the exploit to cause headaches

Short of switching to closed-source code (which I hope will never happen), I don't see how such things are meant to be controlled.  Anyone can build what they want and there isn't a way to stop them.  Bitcoin doesn't have a hierarchy where you ask for permission to do stuff.  If someone writes code and then other people run that code, things can happen.  Even if other people disagree.

bitcoin does have a hierarchy.. its called CORE.. all proposals have to go through cores vetting, else get REKT

"Added features" is a bit of an improper way to put it. There are no features added, apart from softforks like Segwit and Taproot of course. Ordinals is a concept that makes use of the already existent features.
use of an exploit added 2017

You don't like paying high fees. None of us does. However, it is the nature of the system such that the demand and supply of the block space defines the transaction fees.
wrong. core changed code to miscount bytes and multiply other bytes to change the natural sat/byte space count of space
the fee bumps of fee estimation is also a new things that caused unnatural fee climbs

Censoring a transaction you don't like is a thing that happens in fiat. Not in here.
rules/code are actually there to keep the network clean(or atleast used to)
but even now not everything should be on the network and even core devs knows some tx are not fit for the network
they even use terms like
'dropped', 'un-relayed', 'purged', 'dust-swept', 'orphaned', 'ignored, 'abandoned', 'pruned', 'stripped', 'evicted'
yep even mining pools are not forced to include all transactions (empty blocks)
so stop pretending junk needs to be included because you think its censorship otherwise..
preventing certain junk is actually about having rules to run a clean network
having bad code that doesnt even validate junk and let it pass is insecure and makes the network worse


** (the junk was pre-warned in 2016...)
secondly. legacy(old) nodes wont benefit from it. also old nodes will have more issues to contend with. such as seeing 'funky' transactions. aswell as still not being able to trust unconfirmed transactions due to RBF and CPFP.
..
fifthly, the 4mb weight. is only going to be filled with 1.8mb tx +witness data. leaving 2.2mb unused. but guess what. people will use it by filling it with arbitrary data. such as writing messages, adverts, even writing a book into the blockchain. what should have been done was allow 2mb base thus needing ~3.6mb weight.. and also adding a rule that 'messages' could not be added. thus keeping the blockchain lean and utilised just for transactions and not novels/adverts/messages. afterall if a communication tool like twitter or SMS can limit how much someone writes.. then so should bitcoin.
we will definetly see people purposefully bloating up the blockchain with passages of mobydick or over nonsense. and core have done nothing to stop it but done everything to allow it.

sixthly, as i slightly hinted before. by not limiting sigops, not preventing arbitrary data being added, core have incentivised bloating by discounting it. but have then added the fee's to reduce bitcoins utility of an actual transaction ledger..
this has to be emphasized over and over.. adding bloat is discounted(free) but sending a real transaction is costly

These days most people rather consider Bitcoin as a safe asset for investment purpose rather than a electronic cash. There are many other crypto-currencies that can be used better for the purpose of payments than Bitcoin due to its high fees. You can't convince everyone to consider it as an electronic cash anymore.

But that's only because people don't look at the big picture.  All of the stuff that will make Bitcoin scalable, efficient and more conducive to use as a daily currency will likely happen on higher layers that haven't been built yet.  The primary function of the base protocol is to be resilient and secure.  And it is.

"higher"?? pfft.. laughable!

you mean LOWER LEVELS
stop trying to promote your crappy subnetwork as being "higher" (subliminally: better)

your stupid subtle wording is not going un noticed.. the subnetworks you adore and want everyone to abandon bitcoin for just doesnt do as promised.. and no patience will fix those problems of the subnetwork

yes YET TO BE BUILT subnetworks will have NICHES for certain use-cases, but bitcoin network still needs to scale.. stop trying to assume bitcoin needs to stagnate and be patient whilst you and your clowns promote everyone should shift to other networks and abandon using bitcoin for in your inferior minds opinion of abandoning usage on the bitcoin network being a benefit to bitcoiners .. cos its not a benefit to bitcoiners

making bitcoin more of a headache/expense just to transact, more congested, bloated with meaningless junk. is not a benefit to bitcoiners
bitcoins never leave the bitcoin network.. using another network with IOU unsettled units(tokens pegged) is not the same thing
using another network doesnt make you a bitcoiner, it makes you a subnetworker
using a CEX custodian doesnt make you a bitcoiner

#not-your-keys-not-your-coin


him trying to say junk is ok to be allowed to continue, but genuine bitcoin transactions should not happen.. is not a benefit to bitcoiners

..
"resilient and secure"?? pfft.. laughable!
doomad loves that bitcoins rules got softened.. its another headache added to bitcoin to promote his favoured subnetworks that everyone (in his mind) should move over to use
he says people should not buy coffee/pizza/groceries on bitcoin ($2-$200) (0.00003000-0.00300000)
but junk meme of monkey/json junk should be allowed on bitcoin  ($0.20) (0.00000300)
doomad doesnt want the rules to be hardened again(secured) as a secure resilient network harms his subnetwork promotion games

the overly simplified formulae is overly simple for the days of CPU mining of "1cpu=1 vote"
(we are no longer in the days of 1 cpu/node=one block candidate*)
(we are no longer in the days of most CPU/hashpower being equal per block candidate*)

the dynamics of mining has changed..
if the second dominant pool(honest) was close to 30% also. thus then affects the luck of the dominant pool getting all blocks of next 10 blocks to get ahead

as oppose to if all other honest pools only had a couple % each

imagine it this way
if mens 100m sprint average 9.5 second records because their muscle mass is higher
then the chase between men has a formulae

but iff you then add in womens 100m sprint which they have a lower muscle mess their numbers produce longer times to win.. meaning

a race of 5 men is a competition of who can get ~9.5sec win
a race of 1 man and 4 women .. the guy wins pretty much every time.. even if both cases are 5 people competing

so yea if there are 2 pools both competing at 30% of network.. there is less chance of one man winning every race if they had to do the race 10 times in a row
as oppose to 1 dominant pool vs 4 submissive pools where the dominant pool wins every race

so run the scenario and see the difference

a.
malicious pool 30%
honest pool 30%
honest pool 30%
honest pool 5%
honest pool 5%
(imagine this like a 3men olympic race competing with 2 disability olympic racers)

vs
b.
malicious pool 30%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
honest pool 10%
(imagine this like a 1 male olympic racer competing with 7 female olympic racers)

..
* the white paper formulae is based on this:
malicious node 10%
malicious node 10%
malicious node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
honest node 10%
(all solo mining but 3 colluding with one chain candidate missing out the intended tx)
(imagine this like a 10 female olympic racers)

which is different to how things are done now, and how the question is asked, thus needs a different formulae to calculate risk

i dont even want merit. i just want people to think deeper about actual math, data, statistics and real information.. and not just use outdated notions

what jetcash is eluding to.. is:
where whales(custodians) lock up say 1m btc each (per country/continent). which only moves infrequently between the whales(countries) onchain when they have good inter-communication onchain

where by they then split their reserves to people under them in some subnetwork per country.

but under this system he views it where normal people no longer rely on the bitcoin network for payments/UTXO ownership. but instead rely on custodians that have the UTXO and users have 'child tx' which unsettled and also has a parent(custodian) funding it which is also unsettled inbound balance(IOU) to the child tx on a countries domestic subnetwork so they can swap their unsettled IOU balances between other people on their domestic subnetwork via changing the unsettled(unconfirmed) balance of candidate parent-child transactions

its not the entire market.. you need to learn a few things.. such as "whale walls" aka unnatural temporary resistance/support.. which cause a large lump of temporary (ghost) walls to stop prices going up too high(resistance) or down too low(support) and thus changing the sentiment of the market and other traders

its also worth noting some other notions that interplay and are related

understand several notions:
you do know that people trade with bots right - true fact
you do know that when the pattern breaks the bots dont know what to do next right

another notion:
you do know that if you watched the last 4 years you can see the symbiosis between what happens on the futures contracts cause whales to then tinker with the spot market to ensure their futures contracts complete at X(you see periods of market stagnation with unnatural flat periods 2022 was prime example of that)

another notion:
did you know that if you calculate the mining costs of different regions of the planet.. that 2021-22 had floor and ceiling of $15k-$75k which the market TESTED

another notion:
did you know this year the floor - ceiling of mining costs is actually $25k-$140k
yet the market is not testing new bottoms or tops but being controlled in the middle with actual resistance/support WALL which correlate to a mass of future contracts that want to complete at X

when you see that the market doesnt want to rush to $80k even if there are people that have mining costs (if they mined) at $130k plus, so would happily be buyers $75k-$130k, yet you notice the main whale resistance WALL pile up, which goes against the natural flows

another notion:
when markets move naturally then sudden drop, usually thats a whale wall causing the drop to get the price to stay below a level.
when they relax their resistance walls you see prices naturally climb

..
now put all these notions together with an emphasis on whales day-trading with bots.. and realise they dont like the unknown. they like to be in control to snipe daily-weekly-monthly profits.. they are not in the buy to hoard game when day trading. so they want to keep their bots actively sniping small percentages regularly on spot and getting their larger profits from futures.

..
heres some other observations to notice:
did you know you can identify when a bunch of whales stepped in to control the market with walls..
.. when these resistance walls appear massively and move away to either create floors or roofs.. if other minnows,shrimp still bite on a whale. the whale arbritrages their filled order via the other trading pairs of ETH
BTC->USD  ->  USD->ETH  ->  ETH->BTC (when their sell wall (resistance) gets bit)
USD->BTC  ->  BTC->ETH  ->  ETH->USD (when their buy wall (support) gets bit)

look where the natural flows of BTC-ETH change(straighter unnatural(controlled) line)


they do this to do a round-trip(arbitrage via eth) to get back to holding coin if a shrimp filled their coin order of a resistance sell wall, so they can get back to having coin again to keep a sell(resistance) wall visibly there

they do this to do a round-trip(arbitrage via eth) to get back to holding USD if a shrimp filled their USD order of a support buy wall, so they can get back to having USD again to keep a buy(support) wall visibly there

there is no need for a candidate for S.N
even you(bitcoinmoses/leezhamiliton) are not doing any benefit with your nonsense games either.. there is no need for it.

your wasting your time and our time .. these nonsense games are not required.
use your time to actually learn bitcoin instead of being a twit

as for the CSW quote of not going on mainstream news again.. its simple.. he doesnt get paid to be in the news. however being asked questions on the news is like him giving away his narrative/story for free but he promised his story to be documented and released to production/publishing companies at a cost to repaid the sponsors he scammed/partnered with.. so he said that to comfort his sponsors that his narrative/story had value which he hoped would entice a bidding war to get him to speak
so far no one wants to give him movie deals. which is a good thing. lets hope movie producers want to pay the COPA side for their side of the story
(rational/factual side)

CSW is only doing paid book/convention/speaking tours, for hustle money.. trying to stay famous/relevant but not for free
its all about the money for him.

you too have been noticed by many people of playing these same silly games of you pretending you have bad some involvement with the early adopters, you pretending to have had some involvement with early devs. you trying to fame yourself up and then saying you will write a book about things you know/people you know/things that you pretend to be
you are wasting your time

you will have more success learning bitcoin and using bitcoin.. not abusing it, using it. by this i mean investing in bitcoin and riding through the market cycles.. i dont mean fabricating social narratives to ride the fame train
