bnktothefuture.com
is headed up by Max Keiser(and others) and used as a kind of kickstarter, VC portal for crypto businesses.

however the screenshot of the email looks unrelated to bnktothefuture.com and the email looks "scammy".
i can see many red flag buzzwords/rhetoric
overselling their influence. "having lots of friends".. but instantly red flag "will turn off other phones ignore emails and dedicate myself to you"
who in the moral/ethical world would do that!!

basically if someone would turn off their phone and ignore emails to work solely with their most recent client.. expect yourself to be ignored once they find their next client

from my knowledge bnktothefuture do not cold-email people inviting them to facebook groups.
the screenshot of email looks like someone trying to speculatively grab people and probably find out the facebook group then makes financial demands or gets people to pay a fee or some other agenda to coax funds out of you.

in short if i received it i would assume a scammer is trying to suggest they are linked to bnktothefuture.com to coax your trust into blindly going to a facebook group to be persuaded into some "scheme".

I can't wait for Bitcoin Unlimited Take Two, where the block reward is dynamically determined by the free market...

actually those that love core were coming up with an option where dynamic blocks are possible, but with a penalty of reducing the blockreward if its implemented. and greg actually liked it

Elastic block cap
The heart of the suggestion is - instead of forbidding large blocks, penalize them. The miner of a large block must pay a penalty that depends on the block's size. The penalty will be deducted from the funds he collects in the generation transaction, and paid into the rollover pool, to be distributed among future miners. If the penalty exceeds the miner's income of tx fees + minted coins + his share of the current rollover pool, the block is invalid.

This requires choosing a function f that returns the penalty for a given block size. There is great flexibility and there's little that can go wrong if we choose a "wrong" function. The main requirements are that it is convex, and has significant curvature around the size we think blocks should be. My suggestion: Choose a target block size T. Then for any given block size x, set f(x) = Max(x-T,0)^2 / (T*(2T-x)). (graph)

This will mean that there are no penalties for blocks up to size T. As the block size increases, there is a penalty for each additional transaction - negligible at first, but eventually sharply rising. Blocks bigger than 2T are forbidden.

I think this kind of proposal is a massive improvement on proposals without this kind of control; and while it does not address all of the issues around larger blocks-- e.g. they do not incentive align miners and non-mining users of the system-- it seems likely that proposals in this class would greatly improve a some of them of them; and as such is worth a lot more consideration.

Thanks for posting, Meni-- I'm looking forward to thinking more about what you've written.

silly people wanting to play with bitcoins mining rewards output as a appendix to allowing bitcoin onchain scaling

its like saying "yea you can have more capacity but we will destroy bitcoins 21m coin cap mechanism if you do"

ofcourse messing with mining rewards is stupid and no one should even try messing with it. anyone seeing positives of messing with the blockreward mechanism should be watched, we should be careful of their other idea's. you never know what is hidden as a appendix to their concepts hidden between the lines of code
19203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are you all - Sheep? on: December 01, 2016, 12:39:55 AM
Why does everyone just stand around doing nothing while nullc / Blockstream / GMax takes over Bitcoin?

Did people say this when Gavin was in control and the Lead developer? People want their bread buttered on both sides. They complain that Bitcoin cannot scale to accommodate for mainstream adoption, and when someone develop something to address that, then they still complain about them.

SegWit and LN is probably not the best option, but it is better than nothing. Increasing the Block size to help with the scaling problem, will only increase the possibility that we will have a spam fest and more attacks on Bitcoin.

So what is your solution to the problem?

so segwits 'fee discount' is not going to entice a spammer by making cheaper bloated tx's more often.
and do you think someone maliciously wanting to spam will use LN?? think about it

as for the capacity boost.
the 1.8x of (2500 average tx) or 2.1x(2150 slightly bloated realistic more multisig tx) both equal ~4500tx IF 100% of people used segwit
same argument is
IF 100% of people done lean 1in 1out traditional transactions(not segwit) we would get ~5200tx (the good old 7txps promise)
19204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: where can i read unbiased arguments For and Against Segwit? on: November 30, 2016, 10:57:27 PM
the most unbiased fault of segwit.

1)
is that fullnodes should control what is an acceptable rule.
the implementation of segwit is avoiding using fullnode consensus to get it accepted.

when activated full nodes had no choice of acceptance or veto.
at the moment only ~1900 nodes of ~5400 nodes (todays stats) would be able to fully validate segwit transactions if activated today. rendering ~3500 nodes less than full node status, relying on the ~1900 to validate and hand them legit segwit tx they can only relay and part 'test' for conformity (but not full validity)

which is a financial security risk
the hope is that (using todays stats as example) ~1900 nodes is 'enough' decentralized diversity to head the validation on behalf of the 3500 nodes

2)
the end user experience of the 'technical solutions' will not all be solved as promised
RBF, CPFP and CSV are new 'official' mechanisms that replace the double spend problem that malleability 'bug' causes to gateway merchants/services.


3)
the one time capacity growth is only achievable if fullnodes switch and use it, the projections of 1.8x-2.1x is only if 100% of transactions are segwit.
based on the old stat of average tx ~400byte 2500tx a block base assumption

segwit   legacy%   capacity 1.X
    0      100%      1.00
    5      97%        1.02
  18      90%        1.08
  36      80%        1.16
  54      70%        1.24
  90      50%        1.40
109      40%        1.49
127      30%        1.57
145      20%        1.65
163      10%        1.73
181      0%         1.81

so 2500 tx becomes 4500tx
even using the newer 2.1x thats based on increased multisig use which at base assumption is 2150tx a block. which after calculations still amounts to the same ~4500tx 100% utility if everyone switched to segwit, whether the assumption was
standard 2500tx a block base assumption 1.8x
multisigmix 2150tx a block base assumption 2.1x

so expect ~4500tx if 100% utility

the funny thing is while the promise of more capacity is based on 100% segwit utility. there is the equal and opposite one too
if everyone done lean 1in 1out legacy transactions. we would get the ~4200(uncompressed key(old old))~5200(compressed key) transactions (remember the days of the lean tx allowing 7txps)

reality and utility is far different then expectation

4) fee discount
though those that do use segwit get a discount. it has a bait and switch. tx fee's have risen. thus the end user experience is just a fee rollback to last years prices.. try not to think we can get to below 1cent a tx like we did in 2012-14

I agree with franky1's view on this. Do not listen to those guys they have their own self interest and agenda and that comes first for them.

In the final part of the video it said that the Bank of China is planning to create a blockchain for "digital Yuan". It also mentioned that it is based in Bitcoin's technology. So will it use Proof of Work?

nope, hyperledger again.. based on blockstream not bitcoin - note1 - notes2(note 2 more informative but wordy.. note1 summarised and opinionated*)
using POA (proof of authority) which is signing a block by known authorised entities
POA is a hybrid of POS (proof of stake) but without any randomness of users being the signers.. instead just known banker 'notaries'

much more like blockstreams 'liquid'... much less like bitcoin

faucets allow those that are poor to atleast use/experience bitcoin at no investment cost only a time cost.

as for charities for the poor outside of bitcoin, that requires proof of charity.
EG
if a noob with no ranking begs for funds.. forget it.
if a proper charity that shows results (transparent spending frontline and not wasting 10%-90% on headoffice 'costs') was to display a bitcoin address on their website(not some $2 newly created site/blog). and then advertise the actual charity and its POSITIVE and economical use of the funds..  

then many have been known to happily donate.
prime examples
seans outpost+++++
economic use: the guy asking for donations is the guy making food for poor,
proof: he has shown results
link to charity: has address on website to legitimise donation request rathr than strange noob username randomly posting in btc address on forum


red cross+-
economic use: they waste 50-90% of funds on non frontline support
widely know: yes
proof: they shown results
link to charity: media hype about red cross partnering with bitpay. though bitpay DO host a donate page on bitpay. red cross has no bitcoin QRcode address option on red cross donate page

19207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New SegWit stats? on: November 30, 2016, 03:17:57 AM

That is merely pure speculation. Why? Because we do not have a final implementation of he Lightning Network yet. Basing that hypothesis on the early proposals, maybe it might hurt them. But it might not be in a big way like what you are trying to project. Do not forget that LN channels will and have to close at some point.


im sure there are some taint analysis groups that can spot things like satoshi dice-esq gambling sites, faucets, and other services that would happily utilise LN to save them costs while also running a hub to earn fee's from users to literally cost them nothing to settle.

and then make some statistics of projections of how much those services are using bitcoin to see the possible benefit if any if they used LN.

EG if these regular spending services dont do much compared to the rest of the community, we wont see much of a change.
19208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Go start your own fork you stupid fuck - on: November 30, 2016, 01:45:42 AM
The notion that 95% consensus is going to solve this is crazy.  Just as soon as GMax realizes 95% cannot be achieved, they will declare 85% enough for consensus and invoke SegWit on that.  Otherwise, we would clearly be stuck on 'no changes' forever.  

pools wont get to 95% for a more rational reason..
unless they see that there are enough nodes to double check the data that competing pools push out

although a soft fork doesnt need nodes to activate. pools rationally wont start sending out funky data unless they see the node network not only accept it but FULLY validate it..

thats the mutual 2 part security.. nodes validate out bad blocks and pools validate in good tx's
they need each other.
even if a feature only needs one side.. both sides are mutually exclusive rather than not involved with each other.
its a double union concept, they work together but on separate things.

hense why doing what the community want will inspire the community and then inspire the pools.

again dynamic block with default starting 2mb base 4mb weight is a
win for scalability community,
win for second layer one time boost community
win for pools confidence

triple win

More like promotion for BTCC rather than discussion/news regarding bitcoin price surge.  Grin
But video is nice.

I do not think that they are dumping bitcoins. They are just closer to the source. ^smile^ 

19210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scaling Bitcoin. Is consensus achievable? on: November 30, 2016, 12:32:22 AM
1. do you agree that LN uses multisig. where 2 parties co-sign agreed tx data. if yes read on, if not, research and come back later.
hint 2: both signing = both seeing a copy to be able to sign
Somewhy you fail to understand, that both parties sign the same commitment transactions before they can be broadcast.

i understand it.. i was the one telling YOU that
here is me telling you its one TX they both sign and you arguing the opposite

they both hold the same relevant tx at the same time.
No, they hold different txes, which however distribute funds in similar ways.

Both parties have seen both commitment transactions. But each party has only one of two commitment transactions with both signatures.

you do know that multisigs needs 2 signatures.
you do know that to agree to what you call a "commitment" both parties need to see and agree to it.

Y can't broadcast that transaction because he doesn't have it. He instead has another transaction corresponding to the same state,

funny that in lastest post your arguing with yourself

Another hint: commitment transaction that Alice holds was created and signed by Bob. Now Alice holds this transaction, she sees it, she can sign it. Same with Bob's transaction. It was created by Alice. But Alice can't herself broadcast transaction which she created, because this transaction lacks Bob's signature. It's how multisignature works. You need both signatures for a transaction to be valid.[/b] Please bother to carefully read either the articles or my narration (or both). May be I'm bad at explaining, because English isn't my native language?

another failure on your part. unless its signed by both sides its not committed.
it needs to be seen by both sides to be signed by both sides to be fully commited. otherwise the state wont update.
no one in LN will update the state unless its fully committed. you cannot broadcast a tx without both signatures so you wont accept anything thats only one sided.

hense they both sign to both commit to the same terms. so that that if one of them goes offline they know the other has signed their part on the side they kept...

like any contract.
imagine a bank loan agreement if a bank signed a loan and passed it to you... you kept it but didnt sign the copy you kept
imagine a bank loan agreement if you signed a loan and passed it to the bank... they kept it but didnt sign the copy they kept

this leaves things open to abuse.
hense why both need to see BOTH signatures


About your scenario. I'm not sure I fully understand it, what do you mean by B(X) for instance? What do you mean by "maturity 1000 blocks"? It's not tx which matures in 1000 blocks, it's one of it's outputs that does so (in fact not even so, it's one of ways the output can be spent which matures in 1000 blocks).

firstly
THE scenario was me writing it in YOUR concept to show wher YOUR concept fails.

secondly
A(X)is using YOUR identifiers because you first started with X and Y.. then changed to A and B.. so i combined A(X) lets call her alice xavier.. and then a separate person B(Y) lets call him Bob Yonker.

thirdly
right at the bottom i said "the output spendable to him instantly before maturity expires"
im not sure where you got tx from.

summary:
they are just 2 entities. but i tried to use your identifiers.. but YOU kept switching between  X Y then later A B ..
aswell as your flip flops between dual signed single tx and duel signs separate tx..

JUST PICK ONE CONCEPT THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU AND STICK TO IT.
OR EVEN BETTER
stay uptodate and then know the latest concepts and know what the main guys are trying to build. rather than the flawed out of date stuff



By "out scripts" you mean scripts of 2 outputs which commitment transactions create, Out script1 is for output1, Out script2 is for output2, right?
Then how it's possible
Out script2: if relevant(1klmnopqrs987654321 B(Y) val: 1btc); if irrelevant(1abcdefghij123456789 A(X) val: 10btc)
that the same output may result in significantly different amount of BTC spent, depending on a condition?
Not to mention, that commitment transactions in simple bidirectional channels create only 1 conditional output.

you can have a condition attached to any and all outputs
when its first broadcast its treated as relevant. so a future spender (once maturity expires) would care about this:
Out script1: if relevant(1abcdefghij123456789 A(X) val: 9btc); if irrelevant(1klmnopqrs987654321 B(Y) val: 10btc)
Out script2: if relevant(1klmnopqrs987654321 B(Y) val: 1btc); if irrelevant(1abcdefghij123456789 A(X) val: 0btc)
it ignores the irrelevant part meaning A(X) alice Xavier gets 9btc.  B(y)bob yonker would get 1btc.

however if B(Y) Bob yonker invoked a CSV revoke
when its first broadcast its treated as relevant. but revoke is invoked and so a future spender would care about this:
Out script1: if relevant(1abcdefghij123456789 A(X) val: 9btc); if irrelevant(1klmnopqrs987654321 B(Y) val: 10btc)
Out script2: if relevant(1klmnopqrs987654321 B(Y) val: 1btc); if irrelevant(1abcdefghij123456789 A(X) val: 0btc)
it ignores the relevant part meaning B(y)bob yonker would get 10btc. A(X) alice Xavier gets 0btc.
19211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Go start your own fork you stupid fuck - on: November 29, 2016, 10:26:23 PM
I think you underestimate the ability of authorities around the world to force ISPs in their jurisdictions to block Bitcoin network traffic in order to protect against flavor-of-the-week bogeymen.

At that point, it becomes a cat and mouse game. The leaner the requirements (bandwidth) to facilitate a working Bitcoin network, the easier it is to maintain it in the face of direct censorship.

I filter EVERYTHING through that lens. We have basically ONE asset (you could argue other cryptocurrencies as well) on the planet which can't be controlled by some authority. I don't want to lose it.

When we have a worldwide decentralized wireless mesh network in place which is capable of hosting the Bitcoin network with blocks bigger than 1MB, I will gladly support increasing the direct on-chain scaling of Bitcoin. Until then, we should use layers that can be peeled away in a worst case scenario situation.

Bitcoin means one thing to me: Freedom. I'm willing to wait a long time and pay handsomely in order to write into the permanent ledger that every full node must keep a copy of forever. I can use cash and credit cards for everything else.

All transactions do not need to be censorship-proof in a world where censorship-proof transactions exist.

As far as "ignoring the problem", I strongly believe that everyone who wants to increase the on-chain capacity simply by increasing the block size is ignoring the problem. There are real trade-offs and I will err on the side of a lean, robust block chain every single time.

Anyway, instead of attacking me, why don't you do something constructive and enact your solution and let it compete on the market? I'm not screaming for change in another new thread every day, I'm perfectly content to have everything remain in stasis for years to come. I'm not interested in "Bitcoin for the mainstream" and I personally don't believe the average mainstream debt slave cares about Bitcoin in the slightest.



i talked about ISP issues many times im fully aware i even broke it down into how easily it is for ISP's to do it

ok. another worse case scenario.

a government could via united nations/interpol set up a sudden international tactical strike

this can be done by
https://bitnodes.21.co/
getting all the IP's and finding out which ISP that ip belongs to.
EG in the UK its under 230..in the U.S its under 1500

so imagine tomorrow under 230 homes out of 20 million households have their internet disconnected
at the same time
in america under 1500 homes out of 100mill households have their internet disconnected
and so on
even things like proxies are useless because the landline has been literally cut off for upto 6000 locations
think its impossible? its not. ISP's have millions of customers and regularly turn the internet off on 10's of thousands of users every week due to breach of contract/non payment of bill.

they would also take bitnodes and other DNS seeding locations offline to further cause drama of new node locations not being able to link up, though smart people will just join an IRC channel and request a list of working ip addresses to manually add node connections

as for the network
what would happen is that the countries with no "partnerships" to whatever agency is organising this tactical strike will continue on. and people who are affected would need to either move house or go to court to get their internet ban lifted or change ISP which can take upto 10 days in some cases.

again it wont require an all out "ban the internet" of 1.5billion people. but instead disconnecting the land lines of under 6000 people to cause alot of drama and issues.

the solution is to get more diverse. instead of bitcoin nodes running in just 91 countries it needs to be running in all 200 countries. and also needs to be running via satalite and other non landline/ISP reliant methods

the data/bloat is not an issue.

you do realise that 1mb base 4mb weight is the end-sum acceptable and same bloat as 2mb base 4mb weight.. the difference is that its actually utilised better, not holding it back at 1.8mb(lean) to then later utilise the spare 2.2mb for other features, but instead allowing more just lean transactions through. at a metric of 3.6mb(lean) with 0.4mb for other features

also breaking the network into layers only works if the layers didnt have to rely on eachother
the downside of that. is that then really is an altcoin..

also by being completely detachable makes people more careless, and less scrutinising things because they think if everyone has moved over to the bankers hyperledger (like your hinting) then its ok if bitcoin dies because peoples funds are no longer on bitcoin.

again the banker endgame agenda, get people to not care about bitcoin because they dont understand the "service" they were directed towards.

my mindset is to scrutinise and look at all attack vectors of bitcoin to keep bitcoin strong. and yea i am not here to kiss some banker paid devs ass or trust a dev .. after all if they decide to retire (satoshi) have medical reasons to stop(hal finney) quit(hearn) or join the bankers (hearne maxwell wuille).. where would we be left when they are not cough "maintaining" the code" cough

we need to think about bitcoins network first. not what devs want, not what bankers want. especially if what the devs and bankers want differs from the ethos of decentralised permissionless peer-to-peer currency with no barrier of entry
19212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Go start your own fork you stupid fuck - on: November 29, 2016, 09:09:46 PM
Therefor, the best solution is one side to create a block which the other side refuses to acknowledge.

^ his solution, ban each others ip to avoid consensus by refusing to acknowledge eachother....... basically an intentional split reworded.(gmaxwell twin?)

the point is that there is no need to discuss it further.

^ his solution, dont mention the problem just shut up and stand in the corner. let the bankers advertise uninterrupted

i can see where Holliday's allegiances lay.. very obvious what his desires are.

You know that is bs. Read the whitepaper without making up stuff like the pay pal 2.0 that people have been saying to you is wrong over and over and over  and you still don't look up the facts.
Is Bitcoin BU really that bad that you have to make up stuff to make it happen?

lol white paper??
blockstream stopped following satoshis whitepaper in 2013-2014.. even just a few months ago they actually wanted to edit it to suit their new rhetoric
https://news.bitcoin.com/revising-satoshi-white-paper/
Quote
I have seen people promote toxic and crazy ideas, and then cite parts of the paper in an effort to justify it.
https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/1325

its only toxic to the banker paid devs that want to change bitcoin for the worse.. not toxic for citizens of the world that want some something that remains open and border/controll less.



as for the LN white paper.. that has been outdated too. the current concept does have penalties, spend-ability after confirm delays and revoke funding (chargeback) facilities..

but you just have to learn what CSV and CLTV do to see it plain as day.
think about the reality of end user experience of the 'service' they receive with CSV and CLTV included.

forget the shady buzzwords. actually think of real world utility and real world experience of using them.

Bitcoin shouldn't be compared to the internet.

What bitcoin did was more like mp3, napster, torrent did. There are many similarities. Those technologies are riots against big companies, just like bitcoin is a riot against big banks.

Bitcoin, just like the others gave us freedom.

bitcoin is like the internet. its a network. but the services/browsers on the network, have seemed to be pointed more in the direction of AOL branded netscape with built in mp3 player. to dominate the internet
where millions use AOL and only a few hundred thousand uses napster/torrents

no longer are people thinking about the internet as an open and diverse network, but something AOL should dominate in because they trust AOL to do a good job to give them all the internet solutions there could ever be.

shame on those people especially if they deny who is actually paying investment into the AOL brand and what AOL's actually contracted to do to promote bankers alternatives (like when AOL got bought out by time warner)

replace:
"AOL" for "blockstream"
"services/browsers" for "nodes"
"napster/torrents" for "independent node implementations"

 and analogy applies

the funnier part of Gmaxwell (nullc)
is that he works for blockstream.. who work for hyperledger(bankers altcoin)

Quote
I've been telling them to go and create their fork for over a year now.

The fact of the matter is that for a least a few of the vocal people involved do not actually want a fork and don't really believe that users want it either. They just want to disrupt Bitcoin, create FUD, and slow technical progress while then invest in competing systems.

as for the last sentence i underlined from him. he loves his fiat and monero income.. get has not stable bitcoin income/if any.
blockstream got MILLIONS of dollars for a team of say 40.. thats nearly $2million each if equally split. with maxwell being he cheif tech/supervisor im sure his cut is much higher.

he has lost all care and desire for bitcoin. all his idea's have been to push the community apart with:
intentional splits.. not consensual upgrades
increasing fee's to throw third world unbankable countries out of bounds of using bitcoin

now he is pushing hard with his colleagues for LN (bank 2.0) which has many and high fee's

going against blockstream is not disrupting bitcoin. its instead preventing banker dictatorship twisting bitcoin away from "permissionless affordable peer-to-peer currency with no barrier of entry" to what blockstream want, which is "permissioned hubs with fee's, penalties, settlement delays, and chargebacks"


permissioned: LN= dual signed multisig ...buzzword: 'bidirectional channels' managed by hubs
fee's: open channel onchain fee, LN swap fee, multihop fee, hub management fee, close channel onchain fee
penalties: not signing in acceptable time, denying payment
settlement delays: coin maturity after confirmation onchain (CLTV)
chargeback: output revoke codes (CSV)


the devs:


who they really work for and got millions of dollars investment from.. (hyperledger)

No one can force someone else to run software against their will.

The community is clearly divided between those who want to keep the block chain as lean as possible in order to preserve decentralization at the cost of on chain scaling, and those who want to put every transaction under the sun in the permanent ledger that all full nodes must keep a copy of forever.

These two sides will never see eye to eye! There is no point in furthering the perpetual argument.

Therefor, the best solution is one side to create a block which the other side refuses to acknowledge.

Forking will resolve these differences in the blink of an eye.

the solution is
dynamic 2mb base 4mb weight.
remember 4mb weight is still 4mb weight.. thus not causing any more bloat harm than core is allowing. but HOW that data is used within the weight and also what that can be utilised for changes.

both sides win and then let the freedom of how users transact decide what happens

oh and that solution does not cause an intentional split. just some temporary orphan drama if the % adoption is not high enough before adoption, hense a 95% is only a 5% risk which pools have already found acceptable

win win win

The world is moving forward and so is Bitcoin. Back in 2009 segwit wasn't on the table because there was no need for it.
Just because Ford didn't think of putting seat belts in his car when he designed it doesn't mean that Fords with seat belts isn't Ford.

but segwit is not an adjustable seatbelt.
segwit is putting 4 wheels on a motorcycle to emulate a car, but get special permisson to use the bike lane.. to then advertise 2 wheel motorcycles in the future that require the passenger on the back to charg you for his time to let you use the carpool/bike lane simply because 2wheeled bikes are faster.

as i see it segwit is only an alternative way to have 2mb, so in the end it will be like we have 4 MB when 2MB will enter in play isn't this good? why yuou say an altcoin, when it's still need to be activated anf require a certain consensus to do so?

the person calling it an outright altcoin is saying it i presume. for the same reason core devotee's are calling anything not core an altcoin.
even when other implementations have been running on bitcoins mainnet for atleast a year.

the base of segwits code (the concept) did not begin in 2009 from satoshi's vision. segwit began separately as an altcoin as part of blockstreams elements and then tweaked into being bitcoin compatible version

it changes alot of things 'under the hood'
how data is stored on peoples computers, how its relayed between nodes, even how the transactions and blocks are formed.
though its bitcoin compatible. its alot different to the original vision.

many say if certain things change in bitcoin. like if stupidly its suggested to change bitcoins coin cap and difficulty retarget patterns to emulate say litecoin. then bitcoin is no longer bitcoin.. even if the 7 year historic data still continues growing and all nodes are connected to that same chain of data that goes back to satoshis genesis block.

so although its not an "altcoin" in the traditional sense (separate network) the direction its taking us in is far different than imagined in say 2009-2014

(thats about as unbiased as i can word it)
