.. wrong USE of a protocol (cant help - shit happens)  - not wrong protocol  - ( that contains segwit, RBF, hodl, ponzl shill ...  - and is not Bitcoin -  hard defined and works for 10+ years )

 Cheesy
682  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BSV] BitcoinSV - Satoshi's Vision for Bitcoin on: November 09, 2020, 10:53:57 AM
There is no bug in BSV - there are  more in other protocols - bsv code gets audited btw

the issues are apps / 2nd layer tech

and trolls



sigh

Things are momentarily improved in terms of fees as the price has somewhat stabilized, at least relative to how its been for the last couple weeks, so not as many people are trying to get get their coins rapidly on or off exchanges. For a long time I've thought that the fundamental/intrinsic value of bitcoin decreases as fees increase, as higher fees equal less likelihood that it is viable as a means of currency.

I think this time around second layer solutions are in place to onboard regufees turned off from the price of fees -- its just a matter of them adopting to it (Liquid by Blockstream is actually easier to use than LN -- its just missing any sort of awareness).

Nice... how to force the masses into 2nd classes   wtf!

WRONG! BIP-148, also known as the User Activated Soft Fork, actually showed that the miners do not vote. The community who run full nodes do. The miners simply followed, and gave the full nodes the type of blocks that full nodes demanded.
i hate it when people sugar coat BIP148 like this.
a true UASF is when there is a clause in the process about reaching >95% consensus. but when that is omitted and also the risks of splitting the bitcoin network into two chains due to lack of support and disrupting the billion dollar currency for even a short time is swept under the rug, it becomes more of a malicious attack instead of something positive!
during 2017 i don't remember the number of nodes signalling for BIP148 surpass 5k out of the 100k existing nodes by that time and the hashrate behind BIP148 was about 1-2%.
in my view there is absolutely no difference between BIP148 and MAHF (aka bcash) in that regard.

any change in bitcoin protocol must happen only after reaching more than 95% support from the entire network* or not happen at all.
* the entire network is both miners and nodes. you can't exclude either one of these two.

Mostly right.

I d say it even more strict

Any protocol consensus change is not allowed and keeping the Satoshi Bitcoin brand.

Bug fixes / capacity refactoring ( max block size was a temp fix to counter cheap spam attacks)

So all those changes introduce any sort of attack vectors- where legal ones are coming to be the biggest...

Unless the protocol itself is changed where it's possible to move coin without private key.
How can non-mining nodes change the Protocol?

UASF, UAHF, use client which follow different protocol, etc.

Non-mining full-nodes cannot change the protocol. This can only be done by miners.

If those funny nodes never find a block, and miners stay on their path - byebye little nodes

nah

Do not increase the 1MB block, because it will save users money - this is a BIG LIE from the Core developer.

[Citation needed]

4.The fact that the node will be held by someone else, there is nothing wrong. 99% of users work this way now. Because a non-mining node can't harm the user in any way. After all, the user has the private keys. This is in any case better than working through Coinbase.

Unless the protocol itself is changed where it's possible to move coin without private key.

Do you forget side-chain, off-chain and tokenization?
"Do not increase the block, because this leads to centralization.  "
and
"Go to another sidechain, or tokens on another blockchain, where there will be millions of transactions, which means there will be large blocks, but this will not be centralization."     Facepalm Smiley

What i meant is combining all of them (increase block size, side-chain, off-chain and tokenization) and let user choose what they want.

Right - combine all of them, why dictating just one (not) from above? ( cough block size)

Free markets WILL find the right way

We can't blame Facebook for this ban...
after all, it's their platform so it's up to them to make any rules. I have not been active on Facebook for a long time and only use Facebook for bounty reports. I am much happy with Twitter which gives freedom to its users, although currently, the issue of vulnerability is still Twitter's homework.

Twitter give freedom to its users?  Seriously?  They may be better compared to facebook, but otherwise they are certainly not giving people freedom.

691  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-10-21] Paypal to allow Bitcoin buying and selling on: November 04, 2020, 08:55:25 AM
paypal wallet is the  most popular in the world and i think they should have to give the permission to buy and sell bitcoin  
because i have heard a news that we can withdraw bitcoin in paypal account but the users should use it legally so that the paypal team will also support them.

"Legally" where?   Who's laws apply?  Who decides?  What happens when China or Russia or someone in the EU or the US pressures PayPal to lock someone's account?

A centralized company to a decentralized currency is a recipe for disaster for anyone who decides they want to do something that the powers that be don't like:  want to spend $10 gambling?  Locked.  What to receive $10 from your friend who won it gambling?  Locked.  What to support a web site that isn't in the pocket of a giant media company?  Oops, locked.  Look at how Twitter, Facebook etc are censoring different views.  Just wait until they can lock your wallet if you dare to disagree.

Until PayPal allows people to withdraw bitcoin, it is not a lot of use.

There was no news or announcement that Paypal would allow cryptocoin withdrawals.

Also, Paypal would never allow cryptocoin withdrawals. They would be open to the liability that criminals and terrorist organizations would be moving funds through them.

They already do KYC / AML duties, but what happens on (soft) forkery ? Coin-protocols go full dark, make AML harder / impossible ?  Will they list zcash, monero,... btw ?

Bitcoin is a public open ledger, you could use it as immutable pseudo-transparent logging source (dont put in any plainCID) - so that helps

at scale

low fees

Dr. Wright has never brought out a brand new crypto coin BSV is Bitcoin, traceable from the Genesis block of January 2009. Other assets, such as BTC and BCH, claim the Bitcoin name and their backers will naturally attack anything that claims legitimacy on theirs.

Nope, there is no such decentralization... that is only twitter based brain wash args by core / Blockstream


Easy to say for you, but have never provided valid proof.

Just as there is no valid proof that increasing the block necessarily leads to centralization.  Smiley

But we have excellent proff that the current block size leads to centralization for users.

Millions of new users can't use the blockchain because they simply don't fit in. And to use bitcoin, they must cooperate with custodial services. They have no other option. Coinbase, with 25 million users, demonstrates this perfectly. 25 million !!! This means that half, or even more than half of users, use bitcoin through a centralized service.

Bitcoin is turning into a network of "bitcoin banks", where users trust their funds to them, and the blockchain for transfers is mainly used by"banks".

... used by grey / dark big players

Right, and PayPal, Revolut, ... are the better, compliant side chains now - LN is non-compliant joke here.  As is also Segwit (RBF, P2SH, taproot..., ) that forked good original transparent ( and such compliant & legal) Bitcoin into sth different , darker thingy - now try to compete with Zcash, monero, DASH ...all the illegal crypto stuff.  
'Nice' attack vector for reguators to tear down crypto - btc with them.  Read US / UK FCA stuff here - EU / China all in the same boat imo.

There is only one clean scaling option left - ready & cheap for all to use - but dark / ponzi loving trolling want to keep you out here

Oh, and it can do smart contracts and tokens on top as well, so we could get rid of eth or any other shitcoin here, just with clean Bitcoin.

Why is that bad?

Or with that reply, are you simply trolling?

I think I understand how Bitcoin works very well, I don't need you to certify a degree for me to acknowledge my level of understanding of how Bitcoin works - I had a very simple question in this thread which was referring to the high fees and the mempool, and I saw no other thread about this in this forum, at least not recently - assuming most people are happy to pay high fees - but I'm not ... I took the initiative to ask "what's going on" and got some nice information here ... you seem to turn this into a personal attack.

I don't know you and I am not interested in knowing your opinion, if you have a minor issue with this thread you don't have to respond nor be an *** about it.


I believe you don't truly understand, because if you truly did, you wouldn't be compaining in a way that is unconstructive.

Bitcoin is slow, and inefficient because maintaining the network's censorship-resistance/decentralization - it's main value proposition, and making it scale out is HARD. The Core developers don't have the power to bend the laws of Physics.

Nope, there is no such decentralization... that is only twitter based brain wash args by core / Blockstream


Easy to say for you, but have never provided valid proof.

Clean Bitcoin works with unlimited block size like a champ. Segwit, LN, ... whatever was just a brutal attack. Now ppl pay the price


Like the centralized shitcoin forked from Bitcoin Cash called Bitcoin Cash BSV? OK.

I believe you don't truly understand, because if you truly did, you wouldn't be compaining in a way that is unconstructive.

Why are you taking it into a personal level if we make a claim that Bitcoin is centralized and not decentralized?
You might be a Bitcoin fan or love it the way it is but if you can't accept criticism that is your problem and not ours.


I'm not taking it to a personal level. It just saying if you truly understood. I'm also not trying to insult you.

I listen to the criticsm, and be willing to debate why the basis of it is wrong.

In your opinion, what should the Core Developers do to fix the problem.

Proof:

High fees, limited capacity, CORE devs forking the protocol (for what reasons ever)  -> THIS is centralized (planning / usage) - and no longer Bitcoin
