1 sat \ 3 replies \ @gregtonoski 6 Jul \ parent \ on: Anyone got plans to dump ecash fork? Replay Attacks etc bitcoin

Disagree. The reason why there isn't anything about a chain split in the BIP-110 is because the BIP-110 isn't splitting the chain.

BIP-110 does not cause a chain split so there isn't any special replay attack possible. https://bip110.org

Ask them directly. Thousands of people contacted them and received responses so you can make it too.

There are enormous contributions like the Bitcoin Knots with BIP-110 implementation which anybody can download and install to be ready before the BIP-110 activation in August 2026: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/.

There are very good articles, e.g. http://www.citadel21.com by Hodlonaut, https://wtfhappenedinfeb2023.com/, video tutorials https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University by Matthew Kratter, podcasts, e.g. Knut Svanholm, Bitcoin Mechanic and so on.

Hunter Beast looks like an agent provocateur/troll/saboteur and not an actual proponent of the BIP-110 (a.k.a. RDTS). There are many serious proponents available for discussion and who contribute to the website http://bip110.org.

  1. What do you think were the top 3 events that caused the reaction/lead to the creation of the BIP-110?
  2. Have you ever contacted Jeffrey Epstein?

The BIP-110 is not a hard-fork. It doesn't create chainsplit. Read more about the upcoming (August 2026) activation of the BIP-110 at bip110.org.

The best scaling solution is a chain without spam so set the parameter datacarrier=0 in the bitcoin.conf file and run Bitcoin Knots: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/.

Troll alert! As typical for trolls, the wall of text is 100 times longer than the specification of the BIP-110 (a.k.a RDTS, which is about 10 sentences in total): https://bip110.org.

Has @Scoresby even read the article? Its main theme is different.

Anyway, @Scoresby can ask the author about the meaning of the datacarrier parameter if it's not clear from the tweet.

1 sat \ 0 replies \ @gregtonoski 3 Jun \ on: Does bitcoin have to 'go up' to be a good currency? bitcoin

Yes, Bitcoin "value" must go up as the civilization progresses. Volatility is normal. The hypothetical constant 3% depreciation annually wouldn't be normal.

Thanks for the travel report. Illuminating.

If you have better insights into why Bitcoin payments failed on the island, or how they continue to flourish underground, then please let me know.

It seems that the "Bitcoin payment failed on the island" not more than in all other places around the world. I think that Bitcoin payment didn't fail altogether. I suppose that there will be more and more Bitcoin payments. However, I don't expect them to dominate everyday, frequent purchases, e.g. consumer goods (Laszlo's pizza was an exception IMHO). Do you expect so?

Maintainers of Bitcoin Core software are lagging behind
