Data centers.
Doesn't that run contrary to the idea of Bitcoin being decentralized?
Not if there's a data center in every city on the planet.

#142Please note this is hosted on the BitcoinSV (BSV) network, which is not the same as the Bitcoin network that we all know as BTC. BitcoinSV has much bigger blocks than Bitcoin, which is probably why this idea is possible. While the same idea could be applied for the original Bitcoin network, that is far more popular, it would be highly impractical as blocks are smaller and transaction costs are higher.

This post is running around BSV-associated social media outlets. [1] [2] BSV is a project almost entirely propped up by a billionaire gambling tycoon named Calvin Ayre who is promoting a known con-artist named Craig Wright [3] as the inventor of Bitcoin. They promote BitcoinSV, which came into existence last November as the "One True Bitcoin". They are invested in massive astro-turfing for publicity and to lend thems…
You know your comments looks exactly like paid astroturfing, right?

The network itself has no name. The network protocol has a name - Bitcoin. The exchange ticker BTC is for the altered Bitcoin protocol now called Bitcoin Core or Segwit. The exchange ticker BSV is for the restored (not fully restored yet) Bitcoin protocol. The bottle browser and the whole Metanet can only run on the original Bitcoin protocol which is supported by the node software developed by nChain named Bitcoin SV…
Bitcoin (BTC) is Bitcoin. Saying it's "altered" is like saying that Hacker News is "altered" because its code has evolved over the years. Saying BSV is the "restored" Bitcoin protocol is like saying retrohackernews.com is the "restored" Hacker News because it runs on an old fork of Hacker News. That doesn't make it Hacker News. I'm not saying that Bitcoin has become good or bad; I'm saying it's Bitcoin. BSV folks spe…
> If BSV is superior to Bitcoin, it should prevail through its own merit, not through language gymnastics in online forums.
Agree 100%. That's why the focus is on utility, and will keep delivering until it's obvious.

I don't care if you fork Bitcoin. It's open source, fork away!
But don't masquerade as Bitcoin and intentionally confuse people. That's not cool.
And if you build new things on top of this foundation, and you also intentionally conflate the names with an intent to deceive people, then you certainly don't have my best interests in mind.
I'll stay far away from this project.

It is BitCoin. Same address space, same hashing algorithm, same consensus rules.
BTC is just one version of the BitCoin experiment.

Bitcoin SV is most definitely bitcoin. It is simply the original bitcoin protocol, ie. with all the stupid things that were added to "BTC" since 2009 removed. ... that makes it infinitely scalable and useful like bitcoin was supposed to be, not just for money, for data storage, and for computation. No Segwit No RBF No block size limit No limits on scripts or data sizes BTC is useless in comparison... and the 'ad homi…
> It is simply the original bitcoin protocol, ie. with all the stupid things that were added to "BTC" since 2009 removed. Bitcoin SV clearly introduced many changes. But those changes are backward-incompatible for Bitcoin nodes, meaning that every one of them will reject an SV block. It really doesn't matter what you think about the wisdom of what was added since 2009. All that matters is that Bitcoin nodes will igno…
You're talking about BTC, not BitCoin.

Bitcoin SV is not Bitcoin. It looks like a sophisticated attempt to co-opt "Satoshi's Vision", and in doing so, delegitimize real contenders to BTC, like Bitcoin Cash. The rhetoric used to promote Bitcoin SV is very similar to that used to promote Bitcoin Cash, but it also adds a lot of anti-cypherpunk arguments like anonymity being criminal, censorship being in line with the original purpose of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin…
Who cares? It's all BitCoin. Bottle is cool. Unwriter is cool. Everything you said is just political mumbo jumbo that has nothing to do with BitCoin and everything to do with the ideological neuroses of the BTC developers. Nobody uses BTC seriously besides criminals and hobbyists. You can't blame them for making a more efficient version of the same system.
What I said has everything to do with Bitcoin. Things like anonymity and resistance to government control are central to the purpose of Bitcoin. I have no idea what the basis of your claim, that "Satoshi's Vision"'s anti-Bitcoin ethos don't matter to its categorization as Bitcoin, is.
