Please 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.

I'm reminded of a question Peter Thiel asks founders: What is one thing you believe that nearly everybody else disagrees with you on? Having a good answer means you might be onto something big. Everyone building on BSV has a pretty good answer right now.

But there is no good answer while everyone disagrees with you

Highly misleading. This runs on an alternative network called Bitcoin SV. It's most definitely not Bitcoin, but a fork of a fork of a fork. Amusing really, because the "SV" stands for Satoshi's vision. The founder, Craig Wright has been bamboozling people for a long time with his nonsense. It's so long ago that most have forgotten, but the real Satoshi weighed in on a pretty heated argument about whether the Bitcoin…

It uses "Bitcoin" to refer to the protocol, not the BTC network. People fought about the name "Bitcoin" for ages and everybody has their own opinion about this topic. The network that you refer to as Bitcoin has forked several times as well and least resembles the original protocol and idea when compared to BCH or BSV. OTOH the market values it the highest.

I don't like the phrase of storing data on the chain. The blockchain is not a storage medium but a network that incentivised connectivity and data propagation.

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…

Almost a half hour without introducing FUD. You trolls are losing your edge

Commenters have objected that this is BitcoinSV rather than Bitcoin, so I put SV in the title above. I don't actually know what that means, so let me know if I got something wrong.

It uses the Bitcoin protocol and operates on the Bitcoin SV network (notice the space) by default.

If you're interested in this sort of idea, you might be interested in beaker browser [0] (I'm not affiliated in any way). It is essentially a way to browse files hosted on a bittorrent-like api, so anyone can seed a website to keep it up. I think it's still a work in progress though and has a lot of features left to add. [0]: https://beakerbrowser.com/

We're working on our next release. I tweet about it (@pfrazee) and do weekly streams on sundays (twitch/pfrazee).

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.

I guess that's true if you think good == popular, but I don't.

Except for an early hard fork due to a transaction verification bug that allowed for infinite Bitcoins to be created, the main Bitcoin chain, as implemented by the Bitcoin Core client, has never forked, to my knowledge. It also seems disingenuous to claim that it doesn't resemble the original protocol, when the block size cap that the forks adjust, was put into place by Satoshi himself.

BSV is for an old version of the bitcoin protocol. People launch these daily.

There is a pre-2013 patch version of the bitcoin protocol too. People play around with it for kicks, because the exploits are already known. Maybe some exchange trades it.

This is just called an old version, due to consensus.

Ideology is just a distraction.

There are quite a few projects being built using BitcoinSV compared to any of the other "old versions" though, right?
