If you hate vote manipulation come to memo

Reddit is bot and troll infested. Come to memo.cash. That’s where the real action and knowledge is.

Calvin blinked

Apparently Calvin has stated that if ABC/BU/XT/etc win, then he will consider that the "valid chain" and work towards it.

O_o

It doesn't work like that.

Chains don't become valid or invalid because you win or lose.

If the ABC chain was going to, say, increase block reward subsidies to 50BCH in perpetuity, do you follow that chain?

No. It would be invalid.

CSW and his little shill army are "marching to war" because ABC is supposedly wrecking BCH and making it "invalid" with CTOR and DSV.

How do these magically become valid to you just because you lose your "hashwar?" I mean, Segwit definitely has more hashrate, and none of us consider it "valid." RBF isn't "valid."

What this means, folks, is that this isn't about ideology no matter how much the nchain shills try to manufacture dissent.

What this means is that ABC's changes aren't actually controversial in Calvin's eyes.

What this means is that the "war" is being fought on false pretenses.

This isn't about ideology. This isn't about code. This isn't even about the development process.

This is about control. Full stop.

It has nothing to do with "what's best."

It has only to do with "what's mine."

Kraken supports Bitcoin ABC on the 15th of November :)

Illegal gambling, futures markets on murder, and other undesirables are already possible without OP_CDSV

Recently, Craig Wright has claimed that the motivation for Bitcoin ABC's OP_CHECKDATASIGVERIFY is to allow for illegal activity on Bitcoin Cash by enabling futures markets and on-chain gambling. But there's a problem with this claim: You don't need OP_CDSV for any of those things.

You can do on-chain gambling without CDSV. You can do futures contracts (e.g. for assassination of a target) without CDSV. All you need for that is for an oracle to SHA256 two secret messages, and then only reveal one of the two messages later on. The spend transaction needs to produce the secret message in order to spend the transaction.

An oracle can publish two SHA256 hashes:

1. SHA_A means that JFK has been assassinated as of Jan 1st, 1970.
2. SHA_B means that JFK has not been assassinated as of Jan 1st, 1970.

The oracle keeps the messages which are used to generate those hashes secret until 1970, at which time the oracle releases either MSG_A or MSG_B, such that SHA256(MSG_A) = SHA_A, and so forth.

A market can then be established for transactions that pay out to a different pubkey depending on which of the two messages has been revealed.

Thanks to Thomas Bakketun for pointing this out.

This SHA256 mechanism can be used for all of the illegal activities that CSW has claimed were CDSV's purpose, but cannot be used for awemany's 0-conf forfeits idea, or Mark Lundeberg's pay-to-identity and PGP-on-BCH ideas, all of which specifically require ECDSA verification.

Astroturf posts about 32 MB blocks by BMG (affiliated with faketoshi) are a ploy to distract you from the fact that Craig S Wright, Calvin Aire, SV, and Blockstream Core are attempting to divide and harm the BCH community.

SV is a divide and conquer play. Boycott any exchange or business that supports SV.

PSA - Bitcoin SV engaging in social media manipulation and fake 32MB blocks propoganda.

There is a wave of threads about 32MB blocks being mined but Bitcoin SV trolls didn't mention is that these transactions were NOT broadcasted to the network. Therefore, the only miners who knew of these transactions, are the Bitcoin SV miners mining them, since other miners don't get to see it. Obviously, after they mined these 32MB blocks, the propaganda became active. This reminds me back of all the CoinGeek lies and fake articles about what happened during the Thailand miners conference. These unethical assholes need to be driven out from Bitcoin Cash ecosystem.

Secondly, Bitcoin SV trolls keep accusing others of social media manipulation. It turns out they were the ones doing these all along and here's the evidence.

https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/9vw7zr/someone_is_running_their_vote_bot_on_different/

These sounds like typical government propaganda and misinformation tactics, Bitcoin SV is accusing the enemy of doing what they are actually doing themselves.

Thirdly, Bitmain alone has multiples more hashrates than Bitcoin SV + pro BSV combined.

I came from a neutral position to pro ABC (at least for now) because it is very clear now that Bitcoin SV is toxic and harmful to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. These unethical assholes need to be purged. It seems like they have no good parental upbringing at all. The more they tries to engage in social media manipulation, the more we need to speak up against it.
