    A brief history of the attempted takeover of Bitcoin by BlockstreamCore/The legacy banking systems/The Powers That Be

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 04:06 PM PST

    Bitcoin takes power away from the government, and gives it to the people. Bitcoin not only takes away power from governments, but also makes the legacy banking system obsolete.

    You think The Powers That Be will let this happen without a fight? Think again. Blockstream was formed for the purpose of stifling the growth of Bitcoin. No, they are not simply a greedy corporation that wishes to profit off of Bitcoin. The sole reason for Blockstream's existence is to cripple Bitcoin and make it useless.

    The following people have all been Blockstream employees, and are Bitcoin Core developers (besides Adam Back):

    • Adam Back (Co-Founder & former President, now Chief Executive Officer)
    • Gregory Maxwell (Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer)
    • Luke Dashjr (Co-Founder)
    • Pieter Wuille (Co-Founder)
    • Matt Corallo (Co-Founder)
    • Jorge Timón (Co-Founder)
    • Patrick Strateman

    Blockstream received $76 million in funding from AXA, one of the largest multinational insurance corporations in the world, whose (former) CEO and Chairman, Henri de Castries, is also Chairman of the Steering Committee for the Bilderberg Group.

    Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin was to allow massive on-chain scaling so the entire world could use it. The 1 MB block size limit exists only to intentionally create problems for Bitcoin, driving up the fees, and making the coin useless. Adam Back was added to Blockstream for the sole reason that he has some "clout" because he was mentioned in Satoshi's whitepaper. A new leader was needed to replace Satoshi, and fight against his vision. This is Adam Back.

    The main communication channels (/r/Bitcoin, BitcoinTalk Forums, and Bitcoin.org) are all owned by a man named Michael Marquardt, AKA theymos. Theymos has most likely been threatened, or paid off by powerful people. /r/Bitcoin is completely censored for the purpose of controlling the narrative. The CSS of the subreddit was even drastically altered to hide the fact that hundreds of comments were being removed through systematic censorship. Any talk of raising the block size limit, or criticism of Blockstream or Core, will get you censored and banned. In order to take over Bitcoin, you must control the narrative, and trick people into thinking that crippling Bitcoin with high fees is a good thing.

    Bitcoin XT was created to try and alleviate Bitcoin's scaling problems. When this project gained traction, and Coinbase started testing with Bitcoin XT, Coinbase was removed from Bitcoin.org. These intimidation tactics from the BlockstreamCore regime are extremely common. There have been too many of these social attacks to even list. For example, Roger Ver is often called a scammer, a felon, and a convicted criminal who went to prison for selling explosives. These are the typical ad hominem attacks used. Roger Ver, along with thousands of other people sold harmless firecrackers on eBay. People play with firecrackers (at their own risk) for fun, and to have a good time. They are also technically explosives. The law on the sale of these was also never enforced, and many people bought them off eBay. So although Roger is technically a criminal, because he committed a "crime", and he technically DID sell "explosives", people try to make you think that maybe Roger was actually a dangerous domestic terrorist arms-dealer who sold explosives as weapons.

    Projects like Bitcoin Unlimited were created in an attempt to fix the scaling problems in Bitcoin, and gained widespread community support. But talk of BU in /r/Bitcoin was disallowed. BU was attacked viciously in every way shape and form. The developers were accused of running a scam, trying to purposely centralize Bitcoin, etc. BU was a major threat, because it would take power away from BlockstreamCore, and make Bitcoin great again. BU on many different occasions was attacked using exploits in its code, to shutdown BU nodes. These attacks were almost certainly done by members of Core, like Greg Maxwell. These events were widely publicized by /r/Bitcoin in an attempt to shame BU and prove that the developers are incompetent.

    Over time, many other blatantly obvious astroturfing campaigns took place in order to control the narrative. UASF, NO2X, AntBleed, and ASICBoost were all bogus astroturfing campaigns meant to stir up controversy where there was none, and to "rally the troops".

    In the early months of 2017, I witnessed a "community flippening" occur, in which there were more hardcore/legitimate members of the Bitcoin community in /r/btc, than in /r/Bitcoin. People were waking up to the censorship and social attacks that were occurring. The people who remain in /r/Bitcoin at this point are mostly newbies who have just entered the space, useful idiots who can't think for themselves and have undying loyalty to Core, and paid shills.

    After realizing that BlockstreamCore will never compromise, Bitcoin Cash was created to restore Satoshi's original vision. Bitcoin Cash was immediately attacked in many ways. It was called ChinaCoin in an attempt to trick people into thinking it's a centrally controlled Chinese scam coin. It was called Bcash (and sometimes Btrash) in an attempt to take Bitcoin out of the name. When users posted about Bitcoin Cash in /r/Bitcoin, they were directed to post to the fake /r/Bcash subreddit. Bitfinex and Trezor even listed the coin as "Bcash" even though this just confused people more, as Bitcoin Cash was never referred to as Bcash by any of the development teams.

    Bitcoin Cash was attacked relentlessly. When Coinbase and Bitstamp added Bitcoin Cash, /r/Bitcoin tried to rally the troops to boycott them. When the Bitcoin.com wallet added Bitcoin Cash, /r/Bitcoin attempted to rally the troops to leave hundreds of 1 star reviews on the app store.

    Eventually a popular tipping bot called "tippr" was invented. Over a couple months, this gained massive traction and increased adoption substantially. Tippr was attacked in recent hacking attacks, where password reset links were sent to the emails of Reddit accounts, the passwords of these accounts were changed by the attackers, and then the Bitcoin Cash in their tippr balance was stolen. This was one of the greatest mistakes of the BlockstreamCore regime. It is now blatantly obvious that the email accounts of these users were not compromised. It is also unlikely that this is an exploit in Reddit itself. Reddit is the EIGHTH most popular website in the world, according to Alexa rank. A zero day exploit that allows ANY REDDIT ACCOUNT to be taken over, could potentially sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the black market. Yet the exploit was used to steal maybe $5,000 bucks tops, from a Bitcoin Cash tip bot? How come the tip bots of other cryptocurrencies were not targeted? The answer is because it wasn't about the money! Bitcoin Cash is one of the greatest threats in the cryptocurrency space, and it is being specifically targeted in many attacks. I don't expect Reddit to reveal any details of how the tippr hack was done.

    Extremely powerful forces are behind the takeover of Bitcoin, and the attacks on Bitcoin Cash. For those of us that have been around a while, it's blatantly obvious what is happening.

    Where does Bitcoin Cash development discussion take place?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 11:56 PM PST

    BTC has the mailing list. For BCH I understand there's a Slack channel or something, but I couldn't find a way to get inside.

    I know I won't be able to contribute much, but I would love to be a spectator to watch and learn.

    Electron Cash 3.1 is available for Windows and Linux

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 05:20 PM PST

    https://www.electroncash.org

    Electron Cash 3.1 is ready for windows and linux.

    The big change is the new address format, known as CashAddr. Also has a cool toggle feature plus an address converter.

    Also, we reduced the fee slider so the minimum fee is 1 satoshi per byte. Lower fees are possible with manual setting.

    I also introduced a safety feature so that it SHOULD be impossible to send more than 50 sat/byte. I'm tired of hearing the stories about the people that accidentally paid an 80 BTC fee or something. Hopefully it stops some people from shooting themselves in the foot.

    Mac version with CashAddr support should be coming in 1-2 days. The android version will need a lot of work so no immediate plans to support CashAddr, but hopefully within a month -- we'll see. At the very least we'll publish a new android version with the low fees and possibly integrated QR scanner.

    Big thanks as always to those involved in the development. I just play one small part. And remember the exe are deterministic. No need to trust me.

    Electron Cash now supports the Ledger Nano S

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 08:55 PM PST

    You can now send Bitcoin Cash using your Ledger Nano S with Electron Cash. Setting the fee to 1 satoshi per byte works perfectly! Here are the installation instructions for Ubuntu:

    Download the latest master ZIP from GitHub and extract it.

    cd electrum-master sudo apt install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 pyqt5-dev-tools protobuf-compiler python-pycurl gettext pyrcc5 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto ./contrib/make_locale sudo python3 setup.py install electron-cash

    Have fun!
