    Prof. Technobabble - 1 Aug 2018 - "If you are promised "Proof of burn" in tokens, you should know this is a fallacy. Later this month, I will demonstrate how any such system can be used to take the "burnt" token and spend it". So, what gives? FAIL again?

    Peter Rizun: "Without any resources, a few volunteers built BU, implemented Xthin, and made a scalability breakthrough. The code had a bug that attackers exploited. Rather than encourage, Andreas used the incident to smear BU's efforts and put Core on a pedestal."

    "There is no split"

    Posted: 19 Sep 2018 10:40 PM PDT

    Suppose there are two incompatible consensus rules A and B.

    Suppose there are two groups of nodes, A-nodes which only accepts blocks meeting rules A and B-nodes which only accept blocks meeting rules B.

    Suppose now that a A-miner finds an A block, X, which is rejected under B-rules. He tries to propagate the block to the network, A-nodes accept the block, B-nodes reject the block.

    A-miners build on X, B-miners don't. A-nodes accept the chain built on X, B-nodes don't.

    Furthermore, if A-group spams B-group with invalid blocks (and vice-versa) they will disconnect from each other to avoid being spammed.

    This is a split. There's no way around it.

    If A-chain is longer than B-chain it doesn't mean that B-nodes will blindly follow A-chain, and vice-versa. Even SPV wallets won't apriori follow the longest chain, instead following the longest chain their "trusted node" is accepting.

    If an exchange runs an A-node and B-miners will not be able to sell there. If enough exchanges do this the B-miners won't be able to sell their B-Bitcoin and the coin will become worthless.

    You need social consensus before you can change consensus rules

    Andreas M. Antonopoulos on Twitter: Bugs like this pop up in Core code too. The important difference: they *never* make it to production releases. The QA process catches them

    This Narrative that Bitcoin Core Developers are "The Best" Needs to Stop

    Posted: 19 Sep 2018 12:17 PM PDT

    Are there any countries have these factors:

    Posted: 19 Sep 2018 10:08 PM PDT

    1) A government who isn't actively resisting cryptocurrency

    2) Most of the population has internet or phone access

    3) Has a weak/inflating fiat currency (not necessarily hyper-inflating)

    The problem I'm seeing here in the United States is that the US dollar is VERY trusted because of its stability and ease of use.

    If I ask my sister for $100 she can transfer it to me via Paypal, cash, check, and even via email if we share the same bank. USD token is incredibly easy to transfer so Americans aren't likely to try a new currency. Merchant adoption in America means spending 3 and a half hours explaining what decentralized currency is, why it's volatile, how to use it safely, what the future's potential is, etc. In other words: there's no NEED for americans to try a new currency so we have to teach them or they wont go out of their way to use one.

    Excluding an economic crash the only way Americans will trust Bitcoin Cash is in the event that adoption starts exploding in the areas of the world that actually need the currency.

    Additionally the US government doesn't appear to be super friendly to the idea of decentralized currency and have been steadily adding roadblocks on the fiat to crypto on-ramps, like tax rules and KYC requirements. This makes crypto harder to obtain and with the trusted US dollar people aren't as likely to want to try.

    And finally, the USD is one of the most traded currencies in the world. It's not the best currency to try to dethrone first.

    With my above 3 factors in mind the question is: what area of the world needs decentralized currency the most?

    Note: I am continuing to advertise locally. I also want to help organize development in specific areas outside my country.
