    New Generation Taking Bitcoin BCH Adoption Forward At The North Queensland BCH Meetup Last Night

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 06:56 PM PST

    Just bought Astril VPN with BCH. 0-conf works again.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 11:04 PM PST

    Just wanted to share this experience. I needed a new VPN because China. I already have 2, but China. I wanted to try Astril and they had crypto option! Why not use it? It was processed through coinpayments.net. Seamless. As easy as a credit card. Was logged in and using my VPN a few minutes later. The download took longer than the payment.

    It occurred to me that basically every subscription payment can accept 0-conf.

    I don't go out of my way to pay for my life with crypto, but it's always cool when it's just there.

    Elizabeth Stark's inane tweets defending Lightning already took a good beating from Jason Smith, but some haven't seen deadalnix's even better retort.

    And the hits just keep on coming, Lightning is pretty much comedy gold these days!

    What a tool. Even the BTC devs say BTC is a store of value, not for transacting. I can't wait for Twatter to join MySpace on the trash pile of historic failures. With all the censoring going on it won't take long.

    Slow burn fragmentation attack

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 10:16 PM PST

    The combination of BCH's rapid difficulty adjustment algorithm and Bitcoin ABC's rolling checkpoints introduces a novel fragmentation attack strategy. By generating a low-PoW alternate chain from a chosen point in the BCH blockchain, an attacker can rapidly reduce the difficulty to extend it. No node which has observed the legitimate chain at higher difficulty will accept the attacker's chain, however, under a temporary eclipse attack new nodes could be led to follow it.

    Normally, this attack could only be sustained while the targets remain eclipsed from the legitimate network. Rolling checkpoints provide a window of opportunity during which the attacker can rapidly extend their alternate chain, triggering finalization. Should a target observe the legitimate chain after that point it will be regarded as an excessive reorg and treated as invalid.

    The scope of this attack is limited by a number of factors:

    1. The attacker must perform enough work on their chain to discover blocks at rate which will eventually cause the difficulty to drop. They must then sustain that chain with minimal PoW to keep the network time within a usable range.

    2. Targets must be susceptible to an eclipse attack.

    3. Fork/release-based checkpoints will eventually invalidate the attacker's alternate chain.

    These are certainly steep obstacles for the attacker, however, the most expensive issue (1) can benefit from reuse of work. Only one attack chain needs to be created that reduces the difficulty, after which any number of additional branches can be spawned from that parent. These branches can be kept up to date using minimal work to prevent the difficulty from rising before application in an attack.

    Issue (3) somewhat mitigates the efficiency gain through rework. As the attacker's chains conflict with new release-based checkpoints, another difficulty-lowering chain would need to be created to attack new client versions.

    Overall the practicality and potential impact of this strategy is low, but it is within reach of a moderately funded attacker. It is an example of attacks that clients may be exposed to when defecting from the "honest" strategy of accepting the longest observed chain.

    Economics Professor on Ripple Board Misrepresents Bitcoin During Stanford Lecture

    Dissenter.com by Gab is a brilliant idea. It opens any URL to free speech commentary (as defined by the purveyors of Gab). What if...

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 01:38 PM PST

    What if Memo.cash or another service came up with something similar? Imagine, true censorship resistant commentary on any URL.

    Dissenter uses a browser plugin. Commenting on previously censored sites is pretty cool. Definitely something worth trying, especially if you will be called names for doing so.

    I love BCH, BTC really sucks now

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 08:31 AM PST

    This morning, I had to buy some BTC, then to transfer to an Altcoin exchange to buy some Alts. BTC transfer stuck for 3 hours. The Alt I wanted to buy went up 7% by the time BTC arrives. BTC nowadays is not reliable anymore. I hope that there would be trading pairs priced with BCH one day, then I don't have to deal with BTC. I hope more people realize that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
