    Hey everyone! YSK that BitcoinCashJ (Bitcoin Cash Java library) has been updated by @ProtocolCash (Twitter) to support CTOR! I (@pokkst) then made some more changes myself, such as: standard derivation path m/44'/145'/0', cashaddrs by default, and sending to Cash Accounts!

    A marketing question for the community:

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 05:17 PM PDT

    Other than needing a few more translations, our Bitcoin Cash point of sale app is ready for Android. (iOS soon)

    You can download it here.

    My question is, what should we call and market it as?

    Some current ideas are:

    • BCH Merchant
    • Bitcoin Cash Merchant
    • Bitcoin Cash Point of Sale System
    • Bitcoin Cash Register

    Please give me your thoughts for the best name.

    When did the original censorship/misinformation start?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2019 12:28 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Bitcoin came into existence in 2009 (WP 08)

    What was the first forum/website? - Bitcoin Talk forums?

    When did the Thrymos/blockstream/BTC Cult censorship start? What year?

    What else happened from 2009 to Aug 2017 (relating to censorship only)

    Is the following correct;

    R / Bitcoin = BTC with heavy censorship

    R / Bitcoin Begginers = BTC with censorship

    R / BTC = This - which is pro BCH but open for all to discuss

    Bitcoin Org = BTC? correct?

    Who owns @Bitcoin - BCH or BTC?

    Who owns Bitcoin Talk forums - BTC?

    Thank you

    This must've been an entertaining conversation between Craig Wright and his lawyers!

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 02:02 PM PDT

    Here is Craig's latest filing.

    Dr. Craig Wright respectfully notifies the Court that he withdraws Exhibit A to his Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings for Lack of Subject-Matter Jurisdiction [D.E. 144-1]. That exhibit is an email exchange between Dave Kleiman and Uyen Nguyen. Dr. Wright withdraws the exhibit because he cannot verify the date of that email exchange.

    This is what it's in reference to.

    EXTREME CAUTION ALERT: EZBTC Exchange (Please upvote for visibility)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 02:02 PM PDT

    Posting here to warn my fellow Canadians, especially after the QuadrigaCX fiasco. A precursory search around Reddit will reveal many users also having issues with the ezBTC exchange. Canada has limited options for exchanges, and personally, I recommend sticking with Coinbase because albeit their higher fees, you gain peace of mind.

    Please upvote for visibility.

    I will keep this information general as David Smillie founder of ezBTC has threatened to sue me, and I am currently waiting for such papers to arrive so it can argued in a courtroom. Anybody else who has been threatened with a lawsuit from David Smillie, please remember that Canadian libel and slander laws only apply if you make FALSE written or oral statements. If the information is factual, you have contravened no libel or slander laws. But if your money is being withheld by ezBTC, you definitely have grounds to sue him and his company.

    Been a long time customer of EZBTC since 2017 with no complaints until now. I took a long break from the space and recently decided to make another small purchase from ezBTC for XMR since the BTC price spreads are ridiculously expensive.

    The customer service has completely changed since that time. My emails to [info@ezbtc.ca](mailto:info@ezbtc.ca) went unanswered, the live chat is disabled, and the phone numbers 1-877-755-2249 & 1-604-398-4024 listed on the website go straight to voicemail. I got worried from the lack of communication and decided to message them on Twitter @ezbtccanada as I saw they were active on that platform.

    Not even 30 minutes later, I received an email from David Smillie [dave@ezbtc.ca](mailto:dave@ezbtc.ca) himself giving me a number to call him at. He suspended my account for "security reasons" and marked my account back down to "unverified" after being a long time customer with zero issues. Lots of unanswered emails and calls later I finally got through to him. I asked for clarification regarding these security issues because only I, the owner, would have access to the original email, 2fa code, and ezbtc login/password. My phone number has also been updated since that time, but I see no option on the website to change it as of April 18, 2019. I was also willing to resubmit my documents for the KYC process again. Nonetheless it wasn't needed and he assured me all was fine and reverified my account on the spot. He told me that staff would take a look at my account the next day noon EST (today) and would send out my withdrawal. I thanked him, removed my tweets, and thought all was well.

    Fast forward to today and there's still no update. My calls, emails, and texts go unanswered. Sent another tweet instead. Surprisingly, I received a call from David shortly after and he was livid. He threatened to sue me if I continued tweeting. He told me that my account is banned indefinitely and that an eTransfer (Canadian method) refund for my money would be provided in "30 days" so we'll see if he ever sends it. He stated more information would be included in an email I'm supposed to receive on Monday April 22, 2019. He blocked me on twitter and also says he's keen to find me on Reddit, so I'm sure he'll be reading this. Hi David!

    I will update this post as developments come in and whether or not he refunds my money.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    These are the two tweets I sent that in David's eyes, are grounds for defamation:

    Still waiting on @ezBtcCanada for my 1.92000012 XMR withdrawal. My emails sent to [info@ezbtc.ca](mailto:info@ezbtc.ca)haven't been answered and phone lines 1-877-755-2249 & 1-604-398-4024 go to voicemail. Live chat is also disabled on your website. Getting anxious. Updates?

    📷📷CAUTION ALERT: Still have not received my funds after ezBTC founder David Smillie @ezBtcCanadaassured me that it would be processed. Now my calls/emails/texts are being ignored. Stand by for updates. #ezbtc

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    TLDR: ezBTC still has my money. Support is non-existent, use Twitter instead @ezbtccanada

    The million dollar question: can BTC still hard fork for bigger blocks in the future? Because if not...

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 05:27 PM PDT

    ... it appears increasingly clear that whatever LN manages to achieve in the end, layer 1 will need to be increased in capacity for the system to work well as a cash system (as we all know).

    So there are two avenues really: will they be able to hard fork down the road to increase their block size (they'd find an excuse...), or will they not?

    I'm thinking that with coins stuck in LN channels, they probably CANNOT hard fork anymore which would mean they'd be sc-ewed - but is that so? What do technical experts say about that? 🤔

    Thanks!

    Calvin Ayre talking out his ass about "regular 128MB blocks", drops spicy NEW MEME

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 04:17 PM PDT

    Only a day before a massive 6-block deep reorganization of the SV chain, due to the unsuccessful propagation of a single 128MB BSV block (translation: "BSV no worky"), Calvin dropped the absolute gem of the year, second only to Greg Maxwell's "champaign" and Adam Back's "TABS".

    GIGAMEGS LOL

    EDIT: First meme arrived

    EDIT: And the second

    Graphene v2 Interim Report

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 05:50 AM PDT

    For the past six months, our team at UMass (in conjunction with the Bitcoin Unlimited team) has been working on various improvements to the Graphene protocol, which we're calling "Graphene v2". The project is broken into two phases. Phase 1 introduces various security and performance improvements, while phase 2 implements failure recovery and mempool synchronization.

    As of last week, phase 1 is complete except for two documentation tasks, and will be rolled out with BU release 1.6.0. Accordingly, I thought that now would be a good time to summarize and quantify the impact of the work that will be included in the release. To that end, I've written an interim report (if this link fails to render, then please try this one instead). Here are some of the highlights from that report.

    • Like Compact blocks, Graphene now encodes transaction IDs using SipHash with a unique key shared between sender and receiver, which greatly minimizes the risk of a transaction collision attack.
    • Graphene block failure rates have been dramatically lowered; on average, fewer than 1 block per day fails to decode.
    • Various compute optimizations have lowered the time to encode and decode a Graphene block by at least 30%.
    • By leveraging CTOR, we have removed transaction ordering information to further improve Graphene compression rates.

    The report includes a test that we ran on over 500 sequential blocks from mainnet. During that test, we experienced 2 decode failures and were forced to request missing transactions 4 times. The overall mean compression rate was 0.995. For blocks with more than 1000 transactions, the mean compression rate was 0.998. The largest block, containing 2545 transactions, had a compression rate of 0.999.

    Graphene V2 Report Shows Mass On-Chain Scaling Progress, 1GB Blocks Possible on Basic Hardware

    Posted: 18 Apr 2019 12:03 PM PDT

    Emin Gün Sirer: "Indeed, Bitcoin maximalism stems from deep-seated insecurities about the underlying, unscalable tech. Adults can calmly respond to criticisms. Maximalists' signature move is to freak out, brigade, and try to shout down all perceived naysayers, which betrays their insecurity."
