I arrived at this figure by looking at the number of inputs in his BTC address (13 at the time of this post), and using the current recommended fee for next-block confirmation on BTC, which is 58 satoshis per byte according to https://bitcoinfees.info/

This is also ignoring the fees that were required to send him the BTC in the first place. I see several transactions that had to pay $0.50 or more in fees just to send the guy $1. Those people are effectively only giving the guy $0.50 instead of the dollar they think they are sending, because he now has to pay the fee to move it himself.

This is why BCH still works as p2p ecash and BTC doesn't.

One study estimated most of the of coins mined at the time (circa 2013) went through SR , so most of its use case was a currency - the complete opposite of what Core pushes it to be now.

Censorship (see bitcoin twitter case and many more)
Misinformation (see Bcash, biased news reporting)
Disinformation (rewriting Bitoin's history, Roger or Chinese miners)

Conclusion: morally corrupt and their opinion leaders remain silent or are complicit.

Graphene compression with / without CTOR

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 08:56 AM PDT

In my post last week, /u/mallocdotc asked how Graphene compression rates compare with and without order information being included in the block. Just to be clear, this is mostly an academic discussion in BCH today because, as of BU release 1.6.0, Graphene will leverage CTOR by default and no longer need to send order information. Nevertheless, it's an interesting question, so I went ahead and ran a separate experiment on mainnet. What's at stake are log(n) bits per transaction (plus serialization overhead) needed to convey order information. Since calculating order information size is straightforward given the number of transactions in the block, this experiment is really just about looking at the typical distribution of block transaction counts and translating that to compression rates.

Beginning with block 000000000000000002b18e2235e5ae3f62abb4be1bd6e933bafd47899c2ab721, I ran two different BU nodes on mainnet. Each was compiled with commit 02aa05be on the BU dev branch. For one version, which I'll call no_ctor, I altered the code to send order information even though it wasn't necessary. The other node, with_ctor, ran unmodified code so that no order information was sent. Below are the compression results. Overall, there were 533 blocks, 13 of which had more than 1K transactions. Just a reminder, compression rate is calculated as 1 - g/f, where g and f are the size in bytes of the Graphene and full blocks, respectively.

with_ctor:

best compression overall: 0.9988310929281122

mean compression (all blocks): 0.9622354472957148

median compression (all blocks): 0.9887816917208885

mean compression (blocks > 1K tx): 0.9964066061006223

median compression (blocks > 1K tx): 0.9976625137327318

no_ctor:

best compression overall: 0.9960665539078787

mean compression (all blocks): 0.9595203105258268

median compression (all blocks): 0.9855845466339916

mean compression (blocks > 1K tx): 0.9915431691098592

median compression (blocks > 1K tx): 0.9929303640862496

The improvement in median compression over all blocks amounts to approximately a 21% reduction in block size using with_ctor over no_ctor. And for blocks with more than 1K transactions, there is approximately a 71% reduction in block size. So we can see that with_ctor achieves better compression overall than no_ctor. But the improvement in compression is really only significant for blocks with more than 1K transactions. This probably explains why the order information was reported to account for so much of the total Graphene block size during the BCH stress test, which produced larger blocks than we typically see today. Specifically, that report cites an average of 37.03KB used for order information. But in my experiment I saw only 321.37B (two orders of magnitude less).

Edit: What's at stake are log(n) bits per transaction, not n log(n).

Best way to split BCHSV and BCH today?

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 09:03 PM PDT

I have some old BCH that I never split. What's the best way to split it? I was about to use https://github.com/markblundeberg/coinsplitter but there's a note here that says:

This project is out of date, but I'm keeping it up for posterity. The best way to split your coins nowadays is to get some already-split dust and use the official Electron Cash (on BCH) and/or ElectrumSV (on BSV). New users should avoid using this version due to phishing vulnerabilities in Electron Cash that have appeared in the last few months. Cheers! -Mark

So I'm having trouble following. I have those two wallets, I'm supposed to get some dust and then "use" the wallets... use them how? I can send some split BCH and/or BCHSV from an exchange to myself but then what do I do? Please help. Thanks.
