    Convince me why Bitcoin Cash

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 01:23 PM PST

    Hey guys, I hope this post is allowed.

    ​

    I recently purchased my first ever Crypto which was in Bitcoin (BTC) it was a small amount (0.0025) however was all I could afford to get on payday.

    ​

    I have been learning about the space the past year via, lurking on reddit, podcasts, books etc.

    I went with BTC as it seemed a safer bet than me purely looking at their current marketcap.

    ​

    I am not anti BCH and I am still learning as much as I can and trying to go over the scaling debate and make my own mind up as much as possible.

    ​

    I don't have that much disposable income so my DCA purchases are going to be circa $20 per month.

    Nothing to brag about but hopefully my personal circumstances change and I can invest more, but I thought I would ask on here and introduce myself.

    ​

    None of the other coins interest me from the research I have done this past year. Only Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash can achieve the goal of World money imo.

    ​

    Thanks guy.

    Justin Bons: "Bitcoin Cash needs to both be compatible with DeFi & capable of doing DeFi for itself in order to fully compete with other cryptocurrencies. It could very well be that we will see mass adoption of DAPS due to their utility & tangible economic benifits before currency adoption."

    The title or/and the description of this subreddit should mention Bitcoin Cash

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:57 AM PST

    I am very familiar with the history behind this subreddit, but nowadays /r/btc is used mostly for Bitcoin Cash and the subreddit should make it more clear on the title and the description.

    The fact that neither the title or the description of /r/btc mention Bitcoin Cash is used as a common attack against BCH, as the most common attack against BCH is that "the BCH'ers try to trick people to buy BCH instead of BTC by making them believe it's the real bitcoin; just look at /r/btc and bitcoin.com".

    Or if we want to preserve the original purpose of the subreddit, there should atleast be some sort of history mention for newcomers to why /r/btc is used by the Bitcoin Cash community nowadays. The sticky is clearly not enough.

    Created a SLP Token, but can't mint more - please help

    Hi, I've created a SLP token yesterday, because I love your mint idea and wanted to see how it goes. All worked well so far.

    Problem: I can not mint more. It says "you don't have the minting baton for this token". Can you tell me how to get past this?

    Here is a screen shot:

    I was just banned from Polish Bitcoin Forums. Another censored forum: Check ☑

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 09:22 AM PST

    (From all sections other than Bitcoin Cash)

    Achievement unlocked!

    They have been trying to ban me for a long time. So now they succeeded. After 9 years, goodbye.

    I guess I should open the champaign.

    Another censored forum: Check ☑

    New badge of honor: Check ☑

    EDIT:

    PS. The https://bitcoin.pl (the same domain as the forum has) site has been advertising scams notoriously for months or a year now, which of course I never failed to point out (among other forum users), which was probably the real reason why I was banned (not because I was constantly pointing out the fact that LN doesn't work and BTC is not real Bitcoin or that I was somewhat impolite by pointing out people behave like morons there).

    The "free-rider problem": comparing the funding of hash rate security vs. that of protocol development

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 11:30 AM PST

    I wrote an article the other day about the "dev tax" proposal in which I argued that it was, well, pretty fucked. Indeed, I argue that the proposal is quite similar in its principle-violating nature to a proposal that would seek to fund development via a "tiny" "one-time-only-we-promise" increase in the 21MM coin supply limit. If you haven't read that article yet, you should do so now as it's a real tour de force: The "Dev Tax" proposal is worse than I thought (and I thought it was pretty bad).

    Today I've been thinking more about how the proposal relates to the so-called "free-rider problem," about which wikpedia says the following:

    In the social sciences, the free-rider problem is a type of market failure that occurs when those who benefit from resources, public goods (such as public roads or hospitals), or services of a communal nature do not pay for them or under-pay. Free riders are a problem because while not paying for the good (either directly through fees or tolls or indirectly through taxes), they may continue to access or use it. Thus, the good may be under-produced, overused or degraded.

    Note that Bitcoin's block subsidy / inflation schedule is an attempt to solve a free-rider problem surrounding initial chain security (and, as an aside, also to solve the problem of the initial distribution of funds in a fair and competitive way). We (holders) obviously don't like having our holdings effectively diluted via the issuance of new coins. But we all benefit from the hash rate security those newly-issued coins incentivize. When the system is first starting out, how can we achieve a reasonable level of security when the demand for transactions (and the fees they're capable of generating) is going to be minuscule? Via an agreed-upon inflation schedule whereby every holder is obligated to subsidize hash rate security. There's arguably a similar free-rider problem surrounding the development of protocol software. But there are two critical differences between that free-rider problem and the one surrounding initial chain security. First, I think the problem relating to development is a lot smaller and easier to solve without hard-coding anything into the consensus protocol. Peter Rizun nicely summarizes why the free-rider problem re: protocol software development should not be viewed as an intractable one in his recent article:

    The bitcoin protocol is very simple and was mostly complete in 2009 (by Satoshi). It is 11 years later and we should be moving towards a stable protocol (without block size limits) and the role of the "protocol developer" should be waning. Many people are passionate about bitcoin and will continue to do the work that needs doing. And as bitcoin becomes more important to businesses—because we attract more users—these business will also have an incentive to contribute. But with service fees funding a wage assistance program for select developers, these select developers will block initiatives that come from the volunteer devs or companies, to avoid revealing the uselessness of the assistance program. In fact, the developers receiving assistance will create roadblocks that only they can solve in order to justify their continued feeding from the public trough.

    Second, I'd suggest that attempting to solve the free-rider problem re: initial chain security via the consensus protocol itself is much, much, MUCH (three "much-es") less subject to abuse / corruption. When a holder's share of the ledger is diluted via inflation to fund hash rate security, they know exactly what they're getting. Hash rate. A higher cost for an attacker to acquire 51% of that hash rate and attack the network. But are all or even most holders in a position to evaluate what they'd be getting from this Hong Kong corporation writing a check to Joe Blow developer? Are they checking and critically evaluating each one of his commits (or how helpful suggestions he made in a slack channel turned out to be, or how much time he spent reviewing other developers' code for bugs)? No, of course not! So, in summary, the free-rider problem for development is both smaller and more easily solved outside the consensus protocol than is the free-rider problem of initial chain security, and the former problem would also be much harder to solve within the consensus protocol without becoming corrupt.

    EDIT: Here's another way to think about things. Right now, Bitcoin Cash uses a pre-determined amount of inflation as a method of solving the free-rider problem surrounding the provision of initial hash rate security. The recent "developer tax" proposal seeks to divert some of that inflation away from solving that problem, and redirect it towards a different supposed free-rider problem, namely that of funding protocol software development. My point (or at least one of them) is that such a proposal isn't all that different in principle from one that would instead seek to address the latter problem via the introduction of additional inflation, i.e., by increasing the 21MM supply cap.
