    All ideas seem to be back on the table again: miner validated tokens, shortening the blocktime etc

    Posted: 01 Oct 2020 02:12 AM PDT

    Bitcoin Unlimited member Andrew Stone is arguing for his proposal group for miner validated tokens again in his latest read.cash article "BCH: Looking back and Moving forward" . Now under the initiative of George Donnelly, and supported by Jonathan Toomim, there's discussion again around shortening the blocktime on Bitcoin Cash.

    Not that these aspects of the protocol are sacred but these things sound an awful lot like discussion already thoroughly had in 2018. As far as I'm concerned the takeaway was pretty decisively that miner validated tokens were not worth the tradeoff and hence SLP became the main BCH tokenspecification. If we were to change course on that now that would literally set BCH back two years. The takeaway on decreasing the blocktime (for me) was that it could not meaningfully improve the user experience and that pre-consensus was the correct way address the underlying problem. Make fun of roadmaps and stable protocol for businesses all you want but I think it's pretty sad, just like with the DAA, that BCH can't move forward and instead is resolving 2017 problems for the third time.

    In the spirit of the IFP I only want to add this: You know who decreased blocktimes? Zcash, and now they're number 30 on coinmarketcap.

    "I think KYC laws are an impediment only because Bitcoin hasn't taken encrypted messaging, atomic swaps, and uncensorable publishing seriously enough. We have the tools now to circumvent exchanges. They are the only reason why KYC is a problem."

    How does this work? Do we both have the keys???? We would have to, right?

    I am considering paying commission only remote sales people this way. They would have 30 days to claim payment then it would come back to me. If they honestly forgot, I resend. If they go MIA, cant find them anywhere, etc, it comes back.

    I would like to set them up with a bitpay or crypto.com or ??? Debit card. I would like to have one address per salesperson I pay to. It would be nice if this address is in that wallet. That way they need to move it to fiat on the debit card or to another wallet within 30 days or it comes back.

    It would be nice, if we had a debit card with bitcoin wallet tied in.

    How would I do this? Would everyone need both a bitcoin.com wallet AND their debit card crypto wallet? They redeem payment to their bitcoin wallet, (sweep keys??) Then they would need to send to their debit card wallet if they wanted fiat.????

    It would be nice to see a bitcoin.com debit card 😎

    New to crypto, just bought my first coins and need someone to help me find the right path.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 07:42 PM PDT

    So I couldn't mine any coins back in 2011 because I was 9 and still relying on a 500MHz Windows XP laptop. But oh well.

    What I do know about Bitcoin:

    • It's witchcraft and hard to understand (if I could get an ELI5 explanation that would be great!)

    • It's like stocks but highly more volatile.

    • It can be used to make purchases.

    • Multiple currencies exist.

    • You used to be able to mine the coins but now you have to use brokerage services to trade them.

    • There are public keys and private keys; public keys would be what you use to transmit Bitcoin, private keys would be what you use to store them.

    • The price fluctuates all the time.

    • High risk, high gain.

    • NEVER INVEST MORE THAN YOU'RE WILLING TO LOSE.

    What I don't know about it

    • How everything works.

    • How to read and predict the market.

    • What physical wallet is best for me, and if it's worth the investment.

    • What the hell blockchain are and all that.

    • The advantages and disadvantages of each currency.

    • How I can use the coins beyond just having stashes of money.

    • Where the resources are and all that.

    I received $100 for graduation, split it 50/50 into BTC and BCH. I'm willing to lose that $100. Know that BTC is on a slow and steady rise, BCH is relatively stagnant. I use Coinbase but know that I need to put it in a physical wallet because in Coinbase I don't own the keys. Don't know which wallet is best for me, or if it's worth the investment. Don't know the outlook of either coin, and how I can use my money.

    I look forward to being enlightened, and thank anyone for any wisdom and advice.

    Hodling vs Spend and Replace : What are your thoughts on why one strategy is better/worse than the other....

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 11:34 PM PDT

    Just had an interesting conversation with someone and just wanted to bring it to a bigger audience for input.

    Some hodlers believe by spending bitcoin you are actually admitting that bitcoin is less valuable than what you are trading for.

    This actually made me pause and think - and I really enjoyed it. It felt really wrong to everything I believe, but the gentleman really had an interesting take on it.

    I believe spending (and replacing) helps grow adoption.

    My response was:

    Yes, Bitcoin is valuable - but it is not more valuable than the services you purchase to live your life. You will always at some point trade your Bitcoin for medicine or a house or a nice meal. At some point in your life, other things will be more valuable than Bitcoin - this is almost by definition true, whats the point of hoarding bitcoin after all? Since you can't take bitcoins with you when you die.

    The person who will sell you medicine when you need it will not take crypto, if no one is spending their crypto. If you think you will just trade your bitcoin for fiat and buy medicine for fiat.... well, you have just proven that fiat is more useful than bitcoin.

    Isn't it infinitely more desirable to use Bitcoin directly? Mainly because its value will be orders of magnitude higher than when Bitcoin depends on fiat to be useful when you actually need funds.

    Tipping low paid workers

    There's lots of low paid employees in the service industry that's don't get tips for various reasons. For example I wanted to tip a pizza delivery guy today, but I couldn't, Fiat money is a load is shit, all companies should accept crypto, period.

    I can't wait for ETH to flip BTC. Why? Because TPTB will pump old useless BTC to oblivion in order to avoid it.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 08:32 AM PDT

    Either that or they will cripple ETH with some economically illiterate feature. "Smart Store of Value", "Programmable HODL".
