While #BitcoinCash uses the CHIP process to allow its mining community to vote on proposed upgrades, Bitcoin SV does not have an equivalent process.
replied 871d
Instead, #BSV relies on a more centralized decision-making process led by the main development team.

BSV is a completely centralized scam run by a small cartel with CSW, Calvin Ayre and Aker at the top, with a few shell companies to make it seem less centralized. Utter shit.

BSV has only made a few minor protocol changes, usually reverting to the way things previously were. Mostly they've just been scaling and removing limits.
replied 871d
...and they have introduced a MAJOR one recently. OP_CourtOrder that makes it possible to confiscate coins w.o. keys that effectively completes BSVs status as a centralized shitcoin.

OP_CourtOrder | WTF
replied 870d
WTF..indeed :-)

I agree there is concern about that and have spoken out on the issue:
replied 866d
They claim they can do it without a protocol change and that it could be done on any bitcoin fork
replied 866d
"They claim they can do it without a protocol change" - LOL

"That it could be done on any bitcoin fork" - sure but good luck getting majority hash running it for BCH & BTC.
replied 864d
I agree their claims on the issue are suspect

BTCs trajectory towards becoming a shitcoin started in 2017. So, no surprise there.
replied 859d
Yep, I'd go back even further and say BTC has been on a bad course since at least 2014 when RBF was added.
replied 859d
Are you opposed to a fee market in the first place? Or is there a different way from RBF, that you would want to see implemented?
replied 859d
Both BCH and BSV removed RBF. Miners can make more money from fees in the long run by increasing TX count, not by charging more per TX.
replied 859d
I agree with this.
replied 859d
RBF was created due to mempool size growing beyond block size limit. That should never be the case. IMO there shouldn't even be a block size limit
replied 859d
...BSVs fault was that many services dependent on running own nodes started to fail w. huge blocks. Now it is extreme centralized w. VERY few nodes & hence single points of failure.
replied 858d
Maybe home nodes that aren't doing anything. For miners the increased block size is fairly negligible.
replied 858d
What do you think about dynamic block sizes? With a fee structure encourage increasing blocksize when it's appropriate to do so, ofc
replied 858d
Not sure what you mean by dynamic block sizes. As you said there will always be some sort of limit. But if people are hitting it then something is wrong IMO.
replied 858d
I mean dynamic, as in growing and shrinking to scale smoothly with demand. Seems obvious IMO.

replied 858d
Sounds like a mess, not sure why you'd ever lower the block size cap. If miners can't handle more transactions they should get off the network.
replied 854d
It's not about miners being unable to handle more transactions; it's about having block sizes that match mempool demand
replied 859d
Mostly agree with this.
Block size limit should in principle have no limit. But in reality there will always be a limit.
replied 866d
BSV is a state sponsored attack on BCH. Hopefully most people realize this by now. Nothing good will ever come from it.
replied 866d
I tend to agree.

Just like BTC
