The first large memo:
Introduction
How are you reading this article? How did it go from my laptop to your screen?
By the time you read this, I will have posted it on Yours.org, tweeted the link out, and posted it in other various channels. As of the time of writing, The BCH Boys podcast has 750 Twitter followers. Some of those followers have thousands of followers, and others have less than 100. Every person who may come in contact with this piece is a “node” in a large social network. Looking at it this way, we could deduce that we have 750 links to 750 nodes. But do we? How many of those nodes are logged in at the time that we tweet the piece? How many of those nodes will scroll right past the tweet and not even notice it? How many will retweet it to their followers (more nodes), continuing the broadcast?
If our intention is to spread this article as far and wide as possible, the connections between people are more important than how many followers we have. When we tweet, only...

Such txs will be displayed on both abc.memo.cash and memo.cash ?

Decentralization
In general, most Bitcoiners (BTC and BCH) agree that Bitcoin is a highly secure network that is immutable and robust. You would find it incredibly difficult to change past transactions or disrupt network communication. The main point of contention comes when discussing “miner centralization” of the network, where BTC proponents argue that scaling Bitcoin on-chain centralizes the network. However, what does centralization actually mean? Think back to the beginning of this article when we discussed Twitter. The number of followers was not as important as how connected the followers are. Graph theory classifies “decentralization” not by the number of nodes in the network, but by the interconnectivity of the network. Information fed into a decentralized network is dispersed and accessible rapidly by any node connected in the network.
We can take the small-blocker argument of “decentralization” to its logical conclusion and break down why it is not rooted in any aca...

Ever wondered what was important in alignment?
New GreenPages.cash API is done. Starting the process of rebuilding the site in React.
Should be fun learning React - already loving it.
Billy's Bitcoin: A Children's Bitcoin Story
"Billy's Bitcoin" is a children's book by Jason Chatfield (artist/writer of Ginger Meggs) and Naomi Brockwell.
Only on sv.memo.cash. E.g. https://sv.memo.cash/post/d257826ea1900d4f6534aa37d11414821cdee74a346fa83ef4544984ce50cba4
Ok thx. Hopefully it won't split too much the memo community
There is now a setting on sv.memo.cash to enable big memos (up to 8192 characters). If you are using un-split coins this will cause them to be split. Also transactions may take awhile to confirm and can get lost.
BCH roadmap -> small blocks... 128MB is to much, core copy pasta schnorr, DSV, cashaddr... and ETH zelouty... wormhole
This is incorrect. BitcoinCash dev teams understand the importance of optimizations.
BitcoinCash devs understand that idiots can be deceived by PR scaling.
If someone doesn’t like this development, just stay on the limited BCH/ABC site. Love the HUGE messages in BSV MEMO.cash version!
I will spend what I still have left. Not much. But somehow due to tips it's not decreasing fast enough:). I do try to turbo shitpost though 😜
Sad to hear we will probably soon end up in our own echo chambers :( I like to follow the SV side too. Though you get some ABC coins when you get tips from me :P
everything caves to market forces sooner or later.
Not true at all. Everyone can participate. If more participated they could easily overturn the whole system.
yes everyone *can*. but you have people who's full time "job" is to meddle while the people whose lives they meddle in are busy living (working, raising families, hobbies).
OP_RETURN can be pruned anyway. We need a better way in general.
Pruning just means you don't have to keep it in your UTXO set. You still need them to validate transaction history.
Testing big OP_RETURNs on SV!

Most nodes are not mining these transactions. It took a couple hours for these to confirm. Until these are regularly mined, we will keep limits in place.
Long messages are now shortened in feed. You can open posts to view entire message.
Being able to write full articles onchain... :)
Will we be able to submit more text on BSV version of Memo.cash? Referring to how Shadders did?
