A high-throughput multicast Bitcoin transaction distribution system, with a roadmap towards billions of transactions per second.

Features:

- Control channel for block header announcements, operational mechanisms, and network topology automation

- Separate channels for subtree, subtree grouping, and transaction load

- Transaction load sharding by deterministic multicast group membership based on TXID

- Transaction specialization filtering and retransmission both unicast and multicast, to connect edge networks only interested in a portion of the transaction load for whatever reason

- NACK-based retransmission of missed packets via hash chain gap sequence tracking (per sender, per shard) with automated caching endpoint beacon discovery and tiered network distribution

- BGP-AnyCast based transaction ingress

Basically all the topology pieces to scale the actual small-world network for Bitcoin miners or transaction processors; dense at the core, with layered and sharded group distribution towards users at the edges. Right now just site or org-scope multicast in planned, but provisions are being made to extend via MP-BGP eventually.

For BSV Blockchain but could work for the other Bitcoin variants too, if they ever wanted to scale.

LLMs still leave something to be desired for DevOps related work; infrastructure code. There is still not really enough context available when crossing the division between the hardware, OS, and software.

For Terraform, specifically, Claude 4 can get thrown into infinite recursive loops trying to solve certain issues within the bounds of the language. Claude still tries to add completely invalid procedures into things like templates.

It does seem to work a bit better for standard application programming tasks.

Craig is still Satoshi, no matter what a court has (temporarily) ordered him to state. Craig has followed the legal process 100% for years at this point, paid every (massive) court-ordered payment. The majority of cases feature him as defendant because Bitcoin ultimately threatens the establishment and must be controlled at any cost. This is the true source of the negative sentiment and constant attacks.

He just today waived privilege on X and began outlining accusations against his previous legal representation for not following his explicit instructions, and instead followed orders from a man who has been recently convicted in a UK court, is facing bankruptcy in that country, and has fled as a fugitive from justice. The rabbit hole goes deep.

Craig and the BSV Association have worked together with AWS and Aerospike to conclusively prove the Bitcoin protocol is capable of scaling to at least 120GB sized blocks, at over 1 million P2PKH transactions per second. The BTC core team said this was impossible, yet BSVA has provided data from a public cloud provider, with geographically distributed nodes to prove it is. What's more, it's been stated that it does so at an initial cost that is drastically less than most anticipated. These costs are highly likely to be lowered through optimization.

The majority of opinions expressed in this thread will most certainly be abandoned in time when the full body of work can no longer be ignored. One only needs to perform a simple patent search to discover the depth of research and innovation established on blockchain, and then realize that the sheer number of applications and grants are not the work of someone attempting to pull a con. It is true innovation, the same way Bitcoin was and is.

Will this processor suffer from the same vulnerabilities as was just discovered on the previous M1-3?

BTC is 7 TPS because MasterCard et al neutered it.

Bitcoin is professionalizing. It's built for everything in the world to be timestamped with super low transaction fees.

This is more Bitcoin than BTC at this point. It follows the whitepaper completely.

3 Petabytes of data after 6 months. This is all done on AWS currently.

Bitcoin BTC tops out at 7 TPS.

Visa tops out at around 50,000 TPS.

This is just an initial target test. Bitcoin scales unbounded.

10M TPS next target.

This is also just layer 1. It's designed for additional layers expressed through transaction script (with all op_codes enabled, which unlocks a complete Forth environment).

A new distributed version of Bitcoin is now processing 1 million transactions per second. It's doing this on a test network setup between the USA, Europe, and Asia. People said it could not be done. They were wrong. Proof of Work.

EDIT: I can see by the comments so far that nobody gets it. Well, you will get it in time. It's really happening, and yes, this is Bitcoin adherent to the original whitepaper, and in line with the original code base before it was hamstrung with unwise revisions and changes.

Bitcoin wallets are collections of private keys and corresponding public keys. They may or may not also be linked together hierarchically using ECDSA math, and possibly encrypted as well.

SWATing. Security concerns for certain people.

Check this out. IPV6 integrated with Bitcoin generated addressing. Every packet gets a unique address. Security implications are profound.

It's a case of grift by continual fundraising on (mostly) false cybersecurity fears. There are no really useful quantum computers and there won't be because it's mostly a scam. Feel free to downvote me but if you search hard enough, past the marketing hype and billions continually poured into research you come to this truth.

No. I eat whole foods, mostly organic, no artificial anything if I can help it. I can't eat out much anymore because of not knowing what is in the food.

I switched to maple syrup or honey for all my sweetener needs.

Yes. I stopped eating refined sugar and drinking any alcohol and my 90% hearing loss in one ear + tinnitus has gone away in about 3-4 months. I was suffering with it for years.

I also had all mercury fillings removed by a specialist with the correct equipment and procedures.

Originally, Bitcoin had no limits in place including the block size. That was added later.

The original protocol scales to trillions of transactions per second. The secret is the Merkle tree and the block header. The block headers only take up megabytes and are easy to keep track of and distribute.

Simplified Payment Verification was outlined in the whitepaper.

The protocol is meant to be used between peers, not between users and nodes.

Think on solving BGP vulnerabilities through micropayments.

Think a new IP address for every packet.

IPV6 becomes supercharged when you layer it with the original Bitcoin protocol. It integrates Cryptographic Generated Addresses in IPV6 which is an extension that has been around for awhile but never implemented.

Here is the founder and chair of the IPV6 forum giving a speech about it just a couple of weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE3Vsbo1NPs

Really cool engineering things are being worked on in the background.

There's a lot of research that contradicts these notions, and also practical advice on how to remedy through food choices, if one is inclined to look into it. As with anything, it's a controversial subject, probably due to the severity of autism and the real difficulties of changing one's diet radically.

Ignore at your own potential peril..

BTCers don't care, apparently

No, it's not Paul, but wouldn't it be ironic if it turned out that the designer and architect of the original Bitcoin protocol was (partially) responsible for putting him behind bars?

The computational cost of Bitcoin mining not only serves to bootstrap the totality of the BTC into the ledger but also is designed to protect the network. It is also a teeny-tiny fraction of the power required by the legacy banking infrastructure all over the world. It is not a waste.

Poor, poor, nearly-forgotten NetBSD. I hope they have the same kind of response FreeBSD got. :-)

In a quest to heal my wife's life-long bouts with Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders, we have had to try a number of things over the years. Food has been our biggest change to date.

We had to switch to buying organic foods because anything artificial sets her body off. Anything with pesticides does it too. This rules out pretty much all conventional produce entirely.

We also had to stop shopping from the center of the food store too. We cut out all the processed stuff and started cooking whole meals. We are extremely picky about what type of meat and dairy products we purchase because of GMO-containing animal feeds (not to mention anti-biotics, other things which are like anti-biotics but not called that; really insidious stuff, growth hormones, bad water, pathogens from neighboring operations, etc).

We started buying only pasture-raised animals and this year I'm learning to hunt since we moved to a place conducive to that activity. We're also getting dairy goats to help offset our $3500+ per year un-pasteurized dairy/cheese/butter costs. I mentioned in another comment that I'm raising 50 chickens for meat and eggs and have already learned to butcher them. They taste AMAZING!

We follow the GAPS Diet and Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions cookbook, and also the Weston A Price foundation. We take lots of High-Vitamin Butter Oil and Fermented Cod Liver Oil. We infuse a variety of herbs. We take pharmaceutical grade Pro-biotics when necessary.

There is a shit-ton more to food than just saying "Eat Organic" or not. We have to understand nutrition from an old-world view as well as a new-world understanding and blend the two together. The very soil that the food is grown in and the animals are raised on contains so much life that has a lot to do with how nutritious the food ends up being.

I could go on and on but I'll stop. I will say it's been a huge odyssey for us, on the quest to stop chronic illness. It is definitely working and worth it, however.

Oh, I treat my ADHD this way too.

I am growing out 50 chickens this year for meat and eggs. I got a few of the super-hybrid Cornish Cross birds in addition to Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and others breeds. I am growing them on locally produced organic chicken feed and pasture grasses and weeds (free roaming on acres of land).

I have harvested a few birds so far and they taste so amazingly deep and rich that it was almost too much on the first bird. It's all about what the animal eats, IMO. I've had farm raised chickens from all over before we settled here and I've never had them taste this good.

The fat layer is a deep golden/mustard/yellow color and there is LOTS of it. None of my Cornish Crosses exhibited any leg issues or anything and one Rooster has lived to be about 4 months old. He's in the fridge on a salt cure waiting to be roasted this weekend!

FWIW. :-)

Now we know what kind of sites this Microsoft MVP likes to peruse. :-)

Someone had an interesting comment on the Techdirt page: have people stream online when opening up the mail.

Google Glass FTW. When the person reads the letter, video footage is automatically streamed and seeded around the internet. How can they compell you with a gag order if you didn't know what was in the letter to begin with and you happen to read it live over the network? :-)

I have found that certification courses can give a proper introduction to specific technical areas. Of course, if the goal is to just get the cert, then one would probably miss most of the learning aspects of the certification process.

The cert curriculum can be a great learning tool, in addition to just plain playing around and learning from other social networks.
