@digitalnaut @TurkeyChop @andyrowe @sinotrinity @iang_fc The first 3 almost certainly know nothing. The last probably does know some stuff the rest of us don't but it's irrelevant to the question.
English

CSW apologists like @turkeychop, @andyrowe, @sinotrinity , @iang_fc etc claim to "know stuff that we don't" and that they don't want or aren't allowed to share.
I think they don't want to share because it's stuff that's been debunked ages ago and it would make them look foolish

Why is my feed still flooded with "Len Sassaman is Satoshi Nakamoto" posts?
Read. My. Lips: Len's 100% not Satoshi. Not.
Len Sassaman considered Bitcoin "overhyped" and "a failed cypherpunk protocol". And more of that stuff. Can we now end this nonsense, please?

@BtcCustomerSvc Yeah. Len made several not-Satoshi-like remarks about Bitcoin.

@shadders333 Honestly, I respected you. However, I think that you created the sub while you were an insider. If you have good faith, you should have handed over the sub to some pro-bsv mods but not under Calvin's payroll. It is obvious it is under anti-bsv now. What do you think?

@is_not_satoshi @deggen @Bitcoin_Beyond @ProjectBabbage @scryptplatform @connolly_dan Lol. The only reasonable answer I can offer is that Cyrille Albrecht is in charge.

Tech question for the really smart people in BSV.🧠 @deggen, @Bitcoin_Beyond, @ProjectBabbage...
Why is the upcoming BSV Chronicle update reimplementing on the face of it the "1 RETURN" bug that was so bad it was quietly and urgently fixed by Satoshi/Gavin Andresen in July 2010?

There is nothing ok about this.

@RunDeathIsNear @timecoiner @scryptplatform @ProjectBabbage Yes this is correct. you not only need every tx in block but the entire utxo set that was valid for the previous block.

It is wrong, blatantly. He's trying to redefine what binary search trees are. Merkle trees are not searchable.
If you stick the nodes of a merkle tree into a key-value database that DB possbily uses a binary search tree internally, if not some other kind of index. But any searching would have to use this externally and it can't provide a proof of existence or non-existence to anyone who doesn't trust the DB.

@shadders333 @_electronicCash @GavinMehl Have you read this? I can't see how it's wrong:

I have little to say to say with this bunch of morons. Overlays is concept that existed (under different names) long before BSV existed. David Case did more damage to BSV that almost anyone through his utter inability to understand how it works and how to get transactions onto the network. His whingeing and blaming (supported by Kurt) resulted in the replacement of the people that were actually competent with the people who had no fucking clue but used the buzzwords BA wanted to hear. The technical state of BSV right now is entirely the result of this pair of muppets. So you guys make a judgement based on their results.
English

@shadders333 would be interesting to hear your feedback on the indexers/overlays debate starting around 1:15 mark. Seemed to go into teranode discussion and there were some pretty questionable points made. Almost seems like they are ok with have missing/unretrievable txs for the sake of hitting a tps goal.

@bitsko_xt @PeterScottMorg1 @mbs_ctt Jake is an IT guy who was supposed to write the documentation for original Teranode but I ended up having to rewrite half of it myself because he couldn't come to grips with fairly simple architectural concepts. AFAIK the new Teranode team kicked him out...

@AussieDaz81 You're almost as revolting as Craig. Into the dickhead bucket you go...
English

@shadders333 “Peter may have been a dick” - I think the word may is generous. Try was? And then Craig sued him like he asked for. What am I missing here?
English

@AussieDaz81 Why would I need that? It's well known. If you can read what I just said and still defend Craig then you are barely human.
English

@shadders333 Peter begged Craig to sue him. Dared him. Need me to find some evidence of that?
English

@PeterScottMorg1 @mbs_ctt @shadders333 I don't think shadders wrote the current teranode stuff?
There was some difference of opinion in implementation (???)
There is a dude, Jake who perhaps led a team to write out the code that does 333GB blocks on a lan or some such
English

In my opinion it's still more bizarre for Craig Wright to be a decades long dedicated scammer, brazenly entering courts throughout the world as a fraud than it is for Craig to be satoshi.
I mean who dedicates their life to fraud and then also solves the bitcoin scaling issue, while creating/securing thousands of bitcoin patents.
English

I missed what he said about binary search tree in the trial. But a Merkle tree most certainly isn't one and CTOR has nothing really to do with that.
CTOR makes it a bit harder to scale with Merkle tree, but works very nicely with Merklix trees. Which do in fact behave like binary search tree's. This mean if you take entry you can work out exactly where it SHOULD be in the tree if it exists, and if it doesn't you have a proof of absence (or if you know it was there before a proof of spentness) which can be encoded with pretty much the same efficiency as an SPV proof. This is a powerful feature that Bitcoin does not have, to achieve the same thing with a merkle tree based system you have run a full-node and have the UTXO set. AFAIK @deadalnix has implemented this in eCash, or at least plans to.
English

@shadders333 @_electronicCash @GavinMehl Did CTOR break the binary search tree thingy or was the BCH/BSV split completely pointless? Or maybe it was about some patents? Please shed some light
English

@Optilon1 @RunDeathIsNear @elonmusk Not as far as I know. It predates it I think. But even if it does, it's trivial to remove.
