This thing will sadly fall on deaf ears in the mainstream. You just need showmanship to persuade the sheep. This is why people like Elon Musk get so much credit when his engineers do all the work. We are living in a world where fraudster Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

yes, I really agree

Fair enough, for now, but what happens after this upcoming halving or next halving when the BTC blockchain reward isn't large enough to convince financially savvy miners to continue hashing when their mining costs exceed their rewards? Sooner than later it's going to happen. Transaction fees must replace rewards as the means of sustaining the security model. How large do these fees need to become on BTC at only 7 tps???

This doesn't have anything to do with BSV. But to answer your question, we'll have to wait and see as its an unprecedented issue. For the next couple of decades I think it will be a non-problem. The current hash rate for BTC is incredibly high. Its fine if it drops a couple orders of magnitude; Bitcoin will still be the most secure blockchain several times over. All other PoW coins combined don't come close to matching the security of its chain.

Thank you for not mentioning Lightning Network as the solution. It's a security weak bandaid.

BSV Terranode is processing millions of TPS now. That's scaling.

OK, setting aside the entire debate about the inherent centralization risks imposed by BSV's scaling model, what good does scaling do for a coin if nobody wants to use it?

You're right. It's probably closer to 50/50 at this point in the trial. I was mostly just poking the hornets nest and am surprised by the mostly muted response. I think some of you have maybe lost some of the wind in your sails.

Even I think BSV @ $35 is a fair price.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I'm mostly just trying to be optimistic because the world needs a coin that scales and everyone knows BTC doesn't.

Independent of the fact that its such a hacky, elementary school solution to say that "increasing the block size = scaling", an important piece of info you seem to be overlooking: nobody wants to use a coin run by a con artist.

The real battle ended years ago: virtually nobody takes BSV seriously anymore, and even fewer people still actually believe Craig is Satoshi.

That is very wishful-thinking of you. I'm not sure of your odds, but seems to be less than 50/50 from my limited point of view and some of the pieces of information (evidence and testimony) that I have heard about related to the trial, so far.

So you've been holding on to a bags full of bsv shitcoins since 2021? How is it going for you so far?
Have you considered what will happen when this lying scumbag loses this trial?

I've been mining BSV since 2021. I think I'm doing alright. The upside is going to be huge if he wins... like astronomical if he wins.

If he loses I can't see BSV going lower than $35 / coin.

Trying to pump in some sense in to the head of a BSV shill is a waste of time. It's like giving a pig a cake and expect it to eat it with dignity. It won't, it will plow it down and roll it all over the ground as though it was eating leftovers from a garbage pit Cheesy

He just came here to day the fraudster will win, but doesn't even mention why he thinks he will win.

Lolz this has turn to gambling and gambling is always on 50/50 either you win or you loss. If he is a fan of Craig then he wants his guy to win the COPA Trial because they must support their fans. But I don't see him winning the case because if he was the real creator of Bitcoin then it is very simple to know since Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, Craig Wright move a specific amount or unit of Bitcoin from the Genesis Block to another wallet then return it back and if he can do it then we will believe that he is one.

Craig Wright can't just come to the public and says he is the creator of Bitcoin. He has a lot of things to do to prove himself and I am not seeing any one bit for him to win any case at anywhere. Though I didn't follow up the case but I doubt seriously for him to win. JayJuanGee said 50/50 but I will say 0. Many Bitcoin early Bitcoin users even against him. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theblock.co/amp/post/278662/early-bitcoin-contributors-testify-against-craig-wright-at-copa-trial

A couple interesting tidbits to report on. Firstly, after 5 years, Craig's lawsuit against Peter McCormack came to its final end:

Second, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), an organization formed in 2021 to counter Craig's pursuit of a copyright on the Bitcoin white paper, rejected a settlement offer from Craig. The rejection comes after experts from both COPA and Craig found that the documents he submitted to prove he was Satoshi had been forged (and not only that, assuredly forged by Craig himself). Some of the biggest findings:

This one struck me as particularly hilarious:

Price of BSV is down 5% for the day.

Just want to reanimate this thread confirm that I am indeed the @Dogermint twitter account... In retrospect, can't believe this thread went for 79 pages Cheesy

it must be the longest scam accusation thread ever, even without a post in over a year. I know a lot has happened since then (almost all of it bad for Craig and BSV), but today I found a special reason to post here once again.

In response to a series of tweets by recently-former nChain CEO, Christen Ager-Hanssen (@agerhanssen), I felt compelled to write my own tweet on what I have endured since penning the OP of this thread, and why its important that people like Christen be supported going forward.

Here is the contents of my tweet if you'd rather not visit twitter (or X, rather):

Quote

I've been a dedicated Bitcoin enthusiast since 2014, have written hundreds of articles about BTC, crypto & the blockchain since then.

In 2019 I wrote one of the 1st major exposes on Bitcoin SV & detailed clearly why Craig Wright is a fraud, and published it on Bitcointalk, the original Bitcoin Forum:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-bitcoin-sv-bsv-fake-team-member-and-plagiarized-white-paper-5149062

It gained major traction and as a result my life has not been the same: Calvin Ayre, the individual most heavily invested in BSV, has personally gone out of his way to make my life hell since then, harassing me & attempting to discredit my online reputation any way he could.

In an IRL conversation with a BSV developer in 2021, I learned that Calvin himself was behind the smear campaign against me.

These men (Craig & Calvin) are totally unencumbered by any sense of morality. They are complete sociopaths, capable of saying or doing anything for the sake of making money.

I guess I'm writing this to let others not afraid of expressing their own interpretation of the reality of the situation, such as @agerhanssen
, that many of us are behind them and understand the gravity of the situation they are facing by simply expressing their viewpoint.

Soon the fraud that is BSV will be but a distant memory, and I applaud Christen's attempts to put the final nails in its coffin.

If you have followed the faketoshi saga at all, I highly recommend reading @agerhanssen's most recent tweets, they are very enlightening, even if we've known for 4 years it was all a scam to begin with.

This ...

Is one of the reasons I have stayed away and 'watched' - since My direct disgust of Craig Wright and his farce.

Time is a good thing.

Craig is a Disgusting Human - Period! Let alone his foray into the fools world of Lies and Deceit. He is far from the King of Fools, but he certainly is high up on the list.

It is about time that the Rope that has been allowed by the 'Legal' System for Craig to be Yanked in hard - and Hang the Disgusting Person he is - in Public. A financial execution that can be rivalled by none.

If the FACTS of the past few years have not proved that he is just another Little Boy 'pretending' (apologies - I need to use the word 'identifying' now) to be anything else but a charlatan of the Crypto world, then the World needs to look closely at the so called 'Justice' System that Craig and his minions has to easily manipulated, with the use of the Money he has accrued through this entire lineage of deceit.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but thought this was as good as place as any for CSW updates - new court case this week:

Quote from: CoinDesk

The 7-day trial seeks to determine whether a series of Hodlonaut’s tweets in March 2019 – in which he wrote that Wright’s claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto were false, and called him a fraud and a scammer – are protected by freedom of speech in Norway.

Source: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/09/12/who-can-say-who-is-not-satoshi-hodlonaut-and-wright-go-to-trial-to-find-out/

I had thought this was over a long time ago after all the previous drama, but then I realised it's not

Quote

The suit, brought by Hodlonaut, is one of two concurrent lawsuits between the two men over the tweets.

If any see any further updates about this case can you post them here? Or if there's a thread let me know? Thanks.

Alright, for anyone still following and interested, I defended my thesis today and received an A. Since it's been reviewed, you all can view it here: https://theses.cz/id/x3hbif/Levyova_-_Finding_Bitcoins_Creator_Satoshi_Nakamoto.pdf.

In the citations, you can see a comprehensive list of links to all the posts from this forum that I used for the analyses themselves, as well as links to articles from CSW and Nick Szabo.

Thank you to all who answered my questions and helped me get into this topic, it's been really interesting
