So looks like the guy who controls all the major communicatioin channels for Bitcoin Segwit is advocating for switching Bitcoin off POW and making Bitcoin Cash the only SHA-256 coin. (https://medium.com/@CobraBitcoin/an-open-letter-to-the-bitcoin-community-to-change-the-proof-of-work-algorithm-12a6545c20d0))

What's worse is that reddit loves the idea. Looks like the Bitcoin Cash people were right all along. Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin.

Just a reminder that Bitcoin Cash is also working on Blockchain Sharding, something rarely talked about but massive. It will allow you to download partial blockchains and thus still be able to be a node on your raspberry pi regardless of network size. Check BUIP024 [https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/resources/buips]) So there is literally no reason to use Bitcoin Segwit, literally not one. Unless you like communism and having all of your hard earned money taken from you by soyboys.

We have a thread here were we are discussing the fact that Bitcoin developers are working hand in hand with the owner of all major Bitcoin communication platforms to centralize control over the mining algorithm used in Bitcoin so that they can censor whatever users they want off the network and steal their hard-earned profits. And you're response is that? My god, you newfags are such communist bitches.

If you want fast transactions and smart contracts, use ETH. If you want decentralization, use BTC. BCH is literally obsolete as there are no categories in which it outperforms the others.

The fact that BCH can continually hard fork without any resistance shows that development is centralized. BTC and ETH are the only coins that have persevered through real governance conflicts, and BTC is the only one which has done so without a dictator.

p.s. LOL at the idea of 0-conf txes meaning anything at all. The whole point of blockchain is that it solves double-spend, and this is reversed by relying on 0-conf. As soon as it is worthwhile for someone to exploit this, BCH's business model will die.

This is hilarious, you think that a coin with one development team that won't allow conflicting ideas to form is decentralized.

No one with any authority in BTC is in support of switching the mining algo or moving away from POS. Cobra is basically the new Mike Hearn; he doesn't understand what makes BTC valuable, and thinks the current problems require immediate patches or Bitcoin will die.

If you think rules coded into BCH software will protect against double-spends, I'm sorry but you don't understand distributed systems. Anyone can change the code their miner/node runs; there is nothing built into the consensus rules that enforces honoring first-seen transactions, and there can never be since there is no concept of first-seen in a distributed system. This is exactly the problem with Ver running the show, he treats it as a business where fundamentals don't matter and everything is perception. This could pump BCH's price work in the short term (and has been) but will fall apart soon enough.

You meant to say moving away from POW to POS, that's fine, but the lead developers for Bitcoin Core are in favor of Cobra's proposal. You got hoodwinked, its ok, it happens. But you're on the losing side.
>there is nothing built into the consensus rules that enforces honoring first-seen transactions, and there can never be since there is no concept of first-seen in a distributed system.
Two things, Ripple's only method for stopping double spending is the first seen rule so what meth do you smoke to think its impossible? Secondly the only method to reverse a 0-confirmation transaction is a Finney attack. To do this reliably requires you to be a large miner and it risks you losing out on the block reward in the block you mined. So who would honestly risk 12.5BTC on the potential of double spending to get their groceries from the grocery store? It doesn't make sense from a profit standpoint. Sure its possible, but you will lose a shit ton of money if you try.

You can run a full node on Bitcoin Cash with a $1000 computer that is capable of receiving 3,000tx/s which is 50% more than VISA. That's with today's technology. So it can grow 3 orders of magnitude today and even poorfags can still run a full node no problem and you will have a network running faster than VISA.

First seen by who? In a decentralized system, everything is seen at different times by each participant. The transaction first seen by the merchant accepting your 0-conf tx may be different from the one first seen by the miner which mines the block. There is nothing preventing this from being explored, and increasing the block size will increase propagation times making it easier to exploit. The only way this doesn't happen is it the network itself is centralized.

That's why if you read the manual for Bitcoin Cash you are suggested not to accept 0-confirmation unless you are connected to a network of nodes around the world. Good news is that any company can create such a network and sell this service to retailers around the world for a fraction of a cent payment (only possible through the low fees due to Bitcoin Cash's block size). This "problem" is already solved, the thing is that adoption hasn't increased to the point that the solution is adopted widespread yet.

Because you can choose any third party you want or set up your own nodes and do it yourself. Or you can just wait for confirmations and this won't even be an issue. Compare that to Lightning hubs in which only a couple of hubs will be able to route your transaction and if they decide not to route your transaction it can't go through. So which is more decentralized? A system which allows you to choose from any third party nodes and/or your own nodes - or a system in which you are forced to use specific Lightning hubs that can choose whether or not to route your transaction.

Same is true if banks today. There are a ton of banks to choose from, so why do we even need crypto?

Also, setting up your own nodes doesn't work if everyone needs to do it. You need to actually have a significant number of well-distributed (topologically) nodes relative to the wise of the overall network. This is also expensive as fuck, and all in an attempt to re-solve the problem that had already been solved by POW.

We're talking about transaction finality, but money supply. Fiat transaction finality is at the discretion of banks and credit cards providers. Money supply is not interesting in this discussion since both BTC and BCH have fixed distribution methods with no chance of that ever changing.

As right now, BTC is way more fun to trade than BCH, ETH is shit along with every single ERC20, LTC is very liked. And the rest of the alts are fine they exist but nobody cares if they die. So, their is no point in not having 90% of your money in BTC, or 50/50 if you bought after the fork and you didn’t sold BCH. The only reason to spend BTC right now is to trade and try get more BTC and that’s it, everyone is playing the long game, even short term trades, because we all know the value of this shit we are buying.

Its not required you dumbfuck. I explain that in my post. I said its an option. OPTION. Do you know what that word means. It means you can use that method or you can use a method that relies on yourself. You can make shit up all you want, but it just makes you look stupid. Also there is no option for 0 confirmation in Bitcoin Segwit. So Bitcoin Segwit doesn't even compete on this front. So you have BCH which offers many options for 0 confirmation transactions and Bitcoin Segwit which offers none. Then you have BCH which offers many options for routing your transactions and an insurance against censorship and you have Bitcoin Segwit which only has a couple of lightning hubs that can route your transaction and no insurance against censorship.

Transaction finality isn't blatantly spelled out by the consensus rules, but it is implied.

Also you will have to wait for it to synch before your funds show up. Also if you don't want to sync the blockchain you can load the wallet.dat onto another device then open up the debug window and use the command dumpprivkey https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/

Its the only coin that uses a world graph network that has near instant transactions with near zero fees. Its the only coin capable of adding all privacy features to the coin. Its the only coin capable of adding smart contracts and tokenization for near zero fees. It's the only coin with Bitcoin in its name that isn't succeptible to the Segwit selfish mining attack. Its the only coin that uses consensual means for contentious upgrades (hardforks) rather than relying on UASF which don't give users the option to pick which chain they use. It will soon be the only coin to use SHA-256 which is the most decentralized form of mining as it is impossible for botnets and hackers to gain a large control over the mining and instead forces miners to be honest businessmen.

You would have had to encrypt the wallet with outside programs like PGP to lock yourself out of the wallet.dat directory. Even if you did that you should still have the encrypted wallet.dat file. If you used PGP the wallet.dat file just has PGP as a prefix or suffix to it, I can't remember exactly how it works.

You clearly need to do more research. 10 mb is block size and not "block time". You can set block size to 1 tb and it still wouldn't mean instant transactions. Transactions still need several confirmations to be considered safe, and in BCash's case, transactions need more confirmations to be considered safe as majority of hashrate is controlled by Jihan and his mining cartel, so 51% attack is more probable. Your claim of instant transactions doesn't mean shit. Bitcoin transactions are also instant, but it's safer to wait for at least one transaction. You BCash shills are very misinformed.

Unsafe crutch that's only feasible for reversible products or something where customers are known which allows easy prosecution for theft.

There are two methods for reversing BCH transactions, the first is to send two transactions simultaneously, and it is easily stopped by monitoring network traffic with a few nodes. The second is a Finney attack in which you mine a block but withhold it in order to fork the chain and reverse your transaction, but the Finney attack costs exponentially more than you can stand to gain. Zero confirmation transactions are less safe than transactions with confirmations, but reversing a transaction in BCH means you lose a lot of money on the resources required to do it.

Amazon gift cards can be cancelled if the original buyer reports theft (usually due to stolen credit card credentials). So it's impossible to win anything.

Succeed at double spend: get a worthless card

Example:
"Remarkably, all of the fraudulent gift cards got cancelled within two days. This is surprising because the credit card chargeback process typically takes a month. This implies that these were not purchased with stolen credit cards, but that people are buying gift cards, trading for btc, then immediately contacting Amazon customer service to have the gift card cancelled."

You realize that because the contract stated on the page says you get to keep the card if the double spend is reversed you can sue him if he doesn't have the card sent. On twitter it says the gift card is sent in seconds so he doesn't have time to reverse it (meaning its a digital gift card, not physical). Either way if he does renege on his offer you can sue him for more than the $1k the card is worth. And if double spends are possible then you don't have anything to lose.

Bitcoin Cash transactions are not equally reversible to Bitcoin Segwit transactions. I can reverse Bitcoin Segwit transactions at will. If someone did this for Bitcoin Segwit I would buy each and every gift card up for sale and take all of the giftcards offered within 5 minutes. To reverse Bitcoin Segwit transactions all you do is send a near zero fee transaction, clear all unconfirmed transactions, then send a transaction with a super high fee. The miners will accept the transaction with the super high fee 100% of the time. I've done it dozens of times already. Its how you get stuck transactions unstuck. Go ahead and make an equivalent offer using Bitcoin Segwit zero confirmation transactions. Spoiler Alert: You won't.

This is great - for a full distributed blockchain. But actually not necessary for a Validating Node.
For a Validating Node, the only thing necessary is actually the UTXO set - because only accounts with balances would be able to spend anyway (hence, those will be the only addresses that need validation).
The trick of this is "syncing" this UTXO set in the first place. There's a few techniques here with various trade-offs. Andresen outlined one, but I don't have the link handy.
But, basically, you could run a validating node on like 3.5GB of space (probably less for BCH because the fees are smaller, hence not as many funds are locked up in addresses that don't contain enough to even cover the fee).

Hey there Jihan! Fuck you!

Moving away from SHA-256 would be fantastic. Any proof algo that can be easily implemented in hardware needs to go, and it needs to be changed regularly. Mining should be doable in nearly any country, on any hardware, not just China. That's what decentralisation means.

Statement of fact about the price and required PAYMENT. A double spend means there's no payment. Therefore there's no obligation to give people who didn't manage to actually PAY a valid gift card.
Even with the possibility of cancelling a card he's still so afraid of losing that he demands a 100% premium. Pathetic.

If you move towards CPU or GPU mining, you end up with a situation where your blockchain is vulnerable to attack by other miners that can run the same algo efficiently.
I.e. imagine if BTC went to GPU mining and the Ethereum crowd all of a sudden shifted their mining power, maliciously, at BTC to perform a 51% attack. Not necessarily all that likely, but within the realm of possibility (imagine if Google or Amazon wanted to take down a crypto).
>Mining should be doable in nearly any country, on any hardware, not just China
See problem above. Really, best thing would be to have several nations developing chips. Real problem is China's monopolisation of IC manufacturing. That's a ((())) problem - general technique outlined in The Protocols.
>That's what decentralisation means.
You don't sound like a paid shill, so you should go read up on what exactly transpired that lead to the Bitcoin's forking. No one necessarily wanted this to happen, but there's very good reason that it had to.

That would solve the reversibility and criminal theft issue (as it is currently, double spending would be a crime) but not the premium issue.
Your claim is that 0-conf is good enough for normal commercial payments.

100% premium for a double spending risk is not a normal payment. The actual risk would have to be <1% for 0-confs to be feasible. Which is not possible to achieve as it requires trusting miners.

Sure:
>it's funny how you've stated how BCash's transaction speed is few seconds. FYI, Bitcoin and BCash both have 10 mb block time, so your claim of "few seconds" doesn't make much sense.
What is being implied here is that zero-conf is relatively secure in that you are almost assured that your transaction will be included in the next block (due to higher block size). Where as, with BTC, if a low-fee transactoin is committed it is uncertain whether it will make it at all. If RBF is used, the tx can be replaced entirely with a new tx, making zero-conf infeasible for transactions completely.
>Cash is also a centralized shitcoin controlled by Roger and his Chinese mining cartel.
You'd be better off attacking Jihan. I don't think Roger owns and miners. In any case, development of Bitcoin Cash is far more decentralized than Bitcoin Core and the communities are far less censored.
>Also, lightning network can already support thousands of transactions with just SegWit and 1 mb blocks.
It might - theoretically. But this isn't tested and there are quite a few caveats that are, as yet, unsolved so far as routing goes.
>10 mb is block size and not "block time".
Yes.
>Transactions still need several confirmations to be considered safe
True. But zero-conf under BCH is far safer than zero-conf under BTC for the reasons outlined above.
>transactions need more confirmations to be considered safe as majority of hashrate is controlled by Jihan and his mining cartel,
I don't think this is entirely true - but, in any case, worst they can do is not include your transaction.
>Bitcoin transactions are also instant, but it's safer to wait for at least one transaction
They are replacable by setting a higher fee.
> zero confirmation transactions were considered unsafe due to risk of double spend
Mitigatable by watching for a double-spend. Relay time to most miners within network is < 10 seconds.

What are you talking about, the product is digital and sent within seconds of receiving a zero-confirmation Bitcoin Cash payment. The question is not whether or not the PRODUCT is reversible, but whether or not BITCOIN CASH ZERO CONFIRMATION TRANSACTIONS are reversible. Why do I have to explain this to you? If you can reverse BCH transactions then you get a free $1000 gift card. So if 0 confirmation transactions are useless like you say you can get a free $1000. So either do it or shut your bitch mouth.

So the only way to prevent keeping the product after a successful double-spend is if it's reversible.

Satoshi talked about payment channels between to users (streaming money) but this was to be done with signatures. So that means Satoshi talked about the versions of Lightning that Bitcoin Cash can do (for example with SigHashNoInput). But this version of lightning means you open a channel with each user with whom you transact with thus preserving the one to one ratio of block entries to transactions. Introducing Segwit destroys the one-to-one relationship between block entries and transactions. Segwit also removes the fraud proof nature of the blockchain. Payment channels as Satoshi designed them are nothing similar to Segwit's version of Lightning. Payment channels were ways that two trusted parties (for example a bank and a high frequency trader) could use one transaction and one fee in order to clear a channel after a specified period of time. But it was always meant to be done between parties who trust each other and it was meant to be optional.

I'm assuming English isn't your native language because this again makes it seem like you are talking about whether the product is reversible. If you are talking about reversing BCH transactions and think it is possible then do it and you get a free $1000. That is challenge. I hope you realize I keep responding to you even though you don't understand the challenge to show everyone how stupid Bitcoin Segwit supporters are. If English isn't your native language I guess its not your fault, but I'm still not sure what you are trying to say unless you are just retarded. The challenge of the product here is this. If you can reverse a BCH transaction you get a free $1000. So if your argument is that BCH transactions are reversible then go and claim your $1000.

I feel sorry for you. The challenge demands a 100% premium in order that the man making the challenge can take money from idiots like you. If BCH transactions were reversible the risk of paying the $2000 would be zero. Also the product is not reversible as he uses a crypto exchange facilitator that gives him the ability to set the number of confirmations after which the product is sold. He set the confirmations to zero. So if you can get the transaction broadcast the product is yours. Again, I know you don't understand, that's ok. Some parents drop their kids, it happens. But the fact is that if Bitcoin Cash transactions are reversible then you could accept this product and receive free $1000 gift cards. If you don't believe me then set up the exact same offer for Bitcoin Segwit. I'll reverse the transactions myself and make a few thousand dollars while only paying a few dozen bucks in fees. Go ahead, place the exact same offer under the exact same conditions for Bitcoin Segwit. I'll wait.
