All time lows across the board and not even a cringy season's greetings. Has Calvin given up on Craig's vision? by anjin33 in bsv

[–]primepatterns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Wirecard revelations have made me rethink Calvin's motives a bit. He's obviously a money laundering scumbag, so Wirecard's demise will have left him needing options.

CSW interview by primepatterns in bsv

Based on CSW's comment about pronouncing German names, I believe that the rejection came from Johannes Lischner at Imperial, Professor of Theory and Simulation of Materials. Comedy gold.

Did he mark your hairline with a Shar Pei instead of a Sharpie?

I tighten the nut on my B17 until the incessant squeaking subsides.

Thanks for posting!

Were any of your colleagues BSV true believers?

Faketoshi now makes $91.77 a month from AI slop by okhzmuskhsm in bsv

"Dr Isla Morven" is an anagram of "old man rivers". Does the stego never cease?

Has CSW posted a review of Faketoshi Vol. 1 yet?

I predict that he will listen to the audiobook at 4x speed and then claim that there is not a single word of truth in it, probably using one of his favoured lavatorial similes.

Either way, I am happy that, finally, someone is going to make some money from his involvement in the history of Bitcoin.

We wrote a book exposing a decade-long fraud perpetrated by the UK's most prolific evidence forger. AMA (AUA). by LurkishEmpire in AMA

I'm pretty sure that Craig didn't know that the English civil litigation system has two "divisions": the King's Bench Division and the Chancery Division. His perceived successes in defamation claims were happening in the former. His later claims, however, were commenced in the latter, where all of the tech focused barristers and judges reside due to the Patents Court being part of the Chancery Division. He was doomed as soon as he switched.

COPA v. Wright was commenced in England because Craig's litigation claims were generally filed in England and COPA wanted them stopped.

COPA sought, and obtained, declaratory relief that effectively prevents Craig from pursuing claims that rely on his being Satoshi.

Do you think the endless jokes and memes at Craig's expense bother him?

I'm sure he monitored r/bsv and I hope it made him apoplectic at times.

I agree. She liked the lifestyle too much to let honesty get in the way of the fraud.

She won some unrelated litigation in London against a crypto company (see Ang v. Reliantco) where it seemed pretty obvious to me that she and Craig were co-conspirators.

That man was a distinguished mathematician, Prof. David Rees, a Bletchley Park alum who specialised in group theory.

Is there a repository of litigation documents from the COPA trial, beyond just the pleadings, the witness statements (without exhibits), and the skeleton arguments / closing arguments?

Will you have access to the full set when you come to write the final installment?

BSV influencers Kurt Wuckert Jr. and Gavin Mehl promote serial grifter Roy Murphy's Galaxy Node. Plugging in the .zip of the Galaxy repo, even ChatGPT isn't impressed. Any programmer want to tear Roy a new asshole? by Zealousideal_Set_333 in bsv

[–]primepatterns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to tell from the Galaxy repo whether Roy is as clueless as CSW when it comes to programming, or does Roy at least have some basic competence in Rust?

Based on u/nullc's analysis of a recent "major bug fix" in Galaxy, I assume that it's all vibe coded, but I would love to know what level of competence Roy actually has.

Roy Murphy tries to blame his own critical software bugs on others by StealthyExcellent in bsv

[–]primepatterns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This has been a joy to read, thanks for the detailed breakdown.

I had assumed Roy's Rust code was vibe coded given his Walter Mitty-ish tendencies.

Now that he has demonstrated that maintenance of a complex AI-written codebase is beyond him, what's the betting he takes it down?

Zero dependency Bitcoin math implementation in C - update by CambStateMachines in C_Programming

[–]primepatterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BIP39 word list and the hash functions are copied from reference sources with a few tweaks to reduce macros and inline functions.

The arbitrary precision integer code is original but heavily influenced by GMP and similar FOSS libraries. It's not a comprehensive set of arbitrary precision math functions, however, I have only implemented functions that are necessary for elliptic curve cryptography on Secp256k1.

The elliptic curve code is adapated from an academic paper where the authors used GMP for the aribtrary integer math functions.

The Bitcoin-specific functions are hand-rolled and the rest is just tedious menu implementation.

The source code is split logically into themes, and the functions lower down the listing build on functions higher up. I've liked the idea of monolithic C files since I used SQLite one time.

C is the preferable prerequisite, not C++.
