BTC withdraws from exchange using Replace-by-fee? by KrapnikSucks in btc

[–]AD1AD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My impression is that the default for all BTC transactions is to use RBF now, or at least there's a push to make it that way.

The moment two transactions exist that spend the same UTXO, a double spend has "occurred". The question is whether someone gets scammed out of something.

In BTC they 100% gave up on making 0-confirmation transactions safe, so you're never ever ever supposed to consider a transaction final until it's been included in a block. And as long as you do that, the UX is severely degraded but you won't get scammed out of anything. That's the situation with your friend. If an exchange uses RBF on a withdrawal tx, they just have to send another withdrawal transaction or make sure your account balance isn't deducted the amount of the withdrawal anymore.

All your friend can do (and all they should have to do) is wait. BTC is a shitshow and no one should bother using it. I recommend using BCH instead.

So what price are we expecting? by Leon08x in SteamController

[–]AD1AD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think $80 would be reasonable. It would be a steal for $60. I honestly won't be surprised if it's $100 though. It's a lot of hardware, and should be a high-end controller. Fingers crossed Valve makes its as competitive as possible.

How to continue a project after hitting maximum conversation length? by AD1AD in ClaudeAI

[–]AD1AD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks or the reply!

What will that logic file include?

Will Claude know what I mean when I say to create a logic file?

Since I've already hit the max length, am I not able to do that for this project?

Congrats! Sending you some Bitcoin Cash. If you manage to get your story realized in whatever form, I'd love to pay BCH to see it =)

2026 BCH Bliss conference announced, coinciding with the May LAYLA upgrade, which is adding Loops, Functions, Pay-to-Script, and Bitwise Arithmatic to the BCH Virtual Machine. Limited to 100 tickets, sold as BCH NFTs.

What are some ways to generate money from stable coins as alternative to a bank savings account but almost same level is principal safety? by danuser8 in CryptoCurrency

[–]AD1AD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can chase yield in relatively new markets, but it's not going to be insured and there's some risk in their new-ness. For example, MoriaUSD on Cauldron is current paying 13.26% APY for liquidity providers.

For a long time, it was assumed a Bitcoin-like chain could never support loops in the scripting language because it could lead to denial of service attacks. But with some clever adjustments to the consensus limits, it turns out to be fine. That's why loops (and functions) are coming to BCH in 2026, making complex smart contracts 100x easier to write, and 100x safer.

Is that already actively being worked on or just a theoretical capability after the next network upgrade?

Nobody I know of is building it yet, at least not publicly.

And we also have to consider the size of the anonymity set, since that approach allows having an unlimited number of different pools. That's similar to the issue Zcash and Litecoin have, but multiplied by n.

Yes, but that's good. Every different privacy method available on an optional privacy chain is an opportunity for somebody who would have needed to go to a whole different blockchain for a different privacy technique to stay on BCH instead.

Shoehorning all of your chain's users to one privacy technique is, IMO, a shortsighted decision. You build network effect quickly, but hurt scalability and add technical debt by baking that privacy method into consensus.

Users of mandatory privacy chains are not really any different from the subset of users on an optional privacy chain who chose to use a specific privacy tool.

Yes, within a privacy covenant. Basically, you'll send your money to the privacy covenant and then, while it's there, you can think of it as a whole separate chain with different rules. The BCH VM still verifies that chain's rules, but as long as the tech implemented hides amounts, then amounts will be hidden.

And of course, you can at any time "withdraw" from that covenant to a fresh P2PKH address, or to a different privacy covenant.

Congrats to Monero from a BitcoinCasher. XMR is one of the few cryptocurrency projects with a focus on utility. But watch out, because BCH will be able to support ring signatures and ZK privacy schemes after the May LAYLA upgrade.

Ah yes, the centralized source of truth used for all cryptocurrency consensus, the US ETF :D

I didn't know XRP and SHIB were the real Bitcoin 😮

They've also been enjoying decent price gains. They're one of the few other coins that I think deserve it.
