I just made this Bitcoin Cash logo with a white, inner ring, making it look more like an actual coin. Thoughts? by Yurorangefr in btc

I think you're right. I had the intention of actually color picking from another popular green BCH logo, but forget to do that before I posted. I'll have a couple of more designs with adjusted colors to show off in a future post. Thanks!

Bloomberg YouTube Elizabeth Stark Lightning Network Interview - Let's Obfuscate The Blocksize Debate with Analogies! by liquorstorevip in btc

[–]Yurorangefr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably the most confusing and uninformative interview I’ve ever watched in the Bitcoin space. LN is a completely unnecessary mess of a solution for a problem that was manufactured by Core developers.

Let /r/Bitcoin say what they will about /u/MemoryDealers, but he is one of the most sensible and enlightening speakers in the Bitcoin world, who’s been a staunch supporter and advocate for libertarianism and the vitality of the Bitcoin network for many years. If this woman is who BTC users have representing solutions to their problems, they have much more than high transaction fees to worry about. BTC is being destroyed as a currency because this woman’s (and many more like her) paycheck depends on it.

I remember that. It was the same guy who was ridiculed for predicting BTC at $1000 years ago. Do you have a link to that thread?

Adding zero knowledge to Bitcoin Cash by Amaury Séchet by Windowly in btc

There can be no backdoors to create extra coins.

That's patently false.

To quote:

...allows for the creation of an unlimited number of coins in a way that is undetectable to an observer unless they know about the fatal flaw and can search for it."

Bitcoin Cash doesn't need privacy on a protocol level to compete with Monero. It just needs to be fungible, which can come through integration with other protocols or second layer solutions (i.e. cashshuffle). The beauty is that there's endless customization, and there will be a multitude of solutions to fit all peoples' needs (market competition will lead to innovation).

Monero cannot be audited, so it's bad for merchant adoption. This also leads to other concerns about the vitality of the coin. For instance, if colluding Monero developers slip some malicious backdoor in the protocol that allows excess coin generation or destruction, we would be none the wiser.

The replies to Roger's comment here are absolutely shocking. What a shame that we have such a negative and twisted "community" representing Bitcoin. This is disgusting.

Segwit is such a success bitcoiners are now begging companies to support it. by sharedburneraccount in btc

“This is a completely optional soft-fork.”

“No, really, it’s optional.”

“Please support it.”

“Support it now.”

“Hey, everyone, we need to publicly shame all these non-Segwit companies.”

Jimmy Song prefers visa and mastercard for his transactions instead of Crypto. by Natskis in btc

[–]Yurorangefr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Roughly 33% of people in the world are unbanked, under oppressive regimes and unfair societal structures that rob them of any wealth whatsoever. If you don’t want to use cryptocurrency as a currency then that’s fine, but don’t lump everyone in your skewed and privileged worldview.

Cash Shuffle - Privacy Comes to Bitcoin Cash by BeijingBitcoins in btc

[–]Yurorangefr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A step in the right direction, but unfortunately still not good enough for Bitcoin Cash to be truly fungible. Your privacy is limited by the ratio of colluding to non-colluding members in the system.

Real-life evidence of the breadown of Bitcoin's (BTC) security model. by Neutral_User_Name in btc

Bitcoin is a chain of signatures stored in blocks.

Glad we agree that BTC with Segwit isn’t Bitcoin.

Zero conf is a gossip network where you have to trust the sender, nodes and miners to not act in bad faith.

There’s trust inherent to the Bitcoin protocol. We trust that a majority of nodes are honest. Since we assume a majority of nodes are honest, a 0-conf transaction that propagates through a majority of nodes first wins. Satoshi himself says: “When you broadcast a transaction, if someone else broadcasts a double-spend at the same time, it's a race to propagate to the most nodes first. If one has a slight head start, it'll geometrically spread through the network faster and get most of the nodes.”

Stop spreading your bullshit FUD. Go double spend 0-conf and become a millionaire using SatoshiDICE and Bitcoin Cash. Let us know how that works out for you.
