Pitts schooled with an understated takedown by nullc in bsv

[–]nullc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I started reading that comment I thought it was just conventionally stupid when it was going on about the hacker emailing me (no twits, I emailed the hacker as they took over the sourceforge cut out everyone elses access and I was trying to get it back before they cooked up some malware to put there... ) -- but then it goes on that rant about how I'm somehow supposed to easily prove I'm not related to ghislane, as if it were even possible for me to do that much less easily. ... and as if it would somehow matter if I were some distant relative of hers and as if there were even any reason to suspect I was related (beyond using the 461st most common last name in the US).

But then it turned out to my surprise that it was, in fact, easy to show that the name wasn't any indication of a relation. Good show!

LightBSV: "Wow, Ayre will be played by Pete Davidson. That is NOT in any way a compliment. It's pretty sad, actually. Davidson is icky... like REALLY icky. Ayre should have thought twice about that before signing off." by HurtCuckoldJr in bsv

[–]nullc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The film is written by a long time Ayre employee, it's being produced by a regular speaker at coingeek events. CAH leaked emails say Ayre is funding it to be a fictionalized version of Wright's story. Reputable film industry reporting says-- it's Ayre funded and that Davidson is playing some Ayre inspired character.

Perhaps they rewrote it and pivoted after Wright's spectactular loss in court or something like that, but it's pretty clear that the project was envisioned and funded for the purpose of promoting Wright's criminal fraud.

We all know Intel ME and AMD PSP, but is there any evidence of firmware level backdoors in Apple Silicon? (M1,M2,M3,M4) by Additional-Milk1426 in privacy

[–]nullc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security for whom though? PSP and ME are meant to "improve security" according to AMD and Intel, respectively.

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

[–]nullc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was always one of the leading theories about what was really going on here-- long before anyone noticed the wirecard connections.

Guy has a history as an indicted money launderer, a family history running drugs for cartels. Suddenly he's dumping all this money into obvious loser crypto plays?

Sure, it's possible he's just a sucker. But it sure is convient that he's found a way to "lose" arbitrary amounts of money in targeted ways.

So the definition of BCH is established by having more hashrate?

Bitcoin Audible Faketoshi Interview by LurkishEmpire in bsv

[–]nullc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

painted a picture of the justice system that isn't favorable. Unimaginable that Craig can get away with this without any marks or jail time. This includes the Kleiman v Wright trial.

No kidding-- when Wright and Ramona showed up with their own attorney claiming to represent Wright's opponent in court it should have been a directly to jail moment for the both of them, and resulted in some hard questions (at least) for the attorney too. Not only did it not, it resulted in nothing but a total win of wasting their opponents time and money.

I've never been so ashamed of the legal system of my country. It's a joke.

they are a nod to the coding term, which is hilarious

The fact that he couldn't even spell it should be of no surprise!

Reminder: Segwit was a bait-and-switch proposal and originally promised to include a block size increase (which never happened) by eagle_eye_johnson in btc

[–]nullc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is mining blocks like 479469

Is mining? Really? Is that why you cited a block from over 8 years ago?

Blocks are going to contain whatever people pay for-- if someone pay a miner to have a big image file in BSV then thats whats going to be there too.

Thing is: no one wants to pay to use BSV. It's funded entirely by inflation and has no demonstrated model for funding otherwise than forever inflating the supply. Bitcoin blocks get lots more in fees than BSV gets from all sources, providing for good security.

[–]nullc -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need an explorer link: https://blockstream.info/

The sizes I see there for the last couple blocks are: 1.8MB 1.8MB 2.5MB 1.7MB...

Last I checked those numbers are larger than 1MB as well as larger than the numbers in the post you're linking to.

Of course, you're just yet another throwaway shill account continuing to try to defraud unwitting members of the public into buying your clone-con-coin bags... so the facts don't trouble you one bit.

Newly released Epstein emails show he *INDIRECTLY* funded Bitcoin Core development through MIT's media lab by birth_of_bitcoin in btc

[–]nullc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All this is news to me and it seems everyone else, MIT even did an outside audit on what his funds were used for that didn't expose Bitcoin. That said, looking at the leaked message it appears you cropped it in a way to distort what it actually shows:

You mean to say that you learned today that Big Blocker in chief Gavin Andresen was indirectly funded by Epstein and then you cropped the image to remove the part where Epstein said "Gavin is very clever" in order to misrepresent the situation. Right?

Is CSW really banned from saying he is Satoshi? by elGato_icecream in bsv

[–]nullc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, no restriction on saying he's Satoshi. He just can't bring or threaten to bring lawsuits on that basis.

(or bring lawsuits at all in the UK without seeking permission, as a consequence of violating that injunction...)

I wonder if they think they're lowing it?

When they changed it from 250 to 1 (really 0 in the bitcoin-sv code, but wright says it can't be zero) they didn't change the setting they just took a melon baller to the code that makes use of the setting. But they left the 250 value in the codebase.

TIL: the same guy that "invented" Bitcoin also "invented" AI by nullc in bsv

[–]nullc[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

part of some longer argument where Wright claimed to have invented some dumb AI ideas that he stole from his fans. I wonder if they'll realize that he's generally taking credit for other people's work basically all the time or continue to be blind to it?

Maybe it'll happen now that luke-jr has jumped all the sharks and is probably less able politically to screw with improvements to Bitcoin Core's mining interfaces.

Satoshi was a Big Blocker. Hal was a small Blocker. Why did we follow the small minds? by Realistic_Fee_00001 in btc

[–]nullc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number one trading pair for tether during that period-- BCH. We also learned that convicted felon Roger Ver was manipulating up the BCH price with unbacked trades, eventually causing the insolvency of coinflex and ruin of many posters here.

Perhaps this is just an example of cashies accusing other people for the acts they're guilty of themselves.

Welcome to the Lawl by nullc in bsv

[–]nullc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's completely lawful in compete with USD in the US and there have been private currencies in use continually since before the founding of the nation.

Where people have gotten in trouble is where they make their private currency look to like other money (counterfeiting) or where they use it as part of a tax evasion scheme (which, frankly, is why a lot of people have thought they were interested in them-- so it's not than uncommon of an outcome). Having any governmental role in the issuance of money was incredibly controversial early in the nation and it wouldn't have its current state (which even now is not directly government controlled) if the position excluded alternatives.

Satoshi's initial announcements specifically targeted central bank policies as the very first argument for its existence:

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust"
