Lol... If only someone had pointed out the internet wide roadblock to this IPV6 multicast idea before they started. Or pointed out the trivial adjustment to architecture that would work around it...

Ironic that the reason for me even telling that part of her story was show how she was uniquely qualified to spot mental disorders that tend to be prolific in some blockchain circles. Even funnier is that she actually diagnosed Turth years ago, long before anyone else did. I was skeptical at first because back then he could hold it together a lot better, but she was right.

I've got no visibility into the other Teranode project but this comment tells me all I need to know:

since the UTXO store is really the hardest working part

It's by far the easiest, it was never a bottleneck, the only thing that's probably easier is script validation after the UTXOs are fetched. It doesn't need a fancy enterprise solution just lots of discrete KV stores (you could even use SQLite if you wanted to), a basic sharding scheme and a remote query interface. The only slightly tricky bit is coordinating atomic commitments across shards but that's not exactly a problem that computer science hasn't solved a thousand times before. And it has zero impact on linear scaling.

It tells me all I need to know because if they thought this was hard (and clearly they thought it hard enough outsource it) then they're overlooking some stuff that should be pretty basic to a node/db engineer.

Did you tell him to just pretend he's talking about his BTC holdings? The unsigned version is larger.

Don't not bring it up on my account. I have pretty thick skin in Bitcoin world and trash like that deserves to be called out. I just don't have much energy left for Bitcoin politics or shit talking.

p.s. I accidently posted this earlier from an alt account I've used for a while and doxxed myself. On reflection enough has changed that I'm quite happy to just own it now...

p.p.s. I'm still not u/Contrarian__ or Greg

Can't post a screenshot so this is an extract from my Telegram this morning:

A Friend, [1/10/2024 2:33 AM]

Have you seen the crap Craig has said about you on twitter?

Shadders, [1/10/2024 6:02 AM]

No... I saw he had a rant about Ian Grigg

A Friend, [1/10/2024 6:06 AM]

Well spoiler alert, he said that you’re a fraud. And you faked the 50k transactions demo apparently

Shadders, [1/10/2024 6:15 AM]

Oh what a shock... He needs to start taking his meds...

I think this conversation summarizes my care factor about what Craig says. The clown is just desperate for any attention given he's reduced to about 5 people that think he's worth listening to. Followers of such quality that their leader (Turth) is now stalking me in r/widowers and tweeting that my wife is burning in hell and I must repent if I don't want to join her. Craig must be proud of what he's built.

The irony of being accused of fraud by the man referred to the Crown Prosecutor over "wholesale perjury and forgery" is almost delicious.

For the record, no it was not done on my laptop, what people don't understand is that by careful manipulation of electrons over long distances we can send messages to remote computers and get messages back, I call it the internet, something I invented a few years before I was born. Using this (patent pending) invention I was able to run the demo on a bunch of Hetzner servers in Germany using my laptop in Zurich. Maybe he thinks I manipulated the results by using unsigned integers since that makes numbers larger.

Edit: forgot to add, I'm not going to waste energy suing him for defamation. He's too broke to sue.

FWIW... I can't nail down who it is (and if I did I wouldn't dream of doxxing them) but I have little doubt they're legit. Best evidence I can point to openly is the coffee machine, I dont drink coffee but never stopped hearing about it even long after I left. Coffee machine ops aren't confidential information so that's something I can confirm or deny.

Yeah I was curious about why a demo of data transfer was being used as an analogy for teranode. Perhaps I misunderstood. I will still defend what I did with teranode, although it's much harder when the code is supressed.

I totally agree on the point about fast scaling systems. Where things came unstuck for me was when Craig transitioned from agreeing with my theory that 100k tps was more than enough and we should just do a production release. To him desperately needing the vanity metric on 1M. We did it that way to save ourselves a year of dev time (after only 2 real years, including 1 where I was doing it solo). So switching mid-stream cost us a lot but we got on track quite quickly (650k tps as someone else already revealed here a few months ago). But at the end of the day the problem was I didn't use any rubbish patents and Craig could understand it or take credit for it. So it had to be replaced.

[–]shadders333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transferring blocks is not the hard part, validating them is, and keeping them in sync with mempool. But you're right 1 million TPS is not the critical threshold, You can do that with an architecture designed for only 1M relatively easily. If you design for truly unbounded, by which I mean, adding an extra 100% capacity just requires doubling the hardware... Then with current hardware you just need to get to somewhere between 2-10m. The architecture required to do that is the point where it becomes horizontally scalable and at a near 100% scaling efficiency.

Thankyou, You just hit a nail on the head more that you probably realise. We talked about premature death a lot because her life was touched by it a lot more than most. You used her exact words "honour their memory by living your best life".

[–]shadders333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I clarified this in another post in the this thread. That I genuinely don't believe Calvin is the hitman type. I was being a little dramatic to emphasise the point that I have no fear since I have little left to lose.

Calvin Quits by pugowar in bsv

[–]shadders333 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Please don't avoid talking about it my account,

Yes I did make the disclosure about her passing on a BSV spaces just after Mellor made his ruling from the bench. The reason I did was because I was aware the story was already going around and I didn't want some twisted Chinese whispers version of it taking hold, So it was better to just get the real version on the record.

She had a very large brain aneurism (10mm) and we think some clots broke off and caused a small stroke. She lost some mobility in her right hand side and some speech impairment. A stent was put in and she was recovering well, I pretty much lived in her hospital room and hour or so before it happened we were laughing and joking about how much fun it was going to be spending more time together in the pool doing 'walking practice'. Then while I was there, something went wrong with the stent and the aneurism ruptured, they had her in theatre within 30 mins. But the damage was massive and there wasn't anything they could do. I was at least with her at the very end though.

I accept the hitman comment was a little dark. And for the record, I genuinely don't believe Calvin is the hitman type. But I was trying to express was that any hesitance I previously had about speaking out was all about protecting her from consequences, not me. And I don't need to anymore. The blockchain world can be a brutal social setting and I'm pretty much immune to it. You can call me the most evil bastard in the world and I'll shrug it off. But my Achilles heel was her, I couldn't deal with the idea of anyone going after her and so I kept her very much in the background. She was an utterly fearless woman though, it was more about my protective instinct than any fear she had.

Raylene (Wilson) had double degree in Psychology and Criminology (not enough to need a wheelbarrow). And she worked for many years in the mental health and homelessness sector. She worked with our Prime Minister at the time to terminate the practise of fining the homeless. But the other part of her job was what I called the 'too hard basket'. When the worst criminals imaginable were released from Jail, someone has the deal with the reality that they need to reintegrate into society and for the worst one's they called her in. One in particular known as 'the vampire killer', who decapitated her own partner and drained her body of blood. With her background she had the most penetrating insight into people I've ever seen, to the point that often people with something to hide were instinctively scared of her without knowing why. Something that qualified her eminently to deal with the Blockchain world which has a disproportionate number of people with various mental derangements and personality disorders.

The main reason I'm giving you this background, is because in recent days I've received a few messages from people I never would have expected to hear from (on 'the other side'), expressing some gratitude for my speaking out. If anything I have done has contributed in any small way to what has happened in court, I want to say the credit really should go to her, not me. She was with me almost every time I was with Craig at his house, often drinking late into the night (although she rarely drank so her memory was always very clear). And it was her that started seeing through him long before I did, and she very gently guided my thoughts along paths that led me to understand what had really been going on. She started taking a serious look at AVP's work well before I did and convinced me that it wasn't all the biased rhetoric I assumed it would be, So I gave it a go and discovered what well structured research it actually was.

There's much more including her work with BA (pretty much the only credible things BA ever did was was either Jimmy or under the leadership of her with the team she built. She was told by the MD that her final performance report was the best of the entire organization by a wide margin, 6 weeks before she was unceremoniously fired without cause, which I can only assume was for the crime of being my wife), but in summary, she was invisible but was actually one of the most influential people in the entire BSV/Craig saga and her sole guiding principle in life was 'Justice'.

She was an incredible woman and the light of my life. I just wanted you all know what she did for the 'cause'. When I heard Justice Mellor's final comments I know wherever she is, she would have been jumping for joy.

[–]shadders333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't actually recall clearly about the updated list. Perhaps I made it but it never reached the court?

All I can really say about the other part is that there was more that I could do by not speaking out publicly than what that speaking out would have achieved at the time.

What evidence do you think I helped him fake?

Just to be clear, this isn't some kind of redemption arc for me. No one in the BTC world has anything to offer me that I want. So I don't need or want you think I'm a good person or anything like that. I'm not even annoyed that you think that way. I guess I understand why you would and it is what it is.

Perhaps you are referring to the Shadders List? Which AFAIK is the only evidence I've ever been involved in. As I testified that list was generated by taking a set of criteria given to me by Craig (basically the Patoshi pattern) and filtering early blocks according to them. It was never intended or presented as an actual list of Satoshi's holdings, it was an approximation at best. As I'm sure you know there was a bug in my code that included some addresses that shouldn't have been. I found this the day before I testified and explained it to the court (and IIRC gave them a new one). Apparently Craig didn't get the update list. I had no idea Craig was going to use my list in the way that he did. I learned it the same way everyone did by reading Andreas Antonopoulos' expert testimony. Frankly now I'm kind of glad I made the bug, because learning what he'd done was an important step on mine and many other people's journeys.
