Sounds like you are trying to obfuscate and rationalize the hijacking of bitcoin.

Facts: 1MB limit on blocks was put in to prevent spam early on with a clear plan to raise it as the network grew, then the project was infused with shady corporate money and they changed the story that 1MB blocks are essential for decentralization which coincidentally provided blockstream (the corporate entity) with a revenue model.

It was a deliberate attempt to cripple bitcoin so it could not compete with the banking system for payments.

You are over-complicating the matter. A temporary limit on the block size was put in early on to prevent the network being spammed since transactions were free at that time. By 2014 there was no such concern anymore and there was no technical reason not to increase this limit. It could have easily been increased to at least 2MB with zero impact on anything. They crafted a new narrative about not being able to run a node on a nintendo so we must stall all progress to accommodate 3 people that want to run a node on a laptop with 515MB of ram.

It was total sabotage.

They were not his changes. The increase of the block size was the plan all along as the 1MB limit was only put in as a temporary anti-spam measure, the plan was derailed by a few devs who had conflicts of interest working for a company that stood to profit from a congested chain by selling off chain solutions. Roger had nothing to do with any technical code changes to bitcoin.

The core devs should have forked bitcoin and started their own coin instead oh hijacking bitcoin with their idiotic ideas that have crippled bitcoin.

Hijacking Bitcoin is an eye-opening book by one of the most prominent Bitcoin entrepreneurs and evangelists, Roger Ver.

Roger gave me permission to use excerpts from the book, and while I originally planned to create a shorter version, the content of the book is so well-structured that as I worked, I kept adding more.

Roger Ver presents a compelling case for how Bitcoin was captured, with its original vision distorted and its disruptive potential diminished.

Hijacking Bitcoin is undoubtetly a valuable read for anyone interested in cryptocurrencies and the underlying technology.

You can find Roger Ver's book on: www.hijackingbitcoin.com/

Thanks for this, did not want to go to Reddit to see what this was about.

The rino people would have been better off just putting up a CSS to implement these features in monero instead of starting a whole business.

MoneroTown is federated so the downvotes are most likely coming from other instances with BTC maxi's who are angry the truth is coming out.

Nice write-up. I could see the captured BTC devs propose proof of stake solutions in the future. BCH is where real bitcoiners have migrated to. BTC is now just full of bag holders and laser eye clowns.

That is why I think BCH will be the go to bridge. Buy BCH on any exchange, run it through some CashFusion rounds to unlink from you then swap for XMR.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I am not offering anything, just sharing information, but yes you can use Monero or Bitcoin Cash if you prefer bitcoin.

 

Please share this with anyone who still thinks the LN is a workable solution. This video will elegantly dismantle any idea that LN is somehow a good solution.

If that is how it works then the best way to use it would be to keep a pool of LTC that went through MW then spend from it. You do not want to MW a specific amount then immediately move that same amount to somewhere. Because the receiving party could possibly determine the origin before the MW pass-through just based on the amount.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

So on the other end you will get fresh coins with no history? How does it actually work?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Looks suspect. Why someone would spend $30k up front to get a foreign passport is weird, should be more like $3k. You can get a foreign wife for 10k, lol.

BCH is a better option IMO, they have CashFusion which is a very advanced coin-join which gives you almost Monero level privacy. https://bchfaq.com/knowledge-base/what-is-cashfusion/

MW on LTC requires the other party to also participate, something which exchanges and most people will never do. I used to use LTC but have found BCH to be a better option with more potential in the future as the community is very active.

Looks like the botnet was mining on the two largest pools.

 
 

If so what is the minimum XMR to get started? If not, how come?
