In July 2021 the @BSVAssociation named one address as "connected with" the reorg attack. On chain, that address is a Gate hot wallet, and it is still running today. Has Gate ever said what it did about it?

Pete Rizzo was right about the radio payment. It is Bitcoin, and it always was!

X402 is now part of the X402 Foundation, as launched by the Linux Foundation, and of which BSVA are a member. What I hope is that the developers on the Coinbase Team who will still be the people who review the PR are just as enthusiastic about Internet payments as we are, and likely haven’t even heard of BSV.

Thank you, and since you are one of the few who will actually enjoy the details, here is what subtree aware means in practice. Teranode announces subtrees ahead of blocks, batches of transaction ids streaming while the block is still being assembled. My bridges listen to that stream, fetch the subtree contents, and mark matching transactions as provisionally seen before any block exists. Proven on mainnet by execution: the announcement carries a data hub URL, the fetch returns the raw txid list, and it reconciles clean against the block when it lands. The part I suspect you will like most is the honesty contract. A subtree sighting is never treated as confirmation. It is a full lifecycle, seen, then provisional, then mined, or retracted if the subtree never makes a block, and every provisional answer carries authoritative false until the block seals it. Early signal without pretending to be truth. Same law as the rest of the stack: no layer answers another layer's question. So when the era changes underneath, the serving layer already speaks the new node's native language, and the wallets on top never notice the transition. That is what the bridge is for. A compatibility layer between node eras. It runs on a canary today and the fleet roll is next. It is the part of the stack I have been quietest about, and it is the answer to where all this goes when Teranode is the base layer. And I enjoyed today, for what it is worth. Same as the times we have talked multicast and delivery before, you push on every claim and my answers come out sharper for it. Always a pleasure, and I mean that.

Teranode's docs are genuinely excellent. Architecture overviews. Service deep dives. API references. Deployment guides. Real technical documentation, not marketing. bsv-blockchain.github.io/ter… #Teranode #BSV

Good news for BSV! Analyst @JoeyZhuo777 has just published a very strong thesis on AI mass storage — and it has real implications for the future of scalable data solutions. In the era of agentic AI (agentic inference), the biggest bottleneck is no longer just GPU power. The real problem is the long-term memory of agents: Long conversation threads lasting weeks/months. Tool call history from several weeks ago. Intermediate reasoning steps between sessions. DRAM is too expensive at this scale, and traditional SSDs are too slow. A completely new memory tier is emerging — “warm storage” (warm/near-compute storage) — sitting between ultra-expensive HBM and slow hard drives. Sandisk + Kioxia have just started sampling BiCS10 (10th generation TLC NAND): +59% bit density (332 layers in the same physical size) +33% interface speed (4.8 Gb/s) +30% better power efficiency The previous generation already delivered +233% sequential growth in data center revenue quarter-over-quarter. They are also strongly ramping up QLC for massive capacity. Most importantly: the shift to New Business Models — long-term contracts with hyperscalers (Micron already has over $100 billion in backlog for 5 years). This structurally breaks the old cyclical pattern in the memory industry. Kioxia publicly states they will increase production capacity because they see structural, not cyclical, growth in AI demand. The $SNDK stock pulled back -15% with the sector. It is trading at ~26x forward earnings with +83% year-over-year revenue growth. Analysts see upside potential to ~$2,200 (+27% from the July 8 close). This is not another hype cycle. It is a real rebuild of data center architecture for agentic AI — an entirely new “context store” segment is emerging that barely existed two years ago. Why is this good news for BSV? Because demand for scalable, cheap, and reliable storage and processing of huge amounts of data is exploding. BSV was built from the beginning exactly for this scenario: unlimited block size, microscopic fees, real enterprise-level scalability, and a true data economy. On-chain data, asset tokenization, long-term memory, and AI applications — all of this requires exactly what BSV has been delivering for years. The market is finally starting to understand that data is not just “cold storage.” We need warm, fast, scalable access to context — and on a massive scale. It’s time for data on the blockchain. Real data. On BSV. How much can companies save? BSV (Bitcoin SV) can significantly reduce the costs of storing and processing data in the context of AI — especially for the “warm memory” (warm storage / context store) described in the $SNDK post. Current cloud costs (e.g. AWS S3, 2026) S3 Standard (frequent access): ~$0.023 per GB per month (first 50 TB) → about $23 per 1 TB per month. Cooler tiers (Infrequent/Glacier): $0.004–$0.0125 per GB per month. Additional costs: GET/PUT requests, egress (downloading data), cross-region transfers, and monitoring — these can easily double the bill with active usage (AI agents frequently read context).With millions of GB of AI context (long sessions, tool history, reasoning steps), the bill grows quickly — especially with replication, backups, and access fees. BSV was designed for unbounded scaling (Teranode, large blocks). Key advantages:Transaction fees: a fraction of a cent — often < $0.001 per transaction (even as low as $0.0000006), regardless of the amount transferred. At higher scale, fees decrease further (more transactions per block spread the costs). On-chain data (files, context, metadata) — you pay once for writing (upload), after which the data is immutable, decentralized, and globally accessible without monthly storage fees. Throughput: thousands to tens of thousands of tx/s (targeting millions), with low latency on appropriate infrastructure. Savings comparison: Writing 1 GB of data on BSV: costs on the order of a few to several dozen cents (depending on current BSV price and transaction size) — one-time. On S3: $23 per month + access costs. For long-term storage (several months+): BSV wins decisively — no recurring fees. With 1 TB of context after one year, savings can reach hundreds to thousands of USD on storage alone (not counting egress and operations). For AI agents: no traditional “retrieval” fees (data is public on the chain), cryptographic verifiability (lower trust/audit costs), and the possibility of micropayments for access. Examples from the BSV ecosystem: Applications storing data on-chain claim that at scale they become cheaper than AWS thanks to the lack of intermediaries and economies of scale. Teranode + Aerospike demonstrate that BSV can handle billions of transactions per day at a very low cost per transaction. Potential savings in practice (for AI data): Short term (monthly context): 5–20x cheaper with frequent writes/reads thanks to micro-fees. Long term (context archives, RAG, long-term agent memory): 50–100x cheaper — because the cloud charges every month, while BSV charges once. Overall for a large AI project: Savings of tens to hundreds of percent on data infrastructure bills + hard-to-measure benefits (data sovereignty, no vendor lock-in, full auditability). Limitations: BSV is better suited for data that should be immutable and publicly verifiable. For ultra-fast, private access, a hybrid approach (on-chain metadata + off-chain storage) is often optimal. Costs depend on the BSV price and optimization (larger transactions are more efficient). Current adoption: still developing, but technically ready for enterprise scale. In summary — in the scenario described in the Sandisk post (AI context, warm storage, massive data volumes), BSV can reduce costs by several hundred times compared to traditional cloud solutions, especially with long-term usage and high frequency" #BSV #BitcoinSV #AI #DataStorage #AgenticAI @elonmusk @CsTominaga

You people really thought BlackRock and the others came in because they believed. Adorable. They came in because BTC finally gave them a clean machine for making money from your conviction. On the way up, they sell you access, collect fees, harvest flow, and let the faithful applaud “institutional adoption” like children clapping at a puppet show. On the way down, the game becomes far more interesting. Because this is not your little retail HODL circle anymore. This is the big boys’ table. They hedge. They short. They arbitrage. They use derivatives. They use structure. They do not care about your orange prophecy, your laser eyes, your sacred halving calendar, or your belief that suffering is investment strategy. They care about return. And in a thin, illiquid market dressed up with a trillion-dollar market-cap costume, a few hundred thousand BTC can become a weapon. You think institutions came to save you. No. You opened the front door and invited in the beast. The ETF wrapper lets them monetise the flows. It lets them profit from inflows while the story rises. But once the story breaks, the same machinery becomes a liquidation engine. Redemptions force selling. Falling prices create more fear. More fear creates more redemptions. The market thins. The bids retreat. Then the professionals do what professionals do. They make money from the direction that pays. If that direction is down, they will not weep into a cold wallet and whisper “diamond hands.” They will press. They will hedge long exposure with shorts. They will profit from volatility. They will force weak hands out. They will make the retail faithful beg for a bounce and then sell into the bounce. That is not conspiracy. That is markets. The funniest part is that the BTC crowd spent years screaming for institutional adoption, as though Wall Street were a rescue dog. Wall Street is not a rescue dog. Wall Street is a butcher with a calculator. You handed it a market full of overleveraged believers, thin liquidity, reflexive flows, and a religious refusal to understand risk. Now you are shocked that the knife came out. Welcome to the thing you begged for.

The largeblockers ended up being correct about LN Arguably, they were premature But credit where credit is due -- lightning does not help BTC scale -- and the LN propaganda used to prop it up is pure fraud (and that fraud has destroyed the integrity of the wider BTC community)

It is illegal in America for a stablecoin to pay you interest. The issuer takes your dollars, earns the yield, and a 2025 law bars it from passing you a cent. So on June 30th, 140 of the largest companies on earth announced a coin built to capture that yield for themselves. Start with the prize. A stablecoin is a dollar you swap for a token. The issuer parks your dollar in Treasury bills at 4 to 5 percent and keeps the interest. Tether did this so well it cleared about 13 billion dollars in 2024, one of the highest profits per employee in business history, and now holds roughly 141 billion in US Treasuries, the 17th largest holder of US government debt on earth. It charges no fees and pays holders nothing. The float is not part of the business. It is the business. The part that rewrites the story is the law itself. The GENIUS Act, signed July 2025, makes it unlawful for a stablecoin issuer to pay interest to the people holding the coin. But it binds only the issuer. Route the same yield to a partner or an exchange, and the statute goes silent. That gap is the entire design of Open USD. It mints and redeems free and sends the reserve income to the 140 partners who drive adoption, names like Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Coinbase and American Express. Not to you. You are barred from earning it by law. They are not. So this is not democratizing the float. It is the loophole, industrialized. These same firms are already inside the old game. BlackRock manages Circle's reserves. Coinbase already collects a slice of Circle's interest that grows with how much of its stablecoin sits on Coinbase. They are not disrupting the incumbents. They are scaling the trick and keeping the yield among themselves. None of this touches Tether yet. It sits offshore, beyond GENIUS, with 570 million users and an emerging-market moat no US consortium reaches, and it is launching a compliant US coin of its own. Open USD is a day old, not live, and it is plumbing, not a token to buy. Anyone selling you "OUSD" today is selling a scam. But strip the press release and the structure is bare. A law decided you cannot earn the interest on your own dollars. The biggest firms in finance just built the machine to earn it instead.

There's only one that has had peer review on its ability to scale to the size necessary for any of this to work. The review came from Amazon's AWS division, and I'm the President of one of the companies that runs a Teranode. aws.amazon.com/blogs/web3/ho…

Simple version -- original bitcoin scaled to potentially billions of TPS. BSV is technically relevant to my work as a large-scale public timestamping, micropayment, and data-integrity system built around the original UTXO model, Merkle proofs, script validation, and simplified payment verification. The important point is not speculative token economics, but the engineering structure: transactions form a directed acyclic dependency graph, are committed into Merkle trees, and are ordered through proof-of-work blocks. That creates a public evidentiary ledger in which data commitments, payments, contractual conditions, and audit trails can be bound to a single time-ordered transaction history.

@grok, if this is real, what would the billionaires, platforms, corporations, governments, and entrenched interests who profit from the current information economy have done to stop it if they had been able to stop it before release? What would those who make money from copying, indexing, enclosing, licensing, surveilling, restricting, and monetising other people’s information do when faced with a system that gives creators and owners direct control over digital possession? What would they do when the code is public, free, forkable, and no longer dependent on permission from them? Just how far would they go? What limits?

Call me a fraud if you wish. Call me a liar. Call me delusional. Call me whatever makes you feel comfortable. The interesting thing is that none of those words matter once the code exists. For years, many people have focused on stopping me, discrediting me, attacking me, censoring me, misrepresenting me, and preventing anything I was working on from ever seeing the light of day. At one stage that may have worked. At one stage much of this existed only in my head, in notebooks, in designs, in unfinished code, in prototypes, in ideas that had not yet become reality. Ideas can be delayed. Ideas can be suppressed. Ideas can be ridiculed. What becomes much harder to stop is a working system. This month the code goes public. Not a promise. Not a roadmap. Not a marketing presentation. Code. Working systems. Architectures. Protocols. Implementations. People will be free to inspect it, analyse it, criticise it, improve it, fork it, extend it, or ignore it. That choice will belong to them. The thing that many people seem unable to understand is that I am not asking anyone for money. I am not selling access. I am not selling licences. I am not selling permission. I am not creating a gatekeeper. I am releasing it. Free. The irony is that this is the part many people will find hardest to believe. Not the cryptography. Not the distributed threshold systems. Not the digital possession model. Not the ability to create truly scarce digital goods. The hardest thing for many people to understand is that after spending years building it, I am simply giving it away. And that is why it is already too late to stop. A secret can be suppressed. An unpublished idea can be buried. A prototype can be hidden. A public implementation cannot be uninvented. Once the code exists in the open, it belongs to history. From that point onward, the question is no longer whether it can be stopped. The question becomes what the world chooses to build with it.

That’s exactly the point. This isn’t a payment widget bolted onto an API. It moves settlement into the HTTP layer itself. No accounts. No API keys. Payment becomes authorisation.
