nChain Bitcoin SV Alpha Launches as Bitcoin Cash’s Satoshi Vision Mining Debate Thickens

2018-8-30 18:21

This Wednesday Nchain published the much anticipated Bitcoin SV codebase. The alpha released was done in order to show the code to miners and pool operators. Additionally, a mining pool called ‘SV Pool’ was announced which allows miners to point their hashrate at the SV client.

The company says they expect to distribute a more elegant variant during the first week of September. The current alpha code is based on Bitcoin ABC 17.2 with some variations which include a new soft limit of 32MB, OP_MUL, OP_INVERT, LSHIFT and RSHIFT integration, the limit of 201 opcodes per script has been removed, and the automatic replay protection for November 15, 2018, was dismissed.

As of now, there is not much of a reference in the code towards the 128MB block size increase, which has caused some arguing among the community. But there has been a functional tests addition implemented to the code seven days ago which says, “Add a couple of new functional tests to check for being able to set the block size flags via the bitcoind.conf file and to check if we can actually process 128M blocks.” Many people believe after the initial alpha code release there will be new changes to the code going forward.

Their Github repository says:

“This is an Alpha release, the purpose of which is to provide a preview of the code in response to requests from miners and pool operators,”

In addition to the alpha code release, a mining pool has begun so miners can point their hashrate to the Bitcoin SV client. The website Svpool.net leads to the SV Pool’s registration page which illustrates a circular picture of a Chinese dragon and a welcome message addressed in Chinese as well. A crude interpretation of the website states: “Welcome to SV Pool — We are a brand new public pool, in line with the original Nakamoto vision and Bitcoin SV agreement. Pre-register to get updates — We will release the initial version of the public pool in September and the full version in November.

Our pool is startinghttps://t.co/NczuXNkBMn

Bitcoin Mining Pool Stirs Controversy by Promoting Censoring BTC Transactions

Blockchain analyst firm, BlockSeer has launched a private mining pool, currently, in beta, that will censor certain Bitcoin transactions. Given that the Bitcoin community emphasizes censorship-resistance, an essential feature of cryptocurrency that makes it differentiating from the central bank digital currencies, it’s pretty obvious that the company would come under fire for its move.

To fight the talent shortage, train your current employees

How many people can program a driverless car? How many can program an artificial intelligence? How many can get their head around blockchain (and no, it doesn’t count if you invested €100 in Bitcoin)? And yet, how many times have you read about driverless cars being on the cusp of adoption, or traditional currencies being on the verge of becoming obsolete? The truth is, the pool of individuals who actually know how to build these technologies is very small.

PR: ExCraft Launches DAO, User-Governed Cryptocurrency Exchange

Hong Kong, 10 August 2018 – ExCraft, a cloud-native cryptocurrency exchange based in Hong Kong that implements a DAO governance ran by the users and pools, was launched today.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

‘Miners Are Miners Again’: Bitcoin Core Dev Launches Alternative Mining Protocol

Bitcoin core developer Matt Corallo has launched a mining pool which aims to increase decentralization as Bitcoin mining becomes increasingly monopolized. Corallo: Miners ‘Have No Control’ Beginning June 25 but still with what Corallo describes as “vulnerabilities,” the pool uses BetterHash, a protocol which seeks to offer mining pool users the option to use their own block templates rather than those prescribed by pool owners.
