From the whitepaper; "If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favour him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth." This assumes a purely economic model - what if there is a bad actor th

Are there any limits to pre-selected fields in the Bitcoin protocol that will require a reboot to BitcoinV2 sometime in the future? For instance the UNIX date format takes us to when? Will there be a Y2K for Bitcoin?

I have a question haunting me, can anyone add some light to this? When data uploaded to the blockchain has been previously created via opaque means, what can transparency offer users who find themselves forced to rely on that data?

Kurt Wuckert Jr gives us a recap of the Genesis Anniversary Livestream, which I'd like to add, was a real pleasure to watch - 1:22:40 of hyper good vibes in an "approachable conversation about the technical aspects of the Genesis upgrade and Bitcoin SV" The troll box added to the zest with a further explosion of good vibes, humour, on the ball questions and a long list of sharp comments... oh, trolls included Craig and Shadders who decided to pop in for a chat.

I felt encouraged to move this topic here. HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT AN IDEA TO CREATE A BRAND NEW TRULY "SMART PHONE" AND CELLULAR SERVICE, BUILT UPON THE BSV BLOCKCCHAIN? SEEMS THE PRICE POINT Alone Would Wipe Out All Competitors. And Because He Loves Freedom, Maybe We Could Ask @elonmusk If He Could Take Part In Helping To Design These Truly Smarter New Smartphones For Us. A Phone That Would Hold It's Charge For Days On End!!!!

Bitcoin SV open online courses! "Saxion University expects to launch the first course in early 2021. The MOOCs will follow a progressive curriculum, starting the students off with a Bitcoin Basic Course for decision makers and moving into more technically advanced Bitcoin development courses. They will be free to access for all, and although they will be offered by the Dutch university, the courses will be available globally, on demand, at any time.

What is the use of SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) if one needs confirmation anyway from a node that those UTXOs were not spent yet? Surely no malicious actor would be stupid enough to provide UTXOs with Merkle trees which dont match up. So checking for it only adds unnecessary overhead, especially if such tx is generated by a trusted PayMail host / wallet.

Regarding TonicPOW advertising. Though it's early days, I can see how it would have even wider application if there were also an opportunity for locally focused advertising. I run a small business that's purely locally based. I would like to utilize TonicPOW but it's no point unless I can ensure that ads only appear on locally based websites.

Why are people so keen to get other tokens on BSV? Surely it's better for everyone to use the bsv coin as the means of payment as everyone grows the value of the ecosystem and shares in the value created. If people add tokens then you'll see eth type ico scams stealing value from the bsv coin and exit scamming.
