2022-03-29 01:36:46 Congress quietly introduced an ECASH Act today. "Electronic Currency And Secure Hardware Act." It allows 1984 levels of control on digital cash, as well as stripping the FED's power to print $$ & gives it to the White House.

2022-03-24 21:19:26 1/ Here is a video update on #DigiByte v8.22.0 as well an overview of the added complexities of core #blockchain protocol development. Short summary, we are working on it, this is most comprehensive upgrade ever for $DGB & we have ran into unforeseen bugs.



2/ When #Bitcoin first started it had 3,000 lines of code in 4 files. Currently $BTC core code has over 620,000 lines of code & DigiByte has over 700,000. In comparison the core Linux Kernel has only 63,000 lines of code. There is a massive amount of changes to review in 8.22.

3/ So far the DGB 8.22.0 upgrade has added +281,194 lines of code & removed −92,818 lines of code removed. This massive update to roughly half the DGB code base has led to some elusive bugs we are working through which has taken more time than expected.

4/ The main issue we have now is with Dandelion. There was a ton of mempool rework done between BTC v0.17 (our 7.17.3 base) & latest BTC v22. Effectively a completely rewrite of dandelion is needed to be compatible with DGB v 8.22.0 & BTC v22. This has caused some very...

5/ hard to track down random crash bugs that are a serious problem for sending & receiving stem pool dandelion transactions in 8.22. This complexity is the same reason BTC devs abandoned adding dandelion to v22 & v0.21. Here is the current crash bug:

6/ The next big changes are a completed set of tests which we have never fully had in a DGB core client.
@YoshiJaeger
has been doing a great job rounding these out, but these are very time consuming. This is an extremely under appreciated part of releasing a stable DGB client.

7/ All in all in it is important to remember all devs are volunteers & all of us are working on other stuff to pay the bills & most of our day gigs are actual use cases built on top of DGB that will further benefit DigiByte in the long run. Many good things on the horizon.

8/ I know there is some frustration where some say nothing is happening but that's simply not true. DGB is in a stronger development position than it ever has been before. Despite what some say, I do not control the development of DGB, any code changes require multiple reviews.

9/ I want to thank everyone for supporting DGB & to further reinforce I truly believe DigiByte's best days lay ahead. I encourage everyone to get involved and help however they see fit. Thank you all! Open / Comment

2022-03-19 21:21:53 The global elites want to use the energy crisis they created to: lower speed limits, ban you from driving on Sundays, force you into $$$ EV's they can control remotely & keep you from flying "non essentially."

2022-03-19 04:38:44 8/ I hereby lay claim to coining the term "Big Crypto." Pun intended. Open / Comment

2022-03-19 04:30:51 1/7 #Ethereum 2.0 is nothing more than the final step in creation of "Big Crypto" running on Big Tech's infrastructure all owned by Big Bank's. $ETH 2.0 incentivizes users to hand over private keys to centralized exchanges to stake for them. Here is why: https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/ethereum-20-merge-imminent-after-successful-test-will-lay-rest-energy-concerns

2/7 In order to stake $ETH & run your own validator you need to stake 32 ETH. Thats roughly $95,296 as of this writing. How many people can afford that? Or, you can join a shared staking service, which all big exchanges offer, so you can send them any amount to stake for you.

3/7 ETH 2.0 Beacon Chain is already showing mass centralization of 300,000+ supposed independent validators mostly run now by big exchanges. That "other 68%" mostly consists of Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex & other exchanges, all conveniently left unnamed. https://beaconcha.in/charts/deposits_distribution

4/7 Once ETH 2.0 chain is merged with 1.0 not only will US Gov. be able to call up AWS or Google & shut down ETH anytime they want as an overwhelming majority of these validators run in the cloud on big tech infrastructure, so will natural disasters/wars. https://twitter.com/superphiz/status/1495397371466944523?s=20&t=T9ZhWb-2Lk9J6dA2zHcT5g

5/7 Even better, as a validator not only is there no way to get your ETH back until 2.0 is fully rolled out (if at all) but if your validator goes offline, you get punished. War starts? Power outage? Natural disaster? Server maintenance? = Get Slashed. https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/overview

6/7 So with all the risk & up front cost, why not just let a centralized exchange running on AWS do it for you? Never mind the big banks who have made investments & now own most if not all the infrastructure that make all of this centralization possible. https://protos.com/consensys-lawsuit-jpmorgan-owns-critical-ethereum-infrastructure/
7/7 I am not saying the monetary incentives here won't work, & ETH 2.0 can't work to make more insiders rich, it will, for awhile, till true decentralization wins out. ETH was heavily premined & has been run like a Silicon Valley VC / Wall Street insiders cash cow since day one. Open / Comment
