lies [misattribution by Last of the V8s - ed]

lies? Exactly one of us in this discussion is modifying quotes to misrepresent what the other has said. And it ain't me.

So perhaps you'd like to elucidate at least one specific statement of mine that you believe is a lie? For reference:

So what? So I am just pointing out that use of this completely countermands the entire 'lots of non-mining, fully-validating nodes are useful to the network as a whole' narrative.

I didn't say anything about BCash - neither about Bitcoin Cash, which is what I assume you meant (BCash is an entirely different project based upon zk-snarks).

I have no complaint about Blockstream broadcasting their blockchain via satellite. More power to them. I'm sure some will find it useful.

And I have no unease regarding the trends in regards to the competition of Bitcoin Segwit vs Bitcoin Cash.

Methinks you are lashing out because Bitcoin Cash has not yet cratered, and this prospect is starting to worry you. But that's just armchair analysis by one not specifically trained in psychology.

i don't like quoting your lies.
the bolded part.
while your uncommon use of 'countermand' muddies the waters somewhat, the whole of your statement is purposefully dishonest.
idc about altcoins.

No lies here.
The Blockstream Satellite project is supposed to broadcast the One True Chain, correct?
The Blockstream Satellite project sources this One True Chain from the relay network, correct?
The relay network is a high speed backchannel whose primary purpose is to tie all miners together directly in a low latency network free of hops through non-mining nodes, correct?
You really can't connect these dots?

Although it's great fun and some pr, as it stands I'm not terribly interested in the thing because

45cm Ku Band Satellite Dish (antenna)
PLL LNB (linear polarization) w/ < = 200kHz LO stability
LNB Power Supply
LNB Mounting Bracket
Software Defined Radio interface
Cables, Connectors, and Mounting Hardware
1. Minimum 45cm Satellite Dish (bigger is better)

has to be down only, there is no uplink gear in that BOM

thanks

so we have to trust the chain they beam down? my node can't reject rule-breaking blocks? jbreher would love this

non-starter
