I'm open for discussions but so far I had not hear anything interesting just the usual Blockstream is good thing.

Taproot is exactly like Segwit dividing the Bitcoin community. Doing more harm than good.

I personally strongly favor ed25519 over Schnorr. With ed25519 the nonce is generated deterministically and prevents nonce re-use.

Edward Snowden isn't in favor of taproot wonder why... 

Saying this who started that fire there...

Are you a Bitcoin miner? You have 70 EXAHASH? Let me guess the answer: NO.

I'm talking here about pure coincidence that signaling started not even a month ago exactly when due to uncertainty Bitcoin mining hashrate dropped 70 EXAHASH.

That much hashing power would make your fictional mining pool the top 1 in the world.

The ignorance and arrogance of some people here is mindblowing.

I don't think so, the whole taproot signaling coincide with miner issues in China is a huge problem! Signaling on taproot under this conditions are close to impossible.

https://cryptowatchdaily.com/blog/2021/05/23/after-the-china-mining-ban-bitcoin-hashrate-goes-freefall/

I consider a serious threat to Bitcoin's independence to rely on United States based corporations while in reality is that Bitcoin mining in China always was the thing, pushing for taproot and celebrate crackdown on miners the same time is absurd.

At least show some solidarity with those miners and stop signaling for taproot. the disturbance in China caused Bitcoin Hashrate to drop from 185 to 124 exahashes per second.  That is more than 60 exahash loss in days!

It would be immoral to continue with signaling for taproot.

The point is there is a so called Bitcoin Developer Fund, literally used to finance massacres is created by HRF.org. "to fund bitcoin development". Isn't Bitcoin supposedly peer-to-peer? It is necessary an intermediary like HRF? What is it a bank or something?

Come on, you can't be serious? Here the Big Bitcoin Core developers attacking me when I explain that HRF.org Thor Halvorssen Mendoza are literally terrorists. I linked above two video showing massacres commited by HRF.

Who the fuck is Alex Gladstein? @gladstein on Twitter? He is the "Strategy Officer" of HRF.org

The guy in the red shirt on this photo:
https://www.reddit.com/r/HRF/comments/ixlavk/alex_gladstein_and_thor_halvorssen_mendoza_in/

nor him nor hrf had anything to do with Bitcoin until I come up with my project which was for years attacked by thow maniac from Oakland (Gladstein's home), and Los Angeles and Miami (luxury properties for the CEO).

How dare Bitcoin Core developers, or for that matter any developer to accept or advocate for such "Bitcoin Development Fund" is is purely an intermediary used not only to launder money but to massacre people, overthrow and advocate for bombing foreign nations.

hrf given money to a bunch of developers including Core developers to market itself, but if you come down to earth and do one single Google search you would know who this guys are.

they given money to belcher too who immediately deleted our organization from Bitcoin Wiki days after, when I contested the removal of the link Chris Belcher simply deleted the entire page;

Donation-accepting organizations and projects
https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects&oldid=67926


belcher deleted WikiLeaks, UNICEF, Human Rights Foundation (was there for 5 years)), Snowden Defense Fund, Water project, Tor Project, Free Software Foundation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, every single organization labeled as scam while I personally maintained that page, verified all organizations there as well.

https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects&diff=66986&oldid=66928

Than look what he said to me on the talk page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Talk:Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects#Page_is_filled_with_scam he got 50,000 from indigenous killers to delete my link from the Bitcoin Wiki.

Seriously, I think Bitcoin Core developers should have some minimum standards regarding funding, getting thousands or millions from those advocating for bombing, massacring people and overthrowing foreign governments should be avoided.

Looking the other way don't make this problem disappear.

In fact blecher forked from gmaxwell and now he markets itself as a "Bitcoin Developer" who has op in #bitcoin on freenode.
How is this? What the fuck is going on here?

So tell me once again, why the hell would anyone want under this conditions the Blockstream dreamed taproot? To make sure that HRF "Bitcoin Development Fund" has enough money to overthrow Maduro in Venezuela? Is this the role of HRF and belcher in Bitcoin development?

My friends, this guys are even tried a Reverse Domain Name Hijacking with fraudulent trademark registered far after my domains registered. By the way the United States Patent and Trademark Office sided with me and required the so called HRF to disclaim exclusive rights to use "human rights foundation" in commerce.

If a US Government Branch agrees with me than you should take a seat and read it again.

Worldwide there is more than 20 "human rights foundation" from New Zealand to Australia, there is 10 different "human rights foundation" in the United States alone!

You know why only attacking me? Because they working with the CIA and the U.S. Department of State
Not everyone can meet Mike Pompeo in the DoS HQ in Washington D.C. like Thor Halvorssen Mendoza did in February 21, 2020.

The meeting between Mike Pompeo and Thor Halvorssen Mendoza and even Kenneth Roth from Human Rights Watch was a secret event at the State Department building.

There is a lawsuit filled by Democracy Forward, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE), the Council for Global Equality, and Global Justice Center sued the the State Department:

Human Rights Orgs Sue Sec. Pompeo for Unlawful Commission Designed to Redefine Human Rights, Undercut Universal Protections for Women, LGBTQI Individuals and Others
https://democracyforward.org/press/human-rights-orgs-sue-sec-pompeo/

In the lawsuit itself Thor Halvorssen also mentioned who is the boss of Alex Gladstein who is now become the best buddy of midnightmagic.

Is this clear?

I like everyone who don't have any connection to money or promotion of those who responsible for massacres and bombing and apparently REAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS from the United States siding with me.


 

I'm sorry bro but we all seen in the past 30 years how American influence looks like. I consider every single American citizen a threat to humanity and so to the Bitcoin Core.

People have to be vetted, they connections checked twice a year to keep working on Bitcoin Core. To advocate for the interest of any USA based for-profit corporation is unacceptable, gmaxwell said it himself, taproot originates from Blockstream and so it is a threat which must be mitigated.

You don't have a braincell all destroyed by looking over massacres and international terrorism which resulted countless deaths by your sweet "HRF" which by the way a year ago founded the "Bitcoin Development Fund". Be careful buddy, the Human Rights people coming and eating you alive, they was in the past 10x years pretended to be superheroes of human rights (while in reality the United Nations called "HRF" a terrorist organization and refused to accept application for consultative status. https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08USUNNEWYORK516_a.html)... now the HRF guys since they failed to bully me with fraudulent federal trademark going after Bitcoin donations while the fucking "organization" received 12 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOR PROPAGANDA.

You don't see any article about Palestine, nor they criticize the United Nations but they do doxxing me publicly and calling me a terrorist while I did not massacred anybody like they did in Bolivia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYX7koMKkPY

..and specially I don't advocate for bombing entire countries like midnightmagic's buddy Alex Gladstein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhhyNm5rhHc

mr. strategy officer from HRF up until 2018 December did not even talked about Bitcoin, nor HRF accepted Bitcoin up until 2019 March, but they needed to attack me and my organization so they created a page to scam for Bitcoin. and I'm upset? Oh fuck yeah, this motherfuckers sending me harassment since 2015!

You know that you can't have transfer bank to bank between the USA and Venezuela? Well, HRF CEO Thor Halvorssen Mendoza have a cousin Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza who is a well known fascist involved in various shootings, and from New York to transfer money to his cousin they used Bitcoin.

Juan Guaido declared himself president of Venezuela and made HRF.org CEO's cousin Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza a Minister. Quiet a scam if you ask me.

They failed with regime change in Venezuela and immediately turned to Hong Kong where they failed too, than they turned they attention to Bolivia and massacred a bunch of people. Yes, HRF did massacred people in Bolivia and even sent a delegation to congratulate to the self declared president of Bolivia who now sitting in jail for terrorism and crimes against humanity.

Bitcoin Development Fund from HRF.org huh? Fuck yeah, we massacre people and we need Bitcoin because 12 million dollars for regime change can be easily traced, we need Bitcoin for regime change and terrorism. Oh yeah.

Foundry USA is just another name in the Digital Currency Group's "portfolio" they own it just like they own Blockstream and Grayscale.


If you into this taproot thing and you really want to merge it why the hell you not forking Bitcoin and distributing your version? What prevents you from forking Bitcoin? Egoism that you are a contributor to "Bitcoin Core"? Is that why you don't wanna fork it?

If you don't like Bitcoin how it is maybe is time for you to simply stop using it!

Oh boy, maybe start mining for Bitcoin with Google's quantum computers... they can mine all remaining Bitcoin in just 2 seconds.
Dream, oh sweet dream...

Blockstream is owned by the Digital Currency Group like they own Grayscale, Foundry USA and a bunch of other fascist American corporations from Texas and California.


Exactly. Tell me how many people support it? I'm involved in Bitcoin since 2012 and until 2021 I did not even hear about "taproot".


Are you sure?


Oh, so now telling me taproot did originate at Blockstream? What companies the "people involved" works at the moment? I want to see a full list and all companies disclosed.


You working on Bitcoin Core voluntary like Satoshi Nakamoto did, if you only interested in money before the community I suggest you go and fuckyourself.

Maybe suck up to the "Human Rights Foundation" scam from New York City which run by Thor Halvorssen Mendoza the cousin of Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza. He and Alex Gladstein the "STARTEGY OFFICER" literal neo-nazi propagandist terrorists who responsible for burning people alive in Caracas, Venezuela and massacres of indigenous people in Bolivia. Ask you buddy midnightmagic how great to have a Washington D.C. registered corporation which massacres people scamming for Bitcoin since 2019.



For those who don't know, I'm the owner of the "Bitcoin Forum" at https://bitcoin.forum and all this conversation is recorded to show how Bitcoin Core developers working with literal terrorists and to show that the majority if not all Bitcoin Core developers are Sinophobic, Russophibic, Islamophobic pigs based in the United States of America.

The new mantra is: China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus and if you don't agree we will bomb your entire country kill all your family massacre all your community and bring you democracy with Blockstreams of blood.
 

Yes I do realize and I know well that the recent developments in China should result in the suspension of any signaling period! gmaxwell knows this that signaling under this conditions is unacceptable.


I tell y'all something and try to be short.

Foundry USA was the fastest pool to signal taproot. Foundry USA owned by the Digital Currency Group which also the owner of Blockstream and currently employs achow101 and gmaxwell was a former employee.
But before the signaling period they did know that China will soon announce this crackdown on Miners, they know it so they prepared and with Foundry USA they working now to move Chinese miners into U.S. jurisdiction and on that way implements a "soft-fork" which seems like a horse with a "hard-dick" behind your back waiting you to signal with a green hole.

Don't come here and tell me that gmaxwell and achow101 don't know nothing about the Foundry USA, Blockstream and Digital Currency Group BS, they also own Grayscale which buying Bitcoin like a fucking maniac, there is no other reason behind taproot, Grayscale, Foundry USA, DCG, and Blockstream but DOMINANCE.

Taproot is a product of Blockstream and I bet that gmaxwell has an unfulfilled contract with the Digital Currency Group to implement taproot. It is contractual so it must be done. Is that right?

The majority of Bitcoin miners located in China and because they have trouble now, there is double celebration from the United States, they celebrating that Chinese miners shutting down and so the remaining western miners can push for taproot.

It is absurd to see miners with over 20% of the total Bitcoin hash-rate shutting down in the middle of a voting which will dramatically change Bitcoin.

TAPROOT SIGNALING SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY SUSPENDED UNTIL WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR VIEW ON THE FUTURE OF CHINESE MINERS!

"for the past 24 hours the number is close to 95% as that tweet says so it is safe to make the conclusion that in the next signalling period it remains the same and gets locked in"

Absolutely bullshit. Seriously. Miners in China are shutting down so western miners can enforce the taproot lock-in. Who gives a shit what happened in the past 24 hours?

You need in one period 2016 blocks to signal. Excuse me but you can't just run this periods over and over until everyone signals taproot. It is absurd and undemocratic.

Like saying, I will push for extermination of Jews and to do that I need to get 2016 votes in any two week period in the next 6 months. We had already two 2 week period and none of them locked-in. Repeating this periods over and over is absurd.

Taproot is a fraud, it has no any privacy value, even worse according to Edward Snowden who worked for the CIA and NSA taproot actually makes Bitcoin privacy worse.

It is gmaxwell and achow101 who spreading fake news regarding taproot lock-in when the second signaling period is not even ended and clearly isn't locked in.

I request immediately gmaxwell and achow101 to address the following concerns regarding taproot:

Citizens of the United States of America pushing very hard for taproot, they go far as straight lying: https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1396888227538145294

Neither this period nor the previous period reached 90% but in the USA everyone is celebrating the taproot lock-in.

Why I have that feeling that Bitcoin price is plummeted not because of Elon Musk, but because of Taproot.

People in the USA celebrating also that in China miners having a bad time, so how the hell they can celebrate taproot lock-in when those who signals the majority are Chinese miners.

I don't even wanna mention Foundry USA and Blockstream.

 

I'm claiming today that 700 BTC which is stored in the cold wallet of theymos.

Theymos announced in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50617.0 in which he "Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC]".

I doubt that theymos still has that much Bitcoin so I claim all of the 700 BTC stored in his cold wallet.

I'm ready to help archive bitcointalk.org, import the entire database to the new software and provide a new domain for the forum.
