bitcoin-verde VS group-tokenization

AFAIK Verde has been releasing this for months now. (git).

Fair enugh, there is no formal proposal for consensus rules for UTXO commitments. That would be the next step if continuing from this proposal (as mentioned several times in the doc): https://github.com/softwareverde/bitcoin-verde/blob/development/specification/utxo-fastsync-chip-20210625.md

Verde: https://bitcoinverde.org / https://github.com/SoftwareVerde/bitcoin-verde/releases/tag/v2.2.0 (v2.2.0)

utxo commitments for real scaling

For now, the most obvious answer is to make the node reconsider the block for processing. Unfortunately, that script wasn't added to the latest release, but I've added it to our development branch. You can download it here: https://github.com/softwareverde/bitcoin-verde/blob/development/scripts/rpc/reconsider-block.sh . Despite the script not existing in the latest release, the node does support the RPC call, we only failed to include the convenience script.

Bitcoin Verde 2.1.0 has a feature

I think BCH has potential to bring me way more than x2 x3 BTC can, which is why my BCH bags are bigger and I'm working hard on actually doing something to help move the needle. I expect the gains from BCH to be worth all my time and energy spent on this. BCH is also an instance of Bitcoin, the invention, one that may live up to the P2P potential, but as we have seen in 2017, that's not been enough to claim THE "Bitcoin" title, not as the invention, but a particular implementation of the invention that got the most market cap. Nothing is forever, and success of one doesn't preclude success of the other. If we grow big, the name won't matter. I like cash, and when I say cash I mean Bitcoin Cash :) Anyway, both blockchains are viable, they exist, they are used in one way or another, and compete with all the other blockchains to take the market cap.

I took over Andrew Stone's work and have been working on Group Tokens for about a year now, and then Jason joined in and now we're gonna push this together!

Thanks to everyone who's interacted with me since then I learned A LOT, and had my mind changed many times, in a good way, about what Group needs to be, not whether it's a good idea or not. I like to believe I did my part in opening people's eyes that it IS a great idea, one that will bring a lot of value to BCH, and through this process we've gotten really close to the idea's final shape! That's how the Group CHIP got to v6.0 and is now titled "Unforgeable Groups", because it's all about enabling something more abstract, generic blockchain "primitives" that can let builders create amazing things, at no additional cost to our network, and allow users easy access to those products through easy "P2PKH" tokens, those that can interact with contracts and be moved around as easy and cheap as BCH!

Hey man, thanks! I think we'll end up merging the 2 proposals, here's a first step in that direction: https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/group-tokenization/-/commit/bf37f2db09d0c2e0e0287d70d8741b1d495d2428

Unforgeable Groups CHIP scope

The latest "Group" proposal (v4.2) is more than just "tokenization". It got simpler and more powerful at the same time. It now enables generic BCH output groups that can be used to create persistent Script covenant contracts that can prove their genuineness. This is something that current contracts cannot do, even with the new Introspection opcodes. Group would make it possible because the groupID is a commitment to the whole genesis transaction, but this is not a post about that.

Will you soon shut up about BCH being shit against "superior chains" when I point you to the CHIPs such as Native Introspection Opcodes, Bigger Script Integers which allows better smart contract functionality coming in 2022, and PMv3 and Group Tokens which allow better token and transaction formats that are coming in 2023?

MAJOR UPDATE - 4.0 Unforgeable Groups for Bitcoin Cash

Here's the latest version of the CHIP: https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/group-tokenization/-/blob/6cc8488e145007f2c34b1a5e39368986430dcfdc/CHIP-2021-02_Group_Tokenization_for_Bitcoin_Cash.md
