I wish to demonstrate a physical network topology capable of distributing 1 billion BSV transactions per second, and generate the data to prove it, shared publicly. This is without transaction validation, at first. Teranode will catch up in time. @1BSVNET will be ready for it.
At 100 Gbit we're talking about 60 million+ TPS per link, and with the design you can shard/stack links. I aim to broach the 100 million TPS mark long before Teranode gets there, but when they do, the network will be ready. The design allows for this type of capacity planning.

Step back from your view of server infrastructure. Every static IP address on the Internet is an interception and correlation point to a state-level actor, like many TLAs (Three Letter Agencies). P2P is the privacy-enhancing solution but it won't come from Client/Server patterns.
Replying to @InvestWithDiego
The wallet server becomes an attack vector, and a packet interception and traffic analysis point. It's a privacy-decreasing solution. All Client/Server patterns are. True public P2P is privacy-enhancing, but it requires scale, and the right architectural patterns, to express it.

There aren't enough servers. It's too easy of a data problem to solve. The solution is to leverage wide addressing via expansive solutions such as IPv6, combined with true point to point communication, using private, but accountable protocols and methods to reach each other.

The Wallet Server clique is almost as cringe as the Full Node clique. They seem to be nearly cut from the same cloth too. That is just how I see it given the hill some people have chosen to die on.

Whether or not you can trust a two-week difficulty function adjustment, vs a daily-adjustment, is simply a narrative you either choose to believe in or not. Ask yourself this: Has BSV stopped working since Block #556,766, on November 15, 2018? How is the software running today?

Also, choose your camp wisely. The Universe has a way of delivering exactly what you put your time and effort into, and you may or may not like what you receive.
It seems like there's two camps in blockchain/BSV. 1) Those who want someone else to make them wealth. 2) Those who want to build and create wealth (value). Pick a camp. Hint: You don't have to be a developer for either of them.

Weak people are led by other people's projected narratives. Strong people create their own narratives, and live them fully, with no need for others to share their beliefs.

Server / Client, not Client / Server. They work for us. We don't give them power. That power is ours. This exists at a fundamental level, as well as expressed through layered multicast Internet architecture aligned with and built on BSV Blockchain.
Replying to @mohrt
Yes, definitely. And in time I hope to demonstrate how the BSV small world global architecture inverts the unicast client/server paradigm that HTTP placed in the laps of Internet systems engineers. By unleashing competition through smart network distribution, all users win.

Thank you, Calvin. Nearly a decade of backing, from proving public blockchains can scale to institutional level with Teranode, through to the restoration of the original Bitcoin protocol with the Chronicle upgrade. We won鈥檛 let you down. Full pace ahead.

Replacing established cryptography with more computationally and materially demanding post-quantum algorithms may increase the cost of independent cryptographic operation, potentially creating economic incentives for reliance on third-party infrastructure and undermining individual control.

This is an interesting development! Calvin is arguably the most important figure in the Bitcoin Civil War. Few men have been so steadfast, and nobody put more of their personal capital and money into making sure the people who hijacked bitcoin were given serious resistance! Not enough people understand the nefarious influence of Thiel, Hoffman, Epstein and other financial titans who tried to enslave bitcoin, and just how much maneuvering it took to keep the remnant safe for long enough for it to get on its own feet. Calvin deserves to be remembered nobly for standing against the forces of control in the history of Bitcoin.
This is the moment to renew my commitment to my vision: to empower human progress by building a better connected and prosperous world for all. I remain confident that Emerging Technologies are the engine that will power a more inclusive future where data, value and opportunity move freely. That is why I have donated my BSV to BSV Association to help further their mission, and have announced the creation of the Ayre Think Tank to drive my vision forward. We are moving from belief to execution by backing the ideas, companies and people who can build a better world for all.

Calvin - you've overseen the preservation of the original Bitcoin protocol fully restored in April of this year, and you've helped show the world that this protocol can scale globally to the world. As someone who just wanted to see this network scale, I am so thankful for all you've done for the BSV ecosystem. For years, the people who backed the original design kept building while the rest of the industry went another way. Teranode and the builders now producing amazing new solutions on BSV are what that patience produced. I am so proud of the work being done at BSV Association, and I am deeply grateful for your trust in our mission and the work ahead.

I don鈥檛 post on X often, but when I do, it鈥檚 for something worth it. Congratulations on the launch of the Ayre Think Tank, @CalvinAyre! With my background in education, empowering young people is very close to my heart. At BSV Association we鈥檝e been able to bring education and emerging technologies together, and it鈥檚 great to see your new Think Tank focusing on something similar with AI. Thank you for your trust, generosity and support! We鈥檒l keep building, educating and advocating, and show what BSV blockchain can do for the world!

Some things are worth building even when almost nobody is watching. Teranode was one of them. The original vision was never complicated: peer-to-peer electronic cash that scales on-chain, for everyone. It just needed the engineering to catch up, and the community pulling in the same direction. We鈥檙e getting there on both. It took years. For a long time, the only thing keeping it moving was belief. Now it runs on code. Last week it handled a 2.8 billion transaction block in testing. Most of the core work is done. Grateful to everyone who kept believing along the way, especially those who鈥檝e been here since the whitepaper. The engine is ready. The rest belongs to the builders. Here we go.

Huge respect. The vast majority of what I get to build today exists because someone believed in it early. The best way I know to say thank you - is to keep shipping things people actually want to use. Back to it 馃

BSV Association now has a BSV warchest. It's going to be better to stop calling them names and better to start paying attention to what is coming. Scale.
