#TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie is the original powered by a superstar. A 100 minute sugar rush, with fan service galore, that starts at 90mph and barely stops for breath. Largely the same issues with the first movie remain, but fans will be delighted. Full review Tuesday.

BTC may have won the price battle, but $BSV will win the war.

@ExpressBSV The tech always wins in the end. BSV is the quiet giant just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to its speed. See you at the top.

[Token Slayer @TokenSlayerX]

The era of begging banks for permission is over. We’re moving toward a world of direct micropayments and real ownership on BSV, and honestly? It’s about time the internet started working for us instead of against us. #BSV

The future will be powered by Real World Assets. Hard money. Sovereign identity. Private exchange. Direct micropayments.

And a more fair Internet.

Which BSV milestone are you most hyped for? #Chronicle #Teranode #BSV

[Babbage | BRC100 @ProjectBabbage]

Can we put BSV on this list?

[Token Slayer @TokenSlayerX]

@kurtwuckertjr We don't need a perfect settlement layer for elites; we need a scalable system for everyone. That’s why BSV wins the long game.

[Token Slayer @TokenSlayerX]

The protocol is back. No more what ifs or artificial limits. April 7th is a massive line in the sand for BSV. Chronicle gives us the original toolkit, and now it’s up to the builders to show the world why that matters. The foundation is solid; time to go to work. #BSV #Chronicle

[Connor Murray @Bitcoin_Beyond]

Chronicle activates April 7th.

I want to take a moment to explain why this upgrade matters - not just technically, but personally.

First, huge thanks to everyone involved. The developers who did the actual work, and the community members who contributed to ensuring the scope was as airtight as possible while promoting stability. Maintaining stability while restoring the original protocol was a delicate balance, and the final release reflects all the hard work that went into ensuring that.

Why restore the original protocol?

This isn't just about completion for its own sake. Over the years, a lot of restrictions were added to Bitcoin. And in the same way that central planning can destroy an economy, centrally planning and limiting developer creativity means we have no idea what possibilities the original protocol actually enabled. We know it allowed more flexibility. We imagine that as better Bitcoin scripting engineers emerge and people learn more about the underlying protocol, they'll take advantage of use cases we can't even predict yet. Chronicle removes those artificial constraints. This is the core of the BSV Association's mandate. There should be no central person or group of people that tell you how you can build on top of the protocol.

Original Transaction Digest Algorithm (OTDA)

One of the most significant changes is the restoration of the Original Transaction Digest Algorithm. BSV will now support both the OTDA and the current BIP143 digest algorithm. Developers can opt into OTDA by setting the new CHRONICLE sighash flag (0x20). If you do nothing, existing behavior is preserved - BIP143 continues to work exactly as before. This gives developers the flexibility to choose which digest algorithm fits their use case, whether that's maintaining compatibility with existing systems or leveraging the original protocol's behavior.

Transaction malleability

Transaction malleability has been treated as this big scary problem throughout Bitcoin's history. There were a lot of patches added to Bitcoin over the years specifically to prevent it. But in doing so, they limited developer flexibility significantly.

Here's the thing: transaction malleability itself isn't actually a problem. It was only perceived as one because of how people were doing payments in Bitcoin - which was always wrong. Payments in Bitcoin were always meant to be peer-to-peer, then broadcast directly to the mining network. This is outlined in the Simplified Payment Verification section of the white paper. The work that has been done on all of the development tooling and the BRC-100 standard has enabled users and developers to utilize SPV.

Transaction malleability was a concern based on a misunderstanding of the payment flow, and a misunderstanding of nodes themselves. Because they misunderstood how payments should work and are convinced that miners will behave irrationally, they put in a bunch of restrictions on developers.

And here's the clever part: this is opt-in. Transactions using version 1 keep all existing restrictions. Only transactions with version > 1 get the relaxed rules. Existing applications remain completely unaffected. So if you are reading this and think "no way Connor is right about this" - then you can continue to ensure payments made with your wallet or application are not susceptible to malleability.

Restored opcodes

Chronicle re-instates several opcodes that were disabled years ago. Of note:

• OP_VER, OP_VERIF, OP_VERNOTIF — access the transaction version directly in script
• OP_LSHIFTNUM, OP_RSHIFTNUM — numerical bit shifting (restored to mimic the original behavior of OP_LSHIFT and OP_RSHIFT)

Business continuity

In line with BSV's commitment to stability: if you do nothing, nothing breaks. Existing applications using BIP143 without the CHRONICLE flag remain completely unaffected. The changes are all opt-in. This was deliberate - we needed to restore the original protocol while respecting that real businesses depend on the current state.

Personal note

I've been in BSV since day one. The uniting goal, shared with other community members, was always restoring the Bitcoin protocol and locking it. Set in stone. I'm proud to have played my part in that, and to have been involved in the actual work being done by the developers to enable it.

The work of the Association in doing this restoration is finally done. The protocol Satoshi designed is back.

This is cause for celebration. Let's build.

Instead of a boycott of @BSVAssociation , we need a complete restoration of the original Bitcoin protocol and we need it now. The Chroniocal update was originally scheduled for deployment in Q3 2024; however, due to multiple rounds of feedback, refinement, and close collaboration with developers, it was delayed by a year and a half. @Kate_L_Mosso you can read the full story and timeline here, complete with referenced links for every step taken. I consider that @ProjectBabbage as well as has developers invloved have had ample time and resources for review and feedback. Best regards.

@CalvinAyre I’m more scared of the talking than the biting. LOL!

[Token Slayer @TokenSlayerX]

The hard problems are the only ones worth solving. If it were easy, an L2 would’ve fixed it by now. But we’re doing it on the base layer at the right way. BSV is the quiet revolution that’s about to get very loud. Proud to be in the trenches with you all. #BSV

[Babbage | BRC100 @ProjectBabbage]

What's going on in #BSV? A little update and some thoughts about the future.

And I want to reiterate, we are all in this together and we have got to find a way to keep growing while still addressing the hard problems.

What is the date of the superseding?
