Sending #Bitcoin p2p over a large block drivechain
✅ Fast and cheap payments
✅ Cold storage and offline txns
✅ Onboard directly to L2
✅ Bitcoin miners get all the fees
✅ No changes to Bitcoin Core
Paying **$100k** this summer!! Ongoing hackathon!
The objective is to **FIND BUGS**. You don't even have to fix them -- just find them.

After studying the trade-offs among different L2s in depth, I concluded that BIP300 is an exceptionally strong proposal.
Activating Drivechains via CUSF would address many of Bitcoin's key problems.
Over the years, dozens of people joined my podcast and praised Drivechains
None of these have any affiliation to LayerTwo Labs, they’re just independent thinkers who arrived at the same conclusion:
Bitcoin would benefit from BIP300
This is why Ecash is such a big deal!
Unilateral exit at any valuation of BTC is not logically possible if you have the requirement that the Blockchain also charges fees in order to provide for proof of work. But you could sidestep exit, find others to move with you and share the fee. That would allow for small exits
@nextiscrypto@Vladcostea No, you asked what happens to Satoshi’s coins. Satoshi doesn’t own any eCash (yet). He owns Bitcoin. Nothing happens to his Bitcoin
According to Zooko, there is a "really good, technically good competitor to zCash, which is the drivechain"
The zSide drivechain will be available in August
#ecash#zec#hardfork
@nextiscrypto@Vladcostea 500,000 eCash coins that are believed to be Satoshi’s are going to early investors. These are not Satoshi’s coins, because he doesn’t own any eCash, but he will be given control of the remaining 600,000 coins
@coinjoined@francispouliot_@FractalEncrypt I built a simple program for inheritance several years ago
It’s written in Python. I never expected it to be used for actual inheritance, but hoped the idea would get built by better devs

The comments (and quotes) sayin that nothing of value has been built with Taproot.
Looks inside:
> Ark
> Statechains
> BitVM
> Miniscript
> All the advancements to make Cashu non-custodial
> SuperScalar
> Rollups
> DLCs
Those just from the top of my head.
@nextiscrypto@Vladcostea Nothing. The coins Satoshi mined remain his property.
If he wants, he can move his new eCash coins to zSide and actually use them
@BitPaine If Bitcoin should "never change", why shouldn’t we invest in privacy coins?
Why is anything useful a "shitcoin" if Bitcoin is never going to have it?

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help.
Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now.
For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck.
Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now.
If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us.

Hi @saylor
Now that you’ve grown up and understood that the crypto market is here to stay and you need to dominate that one too
Let’s do a podcast
I would love to find out more about your crypto strategy
And what you’re gonna do with your Ecash airdrop in August
Paul Sztorc’s hard fork of Bitcoin, called eCash, will have a 400kb blocksize and drivechains
Some of the drivechains include zSide for zCash privacy, Thunder for large block scalability, and Truthcoin for conditional prediction markets
All fees will go to the miners. He’s using Bitcoin Core with CUSF (Core Untouched Soft Fork), so all of these features could be added to Bitcoin right now
Also, LayerTwo Labs has created a CUSF for OP_CAT activation. You can have OP_CAT right now, if 51% hashrate activates it
Tyler and Cameron were promised Bitcoin would be cypherpunk money. They bought and hodled
But Bitcoin became Saylor slop
Bitcoin could be cypherpunk money, and I’m sure they would come back. They like zcash, and there is a zcash sidechain ready to be activated at any time
But Bitcoin is full of retards, so in August, Paul Sztorc (author of Nothing is Cheaper Than Proof of Work) will introduce a hard fork called eCash that uses Bitcoin Core and adds the zcash sidechain (among others)
It’s time for Bitcoin to have some real competition
