i just wanted to comment on the whole anonymity argument that BTC/BCH uses to try and discredit the BSV "legally compliant" approach. one of the reasons they use to justify capping the blocksize is that various optimizations, like enhancing anonymity protocols (like Schnoor and mixing), need developing before any blocksize increase will be allowed. well, one of the earliest arguments i ever made years ago, based on Kristov Atlas's security book many years ago now, was the concept of security by obscurity. this has different meanings depending on who you ask, but Kristov's definition had to do with gaining, if not outright anonymity, real privacy as the protocol scales to millions/billions of users. certainly BSV is trying to add millions/billions of users and their tx's as fast as possible via the blocksize increases it's already made and finally by removing the limit altogether come February. and we've seen tx growth as a result. as more and more users come onboard we get to a point where it's just not possible to single out every marijuana buy on every single street corner. police only have so many personnel, so many jails, and a certain budget to only go after the big criminals while having to get off their butts to do so . and i think you'll still be able to donate to a Wikileaks if you want. thus, you get lost in the crowd as long as you're not doing anything egregious. point being, you gotta scale fast and big asap. while BCH talks about having talks and drags it's feet in lifting the limits, BSV is letting it rip; as they should.
