If I copy Facebook and Twitter's databases and run up a competing system, the are not FB and Twitter

Change the protocol
Copy the Databases

And you are not bitcoin

BTC is nothing like bitcoin

It is merely a copy of the database that is used to start a copy by breaches of copyright

A theft

There is a VERY fine line, BCH is on the tight rope

No digital signature needed...

Segwit alters it

Digital signature law....

Yes. Digital signature law is robust

Law is law

Code is evidence

More, but a signature is essential

BLS Signatures means schnorr and Lamport

It is a huge change

Basically, segwit is a 1% part of this

What the fuck is this crap even discussed for, make an alt.

Next, I have patented the way aggregated signatures can work.

You think I will allow it on BCH, then you will get to hear my true opinion

Next.
I can already do aggregated ECDSA signature forms

If you believe Maxwell et al re that being impossible...

Then you are dumb as dirt and I am sorry for insulting dirt

Just my rants.

Here is what patents mean. I own most of these so called solutions. The keys to how they can work.

That is from 2007

Sorry... Tree Signatures go back to the 70s

The form used by Blockstream, 2007

It was a Generalized Merkle Signature Scheme (GMSS)

There was no attribution

That is, it is plagurised

GMSS forms are not fast

XMSS and the newer versions are, but these use XOR rather than CAT

oh, BS never used XOR

And BCH has XOR enabled

Oh... the solution that makes all this work correctly and at scale in bitcoin is a little thing we patented

My first one

my 2nd in fact, but the 1st nchain one

The stuff that is really important here...

A patented tech from 2000.

If you think about it a little bit you can force people to do calculations to get paid.

These can be calculations that are complex.

If you add the required calculation into the digital signature component you now require the digital signature of the output key modified by the calculation.

Script allows you to do arithmetic operations on the signature itself.

The signature is constructed using a combination of the R,S components which are sent by a standard push data opcode

In an R Component of 32 bytes, we could have a value saved in the ALT stack that can be used in the calculation.
Analogously, this can be applied to the public key as well..

PubKey XOR Mask

For the public key to be valid, the mask needs to be solved.

This mask can be made secure using hashing algorithms and other forms of computation

The mask does not need to apply to the entire public key.

Many will tell you this is completely insecure if the mask is too large as alternative calculations may be able to result in payments to different public keys.

But, remember you also have OP_DUP

So, you could match the hash of the public key against the modified masked version and now allow only the person holding the public key to even know what the value of mask calculation will be as it's only their key.

Are Electronic Signatures Counterparts?
An electronic signature, e-signature, or digital signature is a way to sign a document online. In some cases, you can use a mouse, while in other cases you type your name into the space.

https://www.thebalancesmb.com/counterparts-and-legally-binding-signatures-398169

Did you know, that you can type a signature....
And that a series of contracts can be digitally signed once and all others just initialled with type font...
electronic records and signatures carry the same weight and legal effect as traditional paper documents and handwritten signatures stating: A document or signature cannot be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.

https://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2013/06/what-are-e-signatures-are-they-legally-valid.html

https://www.docusign.com/learn/are-electronic-signatures-legal

the term "counterparts" means "legally binding documents that are recognized in a court of law."

People are about to learn what:

_This deed may be executed in any number of counterparts. A counterpart may be a facsimile._
_Those counterparts together constitute one instrument._

... means

There is a reason why I didn't use Schnorr, and it has nothing to do with the patent.

Even Hal Finney had *multiple* patents.

You can add signatures. So, adding keys leaves tou able to construct a group signatory system...

Which means you are always able to create an anonymous system that exists outside law

One you can always use to "prove" it is not your key

Keys are similar to ECDSA as a curve

Now, if you have

Pa = P1 + P2
There always exists a P.1.1 + P2.2 = Pa

So, there are always ways to say that it is not your key...

The Dread Pirate Roberts defense

Say,
P0 =(7)G
P0 =(6+1)G
P0=(4+6-3)G
P0=(2+5)G

Etc

So, there is always a way to avoid attributing the key to an identity

And, private means the parties are identified.

Schnorr is about the opposite side of bitcoin
