"Not your keys, not your coins."
Unless "your coins" were created too recently.
In which case, yeah, they're "your coins"... but "your keys" can't move them. Yet.
But they're yours [*]
Really...
Trust us bro.
[*] Unless they're ill-gotten, in which case they're void...
Apparently it's "bad faith" to state facts about current issuance.
And that the only thing preventing any prior issuance from being voided (for arbitrary criteria) is "practicality mainly".
And it earns a "block" so I can't reply...
Score!
Asked a prominent dev on the discord:
If using SV1 is "attacking" the network, then "why stop at Sept 21?" when invalidating issuance. There are millions of pre-fork coins that are just as "illegitimate".
The answer was "practicality mainly."
That's not exactly reassuring...
XBT created today may be invalidated later.
Not because it's *not* valid issuance today; it can be created *within consensus rules* when issued now.
But consensus/policy will be changing, and if current rewards are deemed "illegitimate" later they're subject to forfeiture.

Every cash deposit you make in your account will be held for a year - for the system's safe operation and future validation checks * - before you can spend it...
What do you mean "that's not normal for cash" ?!
* after all, it could be "ill-gotten" ...

Bitcoin is "electronic cash"...
Right?

Replying to @Dimi_h
Yup. Right now the spam is worst on XBT than on spam coin.
The big difference is that we will solve the problem.
We won't sit in a circle jerk asking ourselves what spam is, and pretending fees are the only filter acceptable.
And we sure as fuck won't be wondering if it's censorship or not.
And most importantly, we won't remove a spam filter after a 3 year long ongoing spam attack.

"Cash" literally means "money in circulation" that can be accessed "immediately" or "nearly immediately".
XBT currently being mined is not "electronic cash": it is future promises redeemable at an unknown date.

🚨 AlphaPool XBT Miners!🚨
Below is a video tutorial (Chinese subtitled) showing everyone the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to ensure you are mining to YOUR OWN Node+DATUM (client).
This method is 100% compliant with Knots community standards and is a massive step towards a TRULY decentralized mining pool integration. HUGE shout out to @cguida6 @LukeDashjr @SpectrGen SkyHawk and the rest of you, you know who you are! 😄
The knots team has been instrumental in helping me get this setup in a way that is truly decentralized and I am extremely grateful for that. Its been really neat working together the last week or two and I like the direction things are going! 💪
Miners, if you have any questions please ping me on Discord, DM me here, or on TG. There are a portion of you who still need to spin up your own nodes and DATUM clients, this is extremely time sensitive and urgent. AlphaPools temporary free trial DATUMs we be shutting down very soon so we need to move quickly! I will be here to help anyone who has any questions along the way. Thank you! 🙏
