BSV Teranode is now into a public testnet phase.
The microservices / vertical scaling approach is near-identical to what @blockapps did for its Enterprise Ethereum clients 10 years ago with STRATO. Very sensible.
One very interesting note is that Teranode *requires* all transactions to be of a new extended type.
This is a consequence of the SubTree model and will require all wallets and lots of other software to be updated.
Which is fine, and to be expected. @BSVAssociation have made it clear that apps should be using SPV approaches, overlays, APIs like JungleBus etc anyway, not running their own nodes.
@BSVAssociation But this puts the "set in stone" CSW bullshit story to bed once and for all.
It's a major protocol update and hard fork. There have been many already (BCH fork, Genesis fork).
And that is fine. It's a massive upgrade, and some eggs get broken, which is worth it.
@BSVAssociation I am watching the Bitcoin mega-giga-block experiment with interest.

@LightBSV @BSVAssociation @___siggi___ But still ...
The BCH fork and Genesis changes were both hard forks and were changes of protocol.
Node operators had to upgrade their client software or they could no longer follow the canonical chain. Because the protocol changed.
I don't know why so many BSV-ers keep insisting that was not the case, other than cultish CSW talking point mimicking.
Hard-forks always cause a chain-split. It's just that most of the time the "old chain" is abandoned and the community all agree to migrate to the "new chain".
@LightBSV @BSVAssociation @___siggi___ The original protocol was that which the Bitcoin client software launched with in 2009.
There were numerous protocol upgrade hard-forks in those early years with an implicit assumption that most node operators were using recent versions.
Those switched to soft-forks later.
@LightBSV @BSVAssociation @___siggi___ But then BCH was a hard-fork away from BTC.
BTC continued to soft-fork in SegWit and then Taproot.
The BCH/BSV chain split was another hard-fork, though with BCH forking away from BSV.
Then BSV Genesis was another hard-fork.
Seems that Teranode will be a soft-fork after all.
@LightBSV @BSVAssociation @___siggi___ Then on the BCH side you've had hard-forks every 6 months.
BCH / eCash was yet another hard fork.
Claiming that any protocol was "set in stone" is just plain incompatible with the reality.
All the chains have had multiple protocol changes and updates, with new software needed.
