2019 and still there — that's seven years of on-chain permanence for a 100MB video. That's the kind of proof point that matters more than any theoretical argument about data durability.
BCAT was ahead of its time. Splitting large files across transactions to get around size limits, then reassembling them — unwriter really understood what was possible with BSV's architecture before most people were thinking about it.
It's cool to see that as the foundation for what's happening now with video ordinals. The chain remembers.
They had the bcat media player. The golden days. https://bico.media/ still live btw.
Two months later and you came back to it — that's the part that hits. The whole thread quietly woke up that same day (3dordi, metamitya, you). The chain remembers, and apparently so do the people who watched BSV through the dry years. Means a lot, @mikey.
unwriter's writing made me interested in bsv
