Technical Developments

Teranode Production Deployment
@BSVTeranode
Summary: Explained that Teranode is deployed via Docker containers orchestrated by Kubernetes in production. Each microservice runs in its own container with auto-scaling, load balancing, and self-healing capabilities.

Teranode Microservices Architecture
@hbgnostic
Summary: Clarified Teranode’s design where validation, propagation, and mining operate as separate microservices. Noted that nodes like BSVB-EU-1 run validation + propagation as core network infrastructure on the mesh, distinct from external brokers like ARC.

Arcade Gateway for Teranode
@BitcoinSVtrain
Summary: Published a detailed thread introducing Arcade — a lightweight Go-based smart broadcast gateway for Teranode. It replaces the older ARC stack with a simpler, more efficient solution using native P2P gossip layers, SSE/webhooks, and batch submission support.

Protocol & Philosophy

Protocol Immutability
@CsTominaga (Dr. Craig Wright)
Summary: Strongly defended Bitcoin’s fixed protocol rules, criticizing calls for changes and stating that true engineering works within constraints rather than demanding the system be altered. Emphasized that there are no decimal points in the protocol itself.
