A high-throughput multicast Bitcoin transaction distribution system, with a roadmap towards billions of transactions per second.

Features:

- Control channel for block header announcements, operational mechanisms, and network topology automation

- Separate channels for subtree, subtree grouping, and transaction load

- Transaction load sharding by deterministic multicast group membership based on TXID

- Transaction specialization filtering and retransmission both unicast and multicast, to connect edge networks only interested in a portion of the transaction load for whatever reason

- NACK-based retransmission of missed packets via hash chain gap sequence tracking (per sender, per shard) with automated caching endpoint beacon discovery and tiered network distribution

- BGP-AnyCast based transaction ingress

Basically all the topology pieces to scale the actual small-world network for Bitcoin miners or transaction processors; dense at the core, with layered and sharded group distribution towards users at the edges. Right now just site or org-scope multicast in planned, but provisions are being made to extend via MP-BGP eventually.

For BSV Blockchain but could work for the other Bitcoin variants too, if they ever wanted to scale.

LLMs still leave something to be desired for DevOps related work; infrastructure code. There is still not really enough context available when crossing the division between the hardware, OS, and software.

For Terraform, specifically, Claude 4 can get thrown into infinite recursive loops trying to solve certain issues within the bounds of the language. Claude still tries to add completely invalid procedures into things like templates.

It does seem to work a bit better for standard application programming tasks.
