Mining pool CEO: Craig Wright is a "chess piece" for Bitcoin SV, Calvin Ayre allegedly calls the shots

Jiang Zhuoer, the CEO at BTC.TOP, one of the largest Bitcoin mining pools, revealed that Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre planned the split from the Bitcoin Cash network long before the matter was publicly discussed.

In a Reddit post that shares part of an interview with Zhuoer, the Chinese entrepreneur pointed out that Craig Wright only "Seems" to be the leader of the Bitcoin Satoshi Vision community.

He claims that the self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor is only "a chess piece," and that online-gambling billionaire Calvin Ayre is actually the real boss of BSV.Craig Wright allegedly does not hold shares in nChain or CoinGeek.

Zhuoer further notes that CoinGeek develops its own mining machines, and independently runs its crypto-mining operation via Squire Mining.

The news media company also controls the Bitcoin SV chain, which many analysts claim is highly centralized.

Ayre want to completely control Bitcoin SV. The BSV chain was not forked from BCH because the former wanted to follow a different developmental roadmap, Zhuoer pointed out.

Zhuoer also mentioned that the bitcoinsv.org and bitcoinsv.io domains were registered several months before Wright publicly began taking shots at Roger Ver's Bitcoin Cash ABC team.

Wright intentionally created tensions between the ABC and BSV supporters in order to fork the Bitcoin Cash chain, he claims.

Going on to note some of the extreme claims, Zhuoer mentioned that Wright suggested increasing Bitcoin SV's block sizes to 2 GB, which could result in major technical problems and have an adverse effect on any blockchain network.

Researchers at BitMEX found that the Bitcoin SV chain was rolled back by two blocks before the activation of the Quasar hard fork, which upgraded the cryptocurrency's block sizes to 2 GB on July 24.
