The solution presented in the article uses the bitcoin protocol. BSV is just one implementation of that. It could also work on BCH if some default limits were lifted, and (theoretically, not economically) possible on BTC.

> It could also work on BCH if some default limits were lifted Can you list what those default limits are, and how big the needed changes are?

  I just wrote the comment and noticed that the scripting limits on BCH are actually a network rule and are not miner-configurable. So my statement that "it could also work on BCH if some default limits were lifted" is only correct in the sense that this number needs to be increased in a network upgrade: https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/blob/master/src/script/script.h#L26 https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/blo...

BSV and Bitcoin (BTC) are incompatible protocols, so this is just a straight out lie. Sure, it can be added to BTC as long as there's a use case and concencus for it, but so far there isn't.

Dogecoin, Litecoin and Dash also use the bitcoin protocol and should also work. > Sure, it can be added to BTC The presented solution does not require a protocol change. BSV is essentially the original bitcoin protocol (with few small exception); nothing was added to the protocol to implement the turing machine. BTC has some of the scripting opcodes disabled but they can either be implemented using other opcodes (no change) or they could be reenabled as a new SegWit deployment (requires change). However, the issue you'll run into in practice is that the reference implementation (Bitcoin Core) has very small limits set and discourages scripting. You'll have to find a miner that mines the custom scripting transactions. And, well, fees are another issue.
