BSAHI Research

Bitcoin Resource Accounting — the research program of Bitcoin Sahi: a complete accounting system for every long-lived resource Bitcoin consumes (replicated storage, UTXO state, validation, relay, bandwidth), quantifying how much of each cost the fee market internalizes. SCCR (storage) is Metric #1 — the first measured member of the RIR family; the rest are research hypotheses. Open research on block space economics — the fee market, mempool dynamics, and the permanent cost of data storage.

The Paper

The Bitcoin Resource Accounting flagship — the Storage Cost Coverage Ratio measurement and its supporting research.

• The Working Paper
  Storage Cost Internalization in Bitcoin's Fee Market — the full SCCR measurement (v2.2.0), reconciliation, and 4-resource model.
• Problem Statement
  The one-sentence framing: the fee market prices the next block, not permanence.
• Verification Appendix
  Model reconciliation (the 10x bug), reproducibility note, and the full evidence chain.
• SegWit & Block Composition
  How the 4:1 witness discount became the pricing structure inscriptions use.
• Pruning Externality
  What pruned nodes still pay: download + verify is unavoidable, storage is avoidable.
• UTXO Cost Model
  The marginal cost of permanent inscription data, byte by byte.
• History of Bitcoin
  A block-space-economics reading of Bitcoin's history, from cypherpunk origins to Ordinals.

New Research (2026-08)

The attacker-side and governance measurements — born from the community review.

• Cost to Flood
  The attacker-side storage externality: leverage ratio L = 3.0x, dust L = 0.9x, bounded at 52.6 GB/yr.
• The Governance Boundary
  BIP-110 as a live natural experiment: who can change valid-state transition rules, under what threshold.
• Validation Cost 🔒 Beta
  The CPU leg of the 4-resource model — order-of-magnitude survey and a falsifiable claim.
• Satoshi Primary Sources 🔒 Beta
  What Satoshi actually wrote about storage, fees, and node equilibrium — verified verbatim.
• Whitepaper Patterns 🔒 Beta
  The cleared-the-blackboard lens: the master pattern, the pattern lattice, verified anchors.
• The Externality Is Growing 🔒 Beta
  SCCR trend week of Aug 2026 — fees cover less as the fee market cools; the unpriced storage cost is growing. The research team now correlates this live.
