I disagree. Bitcoin is written is C.

The other stuff you've stated (about DACs) is correct but Bitcoin is *not* written in C - it is written in C++ (there is a *huge* difference).

I doubt it's possible to create a DAC in a Turing-incomplete language. But u should try.
Technically, Bitcoin is a DAC. So it looks like it's possible.

I disagree. Bitcoin is written is C. I'm talking about Bitcoin protocol and its scripting language.

That means Turing-completness enable to do more stuff and more efficiently than Turing-incompletness, am i right?

Only to do more stuff. Efficiency doesn't matter.


Also I think I get why it's important for a DAC Platform (where you build DAC on top of it), but why a DAC alone should be bother with Turing-completness? Since a DAC can probably be program from the start to be able to do what it supposed to do in a efficient way, even with Turing-incompletness (e.g. Bitcoin).

Maybe you can elaborate on that, just from a technical standpoint. What makes Turing-complete language essential to create a DAC?

Well... In plain English I would explain it in such a way:

Imagine 2 people, Alice and Bob. Alice knows only how to add and subtract numbers, but Bob knows how to add, subtract and multiply them.
If u ask Alice to calculate 2*3, she will do it in such a way: 2 + 2 + 2. Or 3 + 3 if she is smart enough. Obviously, Bob would just multiply these numbers.
Now let's ask them to calculate 2.5 * 3.72. Alice won't be able to do it, but Bob will do the same without any problems.
U see there is a difference between Alice and Bob, coz Alice, unlike Bob, is Turing-incomplete.
Thanks.

Huh Isn't the Bitcoin protocol a DAC?

It's not Turing-complete. Only a genius is able to create a DAC using a Turing-incomplete language.

I wouldn't even bother asking this guy to "elaborate"... all you're going to get back is a bunch of cryptic babble

Am I sleeping or aliens have used their weapon that globally lowers IQ tenfold? Grin

Is this some sort of marketing campaign for the coin you've got advertised in your sig?

I'm only wondering because you aren't being specific at all... I don't think anyone here knows/understands what you're trying to say

They're going to come after you

Yes what is it

I just explained why Bitcoin can't be used for DACs.

Already answered on ur questions. Re-read the thread plz. 2-3 times if necessary.
Yeah but who are you talking about?

Never mind.
