Topic: DASH scam exposed at the Satoshi Roundtable retreat! - page 3. (Read 7911 times)

Wow that is a great tip and not just for Hepa C.

Btw, all my tests came back negative, including HIV, Hepa C, Hepa B, blood culture, urine culture, and prostate cancer enzyme.

Also my gastroenteritis doc further pointed out that the pain I am experiencing just inside the lowest right rib is not due to the fatty liver, but rather my stomach. And she said my fatty liver is very early stage.

So we are no closer to knowing the problem, except that I can now pinpoint my stomach and tie that into the May 2012 hospitalization for the acute peptic ulcer (that had leaked acid into my abdominal cavity causing all my organs there to tear and my stomach had ballooned up). Note my chronic fatigue and peripheral neuropathy had begun as early as 2009 or 2010 (thus the peptic ulcer is not the root cause of all of this), but it wasn't chronic and acute as now until after the May 2012 incident (yet it was already bad enough in 2011 that I was losing productivity). I continue to think it was an overload of infections that tilted my immune system into autoimmunity, such as the HPV infection in 2006 that stuck with me (I reviewed emails from 2008 where I was still complaining about the lethargy and early stage neuropathy effects in my feet when standing more than 30 minutes). And then apparently dengue sometime after that (and didn't hospitalize for it and didn't know it was dengue until later blood test in 2012). And then at least two severe infections from females, especially late 2011 and Spring 2012. This was all on top of continuous infections throughout the 1990s when I was living in squalor in the Philippines (and bitten by mosquitos continously).

My doc thinks it is acid and prescribed an omeprazole variant. She doesn't want me to eat apples, bananas, etc.. I asked her if it could be an ulcer and she said no because I would have blood in my vomit or stool. I asked her if there is such a thing as stomach cancer and she said yes.

I think she is wrong about stomach acid and I am not going to take more of those acid controlling medicines, because I've read they have long-term side effects. I am not going to take more antibiotics, because I already took those for months.

Rather I have a new theory. I think there is something out-of-whack with my stomach (scar?) such that if I intake took much plant oils that it is causing my immune system to attack my stomach (more scarring?). I think the problem is that I stopped eating fruits, because I thought the acid and fructose was my enemy. But rather it seems that the fructose of juice is an enemy but the whole fruit itself is a balance of soluble fiber and natural sugars together with anti-oxidants. I think body thinks my stomach is an invader and my immune system is attacking my stomach. I think the types of food I eat contribute to my body viewing my stomach as a toxin.

She said she could go looking inside with an endoscope, but they would have to sedate me and there is 0.5% risk of complications such as bleeding. I think that is too much of a risk, until I have exhausted all my diet change options. Yesterday I ate a large Korean pear, several apples, all kinds of different vegetables and fish. I am able to get fresh sashi directly from a tuna exporter and he has a $4 all I can eat buffet just outside the subdivision where I am living. I am finding that if I eat every 3 to 5 hours and continuously eating the fruits, well at least yesterday I was entirely able to keep the stomach pain from becoming that disseminated effect where the entire abdomen turns yellow and I would normally get systemic autoimmune effects in my head and peripheral neuropathy symptoms. I was able to keep the pain focused right at the stomach without the systemic effects.

So there is some war going on around my stomach. Maybe a tumor, maybe a scar? The CT scan will provide more resolution than the ultrasound and will cost me about $400. I'll probably do that later this month if the diet changes haven't worked by then.

The Australia option looks like perhaps the better option if I need to go further than the CT scan. They could also I presume test me for all strains of HPV (which I don't think the Philippines can do yet), which is I think one of the original sources of my autoimmunity sensitivity, due to the horrendous reaction of my body in 2006 when my ex-wide infected me with that (some high # strain which I forgot because I lost the copies of the Fax from her gynecologist).


Just like with fiat, nobody will care. What matters to humans is to get on with their lives. So what ever is working at the moment and popular, will be the default standard.

I don't think companies are going to want to trust and stick an unreliable (unreliable obfuscation and unreliable performance) Tor/I2P layer between their servers and the cash and smart contract block chain. I don't think they will want their anonymity set is limited to potentially overlapping rings that can be unmasked by what apathetic customers do.

Hey maybe the coin that has both RingCT and zk-snarks will be the winner. Monero could position itself accordingly and let the users choose which privacy construction they prefer.


I will need to study the Zerocash white paper again at some point to see if I can devise a way to do a viewkey that spans different transactions, but doesn't allow the holder of the viewkey to sign for a transaction. I am not sure if it is structurally impossible. Shen-noether and gmaxwell can also probably figure this out.

Say my *piece. Not say my peace.

It sounds like you have few options, the worst of which would be to wait until liver cirrhosis. I hope you can get treated quickly at a price you can afford so the level of focus and productivity you had in the past returns.

You have a lot of supporters here. Good luck!

Such a thing won't work in the following example:

1. Generate unique address for customer
2. Accept deposit on this address
3. Reciprocate

TPTB, if your Hep C test is positive try and come to Australia. New funding for Hep C treatment literally starts TODAY. Australia has universal health care, so once inside the medical system you're genrally not hounded by bean counters, you just need to get 'inside' the system as a foreigner.

Idea: get a travel visa with TOP health insurance cover, come to OZ, go to hospital and present with your symptoms, get diagnosed, get Hep C treatment, get cured, code your coin (or join monero), change the world.

http://www.hepatitisaustralia.com/newsarticles/hepatitis-c-treatment-coming-to-pbs/23/2/2016

Good luck!!

Let's see if that is necessary. Depending on Hepa C genotype (if that is what I have), maybe the medicine is available in Egypt for $300 per month (4 month treatment regimen). Etc.. Premature yet since I don't even know yet if there is an underlying infectious cause (although I strongly expect there is, because it just doesn't make any sense I would have fatty liver from diet alone given my athletic activities, etc). I know I had HPV in 2006 and dengue before 2012. So who knows what else I had/have. Also my symptoms included papilomas over my body at times (2013/14), white tongue, and other indications of infectious agent (which have mostly diminished except eczema, but that could be due to the herbal treatments I did).


Are you referring to any thing else besides the decentralization comment below?

To reiterate, I think privacy will become important only if crypto currency becomes important. I am saying that putting the cart before the horse doesn't make a market. I don't believe privacy is a feature that will make crypto currency important and used by millions of people. After crypto currency is used by 100s of millions of people, then corporations will need privacy for crypto currency. After, not before.


Monero is not going to remain decentralized as it scales. I already explained to ArticMine and smooth why that is the case.

It is impossible to make a crypto currency that remains decentralized for verification. Again I explained why to ArticMine and smooth.

The only way to maintain decentralization is to make orthogonal the decentralized control and the verification.

So yes I agree with you and apparently only I know how to make that happen. I don't see anyone else with a design that can work.

Consider a Go Fund me for medical costs.  It's not glamourus, but neither is dying if you feel you still have contributions left to make to the species. 
 
Best of luck; I think you are missing some of the forest for the trees with regards to privacy and your idea would be an elegant, but ultimately flawed and partial, solution for digital money. 
 
Anything not totally decentralized is not going to be a long term (decade plus) solution going forward.

My 2 cents opinion... I can't even think of starting with Cryptonote nor RingCT as a base for what I want to do, because I want to popularize crypto currency and I need microtransactions and very high transaction rate scaling with instant transactions. Also I want to totally change the PoW model to unprofitable PoW where the mining is done by payers (not by miners) and verification is entirely centralized, because this is the only way I can see to maintain decentralization as a crypto currency scales up. All that privacy and anonymity overhead is baggage that makes it impossible to achieve my design and it does nothing for the masses, but stand in the way of the features for which they might actually use a crypto currency.

It is 2am here (slept 5 hours now insomnia kicks in again). At 9am I will receive the results from all my blood tests looking for an infectious cause. I am thinking my Hepatitis C test will be positive. That makes the most sense with the symptoms I have now. And I am actually hoping that is the result, because there are 4 month treatment cures for Hepatitis C now (just in the past year or so become available), but one problems is the treatments cost ~ $85,000 and I don't have that much money, and even if I had health insurance (which I don't), they wouldn't pay for it until my liver reaches cirrhosis. But I did read one of the treatment regimens is available for example in Egypt for $300 per month.

So hopefully later today I will have more clarity on what I am dealing with.

Normally with Hepatitis C once a person reaches the stage I am in now, then they lose their ability to work, etc.. But I suppose radical improvement in diet might stave it off and improve matters enough to get a few more months of productivity. I was able to code an entire dating/social network site Spring of 2015, so it is only since about July 2015 that I become totally incapable of sustaining the type of concentration and man-hours one needs to gain momentum with coding.

Back on the topic of anonymity and privacy, I think there may be a market for this especially corporations are going to want this. And I think it may be possible to integrate this with the type of overhaul of Satoshi's design that I am contemplating. But I don't believe the first priority is to integrate that, because first we need to make crypto currency popular. Also I think the privacy technology that will end up integrating best and also work the best for corporations will be based on zk-snarks, not based on RingCT (otherwise I wouldn't have stopped trying to get my alternative design for RingCT which employs the apparently more efficient CCT instead of CT). It is possible I am missing some key details which will make my assumption incorrect. As all programmers know, the devil is in the details and I have not been trying to integrate on chain privacy with my contemplated overhaul yet.

As I said, if I was healthy I'd be all over this and I would be silent, because I'd be having too much fun coding. I am talking probably because I don't feel well and I am not able to do what I love to do. Reflecting a bit, I think I developed an addiction for posting on these forums, because for one thing it was necessary for my learning curve in 2013 but also it became a crutch for what I apparently lost the ability to do. Yesterday I was sitting in front of the computer trying to work, but even last night I realized I couldn't speak well to my gf. When one doesn't have the energy to speak clearly (tongue tied), then that can explain why they can't also do any coding. I really think it would be difficult for another person to understand if they didn't have experience with a similar type of illness. I also can't understand why I can write and analyze on the forum, but it doesn't translate into same ability to code. I think the difference is that writing and analyzing is much less intensive, because it is small morsels. Whereas with coding, one loads up a lot of information and variables and has to sustain several hours of concentration to get anything at all accomplished on some snippet of code.

I think Monero has a very good shot of taking over the privacy realm, but I think after you get RingCT and GUI wallet done, you need to start looking at zk-snarks. If ever I can get healthy, and if ever I do actually produce some code for an overhaul of Satoshi's design, at that point I think there could be a consideration of a meeting of the minds. Any way, what ever I do will be open sourced upon release, so you all can integrate or cherry pick even without my involvement. Right now, the key is that if I can't get healthy, then I am just a windpipe.

My estimation is XMR will replace Darkcoin in mere 6 months. In the coming 3 mo Monero is about to offer 50% increase in value which makes the XMR's marketcap to 15 million. When the GUI ks ready, the profit potential is enourmous.

TPTB, it sounds like you are 80% on board with Monero, but the tragedy of the commons, full node compensation, is what is bothering you most.  
  
Why don't you put that big ol brain of yours to work on building a layer on top of Monero that compensates full nodes, even if by donation?  Is there any way to turn greed into full node compensation on top of existing infrastructure.  
  
Bitcoin succeeded by turning ledger writing into a competitive sport with rewards.  Shouldn't there be an elegant way to turn ledger validation into the same?

If it's mining centralization you are worried about, is there a way to set up geographical or power-based compensation?  Let's say if a poor kid with a Raspberry Pi wants to mine in Africa, and he is the first one in his area who wants to mine, he gets something - even if it's not as much as the big boys.

I don't classify myself as a "Monero supporter" - in the sense, I will not blindly peddle it for augmenting the community or for trade gains. I sure support it for it's tech(best in class at the moment) and the dev as well as R&D team (MRL is top notch, and I come from a write-papers academic background myself). I do not condone some of the non-professional attitude of some (including pony several times), but you can't change people. I guess a certain swagger comes with what they believe and work in and so be it. It needs to be "presented" differently but that's just my opinion.

So I am not upset one bit and understand what your allusions are at a philosophical level.


This should be welcome by smooth, pony, shen et al. I do recommend trying to present concrete solutions and not limit yourself to broad brush painting. They should be compassionate and accommodating in return. Perhaps you can join one of the dev meetings for starters, play out the ego warfares, propose solutions and go from there.


Agree with the thoughts here. zcash could have been whole heartedly community supported, but it's reward structure is an insult to crypto-enthusiasts and is just inviting everyone to just swim with the whales and further create factions for the next generation of crypto. If there are features that can be integrated within Monero, that will be preferred way to close out edge cases.




In addition to what you are doing, I really recommend a Green Smoothie to start off the mornings. Get a blendtec blender and blend spinach, green kale, red kale, celery, chards, collards, carrots, lettuce, broccoli,neem and beet (at least 24 oz to start the day). Cut sugar & gluten completely out of the system (restricted fruits only). Add a 100% grass fed whey protein shake in the evenings and I give 2-3 months tops before you are completely healed.  

Yeah I thought of that too after I posted.

Well Evan is probably correct, that whales are not going to support the coin unless they control the coin supply so they can manipulate the markets. Evan is pragmatic and maximizes what he can "accomplish" within his resources.

Even Bitcoin appears to be the same with the Chinese mining cartel controlling 65% of all new coins mined. On the next block reward halving the marginal miners go, so the cartel's percentage should increase. If they can keep the block size constrained, they can obtain more Bitcoin by raising transaction fees.

It is not going to be easy to overcome the status quo. I hope you Monero supporters won't get upset with me if I say I don't think you have the chops to do what needs to be done to solve this. I believe I have the insight to do it, but I don't have the health nor programmer man-hours to do it.

I'd propose we get together and try to move ahead, but I think there is a difference in culture and focus and style. For example, I don't think we get there with part-time open source and laying out all my ideas in the open from the start. There needs to be a strategic approach. Normally I'd be all over this, but I am in a daily and hour-by-hour struggle to overcome a very unhealthy (fatty) liver and non-smooth kidneys.

What this does is it is debilitating (e.g. lack of energy, tiredness makes everything a chore, etc) away the normal functioning of the mind and body. I am hoping I get a breakthrough on my health. I am doing every thing I possibly can. Two days ago, I ran 3 times 2 kms (in tropical sun for vitamin D and sweat). Yesterday 5 hours of carpentry and fighting with very hard lumber with a $4 hand saw. Today 2 times 2 kms already (4pm now). Eating only oatmeal, raw or steamed tuna, steamed broccoli, wild black rice, apple, banana and today I made tomato soup (from paste) without any oil, just celery and white onion added, with herbs and black pepper. Delicious, but I don't yet have the entire breakthrough where I feel normal. Before running at 3pm, I just wanted to lay on the sofa, and couldn't really work up the energy and mental momentum to work. Although that much running and hard exertion I think in the past would make me bed ridden. So I am just hoping and praying I am near the end of the tunnel with this so I can get engrossed into coding. I did have an inspiration two days ago on my 3rd run, I was sprinting early in the run and racing a car. Was able to complete the run after slowing down a bit, but I hadn't been that aggressive early in run since early 2015 as far as I can remember.

Really when you create great software, you do it because you love and enjoy creating. If it is chore, then that is already an indication of failure.

What I am trying to say is as I stepped back and took an overlook on all the altcoins, I don't see anything seriously in contention for adoption or breaking free of simply being a tool of speculation. Anonymity isn't the ticket. Tor/I2P are a joke. If you are a dissident you use a pigeon (or other such more certain method), not Tor. And even if there are 100,000 dissidents in this world, that doesn't make a software market for a currency. If you are talking about serious potential markets for privacy, then you'd be looking into zk-snarks, but even I am not sure if that will develop into a significant market.

There are much more significant markets we should be going after. I don't think any of these people in altcoins have the necessary chops to go after these markets. I normally could be a leader, but I am just shadow of the guy who created mass market software in the past.

This situation is extremely frustrating to me.

Again I am all for working with talented people who have the chops in the markets I want to address. And who can be pragmatic about all this premine/instanmine political crap. All the altcoins are premined because none of the future adoption users are mining. This entire forum is one big premine orgy.

I don't say any of this to put any one down, nor do I intend to interfere with the speculation markets ongoing here (meaning I give up on trying to point out all the various P&D lies and hype).

I am just frustrated I can't (so far) do what I want to do. I believe it should be possible to leave all the other altcoins in the dust and that would diminish the impact of P&D altcoins on both speculators and the ideological goals many of us may share.

 
 
I didn't say it would be jubilant, nor am I excited about others losing money.  But simply put - the world is not big enough for two anonymous coins when one has clearly superior tech and a non-shady distribution.  I won't go through an exhaustive list of Dash's sins here - it's been beaten up.  Suffice it to say, it must eventually collapse: either fast or slow. 
 
My bet is it won't happen slowly.  Capitulation will come quickly, and I would not want to be one of the hard working true believers in Dash when that happens.  I intend to leave Dash alone after today, but I wanted to say my peace just in case any were listening and could be convinced.

Lol.

"What must happen is Dash's market cap must collapse and be absorbed by Monero"

Lol, I saw you on trollbox, you try hard. Why are you all day long talking about monero?
Look so desesperare to me. You are dangerous, always lying about future, always trying to drive people pumping your shit. Accept it nobody know what future will be, please don't play with other people money.
Be honest and stop your f*cking manipulation and brain washing.

The whole thing has gone a lot further than it should, and everyone in Dash who understands its days are limited, yet persists in fostering the illusion, is negligent and immoral.  
  
What must happen is Dash's market cap must collapse and be absorbed by Monero.  It won't be pretty, and a lot of people who just honestly tried to be part of the cutting edge of crypto are going to get burned *bad*.  This will almost certainly be the humble little guys because the major holders will collaborate to liquidate first.  The Dash peasants will see the price start to drop, and assume it will 'come back'.  But it won't - not this time. By the time they finally figure out they've been had, Evan will have to go into hiding because his former supporters will be calling for his head and many genuine and talented people will be turned off of crypto for years.  
  
If Evan really feels bad about what he's done, he should liquidate his entire Dash holdings into XMR, offer to personally exchange the Monero he buys for Dash, then come on record and publicly support Monero from here on out.  It's going to be bloody and messy, but it will be the most honest thing he can do at this point.  Perhaps also we should start a Monero assistance fund for the inevitable Dash refugees.  Some people were genuinely interested in anonymous and fungible crypto, and ended up on the wrong side of the ocean through circumstances that were not their fault.  I pledge 100 XMR to such a fund, if one ever exists.  

As Gordon Gecko said, the most precious asset isn't money.  It's time.  
  
Save your money and try to live another 15 years.  You may see biological/transhumanist immortality yet.  
  
If you cannot, rest easy knowing you have been a productive cell in the vaster universe, and enjoy a little time with the new VR toys.  Maybe consider freezing yourself with Alcor or another cryonics company if you can afford it.  
  


 
 
The real truth is that blockchains are going to have a much greater impact than the internet but philistines like you are too small-minded to see it yet.  Give it some time and you'll understand.

No, I have said it before and will say it again, the biggest problem was the emission cut from 84 million to 21 million. That was the biggest cheating and I remember Evan posting in the thread that "whales will not support unless we cut emission". Now we know that otoh was one of the many who called the cards.

Later with the masternode scheme mining rewards were cut even further, so less pressure on the market to keep prices artificially high.

Bad crypto has been discussed ad nauseam. They call it anonymous while proudly displaying the amounts held in wallets, the transfer amounts etc. All you see is brain crippled morons asking to "deanonymize" (which also might very well happen if it is worth it and it's not). I feel really bad for the newbies who get sucked into this scam by conniving cunts like toknormal, quizzie and the likes. I just don't have the energy to fight, I would know I used to be in DRK before real anon crypto came.

Giving up the instamine is never going to fix it.

Fluffy looks less fat here, appears he is big boned and wider than tall. Spagni so he is of Italian descent?

Evan looks younger in that photo than in the Evolution presentation. There is no doubt he comes across as an amiable person which is why initially I did not desire to put great effort into criticizing Dash's technology when it was first launched. I had even commented that he was very amiable. But haven't we all learned by now what a wolf in sheepskin is.

When Evan gives up the instant mine and masternode control, then we can conclude he has turned over a new leaf.

I noted fluffy stated he wasn't against the masternode conceptually as long as the barrier to entry wasn't so high. Well if he meant deposits which basically boils down to PoS, then apparently fluffy doesn't understand block chain security very in depth.

I must admit I am jealous of these guys youthful age, good health, and thus able to get drunk. I absolutely can't drink any more (fatty liver disease) and I am not healthy enough to enjoy life normally.

I was thinking when watching the video what it used to be like when I could waste time and energy on frivolous slapstick (although perhaps one could argue the camaraderie is useful for building synergies on projects, although I never found that to be true BEFORE open source at least). Really put in perspective what a shit life I have now. I fight for each morsel of production and energy. I can't waste, yet I do on this forum. I need to hang a mirror on the wall in front of me. I look so damn thin and unathletic in the pics I took today compared to January 2015. Embarrassing.
