Topic: Do you think "iamnotback" really has the" Bitcoin killer"? - page 26. (Read 79977 times)

Yeah a coin could improve btc function but isnt the real goal of mass acceptance dependant on recovering a mistaken payment. I mean once a few old dears send their lifes savings accidentaly by putting a decimal point in the wrong place then its name will ne dirt. How do ypu intend to solve this?

*Sorry typing on shit phone.

Manage your symptoms as best you can and continue to accumulate wealth, and eventually you'll have the resources to attack your health problem properly.

That your digestive system is in involved seems to indicate immune system involvement, thus I really think you should test also for infections and viruses, such as Epstein-Barr, Syphilis, etc... I think toxins are very unlikely the cause. It is much more likely to be a pathogen or cancer. One of your parathyroid glands (size of a grain of rice) can be defective and might need to be removed (you have 2 backups I think).

Get a CT scan also to look for tumors all over. Cancer can mess up our endocrine system. Might even be benign.

So many possibilities. You need a research hospital.

I understand why you want to mention it (so many times I did on these forums), because I know how frustrating it is to be handicapped by chronic fatigue and you'd prefer to do action but when you can't you can only communicate that you can't. I do agree let's try not to derail the thread. I understand somewhat what you are going through. You've just got to stay focused on the goal. Grind through it. Try to keep yourself occupied and as productive as you can.

P.S. my production is improving and I have only 8 more days (including today) on the intensive 4 drug regimen. I was hopeless for years, and I can't even describe all the daily suffering, but somehow I stayed focused on doing whatever I could do to work myself towards eventually finding a cure. I don't think anyone who hasn't been suffering on a daily basis can actually know what you feel. You really have to experience it in order to really empathize.

Thanks for input. I cant wait to see all of this in code and see it running in the wild. That is the final test.

About my lack of sleep, I deprived myself on purpose because the night before I was still deciding what to do and couldn't sleep much, then the fuckers on the ETF delayed the decision for hours so I had to stay awake.
On top of that I somehow fucked up when I was putting the buy order in poloniex in USDT, I normally click on the amount I have if I want to go all in so it automatically fills all the fields to make the order with all of the USDT I had, but the order wasn't going through because the total was higher than the USDT I had by like 45 satoshis so I had to manually adjust the order, in a matter of second the price went from the bottom 950 back to almost 1000. I could have made a lot of money but I didn't risk enough and I was sloppy setting the buy order so missed some profit.
Anyway it was fun and I made money, now I wonder if there will be another speculative party in march 30 for the Solid X ETF.

Also I also feel better at night, I actually feel good and more lucid, in the morning im sloppy, after I have breakfast I feel like going to sleep again, bad cold tolerance etc. At night is great. If I knew how to code I would code at night and I could get shit done, but I can't code cause my brain is good at music and artistic stuff but I was always bad at stuff that requires the sort of attention and logic that good coders have.
I think it might me about cortisol levels or whatever. I can't get much done cause I don't have the money I would need to do proper research. At least I feel ok at night. I might try forcing myself to go to sleep earlier for a period and wake up early and get some morning sun and see what happens. Maybe I fucked up my circadian rhythm due staying up late too much and this has an impact on thyroid, cold tolerance etc... after I do this then I will get some labs done again, get TSH, t4, t3, reverse t3, antibodies, iron levels, and some other hormones, and a 24hour urine test with cortisol free and total, 17 ketosteroids...+ a couple saliva samples for a proper cortisol curve and see if this changed anything. If there is no positive adaptation and I see no improvement in the morning and cold tolerance then I will have to look deeper, adjust thyroid meds and whatnot. I also got a test where they look at hairs and see mineral levels and toxic levels with inconclusive results. The problem is, it is very difficult to find a dr that can interpret such results and follow your case by step and get involved, and if you do then you need to have a lot of money which I don't. Anyway I don't want to derail the thread, my case is not that bad, most people have sluggish thyroids nowadays, I would like to have better cold tolerance and better mornings but having optimal health is pretty difficult because healthcare drs usually will not take a case like mine serious so you need to find and and pay a good one.

Human psychology is very important. Blockchains are not just about cryptography. This is why you can't presume for example that Gregory Maxwell or Shen-noether are more important than someone (not referring to myself specifically) who is not a cryptographer or mathematician by training but is also not an oblivious anti-social nerd (and note I didn't put Vitalik in the class of anti-social, and his strong math, vision, coupled with his charisma is why Ethereum is a $billion market cap).

The following is a very important concept to understand if you want to understand why my design works.

I want you to note the weaknesses of voting is because voting is a centralized event that everyone is assumed to participate in. You are going to note that my protocol doesn't have such a centralized event, yet I posit my design does have altruistic prime and as well a Nash equilibrium.

Voting is power vacuum with very low informational content:





Some Iron Laws of Political Economics



What Paul Sztorc means by if voting were cheap (or free), then it wouldn't be possible to use resources to influence a critical mass if 100% were voting because they chose to on their own accord without influence. When voting isn't free, most don't vote on their own accord (they only vote if influenced by some ideology implanted in their minds by those who have resources). Vitalik Buterin also explained this:



Note afaics, Paul Sztorc has a math error in his explanation of his 2x2 prediction market:


That assertion will only be true if proportion of the holder's share of the winning square is greater than or equal the portion of his share of all the losing squares.


Btw, the centralization (i.e. it can be gamed) flaw in Paul Sztorc's idea to use prediction markets to gather information or consensus amongst possibilities, is per the concerns he mentions in his conclusion and also analogous to the flaw of the consensus-by-betting of Ethereum's research on Casper, is that the determination of the outcome either requires a centralized oracle to declare it or it is self-referential so thus it devolves and distills down to the essence of "might makes right" aka Byzantine agreement voting. This is why so far only Satoshi's PoW solved the self-referential aspect by referring to an external burned resource (electricity) but this resource is also subject to power-law aggregation of economies-of-scale.

Clarification.

I didn't intend to imply jambits is good. I wrote I'm not intending to renew the jambits domain and asked if anybody thought it was worth keeping. Jambits at least has "jamming" associated, so for a fun name associated with music app or other form of (social network) jamming. Shell associates with sea shells and wampum, which is afaics an archaic, primitive retrograded (low-tech) forms of money. Sea shells were I think money when man migrated out into the world from Africa along the sea shores because shell fish were an abundant, ready source of subsistence for nomads.

I'm not intending to discourage contribution and brainstorming. I am just being frank about my opinion. When I see an outstanding idea, I do acknowledge it.

I'm not sure why you think Shelbits/shellbits isn't serious while Jambits is, especially considering how many inventions bear the name of the inventor and one of the biggest companies on the planet is called Shell...but whatever.


As you did ask the you should know Jambits is on a par in terms of silliness with hello kitty coin. Lol.

It is likely your chronic illness that is causing that. I am also having lethargic cognitive function today. The fatigue has been hitting me in the morning after I eat breakfast and lunch. But then by afternoon or evening it improves if I eat dark chocolate. Don't have enough dark chocolate in the house today, so I am going to try a 2km run in the sweltering tropical heat at noontime instead.

Edit: just finished 2kms + 2 x 75m sprints. 30 - 31 C and 65 - 70% humidity is roughly 100 degrees heat index. But that is in the shade. I run in direct sunlight and the airflow doesn't compensate for the heat buildup due to the vigorous exercise. So figure 110+ heat index for me compared to sitting inactive in the shade. The highest heat index I ever experienced was in my 20s in El Paso, Texas of 100 F and 40% humidity so ~110 heat index. I couldn't workout in that temperature, it was unbearable even to breath. I got heat stroke in my late teens trying to work all day in 100 heat index on the top of roof tops.





The OpenShare token supply will increase to some unknown level of supply depending how many users join the system, then as transaction rate overtakes user joining rate, the money supply will decline perpetually eventually to fractions of a Satoshi but never reaching zero and never there being inadequate supply (due to infinite divisibility). The deflationary money supply is because transaction fees are burned, which is an essential technical facet of the solution that I posit resolves the problems plaguing blockchains.

So in essence the future money supply of OpenShare is ~0 tokens.    (Unless of course you never spend yours, then you could end up being the mogul)

But note, not spending has an opportunity cost. Those who spend to trade for gains or invest in ecosystem projects will attain a higher ROI, i.e. higher risk, higher potential reward. If whales that owned a very large chunk of the money supply refused to ever sell, then it would mean the world's wealth could not be represented only by that money supply, i.e. the free market would find other stores of value. So the whales would eventually lose proportional share of world wealth.


Defeating Gresham's Law

Gresham's law seems to imply that transactions would driven away from the deflationary currency to an inflationary (debased) currency, yet this would in theory drive the exchange value of the deflationary currency downwards (given demand to sell and the loss of utility of the currency which loses its crucial unit-of-exchange and concomitant public confidence attribute) which would thus counteract Gresham's law while also decreasing the rate of reduction of money supply (due to lower transaction rate, i.e. velocity of money) and drive transaction demand back to the deflationary currency. So there appears to be a dynamic equilibrium wherein the deflationary currency remains the choice for transactions. Also there is the technical issue that I don't think it is possible to design a decentralized consensus blockchain without burning transaction fees. Thus there would be no inflationary currency which is decentralized as an alternative. Even if consumers decide they don't mind using a centralized vehicle for transacting and retain the decentralized blockchain only for settlement, the problem is they then can't get decentralized publishing and smart contracts without using the decentralized currency. Gresham's law defeated. Lightning Networks defeated. Tada.  


Zcash

Doesn't Zcash still have a maximum of 21 million tokens?

It's the slow start which lead to Zcash having too high of prices at the start and declining prices as the initial demand was undersupplied and the after market demand is oversupplied.

As the rate of increase in money supply declines, eventually Zcash will find a bottom in price. I don't know what market cap Zcash will be, but some people think it eventually should be where Monero and Dash are now given the cred of the cryptographers on its payroll.

Zcash's initial supply was very low and its supply increased rapid at the start, so those who purchased early were overpaying much to the delight of those who mined early and the insiders who received 10% of the initial supply.

Extraneous domain name decisions. Those who are thinking about making apps are free to grab any of those expiring if you want (or contact me if you want me to renew it and transfer to you and you pay me). I am not claiming any of these are any good.

Does anyone like JAMBITS for the token name?


Sorry I don't like it. This isn't a game to me. I am creating something very serious that I expect millions or maybe billions of people to use. I just can't imagine them using shellbits.

If Poloniex gets hacked, BTC is going to crater again. More likely to happen at the $2000+ level if one presumes hacking exchanges is not just random and is the way big interests fight each other.

I have devised a technology that can eliminate the possibility for hacking exchanges, by keeping the control over the private key always with the owner of the tokens and employing a new variant of a payment channel I devised so the trades with the exchange can be executed autonomously and instantly without needing to wait for the blockchain.

So then all we need to do is get the exchange to adopt this technology but I expect they will be unwilling to do it, because I think the exchanges love trading with our tokens and love the ability to hack themselves and steal our tokens.

So therefor, I think the community is going to need to be ready to create a new exchange at some point in the future. Somebody should take advantage of this opportunity, because the investors will likely move to an exchange that provides this improvement in security. I can't do everything by myself. I don't want to create and run an exchange.

If you've wanted to compete with Poloniex and have the best exchange, maybe this will be your opportunity. If Poloniex will embrace the technology, then I will be pleasantly surprised.

I am going to be providing many opportunities for we the community to take back control and earn money in the process of advancing our individual power. That is one of my motivations and it ties back into why I think I can inspire people. (assuming my cognitive health will return to 100% so that I can fulfill my obligations/plans)

I admire those creative guys who make these Bruce Wanker videos:

How about the name Shelbies..........shortened to Shels as in Sats.

Also has that connection to Shells as in one of the first recognized currencies. I was kind of joking as I typed this but now I'm not so sure. 

I think the overall idea is how to write code that is both efficient, scalable, and can define these properties and operations in non ambiguous, easy to read and modify manner.

OpenShare sounds cool to me, it is clean and descriptive. Lucid sounds elegant, the SHARES token is also clean, descriptive, sort of like a standard. Personally I like 3 letter tokens  but I guess there is not much space left since due so many altcoins existing tons of token names are already taken.

Im not sure if I asked this since I have bad memory but I would like to know (you probably addressed this in other posts so you can just link it), if the model is deflationary or what, and what is the total supply, how coins are created, at what rate etc.

I think there is a psychological factor in how those variables are tuned. I think people tend to like total supplies that are around XX millions due bitcoin setting the precedent, and they expect bigger prices per unit that way, even tho ultimately all that matters is marketcap and it is the same if the supply was bigger, it would just be divided by a bigger number so the price per coin would be smaller. But like I said before, there is something psychological or something. In my mind total supplies like bitcoin weight more (as in physical weight), and bigger supplies like MAID or whatever, weight less... weird I know, but the feeling is there. Bitcoin makes me think of pieces of gold, and coins with huge amounts of total supply make me feel of something not as solid, more portable.
PoW also makes me think the coin is more heavy, PoS makes it weight less... etc.
I hope this makes sense, just want to know if you considered any of this. Maybe this is all irrelevant but I find those psychological perceptions into intangible things interesting and wonder if they really make a difference when investing. I know there's people that only invest in PoS coins, with XX millions total supply, a known total supply (no coin generation past that fixed number) and a coin release similar to bitcoin because otherwise they think it's a waste of time since they will not appreciate with time so they will not get rich. zcash was an example of a disaster when those parameters are not properly set, looks like the coin will stagnate forever regardless of its technology while the marketcap grows.

I know this post is sort of a mess cause I didn't sleep for 25 hours due the ETF so im going to bed. At least I made 1.5 BTC, USDT was good enough to get the job done without a poloniex verified account. I wish I risked more but oh well.

The main problem of c++ with this to me is that it can hide lot of implicit and potentially unefficient / unsafe code, even if it can give a better impression of readibility, it's not always that obvious to know what is actually going to be compiled and executed. And in the end, it doesn't solve that much core issues with dead locks, memory leak, good resources management etc. Just avoid certain mistake and synthaxic deficience of C compilers.

But the real main issue with multi thread is that with current operating system, you dont have that much hand on the task switcher, and cant control the execution schedule at all and with the interupt based preemption, it can switch to any thread anytime, and there is very little you can do about it.

There are potentially way to work around this, but it's long topic lol

With my micro kernel I recoded à task switcher,  and it can be easy to disable task switching during certain critical section, which avoid lot of problem with visibility of local states, and can give much more as3/js feeling with asynchronous call back rather than interupt preemption who can switch to anything anytime. Im not sure how this behavior can be adapted for execution of binary machine codr with current operating system kernel.

( http://www.emn.fr/z-info/bossa/acp4is-scheduling.pdf )

The best example of system like this i can think of is direct show with the filter graph, it allow good scheduling of execution with explicit  typing, using com IDL, and massive sur typing . But the code with c++ is still indigest lol and it needs to be in cahoot with the kernel & drivers to works well.


If you are looking for high level language the most basic made with all those issue in mind,  there the ACPI aml language, and there are open source interpreter,  it can give good idea of simple hardware level language who deal with smp, threading, timeout, events,interupt etc even if the synthaxe remain very basics,  it is still good lean & mean base for this kind of languages.

5.6 ACPI Event Programming Model

I don't have much tolerance for professionals who habitually waste my time (I'm tolerant within reasonable limits of course). This will become especially more true as my clarity of incisive logic is returning as my (cognitive) health improves. @keean is clearly very knowledgable, but afaics he feels it is okay for him to blame his lack of precise organization on me. We must be very incisive, organized and holistic in our technical posting, otherwise we cause a proliferation of noise and waste.

Two months (Sept, Oct) were consumed in 2016 (after weeks of prior discussion on the Rust forum) and nothing concrete to show for it.


Edit: I think perhaps this post helped pull @keean to understanding my mood and urgency.

Are you aware of 'Enigma' code which is used by Cloakcoin? It's a P2P, decentralized & off-blockchain mixing service. Users can voluntarily partake in helping others complete an anonymous transaction so no 3rd party required.

As I am reading back over the 3000+ posts of discussion between (mostly) @keean and myself from the September and October 2016 period, I was clearly getting very frustrated with the rate of progress + my illness and eventually had to quit at the start of November, so I could go focus on researching and writing the white paper, which I stopping working on at the end of December. January trip to Singapore, diagnosis, treatment began Jan. 21 and here we are early March and I am starting to regain my health and some of my clear mind and productivity (not 100% yet but there are encouraging signs).


The necessary productive work is done by collaborating with those who are also working at the same technological level. It is best if you are pretty much working decentralized (some minimal level of synchronization) and have a mutual incentive to collaborate on open source.

It is lonely when you can't actually code because of illness which was the case for me the past couple of years at least. Because the do-ers are not attracted to the talkers. For a former overachiever do-er who was handicapped by a illness acquired at mid-age, it is like a super-athlete with a speech impediment being put in a straight jacket. You go fucking crazy. But this problem appears to be melting away and damn does it feel good.

Again I think it is very difficult for someone to understand how someone could type yet not code. I don't know how to let someone who has never had chronic delirium understand it. You can't possibly understand that which you have not experienced. Tell the child to not touch the hot stove but they don't understand what the feeling of burn feels like. Once they understand it really fucking hurts for days, they have an appreciation which they lacked before the experience.

To experience chronic fatigue delirium for an extended period of time so you can appreciate the debilitating effects, I think you need to go give yourself a salmonella infection while also poisoning yourself with some toxins and double up with some amoebas and a few other GI infections and sustain this for about a month. Then maybe you'll have some slight appreciation. But do it for 3 years nonstop, then I'll consider you my health ailment peer.

Note there are those who are in a much worse predicament than me. I can't fathom their suffering. I suffered so much and I don't even want to remember it. So I see what these sufferers are going through and I can't even tolerate thinking about it. I feel for them but I don't even want to feel for them. I have no reserve of strength to suffer more (really if they didn't cure this I was getting tired of fighting) to even entertain the thought of suffering. I want to be far away from it for a long while. Perhaps the example of Jesus wasn't to emulate him but to realize he suffered for us, because we aren't capable of suffering all of it (no matter how strong we think we are). I am not becoming religious again, just saying.

If I will become wealthy, I think I must pay for the surgery for those who suffering such this man who will soon go blind without surgery to remove tumors from his face. How could you make this man a little bit happy. The gravity of it.



The world isn't so neatly ordered as we may want it to be. It is a journey, not a comparative level or one-right-way. High horses are for those too blind to see their pedestal teetering on stilts in quicksand. Babylon.

I need remind myself of this and stay grounded.
