Topic: Do you think "iamnotback" really has the" Bitcoin killer"? - page 27. (Read 79971 times)

Like the Joseph Jei Ted talk. While I've got nothing in me in area of Bitcoin/technology I can relate to having a nagging 'calling' passion, call it what you want that I have been procrastinating about for some years now and have to make some moves in the right direction soon. I dunno if everyone has the 'big thing' in them in fact I'm pretty sure most don't cause I met so many people who are happy with the small mundane daily joys and seem to want nothing beyond that.

The big test I think for real leaders in any sphere is you have tho put up with a lot of misunderstanding. You can talk your vision as much as you want but most won't get it or simply won't be interested in it (thats cause vision is so individual) only a few and they are the ones in your sphere you need to collaborate with I guess. Stating the obvious I know but we all need nudging along the pathway and cheerleading sometimes, we're human after-all...and all real vision is always reaching for something that seems at times impossible.....thats the point, it has to push past what is already known or done. Vision is often a lonely business.

That's exactly the principle I follow in my framework. The over head is still ok. My goal was to get performance on same scale than js, and Im more than there, even with the thread safe runtime. Still much slower than direct access, did test with the raytracer & +10millions access / sec, using this tree system for all single variable was 5/10 times slower than direct binary access, but with the benefits it has regarding control of data state, easy conversion from arbitrary json/XML,  and memory safety, it still worth it for anything that is potentially sharable, and for really fast local access, can always use compiler built in type & direct pointer.

Ive been experimenting with this concept a lot, and outside of the still ok runtime overhead, but with now day cache & all it is ok, and it provide only benefits, as well for low level programming, pci bus, drivers, usb, hid etc to application level & network protocol, it's super useful on every level and solve lot of problem with a good runtime especially to bridge between low level & high level, even to have layer that need to transport complexe object or tree being blind to the data, like message processing, or with json rpc, in a completely low coupling manner.

The pb is C and C++ lack too much runtime meta data to be useful as it for multi thread. It has to use some part in asm like memory barrier, atomic operations, or thing like openmp or language extension to understand the multi thread / dapp problematic. C11 is supposed to fix some part of this, but when ..

And there is not really good general purpose language who really fix all the issues.

I felt I had made enough progress to spill some beans over at Eric's blog:

Okay that last post seemed to kickstart the open source process. Now I have at least one person contacting me asking about starting to develop apps now.

So it is almost time for me to start a Slack group and kickstart the community. But I have some more ground work to do first. So I'll try to be quiet for a while so I can get more done.

8 - 11 more days on the intensive 4-drugs, and my daily productivity is ramping up.

Agreed. Never been entirely comfortable with that name. Sounds amateurish (like a board game?). It even feels better to write XMR. (Monero is a technologically sophisticated project with current best-of-breed attempts at decentralization, so the name doesn't seem to fit)

For the open blockchain (i.e. target demographic are the investors, developers, serious participants, and the notion of a new decentralized protocol on the Internet perhaps as revolutionary as the Internet itself), I am already pleased with the name OpenShare. Much better IMO than Steem and better as an open protocol name than the user focused name LBRY.

For the programming language, I've suggested Lucid, Next (or Nxt), Copute, or Async. I predict either Lucid or Async as the likely choice.

On top of the OpenShare blockchain, we will need to build some initial apps which are the face of project from the perspective of the masses who will be joining. Think of the distinction between Steem the blockchain and Steemit the blogging app on the open blockchain.

We currently have a five letter domain name (with a .us extension) which I purchased (for $325) and registered in August 2016. I am not mentioning it because the afair, the .net extension is for sale for roughly $10,000. And the .com is no longer in use by the company who bought out the company who used to use it. Thus it might be purchasable. This name is very brandable and it applies to place where one can find many things and activities they want (and the .us fits IMO in a social context). The name is on par I think with Twitter in terms of brandability.

However, I am not sure if I am entirely satisfied with that 5 letter domain as the initial public face of the project for the masses. I am still contemplating this.

Also the token unit name for OpenShare I suppose will be SHARES. But we also registered the eca.sh domain (years ago) and we've done some research on the history of that name and the trademark and feel confident we can use it, if we wish to.

The conceptual idea of SHARES would be that users come to view their tokens as a reflection of their SHARE of (investment in) the sharing on the Internet. But maybe we come to a conclusion that it is better to emphasize the transactional capability so perhaps ecash, gas, ...

But I like the concept of rewarding each other with a recognition of their sharing value, e.g. “I am paying you 10 shares because I appreciate/value/need what you shared”.

I'd like to see GitHub and other centralized repository sites replaced with a decentralized protocol and apps on top of OpenShare. That will give you some idea of the powerful concept contemplated. The intent is to turn the Internet upside down, where the servers become powerless slaves fulfilling the End-to-End principle and the users (collectively) become the only crucial parts of the system.

This is why it is essential that the consensus design scale decentralized. Something afaik no one else has yet figured out how to do (I can't comment about unreleased designs that I don't know in sufficient detail, e.g. eMunie).

Which has security flaws.


Which some have alleged was a "scam".

When I see guys showing demos in videos instead of code, I know I am not looking at top quality coders. The name "Shannon Code" was a "fluff, no substance" warning sign. There is a remote chance my quick intuitions are incorrect, but I'll wait for some evidence rather than waste my time digging.

If they need closed source at the start, then why all the marketing hype on their Medium page. Seems to me they are more about raising money than accelerating a paradigm and open source collaboration.

Because it is all they are capable of, i.e. it is their form of accomplishment. And they will waste the time of those who are more capable, if we allow them to do so.

True, name is very important. The project needs a cool name. Bitcoin is amazing, nice, simple, clean, it works.
Dash also got a good view on the marketing here, going from darkcoin to Dash was definitely a good change.
Monero sounds kinda funny to me.
Litecoin has a good psychological factor for "silver coin", of course being the "original alt" also helps.
Ethereum is a pretty cool name, too pretentious tho, but it fits the very ambitious project. It sort of sounds like "Elysium" or "Skynet", something scary. "World computer" they call it, fucking Vitalik, what a crazy guy. Unfortunately, maybe it is actually too pretentious and ambitious and that is its main mistake. We'll see.

So yeah, you must find a good name.

Until the late 90's it was still different imo, because internet was restricted, with 56k etc it was not really common to stay connected all day, and it was still expansive /hour, so mostly you would just go on the irc or forum to reach someone you really need to reach or ask a question and disconnect. After with adsl and all the h24 connection and messenger, now the social networking, it become a bit information boulimia :p and too much time wasted in drama, and social / ego issue, I remember at first how the noob were mocked as Blogger who spend their day talking their useless opinion or life on blogs :p now it's hard to find a place where people really talk about project and not who they know, who they follow, or empty Dick contest and drama. Now it's like ten trolls fud der paranoaics and fan boy for 1 tech post at best lol

I think Loyyal is not open source, the platform is centralized I guess, they are moving to counterparty chain. Seems they just use blockchain to organize the complexity of keeping track of loyalty programs, it's a business just utilizing blockchain rather than a crypto project it seems to me.

I won't defend them anymore cause I don't know his coding talent beyond he worked on Mastercoin and the Loyyal platform. just thought him and Michael Sullivan who first coined the term crowdsale are the kind of guys you mentioned on one post, good guys that act dependable without the hype that you might be looking for. They are busy with Coval and Loyyal anyway. You don't need to reply.

Agreed with the guy about emunie.. it's not that bad but... what he said

I hate the name Monero for example (and many others around here)
Shit like Lisk ? ugggh 

You need the code AND a good name too ! Bitcoin ? come on.. that was golden !

And what have a i been doing ?
Eatin' cereal ..munchies are important business !

But i stopped working on crypto related code a couple years ago and deleted most of it.
I tend to work on Mobile related stuff with Android now.
Working on cracking Android APP's with SMALI or fixing up a program using CSharp.
I also learned long ago not to bite off more than i could chew.
When i was younger i started working on a video game.. later abandoned because i realized it was too much work for one person.
I'd say it's comparable to creating the Bitcoin Killer.. right on the edge of being too much work.
Especially if you spend too much time talking on forums.
For example i had worked with some groups before cracking games & app's and i would get pissed off because people would nag you or lure you into chatting on IRC etc.. when i just wanted to work on the code.

I am not sure Shelby here has got the discipline.
And that is a coding skill

I look forward to seeing what you've been working on.  That being said I hope you would be willing consider a name change, because non-phonetic names have less potential to go viral.  If I heard someone talking about eMunie on that train I'd have no idea how it was spelled (could be eMoney, Muney, Monie, Monee, etc) and would be less likely to have it come up in a google search, Steem is a bad name for the same reason (the existence of the gaming platform Steam hasn't done them any favors either).  Bitcoin is great branding; self descriptive, easy to spell/remember, and unique.

Hey, just curious....whats 'Buzzfuck antics'?

Those as is 'have done something' keep up sweetheart. 

Depends if the cofee machine is in the same room :p

You just did, you dumb noob. LOL

Nothing, just like you. But I don't attack those who do...

As if anybody knew what Satoshi was doing until Nov 1, 2008:

Even if I tried to explain the detail of what I am doing, you would still think it is nonsense because it is all gibberish to you.

Ha. That would be ironically funny, if it wasnt so tragic.
Ok, my dog has stopped shitting on your lawn now. Good luck, whatever it is you claim to be doing.
