The resolution apparently. Follow the followups at the following linked thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14032362
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14032362
You have failed to read the linked thread and understand the issue. Please report back after you have read the linked thread (not the Monero thread) and understood how a certain script can open the security hole for a rented 51% attack:
I had read that link but concluded that it was largely concerned with DE transactions; which boils down to a faulty script but that script not affecting the security of the chain in general, but only the funds involved in the script in the worst case.
Casper aside, I still don't see how programmable scripting in general weakens the security of the entire chain; if anything it's analogous to the cascade of invalidations related to the particular output of a double spend. Only that script and related scripts are at risk.
Okay I am going to explain this one time for those who weren't able to extract the salient point from what I wrote in the DE thread that I had linked to. And then after this post, I don't want to discuss any more shit on this forum (no insult/blame intended to those who have tried to have productive discussions with me including monsterer, which has been helpful and my sincere thanks is accorded in spite of any intermittent difficulties in attaining mutual comprehension).
The problem is that once you enable the ability to put hashes of private keys on the block chain and enable multi-sig where revealing those keys allows a designated party to spend the transaction to any one, when this depends on the order of confirmations, then it opens a way to fund 51% rented hashrate attacks. Now you claim this is only isolated to a flawed DE script and I say that there are unbounded number of unknown scripts which may expose similar ways to fund 51% rented hashrate attacks. Thus it is a generalized security hole. The only ways to close the security hole are to only allow miners to run scripts which have been vetted and authorized, but that then centralizes the control. The only decentralized solution I can think of is to use zk-snarks to run the scripts in a black box in homomorphic zero knowledge so that miners can't see the data stored on the block chain. The only other solution would be analyze all the permutations of Op codes and be sure that all culprit op codes were removed.
This is why I had sent a private msg to Gregory Maxwell, yet he says my msg is incoherent, because he didn't even take the time to understand, because I allege/observe he is an overconfident cocky destroyer of Bitcoin and destroyer who knows what else (in spite of apparently being very proficient at designing efficient algorithms for sound compression and apparently also reasonably expert at cryptography and much more so than me at both of those).
Ethereum's even more generalized scripting will be much more vulnerable to this.
The security hole funds an attacker to 51% attack a coin. This affects not only the unwinding of derivative transactions (which could span most of the coins if the attack is lie-in-wait long enough) and also impacts all the coins in terms of loss of value due to the market reaction to a 51% attack and also enables the attacker to do some double-spending while he is attacking. Also we can't characterize all the types of scripts which might create such losses and thus be directly impacted by stolen coins.
I replied to Gregory at where he had moved my post to:
I am not an expert on streaming media and have just begun my research, but it seems to me that your quoted benchmark is assuming many seeks will be done on the stream. But there are cases where the user wants to only skip once or twice into a song as they are sampling the music for the first time, which is my use case. For that case, the lack of an index is afaics horrific because there will be the latency of some roundtrips required to optimally locate the seek position (by a bisection sampling method) and wasted bandwidth as well.
There are many complaints about the lack of an index found on Google search. In particular I note the "Random Access" section of a list of complaints about the Ogg container design.
You apparently assume your container is only going to be used for live streams.
So you are saying Ogg is not designed as an optimal archive format. You could have instead made the index optional.
Hey the resolution could be a configurable parameter so programmers can decide the tradeoff that is ideal for their application. Since when should you decide for them.
Seems you are excluding use cases.
I am getting the idea now after several times interacting with you, that you are clearly better at math than I am but I am better designer than you. You seem to pigeon-hole often. Perhaps it is the heads-down quality that is required to have the patience to learn all that math?
I recognize your intellect and attention to detail, but you seem to also be inflexible which is not the trait of the best software designers I've known in my life. I am guessing that maybe you are strongly German cultured and need everything neatly ordered in your own space. Note I have some German ancestry (and it shows sometimes in my perfectionism at times), but I also am a mix breed of French, Celtic, and Cherokee native. I think this makes me more creative/flexible than you. Not that I often think about comparing ourselves, just at times like this where you disrespect others (and then somehow expect they would respect you
).
Perhaps you were not intending to disrespect me in this case, but I think the past track record (see link above) is what leads to this tension which is ready to blow at any time. Also I holding you to a higher standard w.r.t. to this crap that you seem to be foisting with Segregated Witness, because you hold everyone else to such a higher standard and even threatening them of being scammers without sufficient proof (again see my link above). Perhaps I should realize this is just the German trait and brush it off my shoulder. I think the less we interact the better. Thanks for the reply and I wish your orderly orderness didn't rub me the wrong way. Sorry I am about as compatible with a German as I am with shooting myself in the head. I love freedom which means stop stomping on others. I am a sheepdog which means I will fight those who I perceive are oppressing freedom of expression. Hey I understand what it is like to deal with trolls and in that case I would support the swift action since trolls only aim to disrupt, but I wasn't trolling you.
I know I read something about Rust and one of your two names mentioned, but I forgot the specifics and couldn't locate it again readily with a Google search (at least not on Tim's name).
Okay I could understand the incomplete typing of Rust (as compared to say for example Haskell or Scala) would not be the priority when wanting to get as close as possible to the metal while having some higher level functionality not provided by C.
Any way, as I said, the specifics of my former criticisms have been mostly forgotten by myself. I would need to refresh my memory. I think the flaw was w.r.t. to declaring the invariants for class members in the class methods if I am not mistaken (but that is very vague so I might be recollecting incorrectly).
The container is very efficiently seek-able over the network, in fact. But your implementation must be sufficiently intelligent.
Here are some benchmarks from the opusfile library, On a 25 hour long variable bitrate audio recording performing 1000 jumps to exact sample positions with no caching:
Total seek operations: 1873 (1.873 per exact seek, 4 maximum).
So an average of less than two operations, and in the worst case 4-- meaning even with a 100ms RTT a worse case seek will not cause a noticeable delay. (and obviously, if it cached, it would be much better).

There are many complaints about the lack of an index found on Google search. In particular I note the "Random Access" section of a list of complaints about the Ogg container design.
And this requires no indexes which require the file be written in multiple passes or that it only be seekable when it's "finished"-- a live stream is seekable while it's being recorded.
You apparently assume your container is only going to be used for live streams.
So you are saying Ogg is not designed as an optimal archive format. You could have instead made the index optional.
I think the seeking performance, given a good seeking implementation, is pretty good, and it's often more efficient than other less flexible containers even when they have indexes-- because to keep their indexes reasonably sized they're not high resolution-- and getting them requires seeking to the end or a rewrite of the file. To the extent that an average near 2 is less good than 1 might be with a perfect index, that is a cost for the streaming functionality, and I think a reasonable one.
Hey the resolution could be a configurable parameter so programmers can decide the tradeoff that is ideal for their application. Since when should you decide for them.
I didn't design the container, but if I did-- I might have only added an additional back-reference or two at each page; I wouldn't change how seeking works.

Tim hasn't really had anything to do with Rust-- I had some infinitesimally small influence on the language (lobbied successfully for overflow of ordinary signed types to be defined as an error). Rust has some nice properties for cryptocurrency infrastructure: in particular it has no overhead, deterministic operation, with high levels of safety enforced at compile time. These things matter for decentralized cryptocurrency, since speed is also a security consideration.

I am adding now the fact that I sent Gregory a private message about this yesterday or the day before that, before he posted about this new invention. I also note that weeks ago I posted to Sean Bowe on the Zcash forum the importance of zk-snarks for smart contracts.
I also note that I the one who recently exposed that Segregated Witness is a Trojan Horse designed to enable Blockstream to take over Bitcoin by enabling them to version the block chain with soft forks. They are trying to push their technologically flawed Side chains in through the back door. Thus it is not surprising that Gregory has deleted my post (and somehow it didn't even appear in my Inbox as it normally should, so he must have some super moderator powers on this forum).
I am sorry folks to inform you about the very deep level of corruption in Bitcoin runs to the core.
Okay Gregory send your hitmen. I am ready.

Your post wasn't deleted. It was entirely off-topic (going on about an audio format, in a thread about a cryptographic protocol.. had nothing to do with Bitcoin) and ended up getting moved to the off-topic subforum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ogg-opus-1378533 . I even responded to it.
I failed to see how (even if my comment about using Rust is considered off-topic, which also seems to be arguably relevant to jl777 asking if the source code is in C and your reply that it is in Rust and C++), that the following comment is off-topic and why it deserved to be removed from the thread within 60 seconds of my posting:
Btw, I applaud the effort to develop zk-snarks for smart contracts. I believe it is absolutely necessary per the revelation in the "cut & choose" thread which if you think about actually has implications for any scripting on a block chain.
I am glad to see the post ended up some where. Unfortunately you were very slow to provide any indication of where the post had been moved to, orders-of-magnitude slower than your frantic < 60 second effort to remove my post from your thread. Hiding something? Don't want your reputation to be in doubt?
I was actually recognizing your accomplishments. I have no idea what brain damage you sustained in childhood which causes you to be so anti-social and controlling acting as Hitler even when you are technically wrong, but of course it probably has something to do with the fact that I have on numerous cases revealed flaws in your work, and the latest one being uncovered the scam of the Trojan Horse Segregated Witness that Blockstream is attempting to foist onto to Bitcoin.

Yes that is the private message I was referring to.
Well you better take time to understand the issue (unless you are just bluffing and pretending you didn't take the time to comprehend the point that is linked to in the private message), because otherwise I will have yet another technological insight that you ignored by which I am going to use to replace Bitcoin with.
Gregory Blockstream's $70 million won't help you. Because you guys are so overconfident that you ignore the work that other people are doing. And that is perfect. Just as it should be.
But I guess I should be glad you've exposed yourself as a shameful liar. Again.
Lying about what? I guess you've exposed yourself as a vindictive, hyperdefensive Hitler again. What else is new?
I designed the protocol used here in _2011_, Sean has been working on this implementation since last November-- even the git history goes back to Dec 4th... These sorts of things are not accomplished in days. You owe Sean and the members of the forum a retraction.
A retraction for what? Did I claim you haven't worked on your stuff before yesterday?
Btw, the work you've done is not complete to handle the case I am referring to in the private message. So now go re-read my statements in light of that fact and see who is making false accusations here.
You've been banned from the technical sub-forum in the past under your prior identities. If you don't want to be again, please get some control over your behavior.
Oh go fuck yourself. I don't give a fuck about your little Hitler technical discussion forum serfdom where you stroke your little spoiled prince cock. I will meet you in the $trillion market for crypto coins, where I am going to teach you a lesson little boy.
I'd challenge you to a boxing match, but you wouldn't make it past 15 seconds.
Given our understanding of the brain has gone away from the Freudian equivalent of blood letting to mapping and chemical diagnosis of maladies in the last fifty years, I doubt this is the technological leap anyone is making it out to be--especially when more of our day to day information is being tracked and to a greater degree (who's to say people in five years won't be monitored 24/7 and have that data plugged into a database that could be incorporated when dna brain simulation exist--not to mention that most psychology is tilted towards the belief that genetics is the most determinate factor in who a person is (usually citing the overwhelming similarities in identical twins separated at birth with dissimilar locations and family elements). I'd rather not get into a debate, so let's just leave this here, and in ten years, see if brain simulation is as plausible as holodecks and android body parts controlled with our minds have become in the last ten years.
I`m not saying building a sophisticated AI is impossible, far from it.
I`m only saying that this mind control or mind reading stuff is impossible.
Building an AI to emulate human behaviour and reading the mind of a human is totally different things, and the latter is impossible.
Why? Because the mind is a web of quantum-electric phenomena, and we know from quantum physics that it's impossible to localize particles, therefore any info that is stored in this domain is impossible to grab.
Dont worry God or whatever made this universe has made sure that the government wont get hold of your mind
I can wait ten years to be right.
(An AI to emulate human behavior misses what the singularity is about--the singularity is that threshold when the organic brain can't process the technological world around it and will need artificial apparatus to keep up--nanobots being the current leader in what's being developed to achieve this--most likely we don't create an AI, we become an AI with more and more of our functions (brain and body) being processed by artificial means--and yes, most likely to 100% given enough time. So doubtful these uber humans will have any more trouble simulating our current organic brain, with a fair degree of accuracy, than that of a rat. Though this line of thought gives me hope that technology keeps pace in the privacy front as well--to where the technology that allows us to read thoughts also allows us to mask them. On the other hand, my reading on capitalism and acceleratism makes me think that we will become more and more integrated with a centralized network to the point that one cannot realize themselves from the machine, but given the cliche' of becoming one with the universe, perhaps this is the best state we can hope to attain--)

"Oh ... Maria"...
Yaah, old age does kind of suck...
Suck she did.
Are sure it was the lake? I thought you said you had rented a vessel for fishing off the Pacific coast of Peru? Can you remember the name of that vessel, "Maria ..." something Maria. Oh wait, Maria was the housekeeper Old age sucks.
Old age sucks.Yaah, old age does kind of suck indeed (but, think of the alternative). I just turned 60. And names DO keep getting harder to remember...
You have a message directing you to a fun article, I was invited along on something nice in 2012.
Are sure it was the lake? I thought you said you had rented a vessel for fishing off the Pacific coast of Peru? Can you remember the name of that vessel, "Maria ..." something Maria. Oh wait, Maria was the housekeeper Old age sucks.
Old age sucks. I have always agreed with your 5% of net worth in physical gold for SHTF scenarios, but sorry to hear about the boating accident. Yeah my 18,000 oz of silver disappeared too.
Fuckin' A! These PM accidents seem to be happening everywhere. Seems like some kind of new worldwide rash or other disease. Maybe I should measure my head to see if I have Zika or Chaga or sumpin...
I hope that any guns & ammo you may have did not suffer a similar fate (mine were lost while ice-fishing, fell right through the hole, and I forgot which lake). And I always thought that bringing along my hard assets with me was a much better idea than leaving them hidden in some dark place at home or at my office.
EDIT:
One of my old blog readers had something similar happen to him (his comments in italics, hey at least he caught a walleye):
I mentioned above my reader "GB", the one who advised me not to bring a knife to a gun fight. Well, it looks like he is one of legion who has suffered a loss of his gold, but under slightly different circumstances. I sent along my sincere condolences. Please read his sad story below:
"Don't know if others will find the humor in our exchange. Too bad.
Thanks for the warm pictures. Here in the northern plains, winter so far has been relatively mild. We've experienced a less than average number of days with bone chilling deep-freeze-like temperatures...and January is nearly complete.
Good thing you didn't take your PM's with you on the boat. Seems PM's and water (even when it's frozen) don't mix. I recently lost all of my PM's while ice fishing. Not exactly a boating accident like so many others are reportedly experiencing, but still painful and costly...and water related. Like a fool I took my stash with me on my little fishing adventure, figuring it'd be safer with me than at home in it's usual hiding spot. In hindsight, that was a very bad decision. Well, one thing led to another, and one beer led to another dozen or more, and I'll be damned if I didn't drop my stash and watch it fall right into the hole and through the ice as I was fighting a fish. It was a tragic loss...but I did manage to land a nice walleye. So the day wasn't a total bust. I just wish I could remember on which lake I was fishing."
TPTB, you know my name, my blog article can be found using my FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, "blog", "sailing" via Google.
I have always agreed with your 5% of net worth in physical gold for SHTF scenarios, but sorry to hear about the boating accident. Yeah my 18,000 oz of silver disappeared too.

Well, we'll see happens!
I just Copy 'n' Paste-d your above comments into a file, you know, just in case they get lost somewhere.
Sort of like the way some of my, erm, Hard Assets are sitting on the bottom of a lake due to, um, an unfortunate event. Damn! Boating accidents and controversial statements just have a way of being "disappeared".*
* Sort of like people in Argentina used to get...
EDIT: Perhaps you might agree that some gold is a good idea after all for us wankers not ready for primetime in altcoins and similar technology. Gold outlives them all...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14023976
Note the link the prior post was deleted by Gregory Maxwell, so here is the replacement post:
Let's try to this again. I thought I made this post before:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14023976
But it disappeared and never appeared in my Inbox as "deleted by a moderator".
So let me try to reconstruct my post from memory.
Basically I said that I have been looking into Ogg Opus which Gregory Maxwell was an inventor of. I thanked him for producing that and with the word "kudos". I explained that it appears the Ogg container format was designed with a flaw in that it doesn't contain markers for jumping forward in a stream efficiently over a bounded bandwidth connection such as the internet. I said I presume that wasn't Gregory's area of responsibility.
I also stated that Timothy B. Terriberry was apparently Greg's colleague on the Opus project and apparently Timothy B. Terriberry was involved also with Mozilla and I think I also read he is involved with the development of the RUST language. I found this to be curious because I remember some years ago writing some criticisms of RUST's typing of invariants when it was first conceived. I stated I would endeavor to locate my criticisms from several years ago and see if they still make sense (I believe so).
So I said it is not surprising to see Greg experimenting with the Rust language.
I also commended Greg et al for exploring zk-snarks for smart contracts as I think my comments in the "cut & choose" thread have demonstrated the critical requirement for such for scripting in general.
I am adding now the fact that I sent Gregory a private message about this yesterday or the day before that, before he posted about this new invention. I also note that weeks ago I posted to Sean Bowe on the Zcash forum the importance of zk-snarks for smart contracts.

I also commended Greg et al for exploring zk-snarks for smart contracts as I think my comments in the "cut & choose" thread have demonstrated the critical requirement for such for scripting in general.
I am adding now the fact that I sent Gregory a private message about this yesterday or the day before that, before he posted about this new invention. I also note that weeks ago I posted to Sean Bowe on the Zcash forum the importance of zk-snarks for smart contracts.
I also note that I the one who recently exposed that Segregated Witness is a Trojan Horse designed to enable Blockstream to take over Bitcoin by enabling them to version the block chain with soft forks. They are trying to push their technologically flawed Side chains in through the back door. Thus it is not surprising that Gregory has deleted my post (and somehow it didn't even appear in my Inbox as it normally should, so he must have some super moderator powers on this forum).
I am sorry folks to inform you about the very deep level of corruption in Bitcoin runs to the core.
Okay Gregory send your hitmen. I am ready.
Note this copy is being copied all over the place so it can't be deleted.
Trump endorses NSA and is againt Apple's petition to protect encryption. Now he joins with Christie who was staunchly pro-NSA in the prior debates:

Trump will destroy our privacy. Armstrong is incorrect to assume the elite don't like Trump. They love Trump for he will start WW3 and fuck us all with NSA totalitarianism. Either that, or he will alienate so many voters so Sanders or Clinton wins. The USA is fucked in any case.
One of my friends used the 23andme service a couple of years ago (sending in both material from him as well as his wife), before it was clear that genetic info was at risk to being turned over to .gov. He got a lot of interesting information (including a surprise that his wife may have some TAIWANESE ancestry -- she doubts that and has no Oriental features at all).
He also found certain propensities to health problems and other factoids. He still gets an occasional update from them when they invent a new procedure.
I WAS interested. Now not so much.
Our .gov has proved over and over that you give them an inch (one iPhone's password info), and they want a mile (tap into iPhones to catch a drug dealer).
Same reasons I didn't try it, also this.
"They sold you a $99 DNA test. You paid money for it. Because you paid money for it, they now have data they can collate to sell to other people for lots and lots of money. You won't ever see a dime. In essence, 23andMe got you to pay for their startup costs, and now they're looking to make a mint on the personal data you paid to give them."

That's also what I think. A brain is way to complex to replicate.
But I still believe that this domain could be useful in certain more vague domains, because you would only need to simulate an "average" approximative brain. This could be useful in a lot of ways, but would not be a "hard" science, a bit like economic previsions.
They already do this it's called psychology....
If you are interested in the average behaviour of humans, you should study that, many things can be predicted by that.
So it's nothing out of the ordinary here, but from this quantum mind reading technique, i dont think it's physically possible.
A couple of powerhungry people want to be gods, but they will soon realize that it will not happen.
Given our understanding of the brain has gone away from the Freudian equivalent of blood letting to mapping and chemical diagnosis of maladies in the last fifty years, I doubt this is the technological leap anyone is making it out to be--especially when more of our day to day information is being tracked and to a greater degree (who's to say people in five years won't be monitored 24/7 and have that data plugged into a database that could be incorporated when dna brain simulation exist--not to mention that most psychology is tilted towards the belief that genetics is the most determinate factor in who a person is (usually citing the overwhelming similarities in identical twins separated at birth with dissimilar locations and family elements). I'd rather not get into a debate, so let's just leave this here, and in ten years, see if brain simulation is as plausible as holodecks and android body parts controlled with our minds have become in the last ten years.

Brain structure is also based on what you lived and your previous experiences and there is no way to efficiently replicate them.
Even if you manage to replicate 99.9% of someone's brain the 0.1% difference might give you huge differences.
But they might replicate social tendencies and trends based on this kind of technology, but we probably won't see this in the current century

Its impossible I tell you, there is too much random quantum fluctuation in a brain to copy it.
Its like cracking infinite passwords at once just to read the information from there.
You have to be a God to do this.
It`s more likely that a meteor hits the earth and we all die.
