Reading my newest thread in Altcoin Discussion reveals that none of the other designs improve upon Bitcoin in terms of the decentralization, permissionless attribute. And I strongly expect that designs without a block chain (Iota and eMunie) will be proven fundamentally flawed.
Open-transactions anyone?  Roll Eyes

You are an idiot.

That is payback for the :rolling eyes:

I just killed Iota. Here is the layman explanation:

wew just became aware of that thread, I have some reading to catch up on later.

I hope you do end up releasing something, it might spawn a few hundred or thousands of copycats, maybe improvements of your design.

While they are busy attacking the grandfather bitcoin over the next couple of years, everything we can throw on the G20's plate to give those scum extra headaches is a step in the right direction. Smiley

The key design fact is keeping the mining unprofitable. With that, the users will always be in control. Even if masses are dumb, we could always fork off into our chain. It keeps the fight alive and doesn't allow the government to keep us in one chain due to them controlling all the hashrate.

Then I add some things to that to achieve instant, microtransactions within a block chain. So it isn't so much different than Satoshi's design. Just an evolution but apparently with revolutionary improvement. We will see. I will write layman's explanations if I get it to fruition.

Is Bitcoin really still at $450? I am afraid to google the price. I still have some I need to sell and I thought I missed the boat. (I know I can google in 1 second but I am afraid to because that is my last funding source).

TPTB
While most of the detailed technical explanations you've outlined elsewhere are admittedly beyond my comprehension, as a layman, I like to believe I can appreciate the broad thrust of what you are aiming for. It is encouraging that you have found a fresh approach after the rather dispiriting news of the other day.

I'm sure many on here value being kept up to date with the project, but the continual battles you face with certain dogged egos must often make you weigh up the cost-benefit of these forays into the forum! But cheers anyway for taking the time to dip in and update us.

As OROBTC says above, keep doing your thing.

Have been keeping an eye on your recent activities with interest. Hope it works out, whichever path you find yourself on.

Appears I finally have the very viable design. I believe I am the only person who has a viable significant improvement to Bitcoin in terms of the decentralization, permissionless attribute. How valuable is that you think.

Reading my newest thread in Altcoin Discussion reveals that none of the other designs improve upon Bitcoin in terms of the decentralization, permissionless attribute. And I strongly expect that designs without a block chain (Iota and eMunie) will be proven fundamentally flawed. Just today I got started on finding the flaws I expect in Iota (earlier than I intended because I was being pressured) and posted about a candidate flaw. Sucks I have to be the bad guy. But seems nobody else does these sort of comprehensive analyses.

Note I have stopped working on anonymity for the time being. So Monero will be the leader in that space for the foreseeable future. I will come back to it if ever have a successful coin, then can investigate adding Zerocash which would be far superior.

But the big challenge after implementation (which isn't completed) is marketing and distribution.

So perhaps looking less likely MegaNet will ever get off the ground, if they have their way.

There are many alternatives vying to offer that:

http://thehackernews.com/2015/02/meganet-decentralized-internet.html

The fundamental problem with all current attempts is economics. Once the user can pay a microtransaction to access data, then these decentralized storage mechanism will have funding and won't have to do some silly trading of bandwidth. Once you make something profitable, people will adopt it like crazy. It is not economically enticing to just run it for no profit as a sharing mechanism.

So again, my work on decentralized permissionless, instant microtransactions blockchain is critical for advancing to the next step on everything we need to fight the totalitarianism on the internet.

You just keep on doing your thing, TPTB, we'll still be around when you are back.

The latest thing re totalitarianism I have been mulling is if .gov incompetence is greater or less than public incompetence (mix that in with indifference, oooh, I know: TOXIC!).  If .gov is pretty incompetent (vs. the public), then great!  If the public stays asleep, well...

They keep reaching though.  It will not be pretty in the next few years.

Hey all. I haven't been able to read the threads lately.
Hope you all have been keeping up with Armstrong's blog. I hadn't read it for past months.

I have been very busy. Hopefully I will have something to show for this not too many months from now and make you all proud.

OROBTC I don't have any spare time right now to organize any extraneous things. I will get with you on that after completing my major undertaking.

Hope 2016 is the year we make some big progress. Apologies I have been so slow.

Appears the global government is going to succeed in prosecuting Kim Dotcom...

So perhaps looking less likely MegaNet will ever get off the ground, if they have their way.

trollercoaster who is that homeless man you put on your avatar, lol. Are you teasing me about my future.  Cheesy

Another evidence that instant microtransactions are potentially a huge market:

The prosecution claimed that Dotcom used a large portion of its revenues to reward users, drawing more traffic to the platform by publishing copyright-infringing material. The site made $25 million from advertisers, while its main source of revenue were small payments from the millions of users, which totaled some $150 million.

Appears the global government is going to succeed in prosecuting Kim Dotcom.

We need decentralized block chains.

Fascism seems to be almost everywhere now.  All major governments are clamping down on anything they wish.  Especially on things that affect their power.

Peru is going the same way.

No escape?

Economic Totalitarianism, coming to all countries near you soon.

Yes but it's also mixed with leftist surface. It is fascism in the core but it has a leftist socialist surface to hide the fact.

You have to keep the masses discracted with welfare and leftist plans for the fascism to grow underneath.

Always a good idea to learn how to secure your communications.
I need to spend some time myself one of these days and familiarize myself with PGP encryption.

I look forward to your upcoming webpage OROBTC sounds interesting.

(Copy of my post in another thread, but probably relevant here)


When you get time, TPTB (I know, LOL...), let me know and I will send you my new Public Key (GnuPG) if emailing me via PGP encryption is of interest to you.

Same for you trollercoaster.  Anyone else, PM me, and we'll see.  Maybe I'll invite CoinCube to join in as well, maybe AFTER I get better at using this...

I have a new website that I am working on, my first one.  Right now there is nothing at the Home Page, in the next week or two or three I will start adding material for public enjoyment (a GnuPG tutorial (!), gold information (coin sizes, etc.), Peru photos, some basic Bitcoin info, etc.).

I will also (likely) have a "club" for those interested in "alternative investment", privacy ("for Dummies"), Bitcoin, and related topics.  NO, I will not ask for money, smile,,,

And, I will fairly soon set up a mySQL database with our company sales info (private of course).  Maybe other databases too should I go off in THAT direction...

So, there is nothing there now, that will slowly change.

Once I have an acceptable Home Page, I will announce my website.

It is a horrendous pursuit that only serves to highlight the neo fascism of Team America. They speak in euphemism and confound us with doublespeak and bullshit but the game being played here is simple; extradite Dotcom at the behest of the MPAA /USG and let him serve as a warning to any David wishing to take on the corporate interests of Goliath. If locking him away for 55 years can't be achieved, play the long game and bankrupt him. Lets face it, Huxley and Orwell have been bred like a Labradoodle - we live on a Brave New World surface with a 1984 underbelly.
