If you believe you are correct, then since I am not anonymous and my reputation is at stake, please provide your real identity so your personal reputation will be destroyed when you are proven to have been embarrassingly wrong in your ad hominem statements.

Btw, this isn't helping you. Astute readers can read and ascertain the level of my competence. Your remaining days of being not totally ignored are numbered.

Note I have flagged your post to the moderator since it is ad hominem trolling a technical thread. You provided no technical arguments.

Why do you assume my point was about altruism   Maybe I am just pointing out that I am more important than you belittle me.

Hey idiots as I had explained before in the quote below, the point is the investor can react to the market action with greater than 50% odds. You guys are too dumb to understand that a prediction for a static point in time with no conditionals, is a point sample and point samples are subject to aliasing error; thus MA does not provide such ridiculous point sample predictions. You try to force his statements to be point sample predictions, thus it is unsurprising that you see his statements as a failure. I won't bother to explain fundamental relevant science to you such as the Shannon-Nyquist Sampling Theorem, Fractals, and Chaos Theory, because you are too dumb to understand.

Armstrong is for smart people. The low IQ trolls need not apply.

Who is you? I had written the same point:

Because that is the easiest way to become filthy rich. And little people with big egos feel that money is their most important achievement.

Some few of us realize that most significant accomplishments require extensive sacrifice and hard work over a long period of time. But if it is a labor of love, then it fit those of us who want a more difficult challenge. Genghis Kahn would be a prime example, and I've read some statistic that something on the order-of-magnitude of 1 in every 5 people have his genetic code because he fathered so many children. The hard work was the wars he waged to unify Mongolia and advance the economy of his people by doing so.

Edit: I am not referring to Vitalik in either case above. He is smart math geek who got in over his head and is more like a kid in a candy store and fantasizing about technology but doesn't have enough experience yet to see the pitfalls in advance.

No possible doubt Shelᖚy is the smartest Man here. Absolutely no doubt his IQ is over 150.

The strange thing about him is that he's an EXTROVERTED GENIOUS, and it's very difficult for these two words to coexist in harmony:

As any other genious, Shelᖚy doesn't care and hates vulgar things from "inferior" people (althought he doesn't say it in public).

The "problem" is that he has an extroverted nature: he needs attention from others, he wants to share things with people, he needs appreciation from people.

And when this two concepts coexist together, the result is an individual as Shelᖚy: A genious that tries to communicate with other people but most times cannot do it because of the notorious "level" difference. Then, when he cannot communicate the way he would like to, he starts getting attention by "trolling" vulgar people (he basically tells them how idiot and wrong they are, with solid arguments).

The question is how is possible for Shelᖚy to be happy (in the sense of spiritual happiness).

The project he's working on pretends to fill this impossible spirit he has. He wants to create a thing that changes millions of people, and he wants to be recognized for it. That's all.


BUT Shelᖚy, you cannot do it alone, even if you have a +300 IQ. To be truly recognized, you must get people into your cause.

WHAT IS YOUR CAUSE?

I can never become anonymous again. If ever I earn a lot of money, my life will be somewhat destroyed as it is improved. It would be best for me to not earn too much money. Too much money makes you a target for the rest of your life. What I'd probably do if ever I have too much money, is start giving it away to projects I believe in. On the simplification on the communication side, this is sometimes very difficult to accomplish. It consumes times and effort. For some polished documents, it is worthwhile. My knowledge of "moon math" is not as high as other experts in crypto, but it is sufficient for my role. All major crypto projects hire a mathematician/cryptographer specialist. Note I could likely have become a mathematician, but my other interests and priorities interfered with that focus. I am not a polymath genius as in a Leonardo Da Vinci, Shakespeare, or Galileo. I am more at the level of a Mark Twain or George Washington. I just have a passion for what I like to do, and I like to juggle conceptual paradigms.

The general approach you take is correct of course, but you get several details wrong.
I'll give you some time to identify them yourself...

You are counting infinite regions which are not bounded:

http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55008.html

Those have no definable "area" as the question pertains. Thus I claim you are wrong and even the designers of the question are wrong if they expected your answer.

This isn't the first time I corrected the answer on an IQ test.  


Edit: tromp has a high IQ. That is quite clear. And he is afaik more formally trained in math than I am. I am not going to claim I am smarter than him. IQ is overrated any way, as was explained upthread.

It exhibits a very low IQ to not even fathom that a developer who is focused on technological issues and is off in his programming cave focusing there, may not care about the useless shit you P&D gamblers waste your time on.

So not conceiving of that obvious scenario due to your low IQ, you would then propose the ludicrous idea that I have Asperger's syndrome, when in fact I have demonstrated in this forum and in my career the ability to communicate socially with a wide range of people.

Just because I smash trolls like yourself as I am doing in this post, doesn't mean I am anti-social. Illogical. Your low IQ is evident for everyone now.

The guy who solves a 50 year old major problem in computer science and who is designing a new computer programming language is what is known as a 1 in 50 rarity top programmer:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14685179

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14698495

There aren't any 13 year old programmers on the planet who can match my computer science expertise. If you randomly picked 100 programmers, there is a good chance I am in the top 2.

Yeah don't bother your wasting his precious time anyway while he "codes" the bitcoin killer... lol

You need to learn macroeconomics.

Pegging the Yuan to the dollar, they were able to steal from their citizen's savings to subsidize a negative profit manufacturing industry. Read China expert Michael Pettis.

China bit off the dying Industrial Age. However there are network effects that come from this, such as moving up to developing software, etc..

But their manufacturing domination and oversupply (making the rest of the world uncompetitive by artificially depressing the international value of their own wages via the peg) was due to corruption and will cause China to have a meltdown until 2020, when they have finished rebalancing.

I agree with not whining. Compete. Hard to compete in manufacturing when China was gobbling up debt by repressing savings deposit interest rates and otherwise subsidizing their oversupply in manufacturing capacity. The reason Singapore exists is to hide profits offshore for these well connected fatcats who own the State SOCs (state owned enterprises).

Smart, but a paranoid sociopath would have been my choice.

I was not aware of the existence of such thread, but I now posted my comment there as well. Unlike yourself I am not comfortable writing walls of text and prefer to say things in a few sentences rather than in a few pages. I would leave it to others to decide whether my statement is accurate or not.

I can detect my health is really improving a lot, because I am starting to get back the energy (and thus mental locomotion, intense focus, and clarity) to make research level insights again.

Research level insight first published on Rust’s forum by myself:

https://users.rust-lang.org/t/high-order-function-with-type-parameter/3112/30

(Don't know if anyone else made this point in the prior art, I presume probably yes)

P.S. I doubt Bitcoin core devs can do the above, because programming language typing is not their area of specialization (especially the number theorists/cryptographers). We have different talents and specializations, so we need to learn to respect each other.

Haha. Good one. True. And I am always highly leveraged on my projects. And I've hit at least 3 homeruns already in my life. Being sick from 2006 to present (chronically since 2012), blinding of one eye end of 1999 with many months of followup surgeries, and a maelstrom of broken marriage/kids issues from 2001 forward, toppled my juggernaut applecart.

But I think I've got the Hotwheels back on the cart now...hopefully age 51 isn't too grandpa-esque...

Formal education is the way we perpetuate our mistakes forward. When I hire, I do not look at fake degrees. I look at the person and their thinking process. Samuel Butler (1835–1902) the iconoclastic Victorian-era English author, defined genius as “a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds.” If your child does not do well in school because they are bored rather than incapable of understanding such subjects, then they may be what people call a genius. Geniuses are often misunderstood in classrooms and are typically poor students whom teachers dislike because they are non-conformists. Studies at the University of Chicago and the University of Minnesota have found that teachers smile at children with high IQs and frown upon those with creative minds. When we had young people coming into the company who had to take their Series 7 exam, they would ask me questions. I quickly responded, “Do not ask me anything for if you do as I say you will flunk. Just memorize the answers, put them down, and then forget them and we will begin your REAL education in markets.”

The intelligent yet uncreative students accept conformity, never rebel, and complete their assignments quickly and perfectly. The creative child questions everything and accepts nothing. They are much more manipulative, imaginative, and intuitive growing up. They will often play one parent against another. In school, teachers dislike them because they will harass the teacher with questions that expose the illogical dogma they teach.

These genius children are often viewed as wild, naughty, silly, undependable, and lacking in seriousness or even promise. They even said that of Albert Einstein. Their behavior is typically distracting and they will often appear lazy, bored, and lacking any effort to try to advance, but in truth, they are absorbing everything around them. Such children will also give unique answers to banal questions because they are connecting the dots around them. Other children who are linear thinkers will typically reject these children which can cause them to be loners.

Ellis Paul Torrance (1915-2003) was an American psychologist who studied this subject and found that 70% of pupils rated high in creativity were actually rejected by teachers when picking a special class for the intellectually gifted. In a Stanford study, M.G. Goertzel, V. Goertzel, and T.G. Goertzel concluded that teachers would have excluded virtually everyone we consider to be a genius from Einstein and Edison to Picasso and Mark Twain. There is even a book on this called “The Price of Greatness: Resolving the Creativity and Madness Controversy” by Arnold M. Ludwig (1995) which explores the lives and achievements of over 1,000 extraordinary men and women. This book sought to answer the age-old questions about the relationship between mental illness and greatness. It also goes into factors that predict creative achievement in people. You will find a long list of very colorful stories about some of the most eminent artists, scientists, social activists, politicians, soldiers, and business people of our time.

Formal education is terrible. More than 60% of graduates cannot find employment in their field of study. Degrees are only useful to get jobs in brain-dead institutions that lack creativity themselves. Encourage your children to see the world dynamically and look for the connection between the dots. In ancient times, the key education was apprenticeship where you learned the field from the people actually doing the work rather than by those who lack experience. As they say, there are those who do and those who teach. I have been asked to teach at three of the leading universities. The problem is that I have no time. Those of us who really do things would find it boring and unfulfilling to simply stand up and teach a small class of kids. I might as well be a rock star singing the same song for 40 years (which is why rock stars need drugs to constantly do the same thing until they die).

And reading between the lines, can we expect a project with smooth and TPTB_need_war pair programming and altcoinUK as a project manager?

ASIC-resistant pure-PoW coin with many independent miners, fair launched, healthy distribution (objectively shown by high available liquidity), vibrant and inclusive open source project that demonstrably attracts developers, integrated into a privacy-centric development effort including the privacy-enhanced cryptocurrency and I2P router development, deployed and proven dynamic block size scalability, 2-year project and code maturity, well-defined governance, strong experienced core team with diverse skills, proven forum funding system (crowdfunding).

I just looked at the top 10 coins. None have a very strong subset of these qualities. There is no risk to Monero's differentiation in the foreseeable future.


I guess you are not aware of the active project underway, funded by the community, to complete development of a brand new GUI wallet. If you were I doubt you would characterize that as 'call for improvement' being ignored.

I had an inkling of that very early on when he shared with Fuserleer that he was using a memory mapped data structure from Java, which I can't remember the details now but appeared to me be a suboptimal strategy for the use case.

I don't know if he is inexperienced or just trying to accomplish with the least effort. He hasn't shared with any of us what he did before Nxt.

He is obviously efficient. Estimate how much money they earned on Nxt. But you can't build anything really significant via schemes which are not expanding the pie for everyone in the ecosystem.

This is why only main memory random access latency bound proof-of-work algorithms can potentially remain GPU and ASIC resistant. And they must be carefully designed so that increased computation can not be realistically traded for latency. One of the  challenges in such a design for a memory hard hash, is that very slow speed if you want the memory consumed to be larger than the SRAM caches of GPUs and ASICs. Ideally you want the computation to be very small, so that the electrical efficiency optimization of the ASIC won't be significant.

I will argue my statement was correct as stated, because there are other parties with significant resources and incentives who may not be mining normally but once the hashrate declines to the tail reward cost, they can then decide it is easier to attack the coin.

The better retort would be to argue that the as the adoption increases, the price will rise so the fixed size (in coins) tail reward has an adaptive valuation.

But I will retort that the value of shorting also scales up accordingly.

Rather what I do in my improved design, is to set the cost of mining to the reasonable fraction of the transaction value.

That is why I say the only way to solve the block chain Tragedy of the Commons is to require what is effectively a minimum transaction fee in the protocol. But then there is the problem of miners competing with each other to rebate the fee to the payer/payee so how to enforce a minimum transaction fee?

There is only one way to do that, which is to burn the fees. But if you burn them then the money supply declines to 0. So the only way is to burn hashrate. And that is why only my design which makes mining unprofitable will solve the problem.

Demonstrating my research on programming language (type) theory:

https://users.rust-lang.org/t/high-order-function-with-type-parameter/3112/8

https://users.rust-lang.org/t/most-coveted-rust-features/324/38

Or in short, why we probably don't need higher-kinded and higher-ranked types, but we do need first-class disjunctions and inversion-of-control ad hoc dispatch.

Hopefully you know that TierNolan is respected by the Bitcoin core devs and you can review the following thread where I explained to him and jl777 the only correct way to do decentralized exchange:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14078549

I solved one of the most important technical design issue that exists in crypto currency.

Just let me know how many examples you need, but I think that one is already blockbluster enough to demand your apology.

Now can I stop posting here and get back to my work?

How can an community wiki answer on StackOverflow have 1000+ up votes and have 19 edits by various superstars, and yet entirely miss the point that literal values are not Javascript Objects:

http://stackoverflow.com/posts/332429/revisions (see my edit #20)

Any way, a little bit of evidence for readers that I am polygot in programming languages. Also continued to demonstrate that today with another post to the Rust forum:

https://users.rust-lang.org/t/rust-as-a-high-level-language/4644/55

You are not paying attention because you don't realize he is not an experienced developer

I also don't understand how smooth is justifying his involvement with CC. I don't think he is being paid. I have only two theories:

1. It is a labor of love for him to be able to interface with a community, since I presume he otherwise worked a lot in FinTech. Perhaps he sees it dovetailing with FinTech down the line and is positioning himself to be an expert. If his true opportunity cost is $20 - 30K per month, then perhaps he is looking for the $millions homerun opportunity. Or just not really worried about money and doing it for other goals/interests.

2. (Wild ass theory only!) He is actually a mole of the national security agencies and is keeping tabs on everything for them. (I don't really think this, but I have a difficult time understanding why smooth is working in CC and the fact he is anonymous).

I think the business model of Monero from smooth's viewpoint is to build a superior design than Bitcoin and over the long-term have a payoff as the best alternative to Bitcoin. So it isn't just for the anonymity, but also for the ASIC-resistant hash function, the tail reward, the automatic resizing of the block size, etc..

(also because there are some technologically interesting bits in Iota, even if the overall design fails to really work without centralization, IMO).

I am not limiting my sights on just working with people from CC. I am interested in working with any great developers from outside of CC as well. I originally thought that perhaps CfB was one of those potentially talented developers, which was one of the reasons

Would you mind telling me what are your thoughts in the matter of the spirit?

LISK    Develop Decentralized Applications & Sidechains in JavaScript with Lisk!

Exactly why I don't investigate Lisk because then I am going to be attacked. Btw, smart contracts basically have no use cases that can actually work and sustain a decentralized Nash equilibrium (because block chains can only do that with data internal to the block chain, not external data). So I don't have to investigate to make a reasonable guess. And I did state it was a guess. I didn't state it was fact.

2. (Wild ass theory only!) He is actually a mole of the national security agencies and is keeping tabs on everything for them. (I don't really think this, but I have a difficult time understanding why smooth is working in CC and the fact he is anonymous).

I've always been sort of an impatient person because I have more things I want to do than I can do.
