If i can't acquire native tokens except by willingly submitting to a centrally issued extortion scheme, then it's a permissioned ledger.  

Say hello to Bitcoin mining pools...

I agree with Fuserleer that Bitcoin is gradually losing its decentralized attribute because of the economics of mining, as the economies-of-scale increase and the block reward decreases.

Monero is ostensibly more decentralized because it is early stage and hasn't yet scaled to great economies-of-scale in mining, e.g. there is no ASIC available yet afaik.

However I don't know how eMunie plans to obtain a more wide and competitive distribution than proof-of-work. And is that topic really appropriate in a thread about me.

I've stated why I no longer like ICOs. I'll leave it at that.

That's the funny part about it.  When people complain that others are able to acquire coins at a better marginal cost, they're essentially saying they don't like free market systems.  Ironically, the first sign you have a free market is that cartels and monopolies form.  Economy of scale is just something you have to deal with and the only other option is to remove the private sector monopoly power and hand it to the government instead.  Private sector cartels/monopolies tend to have a finite lifespan, while government based monopolies tend to be immortal, less accountable, and less efficient until the entire system collapses.  So everything in both governance and finance comes down to picking the lesser evil of those two.

On software development, terms of implementation he is hopeless. I read not long time ago, he said none of the popular existing programming languages - which could expose the project to existing developer communities - satisfies his requirements, and therefore he is evaluating now the Rust language/framework. WTF? So he delays his progress again, because right now the programing languages are not suited to his use case. WTF again? It seems he doesn't have the ability to deliver anything, except showcasing his super intellect in this forum.

I agree with you on this. You go to war with the army you have, while working to make it better. Waiting for the perfect language guarantees waiting forever.

There is no perfect language, but I told you already that I have certain requirements which my project dictates which are not met by any language:

1. JIT compilation as loaded over the Internet.
2. Strong typing with type parameter polymorphism, eager by default, with Top as the disjunction of all types and Bottom (_|_) as the conjunction of all types (Haskell is the opposite).
3. Async/await (stackless coroutines)
4. Haskell typeclass adhoc polymorphism, i.e. no subclassing which is an anti-pattern
5. Low-level control for performance with high-level elegance such as first-class functions and functional programming paradigm.
6. Add first-class disjunctions to #4.

There is no language on earth which can do that. My analysis thus far concludes Rust is closest.

Rust does everything except #3 and #6, and IMO its #4 and #5 need some polishing.

If you are just building an application, crypto-currency or just a website, then you don't need to invest in creating the correct tools. But when you are building an application platform for others to build on top of, then you have to invest in the tools. Ask Google about Android. Ask Apple about iOS.

Is it outside my resources? Maybe. That is what I am trying to determine now. Deep in research and coding.

His financial predictions are completely off the charts and useless. I pointed out in the Armstrong thread how wrong he was about the BTC price in several occasions - still he is marketing himself as a great forecaster. Total nonsense.

The underlined statement is false because it is too absolute. Additionally your post with those allegations was refuted by myself.

I read not long time ago, he said none of the popular existing programming languages - which could expose the project to existing developer communities - satisfies his requirements, and therefore he is evaluating now the Rust language/framework.

It seems he doesn't have the ability to deliver anything, except showcasing his super intellect in this forum.

I am quoting this for posterity, so we can look back on it with the undeniable fact of retrospection.

Terms of his scam busting mission, as I said several times, make no mistake, he is not worried about the scams - in fact he said scams are "part of the game" -, he is just building up his honest and ethical profile, because he is preparing for a P&D to satisfy his "angel investors".

Is that a fact? Prove it.

And when it is not true in the end, do you think I am going to accept your apology for slandering me.

On the personal level, - apart from his incoming P&D venture - he is a very nice guy, the BCT forum wouldn't be the same without him.

I don't need your two-faced neurosis. Please instead conclude I am not a nice guy. That will be a more consistent.

There won't be any P&D, because no one will be able to buy enough and concentrate enough ownership to make it worthwhile or possible to manipulate.

Proof except promises?

Yes there will be more or less a proof that no one amassed 30% of the coin supply. And I believe it will be possible to prove from the block chain how many verified users have coins and how many coins they have. But let's wait to see the final decision before I can promise if that information will be on the block chain. I don't think that information will be mandatory, as I don't think we want a KYC block chain.

As you can see, I am not (at least not initially) going after the anonymity features.

You don't seem to hate vaporware in general tho, because you like to advertise your own after every self-spam campaign in every thread you visit since months if not years.


Agree, and based on this I made my conclusion above that he is actually promoting his upcoming P&D, but after I had to agree with smooth that it is quite unfair to make such accusation. Still, the fact is, as you said that he has been promoting his vaporware. TPTB_need_war is a good man when he is in a right mindset and he contributed a lot to this forum already. Lets hope he is promoting his vaporware for ethical and honest reasons.

I hate if someone is asking someone to do something based on vaporware. Am I asking anyone IN PUBLIC to do anything because of my plans? No! If I ask people to buy a Tshirt to help me finance my coding, that is not a big loss for them. They get a cool Tshirt and no promises other than my reputation and best attempt to do the job. IN PRIVATE, I have every right to take angel (aka private placement) investment from accredited or sophisticated investors who understand the risks.

How many times have I said I will not be involved in any P&D. If ever I am able to reach my goal of launching a crypto-currency, it will be very very widely distributed, much more than Bitcoin. If not (i.e. if distribution fails and can't be fixed), I will disown it and walk away and destroy/burn my coins by spending them to a unspendable address.

There won't be any P&D, because no one will be able to buy enough and concentrate enough ownership to make it worthwhile or possible to manipulate. At least not unless it happens by some market force I can't design into the protocol such as most users dumping their coins to a whale. But decentralized markets that have a functioning use as a currency token, don't usually fail like that. When the Communists gave land back to the peasants or in another case of Auroracoin, those holders dumped all to the whales because they didn't know how to use nor have a use for the asset.

Let's psychoanalyze those want to troll me with a thread like this. Actually I have no censorship motivated objection about making a thread about me (I wish so much, it was possible to do something great without attaining any personal fame), it just feels really stupid because I (the idealist in me) think the technology is more important than the person, which is one of the main reasons I hate vaporware ICOs.

This thread serves mainly to deflect attention away from Dash's instamine scam.

+1 for conscious reason.

The subconscious reason this thread exists is the psychological phenomenon that it is better to destroy everyone, than to fail alone.

"I dropped my ice cream in the mud, so now I am throwing mud on your ice cream so we are the same, because God hates us equally".

This is what socialism built. Equality is prosperity, because fairness is the uniformity of nature's Gaussian distribution. Equality is a human right! Didn't you know that!

They would rather waste the time of important coders whose time would be better spent coding a solution for humanity, so as to satisfy their inability to accept their mistakes and jealousy.

Would like to see your ultimate and perfect project.

Are you attempting to debunk yourself by posting that?  There is absolutely nothing in there to help your recursive, closed entropy system plight.

No ,  Cheesy
Just showing you take every chance available to try and insult what you can't comprehend.
Mission Accomplished.  Cheesy

 Cool

FYI:
By the way even the Multiverse is technically a Closed System,  Cheesy
very few people decide that makes life not worth living.

Question
Does the entropy of a closed system always increase, or could it possibly decrease?
Asked by: Johannes Pollanen

Answer
The standard answer to your question from the laws of thermodynamics is that entropy (disorder) will increase, but there are at least two ways I believe entropy can decrease in a closed system.

First, you used the word 'possibly'. The laws of probability allow a closed system's entropy to decrease, but with such a low likelihood that the odds would make it very unlikely. Making the system small enough, however, by decreasing the number of its possible states can help improve the odds.

Take, for example, a movie of a billiards game 'break' shot. The ordered arrangement of balls becomes disordered, but running the film in reverse would show each individual collision obeying the usual physical laws. The time reversal would be apparent, however, when all the balls ended up in an ordered collection. Although that result could conceivably occur by chance, it is very unlikely. Reducing the example to just two balls would make the odds of an orderly arrangement occurring more likely.

For a second example of decreasing entropy, start with a closed system large enough to allow significant gravitational forces among its components. Gravity provides a 'negative energy' that can take a completely disordered system and organize it into a radically symmetric arrangement around a common center of gravity.
