mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a bad idea. baking in gpg however would be splendid.
mircea_popescu: yes indeed, there's at least two items for the bitcoin v2.0 : the wol pow detailed above and the p-airthm balance
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't think i actualy understand what i want re chaining
mircea_popescu: one of the most important vulnerabilities extant in bitcoin as is.
mircea_popescu: ie, either you make waseful asics or else you keep changing them every 200k blocks
mircea_popescu: obviously anything that can be made can be made in silicon
mircea_popescu: this still needs better chaining than what bitcoin's doing.
mircea_popescu: i actually kinda want this built, if there's any hardcore c programmer looking for a major project.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dont wanna weasel out of inflating block size i dont think
mircea_popescu: except you don't have reward, you just increase 4fold the size of the field.
mircea_popescu: suppose you double this every 200k blocks, much like how bitcoin halves reward.
mircea_popescu: now, imbit = 128kb, which should be enough for the blocks originally.
mircea_popescu: suppose pow is, "find a 1mbit value which xored with your block results in a wol-like table which playing for 32 generations results in a table identical to the table of the block as is"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, forget the bitter me. let's refine your automata idea a little.
mircea_popescu: well they don't do it. they do something that's "just as good".
mircea_popescu: the shit can never get old. "here's what i want, here's what's to be done, here's me not doing it". how would this ever get old.
mircea_popescu: now... what part of "the people are more stupid than can be put into words" needs putting into words ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's laugh together. on one hand it's you saying that, one minute under some derp going in the bitbet comments section to say that since ThickAsThieves posted something here about a topic of interest, and magicaltux also hung out on irc, it follows that bitbet is bad.
mircea_popescu: "Vertcoin has always been and will continue to be the leader in decentralization of cryptocurrency."
mircea_popescu: if the final state of the game flows deterministically from the state at any point, there's nothing for a human to do.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight no. consider the supermodel of all player strategy games, btc.waroflife.com/
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i don't like the "learn this succession of small movements" part.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the explanation is i nthe log, which part didn;'t make sense ?
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to spend my time doing that sort of shit i
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i play lots of things to try them out. i quit because i can't stand the model. too much like [lowly paid] work.
mircea_popescu: so today alone 143 different .ru domains supposedly sent people to trilema.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight methinks you're showing teenage girls the wrong things.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight o i think i tried something like this at one time, ragnarsomething
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money.
mircea_popescu: but yes, a deterministic web game for btc is a non starter.
mircea_popescu: field is new, so we don't know a whole lot about what fundamentally doesn't work just yet.
mircea_popescu: i have some hard in-principle things that can disqualify a proposition, but they're pretty sparse.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight ok, let me put it this way : so far you're making it impossible to be helped. now, lots of people circle this chan in the hopes of getting some support, you're way ahead of them through a combination of good luck and good luck.
mircea_popescu: mkay. well, can you turn all this into a business plan ?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i lived for a while in timisoara, cluj before that.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight im thinking more in the sense of the larger entity you get backstopped against.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you're thinking publisher in the sense of the world of atari, making hardware cartridges.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just an alternate spelling of sweaty balls, that also happens to be an edible product.
mircea_popescu: the two are amusingly related : work -> schweddyballs -> tide.
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard: kakobrekla: so everyone should pay off their mortgage / student loans / credit cards / car loans before buying bitcoins? Seems a little extreme and just poor balance sheet management imho <<< i can see it. bitcoin is still not for the poor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. this is the point of flesh, to make thoughts painful.
mircea_popescu: so like a pm basically, mostly covering for game design
mircea_popescu: so what's your role in all this ? you draw the artwork ? you code the game ?
mircea_popescu: you're not being accused. you've just been convicted. that's all.
mircea_popescu: it won't work if i have to kill you all, and i won't have to kil you all.
mircea_popescu: eh spare me the derpage. you and the rest of the usg plants are trying to push forward a certain political aggenda.
mircea_popescu: can i calculate the bitcoin address that'd correspond to any arbitrary private address i choose ?
mircea_popescu: private keys have nothing to do with the public keys they're paired with ?
