mjr_: or something like that
mjr_: well, one possible solution is to calc the decimal portion as an integer and then append it to another int
mjr_: more philosophically than in practice
mjr_: no float is ever really accurate in the grand scheme of things
mjr_: but just a quick glance
mjr_: 15 decimal places? even btc only goes down to 8
mjr_: smallest 64 bit number greater than 1
mjr_: is that not more than enough precision?
mjr_: but i personally hate strongly typed so you may be talking to the wrong person about that
mjr_: i think you can set precision can't you
mjr_: yeah that i don't know
mjr_: it's all just json in mongo
mjr_: me neither, but luckily, it is very (almost exactly) js
mjr_: i think that is the future
mjr_: yeah i like bootstrap and jquery
mjr_: very true L33T css3 rounded corners and drop shadows
mjr_: great UI though, and they made it easier
mjr_: online wallet and very limited exchange with bank linking
mjr_: and in my opinion, coinbase did not do anything new
mjr_: i would like to do mine that way, but it wouldn't really work
mjr_: and i like that style a lot
mjr_: coinbase got 600k and they went through YCombinator
mjr_: thought you meant investors in the sense of venture capital firms
mjr_: in that case great idea and i would do that
mjr_: (almost definitely is actually more accurate, except for a few loopholes)
mjr_: IPO will probably involve SEC
mjr_: IPO is tough in btc world
mjr_: i think it's obvious to me
mjr_: for example...is it that unique to do my idea? (no one has done it yet)
mjr_: and one of the hardest to actually decide
mjr_: intelectual property is one of the fastest growing areas of law
mjr_: this is a huge debate
mjr_: i am just playing devil's advocate
mjr_: again it is a judgement call
mjr_: so if he implements it...he can say, i had this idea
mjr_: remember...newton and leibniz "invented" calculus pretty much simultaneously
mjr_: ie. could someone have come up with this on their own?
mjr_: and that is why NDA is hard
mjr_: that is if his idea is so closely related to yours that it is provably the same
mjr_: plagiarists rarely do that, haven't we all kinda paraphrased stuff for our papers after copy pasting?
mjr_: so if he decided to share with other people your exact idea, and not even bother taking your name off it and replacing it with his own, you could prove that he was using your idea
mjr_: the checksum would no longer match
mjr_: but if he changes the name on it...
mjr_: then yes you can verify with checksum
mjr_: if he decides to post your exact plan
mjr_: or email it to someone secure so they have a record of it being emailed at a certain date and time
mjr_: or mail it to yourself
mjr_: i would say that a picture with a timestamp, or something like that is proof as well
mjr_: look at facebook, zuckerberg and the winklevoss
mjr_: but if he says he was "inspired by" or it was "similar to something i was already doing"...that is what makes it a gray area
mjr_: i guess the problem in this case specifically would be in that yes if he implemented it EXACTLY as you had specified, you could sue
mjr_: and how would you verify that what the person HEARD was related to what you WROTE
mjr_: but they could read it out loud to someone
mjr_: no i get it, you could do that
mjr_: so that's what makes it tough
mjr_: messages by their very nature are repeatable...even if on other medium
mjr_: so people can take picture with other device...
mjr_: so they added a feature to check if you took a screenshot
mjr_: because you can take a screenshot
mjr_: but they ran into issues right away
mjr_: this same issue is what started SnapChat
mjr_: because they could call someone, and just verbally tell the idea
mjr_: no...not in any way i can think of
mjr_: and that is the end of the scope of encryption...i have been thinking about that a lot lately, the inability to create an unrepeatable message
mjr_: it's tough, if they are intended to receive the message...they can retransmit it's cleartext
mjr_: if someone else does it that is fine too
mjr_: i have already said my idea on here publicly
mjr_: except in issues of code
mjr_: NDA is very hard to enforce
mjr_: that was more my point
mjr_: it would be very hard to show that the person you told, then told me
mjr_: and we could have the same idea
