It looks like he's just making shit up to try and save this $1 billion dollar fugazi now. Why he's wrong: Why proof of stake has no value: Since Satoshi did not solve the Byzantine generals problem, this means confirmations are completely arbitrary. So why are two confirmations more useful in Bitcoin (PoW) than one? Because it's an open entropy system where over a period of time, it's either unlikely or statistically impossible for someone to maintain a monopoly on block validation when there's no upper limit to confirmations. Recursive systems like proof of stake tend to permanently monopolize block validation by design, with no real fault or state recovery to fix it once it goes off the rails. The act of introducing interest compounds this problem even more. This makes a proof of stake confirmation essentially worthless due to being a bounded entropy system. On top of being worthless, proof of stake is also a permissioned ledger. The purpose of mining in Bitcoin is to create a permanent decentralized exchange peg, which thus results in a permissionless system.

If you asked him to explain that statement in his own words you would get a big portion of bullshit, nothing else can be expected from r0ach. Title: Re: Vitalik scamming live on camera Post by: immangrace on June 03, 2016, 08:02:08 AM Why is this scamming ? he is expressing his views on the POW and POS, if you don't like what he says don't support his ETH and state your views, let the people think for themselves.
Title: Re: Vitalik scamming live on camera Post by: LegendaryMembership on June 03, 2016, 08:06:50 AM so ETH will change from POW to POS ? maybe comeback to POW again ? :-\

Lots of proof regarding PoS being garbage. Years of proof. Years of proof? or Years of opinion? It all comes down to which compromises you want to accept and your definition of "decentralization". Decentralized means what we all think it means.. The only people bluring the lines are the ones pushing the boundary of the meaning of the term. In other words those that are trying to shoe horn things NOT decentralized into being viewed as such. As the guy said before you they are FUD'ing to protect their investment.. But with YOU i suspect your just a contrarian (Look it up on Wikipedia) Roach is right and he has not been proven wrong and you all simply threw some shit out to cause a diversion avoiding what he said (because you can not disprove he statement(s)) And i match your lame attempt at a meme here ETH losers with my own.. Vitalitik Butterin + his greedy moronic ETH shill scam ICO token minions = Google Image search... "Pied Piper.jpeg" Go search for the picture yourself.... i can't be bothered doing the work for you idiots. I win loser dregs.. gonna meme ? step up your game losers. Know what league your in douche nozzles. And i think his little presentation is simply his attempt to bury his way deeper with more convoluted tech talk.. that is how he gets you douche bags to follow him around. Ethereum has already been decimated in every way. It was launched unfairly and manipulated by a group with a massive P&D + hype campaign. And we all agree it was probably by the ETH team themselves.. After all how in gods name did Butterin get his hands on millions of dollars worth anyway ? Simple read page 1 of my ETH + Scam topic i made in 2014 ..that shows you right there ! So of course it was the dev team / partners (in crime) doing it. ICO scam.. what more do you need to know ? Ohh yea i forgot to mention.. It's not even a currency LOL It's a Blockchain implementation with a ICO tokens thingy mabobber tacked on. ETH fuel tokens + D"APPS" have fuck all to do with making a new currency that will get adopted. It's simply a scheme to produce Bitcoin profits. Much like URO the piss coin :D I have no idea how or why you clowns even push on with all this pathetic ETH bullshit. You really don't want to give up do ya losers ? Oh and by the way.. Did Spoetnik's "FUD" put a stop to your "Used by Microsoft" campaign of fraud ? Seems a ton of you would not shut up about that scammy lies.. And now you never hear one word of it.. or the similar IBM scam lies bit. I put a fork in your gay ass's and ended your mouthy bullshit. I have time stamped logs showing i predicted in advance too that a pile of other coins would copy cat that scam angle and they did ! then.. You guys never mentioned it again around here ..complete silence. Which is odd because.. I had pointed out 100's of pg's on Polonibox where you all lined up with your spam army with all that. I also had caught it early on and tried to inform people but was swiftly mouthed off and banned by the scammers who run Poloniex. And i told those cunts word for word.. they are mad because i'm messing with their victims they groom. (by telling them the truth about Microsoft + IBM using ETH) I can't prove the staff there are behind any coins but i have watched them clearly Supporting them aggressively.. for a buck $$$ The may not be the pedophile but they are watching as the kid gets diddled. No less a crime in my books. Anyway.. Butterin is a scammer idiot fucktard, you couldn't pay me to listen to that crack head. Sorry "Meth" head ..you can tell by the acne and his weight. ..go buy Butterin more mETH tokens and acne cream you idiot shitcoin'ers ::) He still needs to dump MORE than he already admitted to LOL ETH shitheads are pathetic losers that make me laugh :D Title: Re: Vitalik scamming live on camera Post by: bitfish on June 03, 2016, 11:25:05 AM Many comments from the peanut gallery but can anyone actually disprove what r0ach has mentioned about Proof of Stake etc...?

He started the Cambrian explosion of IPO scams with NXT, which then led to all these IPO scamcoins you see now. They just copied what he did. The Eastern Euros were desperate for money and realized it's not actually profitable for a developer releasing a decentralized coin because the creator has no control over the block reward. The scammy Eastern Euros with a relatively high amount of STEM education, and low amounts of net worth or morality, decided to start a campaign trying to convince people centralized systems in which they control the entire monetary supply are...the same thing as Bitcion, but even better! No. They're releasing completely centralized coins, for profit, solely in an attempt to enrich themselves at your loss in a pump and dump. None of this crap they're releasing qualifies as a decentralized currency. Now that the Eastern Euro criminals have been exposed, they load up every thread with sockpuppet shill accounts saying, "Don't listen to r0ach, he's a an axe murder, or rapist, or day trader!". It's not just me, other's have figured it out too: He had enough from these NXT scammers. It's really hurt crypto what the NXT scammers do by rolling out one ICO after another: NXT, Supernet, JINN, IOTA, WAVES (even the LISK scam was "advised" by the NXT scammers). They are cancer in crypto.

On top of being worthless, proof of stake is also a permissioned ledger. The purpose of mining in Bitcoin is to create a permanent decentralized exchange peg, which thus results in a permissionless system. Ok. Let me explain, why this is wrong with this example: POS One has bought 1% of the coins and getting therefore 1% of new coins and transaction fees. His stake is growing in percentage to other (smaller) accounts, if he doesn't spend any coins. You say he is getting richer all the time and POW is different? POW One has bought 1% of hashing power and getting 1% of new coins + the transaction fees. If the miner uses the whole money to buy hashing power. Guess how much much his % grows compared to the other ones? Its about the same amount as it does with POS. The problem is NOT POS or POW. The problem is, that the richer are always getting more than others. It was like that thousand years ago and it will be like that also thousand years in the future, if we stick to money as THE central life instrument. The only way to solve that, is to remove the possibility of storing value at all or understand that its not needed.

If you read what I typed, the idea of compound interest in "stake" systems was only a secondary problem that was in addition to the main point.

If you read what I typed, the idea of compound interest in "stake" systems was only a secondary problem that was in addition to the main point. I still see no difference in monopolization with stake size or hash rate. Both will make the richer get richer by itself. Only if you burn the transaction fees (and maybe without interest/mining reward) it may not be the case. But this kind of system would not attract enough people to success... Title: Re: Vitalik scamming live on camera Post by: mining1 on June 05, 2016, 11:06:25 AM @r0ach, are you trying to buy more cheap eth before the whole world of bitcoin implodes ? What are the chances of bitcoin going over ~800$, 10% ? Even if it surpasses 1k $ with alot of chinese farmer pumps ( they ll try hard to increase btc price especially after the halving since 90% of the hashrate will be controlled by them) but it simply wont hold, and the price will go back to < 600$ which will make it unprofitable to mine for half miners out there, and it will have a slow and painful death, since people will think its just temporary and it will recover.

Barry Silbert says: Although Silbert is excited about Ethereum, he does not agree with the vision held by some of Ethereum’s most-ardent supporters. He explained: “I sense there’s a certain utopian view of society, which I may or may not agree with philosophically, that I just don’t see from a real-world application perspective happening anytime soon.” I have a new theory that the altcoin speculation market is largely stratified by generational differences (in addition to for example cultural differences between Europeans and Americans for example). On one end of the spectrum, we have Millennials (Z generation) who were raised spoiled by their middle-age boomer parents, and thus have this sort of unrealistic cartoonish or "everything is a game" (and take money from the rich like we did to our parents) outlook similar to how Vitalik described himself: Buterin won’t commit to a full explanation of why he became interested in Bitcoin on the second go around. He had recently quit playing World of Warcraft, and perhaps he was just looking for the next obsession to take its place, he says. But he does admit to having a dualistic worldview that faulted centralized powers with many of society’s sins. “I had a much more cartoon mentality,” he says as he squeezes a lemon wedge into his green tea, then begins looping the string on the teabag incessantly around the handle of his mug. “I saw everything to do with either government regulation or corporate control as just being plain evil. And I assumed that people in those institutions were kind of like Mr. Burns, sitting behind their desks saying, ‘Excellent. How can I screw a thousand people over this time.’” In this way, his worldview was harmonious with the vast majority of Bitcoin early adopters who fully expected the technology to operate as a stealthy foil for the status quo. And though he says he has substantially updated his binary assessment of good and evil, Buterin is still motivated by a conviction that the powerful have far too much power. “I think a large part of the consequence is necessarily going to be disempowering some of these centralized players to some extent,” he says. “Because ultimately power is a zero sum game. And if you talk about empowering the little guy, as much as you want to couch it in flowery terminology that makes it sound fluffy and good, you are necessarily disempowering the big guy. And personally I say screw the big guy. They have enough money already.” Just older than them are the Tweeners (Y generation) such as Daniel Larimer who were born in between the neglected X generation and the spoiled Z generation, thus they have a confused identity with some mix of wannabee Libertarianism like us GenXers but needing the pillow of increasing collectivism/socialism under which they were raised. I am GenX. We were abandoned by our parents and the socialism wasn't very well developed yet in the 1970s and 1980s when we were growing up. So we had to fend for ourselves and thus are very pragmatic. ... What Steemit is trying to do is collectivize our funds amongst the entire social network, then redistribute our funds based on who receives the most valid up voting. Sorry but people don't want to join a social network to have their funds taken from them (for all those who are average) and redistributed to those who are above average. Dan Larimer is a smart guy but in my opinion has always been (since I first debated him in BCT in 2013 about his plan to pay every token HODLer a dividend) a socialist/collectivist in a faux Libertarian skin. And that is why in my opinion all his designs have failed to achieve greatness. Here are more recent examples I've experienced when interfacing with these irresponsible youth: It is about you failing to respond to any of my technical points and wanting to just ignore the reality. You don't want to have substantive debate with an expert. Seems you are offended by something. I asked you what is 'rancid' in the other thread I linked to which had expressed some of the same logic as your OP, and you said the threads smell like fish. That isn't a very substantive response. You are all fluff. How about focusing in on the issues instead. I raised many issues and you seem to not be interested even though they are directly related to your OP. Any way, I don't care. Enjoy what ever you are doing with this thread. The reason I mentioned ego is in response to your statement, " With such "Technical superiority" your modesty is astounding.". I asked you to be aware of my knowledge set and not brush off my comments nonchalantly. You got offended by my lack of modesty. It seems you don't comprehend the seriousness of the situation facing the world right now. When you are stuck in a 666 enslavement system some years from now, it will be too late to get your freedom back. I have been working night and day for many years to prevent that from happening. You made an OP that seemed to recognize that Bitcoin is in dilemma. I am making you aware that it was designed to be in that dilemma. Because it is designed to enslave the world. I have studied the consensus design and even explained that Satoshi didn't solve the Byzantine Generals Problem. I have studied the SegWit and other changes being made to Bitcoin. There is a pattern to all of this. Your technical expertise are appreciated elsewhere this was a logical discussion about Bitcoin and only Bitcoin's future. Not the future of the whole world. Bitcoin can't be fixed. The issue that your OP explains in insoluble. You can only hope to replace it. Bitcoin will be scaled up centralized. And it will enslave the world. Period. That is the answer. I offered another option, but you don't want to discuss it. So end of thread. The centralized Bitcoin won't be 51% attacked bcz those controlling it will have the 666 control system they designed Bitcoin to accomplish. In the transitionary phase now, the Chinese miners will be handed lots of wealth as the process of centralizing mining proceeds. We can't say every Chinese miner today knows he is part of the ultimate plan. We can't even say the Blockstream devs know they are part of some diabolical plan. They are just trying to fix a design that can't be fixed without restarting from scratch. Compartmentalization is the modus operandi of the DEEP STATE. This is a process. The DEEP STATE that designed Bitcoin has a plan over years. Our other hope is the system blows up technically. But that is why Blockstream is receiving so much funding, because they probably have the expertise to centralize Bitcoin sufficiently whil still being able to give some illusion of decentralization for sufficient time that Bitcoin maximalists fall into the trap, of which SegWit is a major step in that direction. In all honesty the Vcash project moves fast. It's only a year and half old and has evolved quite a bit since genesis. Because of Johns rapid pace of development on the Vcash project we (the community) are consistently trying to play ketchup understanding his technology and architecture. It's a learning process for us and much as it is for you. We are only human. Unfortunately the very people like Fuserleer who could take a deeper look into John's code is unwilling. So what more to discuss? His mind is made up already who are we to tell him he's wrong? I pity you n00bs. Sincerely good luck. Welcome back TPTB. I thank you for your sincerity but I don't really need your pity. I have every confidence in John Conner's work because he actually developing and pushing real software. He doesn't just talk, he does. In my n00bie opinion that's what matters most. Talk is cheap because action speaks louder than words. Action. Like the 1000 shitcoins that came before and died. And Vcash is apparently not entirely launched yet. Yes you are welcome to hump any random garbage can along the side of the road. That is a form of action. Again I pity you. Vcash is in beta sure but damn guy you don't have be to rude. Sure we have different views no need to get hostile and start insulting others for it. I am not intending to be any more rude than the rudeness of your insinuation that I have not done action. How is for example this action (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361602.msg15111595#msg15111595) by myself not action? Action is a nebulous term. That is what I am explaining to you by example. I am also explaining you are quite blind to the action that others are doing. A single-minded focus on the random tree stump in front of you, is what a dog does.

This goes back to Turing who discovered complete recursive code is bound to produce cases of failure. All these Block Chain Alt devs are recreating the mistakes that mathematicians and software engineers have discovered years ago. So no, the "codebase" isn't decent for ETH and will never be decent for ethereum as long as it remains turing complete and has a wide attack surface. Ethereum will remain insecure until this changes. Recursive loops and scripts is a vulnerability and not a feature for block chain technology.

We all warned them, but these mETH heads are so out of touch with computer security they must of thought we were jealous and bluffing/fear mongering. I'm convinced that they believe we are all bitcoin Maximalists and ignore any advice we give them. They forget many of us our genuinely are interested in the technology and are fine with new test projects that are honest and not scams. |
