Title: Will Math for Crypto
Post by: Trent Russell on December 04, 2014, 11:10:32 AM
Hi Everyone. I decided to try to earn some crypto by offering to answer math questions over email during my spare time (mainly on weekends). I don't know if there's any demand for this, but I guess this is how to find out.

The main topics I studied while in grad school were abstract math (abstract algebra, set theory, logic, and so on).

I put more info at willmathforcrypto.com (http://willmathforcrypto.com).

Nice way mate, but you know www.google.com
We can get any answer on google for free.

Good Luck.  ;)

How much do you charge for solving the Fermi Paradox for me ?

Could you help me with 1+1???
I always get 11

I can't understand that.
1+1=

1+1=11

But the calculator says 2

Ill give 0.1 btc for that  ;)

I can do it for 10 btc, if you for real. Give me you skype i will call.

Mathway works best for high school I found. (https://mathway.com)

If you could really solve that, you'd be making more money then 10 btc, hence, fishy smell my friend.

Could you develop a fast algorithm to calculate the discrete cosine transform (or any daubechies wavelet) of a non-power-of-two amount of samples?
I need it to be ridiculously fast; perfect accuracy is not crucial.
I'm working on a video codec, which is working extremely well so far. I get very competitive compression ratio's compared to H265, but the computational complexity is just ridiculous. (realtime is far from possible, except for very low resolution video)
I need to do a DCT (or DWT) of sample sizes typically between 64 and 1024, usually around 700. It's fine if you come up with different algorithms, depending on the sample size.

Pseudocode is fine; preferably C/C++.

I'm willing to pay you a decent sum, if it's fast enough.

how much can you gain if you are able to resolve this paradox ?

I CAN explain why we don't see any evidence of extraterrestial civilizations in a present universe.
How and where i can make more then 10 btc of it?
And yes, I can explain it to you for 10btc. Should be a good deal, if you will be able to make more out of it.

I recognize that everyone's joking, which is no problem. I'm assuming any serious questions will come privately through the contact info on the website.

Much respect for pulling out the Russell and Whitehead, although this is only a lemma that later is used to prove 1+1=2.

You can find a proof of 1+1=2 as the last example on the page

https://mathgate.info/d/doc.php?d=7ae441c7a1d73be4cf6747fadec9768ad1ee884c0caf064527517d4aa7c56ff8

I'm happy to explain this proof for free. If you want to see if you understand it, you can erase it and try to reconstruct it. The website will tell you if your proof is correct.

How is your stats math gong fu?

Are you up to providing accurate math for the probabilities of consensus with a different algo to PoW or PoS?

It is a good reward , but it is also a strong and hard paradox .

Just had a problem, what is the value of tan90° * tan 0°?
Is it 0, -1 or 1?

tan90° * tan 0° = π/2 * 0 = 0

My background doesn't include statistics. I think you can find someone better suited to this task than me.

Thanks for posting a serious question though. I almost missed it.
