Now that i'm thinking a bit more about it, it's pretty much indistinguishable from traveling into the past of a parallel reality; except that your presence there pretty much guarantee's that your double will never do that time travel.




The only time travel that won't screw with paradoxes (other than going to the future), is to travel faster than light; that way you can look back from the destination and see you leaving at the origin, but your arrival is still in the future of the origin.

Causality loops are inherently unstable. It might be possible to reach a self-sustaining state, but odds are it will eventually come to rest into a state where time-travel never happened, because that is the stablest of them all.

The post i quoted was edited afterwards, i guess to show the code instead of the image.

I'm not sure if 4 hours is the only requirement; check other threads in the newbie section and try to get more than 5 posts as well (i remember that being one of the requirements at one time, dunno if it still is).

I can see that...

Keep the wallet files unchanged, but sign transactions with it. The bitcoins aren't on those harddrives, they are on the millions of copies of the blockchain all around the world.

What if they keep the "items", but share the information contained in them?

One way would be to get some smart and trustworthy people to help you rig a deadman switch that will reveal to the public what the government doesn't want them to know in case you aren't around anymore, and then make the exist of that switch public...

But didn't you said that it didn't need to be you? Why would the government kill someone else and spare you if they are after you?


But really, are they actually after you, or is it just a disease making you see things that aren't there?


Sure, you gotta be careful, "just 'cause you're paranoid it doesn't meant they aren't after you" and all that stuff. But you also need to keep yourself grounded; in most cases where people are acting weird like you are, the problems are all in their head (i don't mean made up, i mean like something is wrong in their brain). Keep your eyes open both for what you're afraid of and for signs your mind could be betraying you. Seek professional help, but remain careful just in case in the end it turns out you were right all along.

Dude, don't let yourself die, and don't kill yourself; this thing about you dieing is the disease talking. Don't give up living and you'll have a chance of one day being thankful for not giving in to the disease.

Is the money evidence, or just the wallet and the blockchain?

And how are you planning on bringing that suitcase filled with money across the border each time the ATM is full? Suddenly getting a revenue stream from Mexico via bank would also bring unwanted attention your way...

And what you gonna do if some druglords want 120% cut from your activities in their turf?

Don't forget to take the electricity bill into account

Am i just not used to this type of design, or does it really look jerryrigged?

I'll try to read all those references some time later. This is my reply for now:

Creativity is simply the ability of arranging pre-existing elements in a new ways, and extrapolating the contents of any holes that may arise on the new arrangements based on what you already know (plus, possibly, a tad of randomness combined with some element of trial-and-error, either in "mental" simulations or testing hypotheses against reality or some close-enough stand-in for it).

We wouldn't need to replicate human creativity; and actually, i think what would have bigger odds of being successful would be non-human creativity. An algorithm that appears to be creative, but comes up with concepts humans wouldn't have. The very fact that humans wouldn't be able to foresee what it's next move will be, together with its self-improving, with pardon of the word, nature; means we wouldn't be able to stop it if it doesn't want to be stopped.

A machine that thinks like a human is a big deal, but we got cheap humans that we don't have to pay for the manufacture. Now a machine that thinks different(ly) and better than humans, is something you can't get from nature (at the time of writing, highly advanced self-improving aliens are widely considered to be just hypothetical) ; the niche is waiting to be filled.


If something else doesn't stop humanity before, i see a non-humanoid self-improving intelligence as inevitable in the long term.


It doesn't need to be omniscient, it just need to have better guesses than the humans'.

I would find it really disappointing if we end up like that before we manage to create a self-improving AI that will take over the world...

One important thing about stress is you need to see it as good for your body. If you think stress is bad it literally takes years away from your life.

Competition is good; the fact Bitcoin stays as all these newcomers crop up and go away reinforces the perception Bitcoin is strong.

And if it turns out one of the competition has a good enough idea, the Bitcoin code can be tweaked to incorporate it before it looses the lead.

Change the crown to a bitcoin and you got a winner
