Time based currency is the future! It's wrong that each person values their time differently and that's the reason why we have so much disparity in income nowadays! 80% of the wealth is controlled by 10% of the millionaires and billionaires and the rest is just getting dipped into debt! I am not a millionaire but my house costs 4 million in my local currency. TO buy this house, I had taken a loan from a bank and I am paying 35 grand every month to the bank as EMI! I also put in exactly same hours everyday in my office like any other person. Is my time valued enough?? NO!!

To end this kind of disparity, time based currency is the future and blockchain can really help us to bring the transparency in the entire system! Certainly we don't have any such system to keep track of time of an individual but we can't say that there won't be anything in future! Disparity should end at any cost!

I'm a random idiot on the internet, I could be wrong or lying. How do you know that 1 minute = 1 nautical mile applies to the 32 minute apparent diameter of the sun?

I know that in the case of the sun it does but how do you know? Just because I said so is not a valid reason. My point is you need measure the distance to the sun first, then you have a distance to calculate its actual diameter with.

You don't know either the actual size or the distance! ...

In your diagram you label the sun's diameter as 32 nautical miles (nm) how do you know this? How do you know that the 1 nautical mile per 1 minute applies to the 32 minuets you measured the sun at?

... Hold a dime at arms length and it's size is 32 minuets wide, does that mean it's 3,000 miles away? Fuck no! ...

Nanocomputer refers to a computer smaller than the microcomputer, which is smaller than the minicomputer. ... The term nanocomputer is increasingly used to refer to general computing devices of size comparable to a credit card.

Basically because of miner's fees. Transacting in Bitcoin wasn't profitable, because miners got together and raised their fees so high that it wasn't worth trading Bitcoin.

No, no, no and no! You can not calculate the distance to the sun or moon from just apparent size you have to have another object, in this case I used the horizon. Atmospheric refraction is not another object.

Refraction can be determined by calculating the sun or moon's apparent size and position then comparing them with measured values. The difference will be the effect of refraction.

The sun and moon are affected by atmospheric refraction because there are layers of different density gases below them and they causes the light to change direction.

Keep in mind that I'm combining angles from both physical space and optical space and the diagram is less than clear in this regard. R & T also need to be moved over to the left side.

First point, the distance to the sun can't be calculated from the sun's apparent size alone. As you can see I didn't use "I" or "U" at all in my calculation at all, only "Q" and "A".

...
Finally the sun is always 32 minutes wide due to refraction and maintains the same diameter as if it was at 90° because of it. As you can see the calculations for the angular size (X) have not been completed yet. In the case of the sun and moon here X will equal U and refraction plays a role such that a refracted optical space is created in addition to the physical and optical spaces.

@odolvlobo,
   I'll do up a diagram for measuring the Sun and Moon (this may take me a while), the 3100 mile distance calc was not done by me so I'll do it and see what I get. BTW don't confuse angle U and angle X, only with angle X does 1 minute = 1 nautical mile.

It's market cap so it is possible. It would be astonishingly silly but not a 100% no no. This is why I wish we had something better than market cap but no one's come up with anything yet.

The distance to the horizon A is divided into 90° because there are 90° between the observer and the horizon vanishing point at 0°.

P, E and C are not calculated from the diagram markings, they are calculated using measured and known values thus they are correct.

The marked angles can't be drawn at 90° due to optical convergence, hence the 90° angle notation to indicate their actual values. The reason for this is that parallel lines optically converge to a point at the horizon (see photograph with angle marked in red) but, physically parallel lines never converge. The 90° angle can be confirmed empirically by observing that the horizon line is at eye level.

I've been thinking about grabbing some 16 sided dice, rolling them 64 times, converting the rolls to hex then punching that into bitaddress.org or segwitaddress.org.

I was trying to think of a way to avoid that step and was looking at 58 and 60 sided dice. Of course 58 sided dice aren't fair (different shapes/sizes) so I wouldn't go with that, but 60 may be an option. I could just reroll if I rolled a 59 or 60.

This leaves me with one issue. Is that even going to help me generate a private key? It would have to go through some checks so it's in the right format, so would it be worth buying such a random die, or would getting hex dice and converting that make more sense?

Side note, is it "more random" to flip a coin 256x, roll a 6-sided die 99x or roll a 16-sided die 64x? If you know of where I can read up on probability/entropy please let me know. I'd rather learn it for myself so I really understand it. Any other simple/quick entropy sources would be welcomed as well. I'm just trying to save myself some time when generating private keys for cold storage and I don't trust other entropy sources since idk where they get it from or how it works. Thanks!

I created this to show how to measure the angular size of objects. If you see any errors let me know.
