Indeed, it comes down to force, as it always does.  I don't care if people copy my stuff, as long as they don't infringe on my market share, at least until I've recouped my investment, plus some profit.

But what of everyone you've copied through research?  Are they not owed, as well?  If we're assuming IP is a thing, we also have to take into consideration the IP being stolen through any and all ideas, which are always based upon previous ideas.
at some point it becomes too expensive to defend your IP, and thus you stop defending it.

cost-benefit 101: is it beneficial to attack someone who have not attacked you first? yes, sometimes!

(and this is the point that myrkul fail to see...)

So, you would shoot at AnCaps before being shot at?
if it was in my best interest: yes sure!
It would not be. Doing so would get you shot back at.

I don't know... I mean it worked for Han Solo...
how can you so categorically refuse that unprovoked violence can be profitable sometimes? i simply don't understand it.

This is Satoshi critics to existing system Bitcoin should be opposite to. They breaking the Bible.

Quote
Completely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot avoid mediating disputes. The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions, and there is a broader cost in the loss of ability to make non-reversible payments for non-reversible services.

From one patch to another, Bitcoin becomes what they try to get rid off.

hmm...

bitcoin BECOMES what they TRY to get rid off

BITCOIN becomes what they try to GET RID off

bitcoin becomes WHAT they try to GET RID OFF

....no, I still don't understand this phrase
its simple: Bitcoin becomes what they try to get rid off.

Can I profit from it without sharing it?  If it takes millions to implement? 

You're welcome to prevent your employees - contractually - from divulging trade secrets, even your customers, if you can get them to agree. You just don't have any third party enforceability.

***But that's not fair!  wah!***

Anyway,
That issue is between my, my customers, and my arbitration company.

Your arbitration company would have to agree with other arbitration companies that IP is a-OK, which would imply all of society would be cool with IP.  However, if your arbitration company is the only one in the biz who thinks it's right, they'll not be in business long, as the other arbitration companies will believe you and your company are making an attempt at extortion of innocent people.
i guess it depends on what ever you see a violation of IP as a violation of property. Is IP violation a aggression?

IP's a fun subject.  Can anyone truly own the ingredients to a drug?  Sure; but can they own the rights to mix those ingredients together in a specific fashion?  Can we truly enforce a law that states Mary Jane owns the recipe to hash brownies, and anyone who makes them owes her some cash?  Possible, but not without the use of force...
Making drugs is a lot more than just mixing stuff.
not really, except maybe heating it and cooling it sometimes.

Correct, I think it should be long enough to pay for R/D, implementation/production, marketing, plus a certain period of pure profit.
It is. If it is not, you're not charging enough for it during your monopoly period. Of course, that will increase the incentive to reverse-engineer and compete....

In the case of pharmaceuticals, and chip design, my monopoly period needs to be quite years long.  Some things take millions do develop, but once developed, take pennies reverse-engineer and produce.
funny! myrkul is killing people, by not giving incentives to people trying to save them.



Shouldn't you be busy planning acts of violence against Danish Cartoonists?
what? that dude who draw a funny pic of a prophet from a religion i don't believe in?
why would i do that? he makes funny stuff, i have no reason to harm him.

Please read this, so you know where we AnCaps are coming from, in a very basic sense.  Its a quick read.

The premise is that law is a commodity like any other, and a free market will provide better law than a central command/control structure that only makes a one-size-fits-all product.  Think of Lada v/s Porsche.
why the fuck would i want a car that some one would want to steal?

Just read the .pdf, you cross-eyed Mary penguin.
no, thanks. i will not read your capitalistic propaganda, its a waste of my time.

Scrypt is adjustable in difficulty. In litecoin it's only scrypt(1024,1,1) which is really low and very fast to calculate. Most CPUs can at least do 20,000 scrypt calculations per second, and many new processors can do much better.
That's where my problem is: I'm at 2 scrypt calculations per second
Thanks
do you calculate them by hand?

likely to be true. but due to the context(bitcoin, CS, and internet) Distributed hash tables is what DHT means.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING! Bitcoin will soon block small transaction outputs on: May 09, 2013, 08:29:09 AM
Not a file sharing, but distributed DHT-like database HASH=BLOCK

DHT you say?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrotestosterone

Edit: I also think this change is rash.
