A premise: you wake up one day, and nobody knows anything about bitcoin (or any other crypto)...cypherpunk does exist, just no bitcoin..you, however, know as much as you know now. Similar to "Yesterday" [the movie] premise, which is that all "Beatles" info got somehow erased from the mankind's collective memory with the exception of the main character (I am sure that there might be a twist in the end, though). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uqvgPm8U4cI know that this is impossible, but what would you do? Is someone here with a knowledge to reconstruct Satoshi's paper? I am simply curious since I know the general outline, but probably wouldn't be able to properly formulate it. I think we would have enough to go on (without looking at the paper): • SHA 256 / Hashing • Proof of work • Difficulty retargeting • 21 million cap, 100 million sats, halving every 4 years • Miners to bundle transactions from mem pool, blocksize cap • Blockchain / timechain / merkle trees • Public key / private key addresses, sign to send • validate UTXOs as unspent One thing I don’t understand is how Bitcoin achieves consensus on time While these do mostly describe bitcoin's protocol and terminology today, not all parts of the list were in the whitepaper. Notably the blocksize cap, and especially the 21mil cap. Idiots who use the whitepaper as a bible may yet pounce on this latter just as they pounced on the blocksize element. |

Seems like a lot of work for a few merits which are only redeemable here. I never really saw the value of the merit system which is probably why I gave mine out quite readily. What exactly does a merit do for you anyway? Does it allow you to rank up quicker? If so then what does ranking up get you for that matter? Meh. In theory it's a sign of a good post and improves post quality all round. In practise it just helps those that want to earn more money on sig campaigns. To some extent, newbs want to prove their value to the forum. And dick-measuring... But it is not going to help much for the people on WO thread,since the requirement to get merit on that thread is way far from speculations. You first reply says much the same as mine, but I dispute this reply. Look ... who shows an understanding (or genuine interest) of any or a combination of the following: Easy enough if you care to, and if he's genuine............... |

dreaming of a version where it costs 0.1 btc to make a bet. winner takes it all. we had those kinds of games going on before, didn´t we? what happened to those? to make it possible to participate for those who are not willing to risk 0.1 btc are allowed to form a pool. a pool can only place one bet. imagine 50 participants. the winner gets 5 btc.  Organise one of those, would be Something cool  A game with end summer or end year price or something.... Gonna add the prices on the list tomorrow, falling a sleep as we speak In to me HODLzone yeah, but I wouldn´t want to "steal" your idea. what about setting it up together? might need to be part of a pool over here, but yes this is a good plan. wish you much success ... |
