Since I have been working on this for longer than most on this thread, please let me explain 2 issues: 1> Cash on the barrelhead - WoT system need to assure client that Tx is valid. BM provides this with PoW and OT can reflect the validity on *chain. Unlimited currency/contract/commodity/document.. whatever. Are ya with me? 2> OT can be affiliated with other OT servers through federation but also Trusted computing such as TPM(PAL) -check in Hal's bcflick: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154290Mike Heath pointed to this solution. Thx What we are trying to do is square Zooko's triangle: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/squarezookoThe next stage is the watering hole effect - groups acting as agents, not individuals. Pooling resources for clients - not the current free-for-all. |

How's about we don't be followers of anything and lead when possible. Maturity demands we stand up to those who would make bow down and bow to those who cannot stand up. I come from a dominate catholic community who are dealing with the impact of abusive priests and we all wonder where the sensibility of community leaders was 20-30 years ago.
Bitcoin's impact is that it strips the veil away from financial malfeasance. John's Revelation declares the lifting of the veil from religious malfeasance. Don't look for science or financial solutions in holy books, or use a book as a hammer upon society. Bitcoin is a meme change - freedom from ancient chains. Emperor's New Clothes for current monetary systems. D-systems pushing up against false valuation of wealth.

I noticed some transactions take way longer than usual since 2-3 days.
My most recent transactions took several days without a fee - prior to 0.8.* enforcement. Off-chain transaction maybe your only answer for quick sale/confirmation. |

The whole point is that the people and institutions which derive their power from Fiat see Bitcoin as a threat to their order. The recent Homeland Security action is a testament to this. To think that Bitcoin can be a "legitimate" currency alongside the US Dollar is ignoring the reality of the situation. Bitcoin is an upfront assault on the legitimacy of the international Fiat system. Services like Ripple are destined to go the way of any service which proposes to establish Bitcoin functionally within the existing Fiat frameworks. Bitcoin is not meant to live alongside Fiat. It is meant to kill it. With extreme prejudice.
The actual mechanism may be something akin to extreme prejudice or simple derision of what is currently in place (authoritarian dictate). The open area of approach is from an opposite direction that provides equal pressure on financing. Voting mechanisms are ancient and fragile to improvement; improved WoT system that eventually integrates a financial component. If everyone is on board or pushing for integration, the WoT has the front keys and no subterfuge is required. Just time and a well thought out implementation of a voting system will provide answers. Sometimes kicking in the front door or sneaking in the back door is pointless. Just buy the place and move right in. |

With everything going on in the next few days, why the return from the bit4x grave?

PS. How come your ignore button is now shiny and clear?

It's obviously going to take a right-brained artistic approach, a la Steve Jobs. Get out of the way people. It is like watching the geek follies. Solutions are client-based, not Bitcoin-based.
Try thinking about what other systems require features of WoT, such as voting.

0.3.22 is as close as I have and my links are down for that build.
good luck

MtGox: we determined it was a bad idea to go through with giving this shady looking individual the banking credentials and passwords of non-consenting users, especially since he got into the scamcoin business.
Me: Hey coinlab, where can I serve you notice? Me and 1000 others will get default judgements against your "company" in every state of the union, even before your lawsuit with MtGox is dismissed in summary judgement.
You would be the wrong group to have on your/anyone's badside. |

I would pay to see other alt coins protected (with alt coin proceeds).
I would like to see servers setup for Electrum world-wide.
Other @home services look mainly for volunteers or donations. Can we get tax write-offs?
Long time devs must have an opinion about extra Hashability and where it is best useful. They also could be idled as a hedge against some future 51% attack.
An aside - I was having a discussion with this squirrel the other day and he said, "My nuts?"
And I said "Yes, your nuts."
"You're nuts!" He shouted back.
"Well, can't blame me for asking."
The moral of the story being - never try to separate a squirrel from his nuts.

So the only issue I see is if 2 anonymous entities are vying for the last few tickets or large purchase of tickets as 1.000BTC is approached. Split the purchase or rollover into next round? If I send 0.100 BTC and expect those odds, then surprised to find my chances were split between 2 lotteries, then I may be disappointed. Any chance of choosing a rollover option? Maybe 2 lotteries running concurrent - one for split and one for rollover.

Do you recommend trying to send 0.001 without TX fee? Because as long as you continue the lottery, the fee is the killer - not yours but the dumb-ass clients. I used a forked client until 8.1 because fees are no longer fractions of a BTC. Only installed 8.1 because of the blockchain screwup last month.
Good luck with your project lottery, very clean idea. Well thought out and unriggable? Hope the nerd police don't find a flaw.

Looks legit. I think I'll try it out.
Odds are 999/1
any recommend on bet size vs. reward?

..., I agree with several of the other people here that probably the best approach is to come up with some ground rules (e.g. the number of votes to set forth a motion, voting procedures, things like that) then set up some kind of forum (could be based on bitcointalk.org - I'm sure theymos would set up a subgroup if you ask nicely). I don't think trying to come to a consensus on how a consensus should be arrived at will work  Regarding helping people - I actually find it far more rewarding to help people posting in /r/bitcoin than here - since people actually seem grateful of information rather than trying to turn every single thread into a flamewar/argument. Will I agree with you about! Do you remember the first alt coins and BTCExpress/LukeJr.? I left, couldn't stand it. I would ask a question on certain IRC channels and get pissy/no replies because everybody had stakes in the game. Turf wars over nothing. MikeH&MikeG/Gavin/Hal were not always available to bounce ideas off of. TVM and PAL technologies are tough curves for a Flash programmer. oof! The amount of trolling is getting exponential. We need a place for educating newbs/alt-devs/afficianados of every ilk so the pressure is removed off the forums. I watched Matthew N Wright chase a new forum member around for 4-5 days calling him Atlas,?!? ... really? Ignore buttons don't change the fact of ignorant. How do you keep the hardware/mining/pools forum so clean? I know humor and tough skin help but newbies can't tell who is serious and who is not. I would not invite my enemies to these forums because of the way any/all topics get smeared with equal/magnanimous shit. I just want a forum/user group where "here is where you get x information" not buffalo crap and bananas. *edit forgot an h! |

Do you have examples of where the community was consulted on an issue in anything more than a "let's pretend we haven't made the decision already" manner?
I asked first I think you'll find that there is a *lot* of discussion on the bitcoin irc channel(s), on the git pull request(s), and a bit on the bitcoin-dev mailing list, all of which are open and anyone can participate in. Once again - I'd be interested if you could point out a situation where the 'will of the community' is being ignored? Will So, is this a conversation or just goading? I fail to see where holding your breath for a reply, or nee-ner, nee-ner is bringing the community closer to discussion of a User Group? Andreas, you have my attention and I'll help out anyway I can. Local exposure here in the Maritimes, nationally here in Canada, quizzing, educating, meetings, whatever. WillPhase, you have a great forum here to supply all knowledge concerning hardware/mining/pools and such. Any devs needing help for anything other than altcoin, good luck with that. I want User Groups, and I want it soon. Not a troll-pile sent by other devs to derp,derp the hell out of threads that have nothing to do with them or their projects. Find a thread on bitcointalk.org that has not been overrun with FUD, only exists on the hardware/mining/pools section. Because you would not put up with that if someone went all out, misdirection lying herp derp on your frequent hangouts. You cleaned out your deadwood, we do not have that option because the nature of education and development. |

From the moment I first saw Proudhon until today I can only say: - You trolled, but gracefully so. - No malice, just intense glee! - No Fucks were givens. - You left a trail of frightened children and soiled shorts. ...Could you please take your entourage with you? PS. and what about this pile of dirty socks everywhere?  |

I read your postings on Kurzweil last year and saw that code theory is not matching current hardware limitations. With HPC and parallel chips soon dominating, we can begin experiments like Sums to One. It sounds like a peer to peer organization of data flow, which is good. What does the system do?
I waited for some solidification of Bitcoin protocol with version 8+ (hopefully no forks in the future). Diaspora* ties to the ruby-coded human logic. Aka. "What's for supper?" Bitmessage acts as a xBitEngine client that uses lite client verification https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128230.0BlockChain exists on OT server as a reference and has OT server in the background to perform chaumian blinding on all TXs. Another piece is something MikeHeath and Hal Finney pointed me to; TPMs acting as a simple TRUST PAL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154290.0All tied nicely in a bow. Thereby, squaring Zooko's Triangle. Trust on both ends of the system. PS. I just checked Kurzweil... sleep much?  |

Hey Ben!
Nice to see you back again. Too long away in my opinion.
I believe you are working on something again? Let us know when you got some basics worked out.
Thank you for your MerkleWeb concept, still trying to "get' the basic math for a recursive functionality that can act as proper VM for all constructs.
So reverse the direction of stock market? Novel and very inline with what I'm working on. My concept uses the client environment to fulfill the trust state between individuals. Using all parameters to judge fitness. Fitness never has to make a call to 3rd-party entities and requires that no one harms themselves or others to remain valid - identity-wise.
PS That trippy puzzle/wave thing made me see in 11D!

Hey Tracker, remember your idea for a voting system/decentralized idea machine? ... our collective intelligence out-computes anything that a centralized system could produce, it can only be delayed.
...
Parts of Bitcoin are rushing to the center to compete with existing systems, while other development is racing to the edge of what is possible. Guess which angle has more real estate? The new possible is unpredictable, undeterministic, wild and untamed. The frontier of our existence just within reach. Let them(whoever) set a price on Bitcoin, regulate and strangle innovation. Innovation has already moved from the center, never to return. They may possess only the illusion of centrality, we remain dismissive of compromise and contention. |
