What is going on with grin coin? I read some of the comments on here and they don't seem too bad, and the general cryptocurrency market is not doing bad right now but the grin coin price is down like 70% since it started trading on Poloniex.  Are they diluting, company selling coins on the market, or no buying interest? I bought some, bought more then bought more and all I did was lose Cry

Well maybe you should have done some research before buying some and then buying some more and then buying even more. Grins price is doing exactly what it was forecasted to do so why are you surprised?

What would be your counter-argument be on anonymint's "disingenuousness"?

I know that he's using Monero's policy of its bi-annual hard fork schedule as his debate that it's a centralized control on how much fees there should be on your the network, but I want to hear an agitated response. Hahaha.

I don't get paid enough (actually not at all) to argue.

All the Devs went to Redditt, ask there.

Our family doctor is a muslim. I've been going to him since I was a kid. He hasn't tried to kill me yet.
Which doesn't change that muslim terrorists are a result of their religion and that so-called "peaceful" or "moderate" muslims side with them over us when they are forced to make the choice.

Perhaps.
I have trouble declaring an entire group as an enemy when only some of them are clearly at war.

Kind of like the jews. We all know jews have started or are deeply involved with almost every evil institution to come out of the west in the last 500 years, etc. However, most of them are just living their lives like the rest of us.  

OTOH, I'm reminded sometimes of the "Rwandan Genocide". Hutus and Tutsis lived next door to each other. They had each other over for dinner, watched each other's kids, etc. But when ethnic tensions boiled over, they were hacking each other's families up with machetes.
"Some of them" are a product of "all of them" and have the support of the majority, silent or otherwise.

We simply can not coexist with them within the same culture. They don't want to, even if we did. Which we don't, not when they become numerous enough to enforce their will as per the above link.

Whether you are correct or not (actually I am giving you too much benefit of the doubt with your hate filled phoney baloney), why the fuck don't you get back to talking about bitcoin or at least attempting to make some points in this thread that relate to bitcoin.  Did you know what thread you are in?    So, anyhow, based on your 20 pages non-topical focus and your pissing off of a lot of active on-topic participants in this thread, including distracting from the topic, I think that it would be good if infofront would delete your last 20 pages of myopic baby-penis non-acceptance focused hatred posts... just to teach you a lesson that a little off-topicness might be o.k. and tolerable, but you are on an emotional based obsession, which likely alienates a decent number of people who are involved in bitcoin.. believe it or not there are some muslims of various levels of belief and practices and some are involved in bitcoin... jewish peeps, too..

At least Adam used to delete Roach when he got too out of hand, for some reason infofront is providing a platform for them

The platform is people that quote it, the ignore works just fine.

Not to mention the tons of Atheists and Agnostics (myself included) that don't need to hear small minded morons spouting hate for an entire race/culture, creed/religion or political belief because they have no ability to see through anything but their own eyes.

Hi Monero community, I know anonymint spreads misinformation, but before I debate with a user who posted this blog's link in a Lightning Network topic, I would like to know more if the statement quoted, and bolded is true.

https://steemit.com/blockchain-scaling/@anonymint/lightning-networks-must-fail-if-it-succeeds

Quote

Monero’s adaptive block size protocol doesn’t prevent the destruction of the transaction fee market because without the minimum transaction fee periodically adjusted by centralized control (the same @fluffypony centralized control that is recently changing the PoW every ~6 months in a futile attempt to defeat ASICs) promotes the block size to increase so that transaction fees decline to ~0 (i.e. to miners’ negligible incremental costs for adding additional transactions).


Is there a "minimum transaction fee" adjusted by centralized control?

He's being disingenuous, sure we added bulletproofs (which had the desired side effect of lower fees) during a scheduled update and we would probably add any safe method to lower fees and or bloat during a scheduled update but calling that centralized is a joke.

Has there been a massive MSM outrage yet? Against the letter?

Far right, hardcore anti-immigration senator from Australia? Unlikely there will be.

But the idea that somehow immigrants are responsible for their own unprovoked, cold-blooded murder is fucking sickening.
And accurate.

You don't have to like it, but it is a fact that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western culture. They have no business here. And no place at all to play victims.

So let me get this straight: you're saying they deserved to be massacred? And being a victim of a massacre isn't an appropriate time to "play victim"?

Yes. And their little children too, they are all part of the same group.

But not their dogs.

And no, I am not joking. The dogs did nothing wrong.

welcome to ignore.

I am inclined to agree with BTCMillionaire that that individual has forfeited their right to life.  You?

Mt. Gox's former head Mark Karpeles found guilty by Tokyo District Court. Sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison. More details to follow
https://twitter.com/ynakamura56/status/1106362801193279488

More details: The sentence is "suspended" (執行猶予) meaning he may not actually have to serve time in prison. Still waiting for full report from the court

Update: He was found guilty of tampering with financial records, but cleared of embezzlement charges. Still trying to clarify whether he will have to serve time. More to come.

How the fuck? I thought he was making personal purchases from funds he transferred to his personal account from the exchanges hot wallets? If thats not fucking embezzlement then What The Fuck Is!!!?!

Excellent points, IOU +sM

When will desktop FPGA cpus be available? 3k for a fpga cpu is not mainstream.

BTW I hate these Hybrid FPGAs being called FPGA. They are hybrids, at least Intel calls them what they are. FPGAs have no SOC component.

Thank you. Discussion continues Smiley

Had to mute it, my inbox went boom! Its going faster than the WO thread. Smiley




BTW I hate these Hybrid FPGAs being called FPGA. They are hybrids, at least Intel calls them what they are. FPGAs have no SOC component.

is this the latest development then?


Among the newest improvements in the FPGA world are System on a Chip (SoC) FPGA devices. A SoC FPGA integrates a hard processor core and programmable logic on the same die.



or BS ?

Also am I dense eeproms aren't new? its what it sounds like



I have not kept on substrate processes for almost 2 decades but from what I gleaned a few months back it seems they have been able to create programmable logic gates on the same die which is why we see the ability of these new hybrids to interface with memory at such speeds. In the past all the architecture was limited by the slower programmable gates but now they are both on die. I have no clue if they are using separate substrates fused or if there is one that can handle both forms or what, but it opens up for some really outstanding improvements if they can get the cost down on basic desktop chips and/or gpu's. ITs the fact that the SOCs are not programmable and therefore operate at full speed yet the programmable gates are on die and therefore not limited by any bus interface or limited to using the slower programmable gates as memory or controllers that makes them so quick and versitile. Hope this was clear, I'm really no longer up on any of this shit and frankly was quite surprised that they had actually managed a hybrid method. I think I postulated a year or so ago there was no way they could do it until they came up with a hybrid method and apparently they already had. Doh

I would never expect me to say this but... "When ASICs?" Roll Eyes

My train of though is that, since ASICs are usually expensive and have a long ROI, whoever buys them is expecting the coin to have a great future, no one would invest in an expensive ASIC expecting to mine a coin for the 2-3 months of its hype time.
So if people believe in the coin, then they won't dump their mined coins.

This is why I believe that the introduction of ASICs will reduce the dumping by 30%-40%.

that will just make it tank quicker and to a lower level but would make the rebound closer than a few years so bring them on, I'll buy this shit at bargain basement prices in 6 months if ASICs an Hybrid FPGAs start slamming it.
6139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: March 14, 2019, 09:11:08 PM

I've just written more:
--
Guys most of you think in too generalized manner, you attempt to predict too far future, you almost admit defeat in front of ASICs... It is a bad way methodologically.

We are living in the current iteration. There is a week passed after last hard fork to cn/r. First, it must be said, there is no FPGA or quick understanding how to program FPGA against cn/r. Technically it is possible in few hours or days. But we observe low hashrate still, week passed. So they CAN'T do that quickly at least.

Thus, fight against ASICs/FPGA is POSSIBLE. Furthermore, cn/r is quite simple algo with very basic levels of virtualization and randomization. Read my comment above, what if we introduce HARD levels of virtualization and randomization? There is physics: ASICs/FPGA can't be MUCH more profitable than CPU or GPU, if quite perfect mining algo is designed.

Today, let's focus on tasks how to add strong virtualization and randomization to the algo. RandomX with memory scratch-pad reduced from 4Gb to 256Mb (to support even Raspberry Pi) is good level of virtualization.

To add randomization we may consider external oracles like ones in Ethereum contracts or long hashes (sha512, etc) applied to concatenated transactions of last 100 blocks for example. Let's think in this direction.

Fundamental physics is on our side: if mining algo has sufficient levels of virtualization and randomization, ASIC/FPGA manufacturers MUST implement Intel-like CPU! Let them compete with Intel directly!
