So your argument against a flexible format is because it requires a hardfork to change existing fields?  Well sure, if you change a fields meaning completely then I'm sure it would be a hard fork, that has no relation whatsoever to the benefits of a flexible format.  Flex Trans benefit was it is easy to ADD fields as soft forks and OMIT them if they are not necessary.  I mean hell, why don't we switch the www to hard coded binary formats, i mean we can just switch to the new format when we need to!  No forward thinking required!

One more please

Highly recommend this stream!  Thanks winter

Dang, im late.  One more?

Chrome has problems with this site now.  Memory climbs astonomically and it eventually crashes the page.

Does bitcoin have this?  Obviously the math would differ in bitcoin possibly, i'm speaking only in the functionality.  I would think this would be a good addition to multisignature...the idea of one key having more 'importance/relevance' than another with differing numbers of keys required based on their 'level'.

Maybe you have a situation such as two master keys, and 5 subkeys.  Where both master keys must sign, or one master key and 3 subkeys, or all 5 subkeys..etc etc.  The permutations are enormous obviously.

(4) By using tuples of polynomial values as Di pieces, we
can get a hierarchical scheme in which the number of
pieces needed to determine D depends on their importance.
For example, if we give the company's
president three values of q(x), each vice-president
two values of q(x), and each executive one value of
q(x), then a (3, n) threshold scheme enables checks to
be signed either by any three executives, or by any
two executives one of whom is a vice-president, or by
the president alone.

This was Josh's plan ever since he started feeling the government heat.  Muddy the waters by shutting things down, moving them to non profits, giving Primes away to them...even to an exchange.  Disgusting

It still won't help him, I predict major jail time.

Touche

It's pretty clear the only reason the 5PH was purchased was for the hype/legitimacy, Homero attempted to get the announcment out and stealth cancel the payment wire.  Once he realized he had to follow through to get the announcement they probably had a go at setting up the mining but they were bleeding money and Josh said F it, sell them all.

With regard to #5.

Disclaimer: I have never owned nor ever will a paycoin.  I have watched this shit show for entertainment.  My personal belief is that the coin should just die and go away.

Anyone can mathematically search for a valid private key containing any number of coins and move them to an address they control.  Is this theft?  I don't believe it is, you don't own coin, you have information that lets you control coin.  If that information gets out, your coins are gone.  Not only that, your "control" of a coin is also regulated by consensus.  If consensus says your coins are no good, they are no good.  Technically speaking you don't really own anything in this world, you may have a piece of paper that "proves" you own something, but it doesn't mean jack to someone in the position of power to take it from you anyways.

Every person has the right to move onto the new fork if they want, that includes exchanges.  The ease of which this fork could be pulled off screams to the fact that this is a shit coin, and not much will ever change that.  The idea that exercising free will by upgrading some software somehow is illegal is just not true.

Or... "I feel like you are being attacked hard by Satan."

Wow, his paranoia is pretty bad, his wife basically told him she is scared of him.  He seems to have manic/bipolar tendencies.  He should really get that checked out.

LOL, more sensationalist speak from Homero.  How many times has this guy switched attorneys?  I wonder if all the sheep understand that they are paying for this "top legal firm in the world" from his dumps of XPY, if it exists at all.  Nobody in their right mind says this stuff except to get a reaction from the people he is writing it to, notice he posts this in his own forum.  Always trying to frame it as "us vs them (evildoers, fudsters)".

Please post an archive or some other content so the people without logins to hashtalk can see what you are talking about.

WARNING - another troll derailing the conversation.  Do not engage

Can someone explain how those emails ended up on google groups?  If they were leaked emails, why were they taken down?  This implies Josh or GAW had the control over it.  I don't understand.  Did they accidentally publish all their emails to google?

You bet your ass google has a copy of each and every email plus attachments now.

Item C. 11 from the Subpoena.

"For each investor identified in response to Item 8 above, all Documents Concerning the investment of (or other use of) those funds by GAW, the terms of the investments, and the current location of investor funds."

That's a doozy

So is Item C. 6

"Documents sufficient to disclose all domestic and foreign bank, brokerage, or other financial accounts, including bitcoin or Paycoin wallets, held by or on behalf of GAW from January 1, 2014."

I wasn't able to grab what I saw, but there were emails that showed Garza was actively working on Paycoin 2.0.  The design documents were behind an authentication wall.

Holy crap, I was trying to figure out how to download all that.  Hopefully someone was on the ball and used some api to grab as much as possible.  That was a freaking gold mine.
