Security is one of Bitcoin main problems and before that is solved we can not go mainstream for sure. Exchanges should be regulated and responsible or idk what but this now is just redicoulous.

Security the main problem of Bitcoin? LOL  Cheesy

You clearly don't know what Bitcoin really is, and how it works.

The only one that we can blame are the shitty exchanges and their amateur/noob operators.

Exactly what I just said with different words xD

Bitcoin is 100% secure in itself. On the other hand, Dumb people or tech-ignorant people are not secure. You can't blame this on bitcoin itself, only the people using it.

since I have no funds in this one, send .0005 there and ill send it back to you signed, deal?

Looking for a 0.15 BTC loan for 2.5 weeks, will repay .20 BTC (USD Equivalent due to volatility) in exactly 18 days.

I am offering zero collateral at the moment, but feel free to check my feedback and determine if I am "worth the risk".
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Chess Tournament $100 Prize in Bitcoin! on: February 07, 2015, 11:42:16 PM
Escrow address: 1PL328CQNaY2J1SpUZgeyVwwdQr2Cspuqy

Escrow Terms: Funds will be held in escrow for 10 days. If all slots are not filled within 10 days,
The funds will be sent back to the sending address. In other words, if
One person signs up, then everyone else must sign up within 10
Days or we will have to restart. Do not send funds to the stated address if you do not agree to the above terms.

We will follow the OPs suggestions, but the USD value will be adjusted based on the avg market price of BTC. Once a winner is chosen, he will be sent $100 (can vary depending on market), the OP will receive $20 (also varies) and I will keep $4 (variable).  If there is any suspicion of cheating or OP not following through, all funds will be sent back to original users and I will forfeit my escrow fee. (This must be publicly agreed upon by the majority).

If none of that makes sense, let me know and I will revise.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Chess on: February 07, 2015, 04:46:15 AM
To: OP

I am willing to offer escrow for this tournament in order to increase the odds of this happening. I am a chess fan myself, and this seems like fun, but seeing that you are of the "newbie" status, people will most likely not trust you. I am offering to hold the funds of this tournament, without releasing any payments until it is publicity determined who is the winner. I would then send the prize money, and then the 24$ to you (minus $1 escrow fee).

To discuss, please reply to this post directly (to remain public)

Would one consider an "executive", "legislative", and "judicial" branch centralized?

What if each node switched between these "roles" where:

How do you force a node to switch roles?  How do you know if a node has switched?

- legislative defines, without influence, from which sources in the "executive" branch work is accepted from

You still haven't come up with a reliable way to define a "source".

- executive does work, and only sources from which work was selected to be submitted will be sent to the "judicial" branch for review in a "pre-valid block"

Won't everyone just run an "executive" node, since that is the only node submitting work?

- Judicial branch ensures that no double spends are contained in the block etc. and then broadcasts the block
**all branches have some "judicial" power to ensure judicial branch isnt compromised

if one of these branches defects, aka 33%, then the other two branches, 66%, will further divide into 3 branches again

if two branches defect, since all branches have some judicial review, then 33%, or 1 branch, will divide into the 3 branches again, etc.

What mechanism is used to determine if a branch has defected?  How do you force any individual node to divide into another role?


Great constructive criticism. I like it! Did you work in product design and development at some point?

To address your concerns, I must say that I am in no way shape or form qualified to even begin to provide a counterarguement. As a matter of fact, I am staring at the white paper trying to think of a way to somehow modify the way bitcoin works all together. It may just be best to start an entirely new algorithm and concept and not compare it to bitcoin, yet maintain a crypto currency standard of anonymization and public transactions, etc.

As I've said a few times.  You REALLY need to think in terms of a decentralized system (where there is no identifying information available at all about the hasher), and in terms of a Sybil attack.  Until you can get your mind into that mode, you aren't going to come up with any useable ideas at all.

Note, that it took decades of people thinking in terms of a decentralized system under a Sybil attack all failing to come up with a solution until Satoshi came up with the proof-of-work secured blockchain idea.  If you seriously start thinking in terms of a decentralized system under a Sybil attack the first somewhat workable solutions that you'll come up with will all be "proof-of-something" (work, stake, storage, etc) solutions.  All of these will have the same feature of a fixed reward for completing a fixed proof.

I dont know if you can read/understand this...

http://s9.postimg.org/agazobkfj/NEWCOIN.jpg

The "proof" could possibly be something like a SET hashrate somewhat determined by the user. Say your ASIC can run at 350 GH/s, there is a prompt that asks you to set your Hashrate statically, and then a RNG adds a xx number decimal point to that static rate. So you set your rate to 322 GH/s, and then the built in RNG puts in say, 12 decimal points, so it sets your static hashrate to 322.125875456251 GH/s and that is how the network issues you your "ID" starting at 1 and ending at 999999999999 based upon the numbers after the decimal point. Is that possible? **To maintain a static hashrate**

**=Edit


OH MY. I SPELLED BROADCAST WRONG Shocked

You cannot work in IPs.
IPv6 maybe. Maybe. But as for IPv4, I know a major ISP around here which puts all its users out of a single IP.

I was just using it as an example. Basically all the network would see would be multiple "instance ID"s submitting work, be it from the same person or multiple people, no IPs are used in the selection process
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why not...? (MOD: PLEASE MOVE TO PROPER SECTION, THANK YOU!) on: January 24, 2015, 07:24:16 AM
How about this scenario:

Say you have 10 "users" (but lets say instances) mining with the following IPs
1-65.25.42.63
2-126.154.98.22
3-65.25.42.64
4-25.68.36.45
5-65.25.42.65
6-87.22.55.89
7-65.25.42.66
8-45.22.36.59
9-65.25.42.67
10-65.25.42.68

We dont *know*, except for in this scenario, that "users" 1,3,5,7,9, and 10 are the same person trying to commit an attack.

What if every block randomly generates a random number set each new block that corresponds to "instance ID's" assigned to every mining instance such that 49% of instance ID's are randomly picked to ACCEPT work from, and 2% of ID's are maintained from the previous 10 blocks to accept work from...

is there some variant of that in which you can exponentially decrease the odds of 51% of the network being under control by the same group? or is it impossible?

By basing a fixed reward on a proof of work Bitcoin prevents a Sybil attack. You have to think about how your protocol will overcome a Sybil attack in order to make it work. I don't see a decentralized way to know exactly how much hash power someone is providing.

You need a centralized entity to determine and enforce rules about splitting hash power.

The "Rules" of bitcoin are determined and enforced via code. With proper code-modification, these new "rules" would be implemented in every computer mining or running wallet software, therefore making it decentralized. Correct?

*EDIT: Plus, those rules could be variable just as difficulty is. Instead of a target block time, you have a target reward (per "user")? Maybe?*
