Crazy that one browser based cat game can bring Ethereum to its knees.

I guess that kills my idea of using Ethereum for a phone app I had planned.

Many coins have low transaction rate capabilities it seems, Dash boasts high rate but you cant insert custom information into TX for games etc.

I hope flixxo succeeeds.

What mechanism/s will prevent value being extracted by bots?

The propositions I have heard in presentations about flixxo include: Gradual trust ramps (having users build up rep before flix sale allowed) and the mention of user behavior heuristics, but both of these are relatively simple to exploit.

Something more complex will be needed, Turing tests within the videos; a general comprehension test at the end of the video (would also encourage users to be more attentive).

Or perhaps make the videos have interactive components within them, make the ads into a game.

However: the technicalities of doing this and making it secure with minimal centralized traffic seem challenging, if not impossible. Should the market grow large then incentive for hackers to exploit will be high.

Hi, When back testing are you training against some prior subset of the price signal?

That is:
assuming the signal ranges time t0 .... tx
You train against t0 ... t(x-k)
You test against t(x-k) ... tx

Yeah, I recommend having a dedicated box to just run a 24/7 tradebot on.

I'm using a $30 second hand Android tablet velcrod to my bedroom cabinet, it makes a nice room clock with live BTC chart and modest power consumption that also bot trades on BTC-E 24/7.

I just renewed the SSL certs on cortex7.net site, I let it lapse because I've been mad busy with contract work on non bitcoin stuff.
So everything is back up for free charting etc with good HTTPS.

It may not be the "countries" orchestrating this, the "countries" may be mere holding pens for us cattle.

Maybe this is being orchestrated by the farmers and the farmers may have fireproof suits in which to enjoy the pyrotechnic spectacle.

Provided you increase your longs every trough then you should do well.

Buffer is correct. Everything exists between 0 and 1 probability.

It's probably impossible to get pure vacuum and just as impossible to get infinite density.

Reality and probabilities (real ones) have to exist within this real range.

Besides that it's far more interesting to keep ones mind open.

You are incorrect here.

Emergent complexity is very easy to prove to yourself.

Just learn a little about simple genetic algorithms and try for yourself.

It's a game with no end.

There is no ultimate truth, and that's not a problem for me as I'm agnostic.

Let's say that we all wake up one morning and we all have a popup box in our field of view reading "you are in a simulation".

Would we all discover any truth...?  no, there will always be more questions... do the creators of our sim exist in a higher sim, or are they "real" etc. steps would have to be taken to determine possible causes for the shared popup, was it some weird virus dropped by ETs etc.

Only an egotistical fool would think they could find ultimate truth either way. Everybody should apply the best-fit solution to their own perceptions. But it does puzzle me how many theists sit like stubborn toddlers trying to push a square peg in a round hole, still if that pleases them then so be it.

I also note that those with polarized minds (theist and atheist) tend to stop researching and playing. Once they've labelled the box it gets shut, after that their faces drop a little and they become "adults", me I'm a 42 year old boy, I try to hold the same awe when I view the stars as when I was 10. I guess a simple term for agnostic is "keeping an open mind".

Almost all arguments against evolution are "but the gaps".

There needn't be gaps.

People find it very hard to understand that a seemingly clever design can have happened without prior plans or blueprints, but they do!


The concept of the metabolic recipe was not forethought and engineered, it was not designed.

The working recipe emerged through evolution. Many many non working recipes were tried and failed.

Evolution only favors a surviving replicator (obviously).

The complexity of life emerges.


The self correcting mechanisms within a genome were not programmed, they themselves emerged trhough an evolutionary process. The simplest start down this path probably happened by a genome having informational redundancy possibly having multiple copies of the same information and then choosing best of (have 3 copies choose 2 if 1 is different), the life that could do this more efficiently (by consuming less energy) would be favored survivors/reproducers. And so there is a driving force to make the correction mechanism more elegant (use less energy).

Error correction mechanisms were themselves mutated, most failed miserably, the best replicated onward.

Evolutionary drive for self correction mechanisms will be highest during times of turmoil, for example times when earth had alot of incident ionizing radiation for one reason or another.

I am sure of my answer here because I have myself used synthetic genetic algorithms to optimize various lossless audio compression codecs. I have witnessed complexity beyond which I entered as the programmer. This complexity emerges and will not be understood by the programmer.

I have also used evolutionary genetic algos to optimize parameters on very complex systems (neural net topology and weight setting), to brute force tune such systems would take far too long (years), but the evolutionary algo performs multidimensional gradient descent to good solutions very quickly.

I cannot stress enough how amazed I was to see such complexity and order arise from VERY simple operators.

These operators are: Crossover and Mutation.

These operators happen naturally in any self replicating chemistry.

I recommend learning a little about the subject you seem so keen to dismiss:

http://www.obitko.com/tutorials/genetic-algorithms/crossover-mutation.php

NOTE: The above page uses far clearer and simpler language than the text you linked, which reads like it's written by a dunce with a scientific thesaurus.

EDIT:
Incidentally, Self correcting codes, when you visualize the information flow topology, have very simple repeating patterns.

These codes also appear to be in the very quantum fabric of spacetime itself:

To me that's more interesting than them existing in life (which is kind of to be expected).

@Decksperiment

Bravo! You seem to have quite the flair for gay porn. No doubt you mastered the art from solid experience. Perhaps you could earn some satoshis in this field? Best of luck to you you haggis brained kestrel super strength fueled peg toothed balding buffoon.

Well you have helped secure the block chain so that's cool.

Admin are receiving messages from you.

And those messages are asking who you have ignored?

Do you not know who you have ignored.

Lay off the pipe dude.

Admin of this board are like us, nerds.

You need to fuck off. you're a troll, just because you loaded reaver onto a laptop does not make you worthy, you're a low grade user and have never coded anything in your addled life.

Holy fuck, don't tell me you read your own post history. That's sad as fuck.

Come at me bro...

295 seconds elapsed (~5 mins) and...


Haha, did that include foreplay or did you just go straight to the vinegar strokes!


YOU EEEDEOT!

Clearly you can read our posts, otherwise why would you assume we were talking to you? Well you do have delusions of grandeur so you probably would. Fuck this is getting complicated!

But anyway, Fuck You again!
