There are no negative comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and some of the opinions I agree with. Now my Backspace key died, so something needs to change!

First block chain that provably has 1 million unique daily users wins.

Deal or no deal?

When trying to achieve something like that, it is a big risk. All your hard effort might flop. So of course most people would prefer something more immediate and more controllable such as an ICO.

All I can say is I try to find something I enjoy working on which feels exciting. I am not any of those other people, because I am myself, unique and flawed as the person I am.

I don't respect these ICOs, and I didn't scream when ETH did theirs because it was apparently done with legal counsel (although I still don't agree that they think they can side skirt regulations against selling to non-accredited US investors). They are those who are afraid to risk it all for greatness. And so they make a silly thread like this.

Fuserleer those are some kinds words.

Okay everyone back to your regularly scheduled ICO programming. Nothing more to see here. Goodnight.

Has Charles responded to your request to meet?

There was no request. You can try to read the thread again and I understand if English is not your native language. I'd be delighted if you quote the post you misunderstood (I know of course exactly what you are referring to).

I find it hilarious if you are implying that I need to ride on Charles' coattails. I am quoting this for posterity which we can look back on retroactively.

This was where you lost it. That guy should have gone to the ignore list.
Look at where the topic was before and look at it now.

Your input was great and i was very interested on how it would develop, but then the subject that really matters was buried under a pile of bullshit by those trolls.
The usual gangbang when they dont like whats going on.

Ah no worries. Secret weapon is coming soon to turn them into pixie dust.

That is entirely the wrong conceptualization. The semantics of the C++ code is captured by the type system.

Which, again is a spec on a book. It's theory.

Compilation and asm output is all about the compiler, no?

If the output is violating the invariants, it is a bug and should be reported.

U dont quite believe that tho

~CfA~

I actually do. If I was smart, I would never have posted in this forum starting in 2013. My life would have been much better.

Elegance and comprehensibility via holistic unification of design concepts. You basically have to know the C compiler source code now to know what it will do. The 1000+ pages of specification is a clusterfuck.

Actually in order to understand what the compiler will try to do, you must first have a good grasp of another few thousand pages: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/manuals/64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462.pdf

...and even then, practice will destroy theoretic behavior. I'm seeing this over and over and over.

Did the low-level optimizations violate any of the invariants of the C or C++ code? See the problem is that these languages have corner cases where there are insufficient invariants and thus you don't get what you thought the invariants were.

The language is just a syntax written on a book for programmers ("that's how you'll code the X language"), and the text file that the coder codes. But it's all happening in the compiler really.

That is entirely the wrong conceptualization. The semantics of the C++ code is captured by the type system. If the type system invariants are not tight as you expected due to inability of expression in the language design or obscure corner cases, then the optimization or generation of assembly output would not match what you think it should be.

Those giving the middle finger to the SEC are really risk takers:

He had paid over $35 million in assets handing them to his former attorneys in 2002 for restitution in the criminal case. He argued that the SEC has failed to show he had not been compliant with the government. The SEC contended that Durante was still on the hook for over $25 million to them.

So in other words, every agency can go after you for the same amount of money because Walker effectively held that if you paid even in full to one agency, it does not matter and cannot be credited toward another. There is absolutely no foundation in law for Judge Walker’s abusive pro-government decision.

Now this week, another contempt was imposed in New York City federal court confirming anyone who has any account tied to a New York entity should get the hell out of town and fast.  New York U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on Tuesday said the founder of defunct hedge fund ThinkStrategy Capital Management LLC, who owes the SEC and others nearly $30 million, is still in contempt of court and must remain incarcerated indefinitely. Engelmayer said he was troubled by the lack of effort on the part of Chetan Kapur to show that he doesn’t have access to significant assets or to help his attorneys gain access to an email account which may shed light on whether or not he has funds in overseas bank accounts. In other words, he is in prison and will not be released until he PROVES he has no money overseas. The SEC has flipped the law so you are now guilty until you prove yourself innocent.

Many argue you cannot do business in Russia or China because they still lack the RULE OF LAW. I am sorry, but so does New York City. When I asked a lawyer in New York why the government never charges bankers; his response was telling: “You do not shit where you eat.” There is simply no hope to save the system anymore without a complete crash and burn.

Have I not explained my stance now?

Yes, you admit you are against Synereo because you do not understand it.

Because they have only provided hand-waving technobabble and no specification that could be peer reviewed by anyone here.

The rest of your post was a combination of disingenuous drivel and more hype to pump some technobabble. Good luck.

Again you are speaking nonsense. There is ample material for review and comment at http://blog.synereo.com/ and the basic information at http://www.synereo.com/learn-more/, in the weekly hangouts and on the slack.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand-waving

I tried to extract the details from those various resources and was unable to. It is hand-waving technobabble. You can continue to lie to readers. That is your prerogative.

While I agree completely that more formal up do date publications would be nice, there are some pretty awesome innovations weekly

Formal paper won't help us to vet it. We need a layman's explanation of the math. And pretty awesome technobabble hype is hand-waving.

I consider Greg's time better spent on developing Synereo which is why the community is taking on expressing Greg's abstract mathematics in terms you might understand.

Okay you can delay the inevitable wherein it will be shown to be a flawed technology. That will not help you.

There is a huge gulf between abstract theory and practice. Every homebuilder knows this. Greg will be cut down to size by reality later.

Not sure how you can live in the Philippines with that US supremacist attitude, but I wouldn't go as far as telling it to the locals. It would be the worst place to do it just right before a crypto-currency forum.

Could you be more specific as to what you are threatening to pay someone to do to me?

Btw, the filipinos love the USA and agree it is supreme. Most all are dreaming to go there. And millions have.

I like the filipinos just the way they are. I lowered my standard-of-living and lived with them in a squatter village and gained all their infections and suffering so that I could be one of them. And they know now I am one of them. Just like them I learned to survive on rice and salt. I learned how to not have $1 to buy food with. Yeah I really did. Still to this day, if I return to that squatter community, they call out my name. Adults who were little kids when I used to live there, and old poeple who were adults then. They remember me because even I had nothing, I would make a huge Christmas party with as much food as I could buy and the entire village would come eat and party. And I would dance in the mud with them. And I was just like them. Not higher.

I personally don't admire the USA much. But one thing I do admire is our technological chops and our ability to get things done and take pride in doing the right thing.

No more time to waste on these losers. My posts stand on their merits. I stated upthread the sample size is too small. There is no backpedaling and I know damn well you are trying to find some way to salvage your massive defeat in this thread.

Sorry you've lost. Which is what you deserve because you do bad things. Bye.

Karma will get you. Mark my word. (And if you really piss me off maybe some of my New Orleans black magic voodoo too, hehe)

You start to troll him with your post because of his nationality, this is way 2 obvious from the content. Stop dude.

I am not trolling. I am stating the issues around scamming. These guys seem to think they can sell their wares to us in the USA while adhering only to their culture and legal system, while telling us they don't give a fuck about our culture and legal system. So I am telling them why not sell their wares to their own countrymen in their own culture and legal system.

The reason they don't is because they know their own countrymen won't buy the shit (and probably break both of their legs after being scammed). So they have to peddle their shit illegally on us across the wire.

This is slowly turning into heavy racism on your part.

Since when was a nationality and/or culture a race. I might even have Russian ancestry. I am far from rascist dude. I am against scammers. Period.

My point was quite clear and had nothing to do with race.

Bad Russians, lol.

Why are you not marketing your ICO to Russians first then? Why not write your website in Russian so we can't pesker you.

You want to take from our high productivity (CfB seems to think the USA stole everything it has using our military and reserve currency), yet you don't want to respect our legal systems.

Make a decentralized token and get it widely adopted, then you won't need to beg for money before the product is even created. Or go get non-public investment from professionals/angels who do their due diligence. Or market to your own nation and the laws you have there. Or do a crowdfunding for contributions not providing any monetary value in return.
780  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The altcoin topic everyone wants to sweep under the rug on: April 15, 2016, 03:55:07 PM
wait a sec shelby. shouldnt this be the job of the US non-accredited investors to decide what they can or cant do.

Originally I supported this perspective, which also seems to be supported by the actual history of the blueksky laws in the USA:

http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2679&context=fss_papers

What changed my mind is the altcoin arena has turned totally away from any sane decentralized designs to the proof-of-shit/stake designs which are really just MLM investment scams in disguise that prey on the gambling instinct in humans.

It is regressing the progress of our technologies, not advancing them.


More abstractly, you are essentially arguing that every member of society is an island and can protect him/herself from every threat alone.

Shouldn't it be the job of every citizen of a nation to defend themselves against a nuclear bomb using their handgun.

The reason the USA protects the little man from his own gambling instinct is because it is known to be an impoverishing addiction that leads to deleterious outcomes for society. Whether it didn't entirely come about for that reason, the public seems to support the regulation of gambling.

My more abstract generative essence statement on regulation is as follows. Any market which is not self-regulating, i.e. which is dysfunctional and not behaving as a free market, will end up regulated by special interests. My definition of "free market" is decentralized market. So the reason the altcoin market is not decentralized and is dysfunctional, is because of asymmetric information. The speculators entirely lack the ability to understand the technobabble. They entirely rely on a few "experts" to guide them. And thus the market does not function. It regresses.

What a pile of bull shit. Laws related to finances have only one real purpose - to help banksters to keep the current status quo. Of course, lawmakers pretend they work hard to protect us against terrorists/pedophiles/immigrants. There are only few people here who believes them.

You don't even comprehend what I wrote. It is far above your abstraction capacity.

When markets don't have decentralization (which in this case is centralized due to asymmetric information which is why only accredited or sophisticated investors are allowed because they have more motivation to become informed and have proven they will do their DD), then those effectively centralized markets WILL BE INEVITABLY regulated/captured by special interests. It is an inevitable outcome of the lack of a free market due to centralization (in this case asymmetry of information is a form of centralization of the market). Thus the market can't anneal to productive investment, due to the lack of decentralized decision making (e.g. all the fools rely on the information from a few "experts" who manipulate them).

And you forgot to point out that you are one of the special interests who are milking the fools and just as culpable as the banksters you try to deflect their attention to.

You are pretending you are the good car salesman and the banksters are the bad car salesmen. Nice one!  Wink

You’ll be greeted by a friendly sales person—and if he’s any good at what he does, he’s also personable and disarming.

What follows is a classic episode of the good-cop-bad-cop game with your salesman pretending to be arguing for you. I say pretending because the manager and your salesman work for the same organization, are both on commission, and both stand to benefit from you paying a higher price. They’re on the same side, get it?

This sad comedy plays out several times during the negotiations with the salesman conducting a physically impressive begging routine, while his manager makes exaggerated side to side motions with his face as if to say “definitely not”—all playing out in a corner office with glass walls so you can see the drama unfold inside. Finally, after your salesman has done “all he can”, the manager makes a quick guest appearance to deliver the let-me-give-you-our-bottom-line speech.
