We (Jonathan Merril and I) just published a paper proposing treatments for COVID19 based on RNA silencing and vaccines based on phage-display technology by epitopeRX.

The paper can be downloaded here - https://lnkd.in/g7GRjpz.

My thread on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6646004968501444608/

We'll happily answer all questions.

aApps will be supported by means of pluggable VMs. Both Turing complete and non-Turing complete (I somehow prefer more limited environment in case of contracts). The actual choice of VMs will depend on interest and external developers. BL will provide only an API and own VM at a later stage.

You don't see as there is an important factor missing in the sentence you cite. Spatial distribution serves here as means for efficient sharding. It enables boiling down global problems to local ones. You may treat it as a distant echo of Bell's theorem in flat space.

Could you please specify which layer you have in mind?
As there can be governance with respect to the company that develops specific targeted solutions and is a vehicle to pay developers for their efforts, there will be a foundation taking care about core development, there is a community and many more.

There are sometimes ideas that look simple and effective, but after closer look are neither simple, nor effective (no offence intended). But let me elaborate.
While I find some Peter Shiff remarks interesting, in general I consider his views as being fairly naive. But let's assume his stance is genuinely non-partisan (which is not) and his conclusion about cryptocurrencies and internal competition valid (even if based only on common sense and no actual hard data).

I could port Bitcoin to Bitlattice with no big effort. It poses however multiple issues that aren't of technical nature.

First of all, such attempts were made with other mechanisms. As you may have noticed, they never performed very well. This stems from a simple fact that the ecosystem Bitcoin is consists of a vast set of different groups of interest. Some commercially motivated, some gov led, some probably with even stranger motiations. I know this setup and hardly would like to dive in it. Because ultimately you end up as a tool.

Maybe not as important as the above, but such operation would involve months of pointless arguments and groups of interest pushing from all sides. Which I find neither productive nor beneficial for Bitlattice itself.

To sum all up - if presented with constructive and reasonable proposal by guys able to deal with all side shit I will certainly consider such fork or clone. Given however that such situation is unlikely to happen I doubt that I'll invest my time to make such fork concurrently with Bitlattice itself. Maybe later, as a side thing.

Ps I find you in September, unless it's different Arsène

If someone ever wondered why we've chosen our deployment strategy to be independent (and thus harder and demanding) from a crowd this is why. Because we'll deliver when we'll be happy with what we have and when external circumstances will seem to be most favorable. Without a need to explain why not now, or not two days earlier.
Living in information age gives rare opportunity to meet people with extraordinary talents. Like precognition in this case. While your long term prediction is faulty when it comes to Bitlattice, I (and other readers around I believe) would love to know BTC rate in a week from now. Please share.

It's mentioned up there - ^F in full view will give an answer.

I mentioned it already in this thread (few times) - WP will go together with working prototype. Please ^F next time.

Which assumption? Please clarify your whole message, as it looks messy.
Regardless - it scales very well. But when it comes to comparisons - apples to apples. You asked for apples to elephants - it's meaningless. More, I don't give numbers just to give numbers. I don't have to.

Yes, PQ safe. It was one of goals. As to comparisons with anything - they are meaningless (and with BTC probably most meaningless). Plus, I prefer having it live in small scale (which will happen soon) to give actual results. I could say it's very fast, but such declaration would be as empty as most around.

I use ring based one as well. Custom, but not very different. It just must take into account internal features of Bitlattice.

Side note: guys around (not only those from Darmstadt) should let poor Tesla rest in peace finally instead of giving him a post mortem job of pumping their businesses .

Thanks for care, but I only do what I can and want to, so no worries. I find answering here both useful and entertaining. While my team could take this burden exclusively on their shoulders I can find some spare minutes to write here as well.

Thanks for clarification. I prefer having everything totally transparent.

I assume that if someone would come to Holo who after finding a kind of critical vulnerability they would have some funds in reserve to reward such person. While it differs from bounty program it's essentially a bounty. This is what I meant opting for an amount for bounties. Not a bounty program per se, as in such case I share your (and others) view.

My stance when it comes to bounties is ambivalent. I remember times when bounties played a vital role in making blockchain more mature. On the other hand, now they are often granted for cosmetic things and treated as PR magnet.
I would opt for having small fund for bounties, but only those really touching the metal. Otherwise it will start looking like bazaar.

Not yet. I already explained my approach to ICO. If we decide, this thread will be updated prior to such action.

Because I'm against the flow when it comes to privacy. Out of social media accounts under my real credentials I had only a Fakebook one. Years ago. Abandoned it after a year of almost no use. If I have friends they are real. If I would want to show them a color of my shit I would lead them to my toilet (the question is why should I do that?).
Showing under true name wouldn't make anything more legit. Actually there are loads of projects in different online areas build around fake credentials with long history (they cost some grands). So, names aren't so sure nowadays.
What makes it legit is that anyone that asks me for personal meeting and wishes to go on a trip (sometimes distant) has it granted. No problem in meeting me in person, just requires some real world effort.
And the approach pictured above won't change.

Bitlattice includes some possible uses in IoT, but its origin is broader (I already explained it). Nevertheless IoT uses are important.
As to community - fully agree.

Multichain is a known scheme - used in variety of projects. Holochain has distributed hash table that stores hashes of child chains. Not very new approach, but nicely done. BL differs by using spatial distribution to deal with computational and storage constraints.

DAG solves blocks problem (even if blockchain is DAG by itself and BL as well, but I know you meant specific implementations), but has still an issue with data continuity.
BL has no need for full nodes after certain saturation threshold is reached (however there will always be some full nodes kept by foundation). And still retains continuity.
Most of answers to you question "how" are in this thread.
