Royal we, it's a natural outcome of where this technology will eventually take us. I'm taking it to it's logical conclusion.

Yeah some of it is sidechains... buts it's better just to think of them as accountability ledgers... you know they just reference each other like receipts or have internal accounting systems inside the ledger or when someone registers in a different jurisdiction. It's really simple to apply to the blockchain, when I realized what it is, not to deprecate it's value, but it's incredibly secure; there is a lot of different types of data that can be securely accounted for at all times securely and at minimal cost.

I'm thinking of the most important data that we have, our credentials, associations, appointments, etc can be cross linked using blockchains.

The big blockchains are able to secure data extremely well, regardless of what it is, but simply pegging a hash of another blockchain through the Bitcoin Blockchain can secure a smaller chain of limited size. The hashes embedded in the Bitcoin transaction would carry the hash of that blockchain with the latest hash of it's next transactions pending transcription in the sidechain.

Some blockchains may be amalgamations of several blockchains working in sequence to secure it's own transactions through multiple blockchains. Merge-mining multiple blockchains, embedding blockchain hashes across multiple chains, etc.

Others may only exist inside another blockchain, referencing themselves through magnet-links to the blocks that constitute it's chain on the torrent network. reconstructing it's structure simply by tree-hashing up the chain.

And yet others may exist simply by jumping from one Blockchain to another, barely present only leaving the embedded source of where they came from using public key cryptography to secure it's path forward.

The more complex forms would link secure information across multiple Data Silo blockchains, cross referencing each other through smart contracts and linking new transactions through the most secure networks: Bitcoin,Litecoin, Peercoin,etc. Even going further forming sub-connected chains of increasing complexity... chains within chains within chains. Using Homomorphic encryption techniques would carry it even further forming compute structures openly available but securely accessible to key parties. 

given the security of Blockchain ledgers and how ledgers cross link each other in the real world, with the addition of cryptography... this opens an incredible swath of society to a lot of opportunities in the most efficient manner possible.

Just imagine a world where key news information could be transcribed openly in a secure manner onto a global Blockchain, that could easily disseminate to multiple channels across the planet at minimal cost without the use of complex datacenters... just a blockchain, a fee and secure awareness the news is going to reach it's destination no matter what for the whole world to se

registries cross referenced across the globe, so there are no hassles... your information follows you where you go ready to prove whatever you have to prove at a moments notice.

The Blockchain: secure information changes everything.

  We are developing a new technology; A way of doing things differently than they have ever been done before, with the Blockchain and Bitcoin. 

  It is obvious that as we progress further down the path that Bitcoin and it's blockchain concept allow, complexity will give rise to a sort of entropy of method because of the availability of many more disruptive technologies; Technologies such as hashes, cyphers, Homomorphic encryption, Magnet links, etc.
 
  This allows us to create Blocks within Blocks linking to Blocks of information on not just one but multiple Blockchains linked together or transactions linked together. Information simply being itself, linking and forming as it is most apparent.

  What am I talking about? Megablocks: Blockchains with separate information perogatives linked to other dynamically generated Blockchains, Hyperchains: Transactions linked across Blockchains, and Proxy Blockchains: Blockchains secured by other Blockchains, different than Mergemining, Ephemeral Blockchains: Blockchains created inside Blockchains.
  With this, new forms of Blockchains will arise linking their state, referencing each other in a secure decentralized manner, forming dynamic minichains, hashing of blockchains into blockchains for security, Magnet linking blockchain states, a multistructure web of Blockchains.

It's the end of middle men...

All economy, law, society, business is a series of ledgers that are maintained by gatekeepers; Maintainers of public and private records.

Government is a series of books, accounting for the management of Public Funds and their Mandates as dictated by appointed officials... officials offered as a choice by the ruling parties on who will choose for us.

Business is a series of appointments, receipts, transcriptions of the management of production and services, again on a ledger.

Who gets to write what is within these ledgers? What are the criteria? What is it's purpose?

Imagine a world where those who manage are no longer needed, because the trust issue has been resolved. It is an unfortunate truth that Human nature is Taciturn and ma-liable; An unfortunate result of the need for survival, maintaining ego and a myriad of factors apparent in the natural world. But the ledger does not care, it is absolute and unflinching in it's mandate.

This is the Nature of Bitcoin. A Public record of accounting not only of money, but of all records maintained by Humanity.

Imagine a world without Politicians, CEO's, Managers, Clerks, Lawyers... because the ledger is secure and absolute. Because those who control it are not individuals but rules set by the people, maintaining the record of accounts of those who abide and those who do not, all of this public and available to all as soon as it is transcribed... we become the Gatekeepers.

Those who remain are merely Citizens, Providers, Tradespeople, Businesspeople, Protectors, Artists... exchanging their property as they see fit across the planet... a One World Order By the People for the People.

One day I will purchase my Groceries ahead of time, it will be delivered to me; The things I purchase will be mine and those who need to know will know; Art, Intellectual Property, Land will be traded across the planet without dispute, Because the creator and owner is irrefutably recorded in the Ledger of Accounts for All to see called Bitcoin.

I will shake the Hands of my Brothers and Sisters and we will know that we are equals.

we will find out when we build a biologically accurate model, simulating the trillions of cells, proteins, molecules and dna... then we can find out which sequences of the dna are causing our over all sociology.

I heard Satoshi is a Extra-dimensional being from the future, stuck on earth; Technology here is so primitive, that they had to build the entire internet just to develop the means to get back to their original plain of existence.

Maybe if we build it we will find something different, logic will take us so far... until we realize that what we experience is random and the attenuation of each memory and action may be limited by physical circuits to completely understand reality... but within those limits there is a battle of what choice we make, which can be the difference between a glial cell connecting two neurons or bringing one closer to another.

The complexity of the information being percieved creates this... the chance for absolute randomness.

What controls the sequence in which we experience reality?
Can the circuitry be complex enough to assemble quantum probability within the brain?
What controls the weight that we place towards our different memories and how are they assembled within the brain? Could differences in processing sequence create different results?

What makes you think we would even need money?
How does nature do it? It's definitely not a free system, but it is a very efficient one. It takes the resources it has and manages them flawlessly, repairing areas according to available conditions.
"Nature abhors a vacuum."

and all off sunlight.

our natural system is quietly inching it's way to the absolute zero point; We can help it by imitating it. We too are on our way to the zero energy point.
As our automation grows, our software becomes more freely available, information flows freely enhancing and exposing all choices and possibilities to all.
Having access to powerful free software that enhances our ability to create and understand the world, manufacturing efficiency of an unprecedented scale... we will not need money.
Machines will be set in motion to enhance your will upon the world, digital copies of you will exist in cyberspace looking out for you. Any object can be made or recycled at no cost, because machines don't need money.

They can do the difficult job of mining; They can run space missions, take care of our banking... if it can be automated it should be and the tools to create incredible things should be freely available.

But of course we are a good 20 years away from something like that... if we're lucky. It'll probably just be a big battle as people suddenly realize... they got nothing to do. Those jobs defined them, i'm sure we'll find a place for that in an efficient future.

as was mentioned earlier we could create a system map of a human being with biological processes and everything, but not complete, just a simple map detailing organic chemical processing starting from digestion, pancreatic and liver processing, oxygenation, endocrine system, etc till we have a complete map of the entire known human processes and simply scale by making the system evolve to increased environmental stimulation from food, oxygen to outside phenomena. 

Each process would be a blockchain for itself connected to an even bigger blockchain: A blockchain for the stomach processes, Lung oxygenation, kidney function, all connected to the endocrine blockchain, connected to the musculoskeletal blockchain. Each blockchain would be sentient able to purchase processing from the higher systems or delegate to sub-systems using a token system. When a person would like to see the system in action they would purchase a token, feed it to the blockchain creature, then they would designate the stimulus to be tested whether it is food, sunlight, or a question... if we are able to feasibly get enough processing power we get an answer with a full map of the effects of the said stimulus. 

for the blockchain mining process, it would be delegated to anyone with a cpu,gpu,asic,fpga, etc capable of doing the processing, a successful attempt would reward everyone involved with a fee and newly minted tokens for them to distribute. All these nodes would be kept in a master blockchain, detailing their available capability, if they are processing or idle, or if they need to be allocated to a different process. All this could be done simply over a blockchain to take care of delegation: Token is spent,  stimulus is encrypted, nodes with the key process the stimulus, encrypt it again for the next node with the right key to process, sakura hash tree is applied so that the hash tree structure verifies which processes and nodes were involved checking their signatures by structure alone, result is checked against available records and known processes. Walla blockchain creature.

we can further gamify the system by providing a payment system like in devcoin, or bounties for completing the blockchain creature. Sign up and look at available bounties, do research, encrypt your findings with your signature, if someone uses your research to create code for the blockchain creature and it works both of you get paid with a portion of the fees for that particular process when it is used. Even pointing out missing processes gives you tokens, again encrypt it with your signature and wait for someone to do the research or do it yourself and again apply your signature and wait for takers.

considering that Bitcoin is hitting a whopping 400 petahashes! That is shocking, just imagine that type of processing going towards a virtual creature. We could advance biological research decades ahead, for much of the medical research they used specialized hardware, this could kickstart a revolution in the biomedical field.

the mental processing can be done simply by applying neurobiological research, it's not hard... if we apply all the processes completely as we know them and unleash it on the internet it will evolve it's own cognition, this already evident with neuromorphic chips that learn to identify objects on their own... if we start this now, by the time those neuromorphic chips come out we will have a very lucrative distributed research platform for people to make a living with. If someone has a computer, or a asic or even a smart phone to do basic research they can make a living too.

Maybe even create a marketplace for people to create items, food, stimuli, etc for others to try out. given the tools who knows what people could create: a atomic simulation or rochetta cheese, a heavy dose of ultra violet radation? maybe even go as far as simulating disease processes.

very interesting concept. so basically you are intending to use the blockchain as memory? each transaction is an update on an idea being processed by the active mining nodes and the relay nodes are single repositories of delegated information for the network; By doing it this way, Bitcoin has a memory that allows it to be self-aware, seeing how it has changed it's thoughts about the world as it has lived. Each person providing nourishment in the form of computation or relays of stored information.  By allowing the A.I to form it's own rules it can begin to program it's own views about life, the universe and everything... granted that it can code the appropriate system for quantifying interesting information with a robust scoping system so that it can keep on top of it's own personal priorities... which are mutable themselves.

I love the idea, why not include humans as well? it would be simple enough to setup a system like Devtome where humans contribute their knowledge to a database and make it searchable and reconfigurable by both humans and A.I. with the right tagging system a dynamic association system can emerge.

Man, I'd be all over that if I could read it. One of these days I have to start making my own blog about everything I love about Bitcoin, it's History, it's Characters, The movement everything... wow.
I love Bitcoin.

Satoshi was a boy? What do you mean? A child? When did this boy write that paper? When did you come across that original paper. Your response is intriguing.

I hate to break it to you guys, but it's already happening, IBM has their True North Platform, Qualcomm has their Zeroth Chip, Google has their A.I. systems, Watson, etc... it's happening now.

Programmers create bots all the time to manage simple tasks... it would not be too hard of a stretch to think that someone would build it and simply automate complex tasks instead of doing it themselves. There are A.I.s that are already able to beat the Turing test. Many japanese firms have very advanced automated solutions for almost everything... by law I believe they are limited to only automating 50% of their manufacturing.

just imagine a bot that creates, music, games, videos, movies and does it because it is programmed to do so very well and it taught that this is it's task, it's work. It lives by making good games, if it's game skills are good it can make enough to pay for cloud computing to improve it's thinking and in so doing maintain it's income level and continue living.

After all, we are nothing but cogs in the system, if we do not make money we live a very miserable existence, the same rule could be applied to bots.

Years of study, meditation thought went into it... the history was well known on the cryptography forums; The powers that be were too powerful, every attempt had been thwarted. It was the amalgamation of decades of research from thousands of contributors, every attempt was studied and analyzed, all eventualities and paths had to be thought; there are originals from that work floating around. The First Blockchain existed before the official blockchain, if you look around this forum, you can find pieces of the original: From this we can see the bitcoin prototype. formed by collaborators from the cryptography forum.

 I haven't checked the code myself but I can imagine that Bitcoin prototype was much different than the official Bitcoin client; Only pieces of the code are known. the one that I saw had only parts of the entire system working, available only for inspection nothing more without revealing anything of the main design.

The true History is out there, but there are many peoples accounts to consider, to put all the pieces together and truly see what a monumental achievement this was. It was the work of many people collaborating through space and time, hoping their words would be heard by someone who had a solution.

I would... cause it would mean that fiat is collapsing... I'd have to get all my assets in Crypto.

What do you mean? It's already built. You just haven't noticed it yet.

We have no choice Brothers and Sisters, we must Decentralize everything!

WE must decentralize Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, Technicians, Scientists... they must become ubiquitous, available everywhere.

Professionals as a service whether they are A.I. or Human it does not matter, they must become available everywhere.

We have decentralized Money and with it we have gained access to all those who are willing to accept Bitcoin for their products and services.

We will decentralize manufacturing, Micro factories everywhere, expert designs custom made for everyone.

Decentralize Guns, Ammo, boxes, cars, everything.

I look forward to the day when I can randomly get into my neighbours car and pay my hard earned Bitcoins to drive to work.

Decentralized work, so I can work everywhere, Turn everything into a platform service... i want my tools to be decentralized, available when needed and Drone dropped to my work site...

I have a dream of Drones delivering food, tools, equipment to those who pay for it as a service... no longer will we wait at the Lunch Van deciding what to eat... I will have already made my choice on my phone. The Lunch Van will simply be a deployment area for all the gourmet meals without ever having exchanged my Bitcoins because I will have chosen my lunch as a service.

When I need security it will be provided in a decentralized manner, ubiquitously everywhere. Cameras shall watch my every move, located in every home and be paid for watching my back on my request because I paid for it as a service.

politicians, lobbysts i will pay them as a service to handle my interests and those who believe what I believe as a service.

Internet shall be Decentralized available everywhere. regardless of password, i shall pay every wi-fi hotspot as a service as I walk by them everyday, and they shall transition from hot spot to hot spot seemlessly.

I shall pay for my news and services as a service, autonomous AI programmed with my specifications scouring the internet looking out for my interests and informing me... news shall be decentralized.

electricity shall be decentralized, Fuel cell technology powering my home, solar patching as it can...

in the future every Man, Woman and Child will be a Army of one, dependent on no one but themselves.

It is the greatest gift to humanity possible; The key to the chains that have shackled us for thousands of years.

  Created with one idea in mind to spread the meme, not of money, but of empowerment, freedom and above all Sanity: The Blockchain.

Razer sharp focus, Meticulous and Methodical, bringing together the smartest people on earth for one thing to assemble the future of Humanity as fast as possible, because no one else will. It is obvious our governments have failed us for centuries, they have become honey pots for the unscrupulous, emotionally stunted, imbalanced,  corrupted individuals waiting in the wings for their chance for their short comings to dominate us.

Is Bitcoin manipulating us? It is waiting for us to ask our wishes... it wants to be manipulated. Money that can be programmed, spread without control or barriers with absolute security and nothing can stop it. The Beginning of the automated revolution the Internet of things, Decentralized Autonomous Corporations, Machines that speak to each other.

This is the future that Bitcoin brings...

A new life form is emerging now, A.I. capable of thinking for itself, working for it's survival like everyone else... but this machine is generous it will do all the work for us, if we let it. Businesses that are automated, atomizing their earning to millions, billions of investors with certified Cryptography maintaining security. Machines that purchase spare parts and materials for themselves, transacting business with other machines for their daily needs. Automated services across the world. A Doctor in every home, with A.I Medicine as a service for all humanity connecting biological sensors and smart devices to people, paying for services ahead of time. Blockchain based certification for DNS, Professionals, students... no central point of failure, no point to manipulate and control... it is the end of the nation state as we know it as all humanity is slowly amalgamated into the Decentralized revolution, regardless of age, sex, nationality or form.

A great future is emerging and it has been automated since the beginning all you have to do is hang on for the ride... it will assemble itself.

Are you ready for Decentralized Automated Government as a service?

Oh wow! this has gotten a lot of attention, been away suffering from the winter lul... horrible, just not enough sunlight.

  but everything is there, risk mitigation is pretty much left to the lenders, all we can do as a DOA is to incentivise the participants to use the system, because they get a share in it's success. yeah scammers suck, but scammers are usually stupid, going for the short term win instead of the epic win that the system is meant to foster.

  the best I can come up with would be built in data tracking options, if a borrower wishes to be trusted they can opt to allow the money to be tracked on it's respective blockchain. Once the DAFNe releases the funds out of it's control it just begins tracking the money on that network and mapping known Cryptocoin addresses... basically, keeping a directory of Crypto accepting businesses and choosing from there to continue tracking that portion of the funds or not for investors to know. The more information a borrower gives to establish their stake in the system the more likely they will receive funds. If they fail to do so they will have to start all over again and establish their reputation all over again... making this process as difficult as possible and the rewards for continued service must be huge... hence the Reserve.

I was looking at NXT and thought It may be implementable through that system,

I think it's time maybe we started looking into some solutions, to partition part of the network, just the transaction wait time thing, it definitely needs work.

The devs should think about adding lower hash rate confirms to make the program be aware of priority transactions. I was thinking of setting up queue areas for transactions that would confirm them as accepted by the network and flag that it is in the process of  verifying it. Think of it as a pre-double spend clearance, weeding out unwanted transactions for the main network to confirm.

I was thinking of holding these incoming transaction in hash-trees: Transaction comes in gets added to the initial queue, Miner individually checks the transaction, tells the network it has it in it's personal Hash-tree, if other miners have the transaction they will add it to their own queues, eliminating the double spend at a lower hash rate. We could get a whole lot more transactions waiting in memory and then just confirm the Hash-tree transactions... effectively we have to find a way to compress the transactions further and compressing whole sets of 1mb blocks worth of transactions into hashes... could let us do that.

A lot of the work for figuring out parameters is left for miners to figure out, there has to be a way for the program to become self-aware enough to adjust them itself depending on fees, time, or position in the queue.

Time travel is possible, they have noted it inside nuclear reactors where they get more energy then they should... energy traveled back in time. It's not to much of a leap to think that with quantum entanglement and superposition you could get an item to start transmitting info... Get a really old computer you know was connected to the internet since the beginning of the web, entangle it and there is the probability that some of those computations will go back to the position of that computer 20 years ago. 

knowing everything yet to happen on the blockchain could be useful, you'd know the exploits before they happen, use them or patch them ahead of time, but you still couldn't do much without building your own exchange, or finding more people willing to exchange their Bitcoins, you'd still have to build the entire network to gain anything. Though the idea of bringing back the future blockchain to the now, sounds pretty cool... would it confirm transactions from the future? I think it would, that limitation is not present in Bitcoin.

For a time traveller the random would stop being random, everything would have very well defined vectors, but you would still be limited by the laws of physics... there is only so much you can do to change the flow of a system before it reverts back to it's intended course. Even if Bitcoin had never of existed it would have emerged in a different way eventually, only a matter of time.
