Gold outperformed every currency apart from the US $ in 2014, 0.8% down on the year



I think most people know how the US $ will end up so get some gold while you can Smiley


I was just going to point out similar that despite the thread title it has generally not been true that gold is collapsing.   It went upto 1900 and has that true enough and its not gained anything but overall its not a losing asset in the longer term.
Like this last yearly view, gold gained alot in 2014 before losing most of it again which is just holding steady in the big picture.      As far as miners are concerned their costs have reduced from the oil price drop which generally means they make more money even though gold price has stayed level, I think they are better off in 2015 then 2014

Coffee is being used more in asia ?  Not sure if its gaining but we can expect gold similarly to gain from any rise in use

Some bizarre form of Tourette Syndrome
If you have trouble understanding how businesses survive the economic reality that competition in a free market reduces the profitability of all ventures over time, then maybe you can go ask them for yourself how they manage to deal with it?

There are millions of them in the world, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a few and talk with them.

Let us know how your investigation goes.

Don't bother with the simpleton.

He's been operating under the assumption that SC's are token, not blockchains, lol. 

And  what about his blather above that accounting doesn't need to pay attention to details, lol?

I notice that cypherdoc also avoided my very simple and easy to understand question like the plague.  I'll give you two a few days to come up with some sort of a plausible answer, but won't expect much more than 'because free market.'

BTW, I know first hand how 'they manage to deal with it', and it's not pretty.  Certainly it's not where I want to see Bitcoin go whether it makes me a fortune or not.



What question?

Btw, you said above you would prefer SC's to be tokenized  systems because of efficiency, speed  and ease of use. Are you crazy or is this a holdover from your socialist days?

none of what you're saying then makes sense compared to what Adam has been saying.

SC's are blockchains except in the case of federated server SC's (but even that definition is being fuzzed over by the SC ppl calling an internal ledger a SC  Huh)

I think it was more JorgeStolfi with the internal ledger (the sofa/couch in bitstamps office?),  I would not call an internal ledger a chain - a chain has to be real-time publicly audited  I think, to be called a chain.

With federated peg there is a real side-chain, including mining, consensus rules etc and then the federated peg servers act as a protocol adaptor - the peg servers are full nodes on the side-chain, and pegged coins are paid to their multisig address (eg 10 of 15) and the side-chain fullnodes and miners watch the multisig address on the bitcoin network, and coins arriving there count as a peg to put coins into the side-chain; and when the side-chain hashrate majority approves a return peg to reanimate a coin, the federated pegs are watching the side-chain as they are full nodes there too, so they release the funds to the address the return peg tells them to.

Now obviously the limitation is if >= 10 of the federated peg servers are hostile or compromised, they could take the coin without approval of the side-chain.  But short of that it is the side-chain consensus and miners etc that arbitrate what coins move across the peg.

Adam


Ok, this is new info to all of here who assumed federated server implementations of SC's were just that, server based only,  without blockchains. This sounds more like a Ripple type system with gateways and a blockchain.  

 Cheesy

Are you kidding me?

I can't believe we've been discussing this for the last few hundred pages and you are yet to have a clue about the underlying tech.

Don't bother with the simpleton.

you are so, so confused. the last few pages were brillant really. I had a blast watching from the sidelines.

2014 was simply a cooling off phase of the longer term trend of this thread which should reestablish itself in 2015.

You have spoken at length about federated servers without ever actually understanding how they work.

Why should I take your opinion seriously or even consider your attacks on sidechains if I cannot trust anymore whether or not you grok them?

This discussion has been all over the place and plastered with comments and critiques from people who have apparently not even taken a minute to understand the concepts behind the sidechain technology.

What's more concerning is the actions of others who are blindly supporting these assertions and increasing the confusion.

I appreciate the contributions of most here, especially Adam but some would really benefit from stepping outside this cacophony and sharpen their understanding instead of adding to the noise.

He thinks he can get to 100k TPS.
What's the problem with doing 100k TPS on the main chain?

(other than non-answers like "it's hard to do")

I said what on the thread that you trimmed Smiley  security...

Quote from: adam3us
I really dont think you want that on the main chain because its weaker, and he cut down a lot of bitcoin features to get it.  But its useful.

I am talking about the specific sharding approach.  Its not easy sharding a block chain, and he made security tradeoffs to do it.

Nothing against someone doing it if they can do it securely (ie without impacting the security of the rest of the coins on the chain) or without making the centralisation very bad.

Some bizarre form of Tourette Syndrome

What question?

The question was snipped in a cowardly weasely and entirely unsurprising sort of way, but the link still works.  I think even you will be able to understand it, but I'll try to make it even more elementary if need be.  Note that even Justus readily admits that the actual reward that miners can achieve will approach zero due to unlimited supply of hashing power.  Knock yourself out.

Btw, you said above you would prefer SC's to be tokenized  systems because of efficiency, speed  and ease of use. Are you crazy or is this a holdover from your socialist days?

It's a holdover from the last time I pulled out my wallet and paid my neighbor for something he had and I wanted.

You really have zero ability to visualize abstraction do you?  Read my post above where I outlined some of the REAL problems with sidechains.  It doesn't matter how the back-end of a sidechain happens to work, and there are a vast number of possibilities (that's one of the main points of sidechains!)  If you don't like or don't understand a particular sidechain, don't use it.  What is it about freedom of choice that confuses you Libertarians so thoroughly?

Seems he does not understand what is "100k TPS".

100,000 transactions * 260 bytes * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 2 246 400 000 000 bytes per day  =  2.25 TB / day

True, but that would be 10x Visa's peak rate. Their average rate is more like 2000.

I'm not sure of 100k was meant as the peak or average, I'd assume peak. 

My home cablemodem connection can handle 10,000.

In all honesty, that's not a particular challenge, but you'll be able to do it more efficiently than your competition if you have some of these scattered around the world:



but you probably won't be allowed to operate it for long without hooking up to one of these:



Actually, the real meat of the problem is related to network stuff which is harder to explain pictorially.

Gold outperformed every currency apart from the US $ in 2014, 0.8% down on the year

Wait, but why are you looking only at the last year?  If you look at, say, the last 4 years, the picture is quite different.
If that is the way we should look at the bitcoin price...  Grin

I said what on the thread that you trimmed Smiley  security...
I though you meant one particular method of doing 100k tps was insecure, not the mere fact of achieving that rate.

Can you explain what about higher transaction rates inherently makes the blockchain less secure?

Seems he does not understand what is "100k TPS".

100,000 transactions * 260 bytes * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 2 246 400 000 000 bytes per day  =  2.25 TB / day
Yes, I can do math.

So 100k TPS means 2.25 TB / day of transaction data.

What's your point?

And confirmed by Odalv, your partner in crime.

You are so confused. :-)

Yeah right. I think you are based on what you've said. Why did you confirm what JStolfi said and that is the concept we've gone over many times.

Id also like to see evidence of just who is MM'ing your federated servers that you claim are running.

Looks like you know how to improve MC so we can do 100k TPS. Please explain.
