sorry for your mental deficiencies if you think switzerland's neighbours are even remotely better than it. that reddit dude is just pissy about the direct democracy because the populace voted 80% against the gold standard two weeks ago. also blocked the govt from spending 3bn on a bunch of lovely gripen fighter jets from sweden in the spring.

Krinkle posted:what happens to all those bitcoin dust tips people made if the price keeps going down is it eventually going to be where someone has eleven billion individual motes of bitcoin trying to buy one fleshlight and bitpay is like "gently caress you I'm processing eleven billion quintillionths of a penny transactions on a fifteen cent commission get the gently caress outta here with your internet equivalent of a dumptruck of pennies". I don't think that's the way it works (based on the deep understanding I have from reading I can't remember how the network knows what your wallet's balance is, though. One way it can figure it out is by looking at every transaction in the blockchain, not sure if it actually does that though. I suppose if your wallet has had eleven billion transactions it might take a bit longer to calculate the balance maybe? I could have gotten this all wrong though.

Buttcoin purse posted:I don't think that's the way it works (based on the deep understanding I have from reading A single transaction can have many inputs so you can take all that dust and send it to another address just fine. However each block only has a certain amount of space and having to include all those input addresses takes up more space than a single input. This is why earlier someone calculated that the average transaction speed is much lower than 6/s, transaction size is going up. So if miners charge a flat fee per transaction dust is fine. However assuming miners are rational actors the fee/transaction will be higher as there are now less transactions per block or will ask for fees depending on the size of the transaction which could make dust worth 0 or negative. I hope I got all that right since I did actually read that dumb white paper a while ago.

CampingCarl posted:UTXOs are just the outputs of a transaction in a block and those do have the value. The value of the outputs can only be a total of the inputs (plus any mined coins) so you don't need to look at earlier blocks. This is why only nodes and miners actually have to download the full blockchain. Satoshi even described a way to prune the blockchain by discarding the blocks where all the outputs have been used in later blocks because you don't need them. As far as I know Bitcoiners have decided not to use that because reasons. you actually do need the whole blockchain, miner or not, if you want to know the real balance of an address. while transactions are just made of inputs and outputs, there is no "running total" kept for inputs that an address can access. right now there are a bunch of clients where you can trust a third party to give you a total for your address without having the whole blockchain, but that's because that third party has the blockchain instead. there IS a pruning algorithm described by satoshi, but it's not been implemented and there are no plans to implement it aside from it being "on the wiki". (also the miners need the full blockchain not because they want to know the full balance of an address, but because they want to access the blocks where an input was confirmed. they don't really need to know if an address has a single input or a thousand inputs, they just care if the input(s) you're spending is/are valid.)

QuarkJets posted:Like I said, it's a cool place to visit if you're not black or muslim. Just don't stay unless you're wealthy like many other forums posters and swiss citizens i am not part of the wealthy elite because i didn't invest in bitcoin, but i can attest life is possible without a private bank account, g5 and a butler, the salaries follow the cost of living somewhat. for tourists it really is pricey and hotel costs alone are a rip off, but for getting out of the cities and visiting the country side and summer/winter sports it is amazing. muslim tourists are very welcome, emirates airlines were lobbying to get geneva airport expanded to fit a380 capabilities because they already have or project having that scale of volume on their dubai - geneva service. to be clear there are problems in switzerland and there is a problem with racism and due to the subtle nature of it (like employment practices) a lot of people are unaware of it going on thus consider it not a problem. at least with every new generation it is being pushed out, also it's not like the police force is murdering black dudes. sweden is an amazing country. it's also easy to understand how people get them confused if they are illiterate.

i think european countries have avoided that extreme american myopia only because until recently they were threatened by or at war with or invaded by their neighbours and then participation in the eu made avoiding happenings outside of the borders unavoidable. also europeans love their nationalism and a massive part of that is about how superior they are to their lovely inbred neighbours.FrozenVent posted:somehow i doubt this is about tourism there are many business links, it's hard to explain how geneva is fills up with wealthy arabs during the summer, some will even fly over their favourite car, so it's common to see plates from the emirates on mclaren mercedes or custom lambos. the city courts this clientele because they often have their family offices based in geneva and happen to spend a lot of money during their stay, along with the chinese they are big spending tourists. the swiss like money, they don't ever let race or ethics get in the way of that.
