please knock Mom! posted:Please just keep him busy so he stays out of the healthcare thread and stops telling us posting cool bone scans is ‘creepy’ Meh, xtal is a like a thread mascot. He's dumb, but he actually replies but doesn't flood the thread. Seraph was tedious, flooded the forum, and it was uncomfortable watching his mental illness progress. Salt shakeup is staggeringly stupid and is fun to dunk on, but posts rarely enough it isn't a big detriment to thread. I can't remember offhand the handle of the person who was on a quest to be dumber than salt shakeup, but they post even more rarely, if memory serves.

NLJP posted:By the way, doesn't proof of stake automatically bake in control for those who already have a ton of coin? Am I misunderstanding the fundamentals? Because that seems obvious to me My (very limited) understanding is that's about the case. quote:"a PoS miner is limited to mining a percentage of transactions that is reflective of their ownership stake. For instance, a miner who owns 3% of the coins available can theoretically mine only 3% of the blocks."

I had a long postchain with both of them over in the 'pos. xtal isn't seraph. Seraph was bitter about their perma, just wanted online friends to hang out with, started their own discord, and seems to have left. They were all about the money. Xtal's main interest in cryptocurrency is the "censorship resistance" aka it allows real revolutionaries (ypg, hamas, golden path, etc) to evade sanctions. Xtal just wants to argue about politics with people who haven't damaged their brains with CSPAM (cspam, not even once!) and will find threads they can derail. If you want xtal to bugger off, just don't fall for the politics derails.

They've just done a really poo poo job at explaining it. Distributed trust through proof of work. They replaced having a couple of guys keep some private keys to sign each block as legitimate with the heroin sudokus and carbon emissions. Prior to the bitcoin whitepaper I'm not aware of a method for establishing cryptographic trust that didn't rely on identity, like root CAs for x509 certificates. All the whining about censorship just means no one can rubber hose or waterboard any single person to compromise the bitcoin network. If someone does a 51 attack, it's detectible, whereas paying someone at verisign to create a bunch of bullshit ssl certificates isn't. It's a clever solution to a problem almost no one has.

I day trade Crypto + algo trade it and have to say all technicals are massively, massively bearish right now for crypto. This drop was 50% of the entire market cap. Literally in trillions of dollars. I still bought the bottom and got out very quickly. This isn't a guarantee but has potential over time if we don't go up to end this bullrun entirely. Thankfully algos don't care about market direction. I'm only leaving a bit of profits in the market and all principal is sitting in my bank. I understand people love market goes up but I think certain people forget market goes down as well. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 10:40 on May 25, 2021 |

a hot gujju bhabhi posted:Also he asked what problem Bitcoin solves that you can't solve with existing software and used SQL databases as an example and you still haven't provided an answer. I've seen exactly one use case for blockchain that sort of makes sense. Medical laboratory sample chain of custody tracking. The story goes like this: A. You (a clinical practice) want to be able to track the progress of a something like a biopsy as it goes from testing site to courrier to lab to results B. You absolutely cannot under any circumstances publish individually identifiable medical information in any way, so the identifiable characteristics like sample IDs must be encrypted. Either that or kept entirely within one's own walls and directly sent to only stakeholders. At the very least this rules out a traditional database. C. You want each stakeholder along the way to prove that they handled the correct sample and no other one. A chained encryption path where a unique private key is physically sent from stakeholder to stakeholder with the sample and combined with a public private key pair belonging to the org. D. Finally the actual results have to be encrypted with a key only known to the lab and the clinic as a separate security measure. E. No particular organizations along any given chain will be in every chain, ruling out any sort of centralized solution, except maybe an ad hoc one. All that sort of seems to work as an actual use case for blockchain, but even so, the demand for standardized protocol across so many businesses makes it unlikely to happen.
