usually, recipient B creates a new unique unused address that they only give out to sender A, so the first transaction to that address will be assumed to come from A

Boxturret posted:yeah from what i recall there was some dumb thing where you could change what a transaction was doing but keep the same id so you could pretend to send them money and they would act like you did because the transaction id went through the blockchain or something like that. then things started falling apart as they had less money than they thought nah, it was the other way around, you could create two transactions that did the exact same thing, but with different transaction IDs so someone would initiate a withdrawal from mtgox, it would create transaction A, and then once you see it you create transaction B and blast it everywhere, eventually hoping your B would be accepted then you go to mtgox and compain that transaction A never went through and customer support re-credited your mtgox account as far as I know this didn't really happen at scale since it would be detectable (transaction B would have a signature that was clearly nonstandard but still valid) and was just a theory/excuse for why mtgox lost all their money

https://www.home.saxo/content/articles/outrageous-predictions/blockchain-tech-kills-fake-news-08122020quote:The fake news industry is booming more than ever, polluting reliable news sources we have trusted for decades. The spread of disinformation is accelerated by algorithms that favour engagement, funnelling readers to extreme, attention-grabbing positions on blogs and biased new media outfits. Even worse, new developments in deep learning research have enabled the creation of realistic deep-fake images and videos, able to show politicians and other people in power saying things which they simply never said. This falsified and manipulated content is conquering the internet at a rapid pace, blurring the lines between what seems real and what is not. Working against this development, companies like Verizon and IBM are working on technologies to counter fake news with verification using a blockchain network.

divabot posted:I wrote a thing about the state of the Tether that has proven weirdly popular. I think you're wrong saying "I suspect the other stablecoins are just a bit too regulated for the gamblers. Tether is functionally unregulated." - it is the opposite - Tether has got the (undeserved) trust of the markets because it's big, all other stablecoins are also unregulated and are just altcoins made for pump and dump schemes too.

divabot posted:And we know this because precisely this thing happened in September 2017 during the bcAsh wars. BTC block times went over an hour. Nobody cared because all the action was on exchanges. I think you remember it wrong, or confuse BTC with BCH - I don't see anything apart from a few short spikes at https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-confirmationtime.html#log where the average confirmation time was like 18 minutes instead of 10. In contrast, BCH had some periods where the average block time was wayy above one hour. You might also conflate it with the dec 2017/jan 2018 mempool flood, where you had to pay like dozens of dollars to get your transaction into a block in a reasonable timeframe, and people started using BCH to move money across exchanges instead. But even then, blocks were generated at a statistically steady rate

also bitcoin doesnt use blind signatures at all and i don’t know why coiners are so horny for merkle trees, bitcoin would work exactly the same if it just used a single hash over all transactions in each block

I found an old hard drive that was password protected and was a bit puzzled because I didn't remember protecting one, and also worried because it said there were five tries left, and I spent three of them on empty, "test", and my old everywhere-password that I used when I was young and stupid turns out ATA protection resets to five new tries every reboot so was worried for nothing, and also it was an OG xbox drive so the actual key is derived from some flash data which I thankfully still had a backup of it will not surprise you to hear that there were no bitcoins on that drive

SYSV Fanfic posted:The mining side/proof of work side would function the same. Verifying transactions would require (at some point) doing all the work that generates the root of the tree in the block header. Right now you just need ~50 megabytes of data, which is a far smaller number than 380GB. the merkle tree is only used to compress all the transaction IDs into the root hash of the block header, you could do the exact same thing by just concatenating all transaction IDs and hashing over that the merkle structure can be used for pruning off transaction data, but basically no nodes use pruning anyway
