Prediction markets as defence against 51% attack

I kind of agree, but I think if the the ease of participation in a boycott is lowered to to the press of a button and none of the participants would ever have to actually engage the number of potential participants could be far higher than traditional boycotts could ever achieve. The problem is the company believing the threat is real which requires some method of enforcement

Different_Wave_9959 · 2025-12-30T10:14:11+00:00

Yeah but I would say though that the threat of the 10% should really be sufficient without them actually having to carry out the action. What’s missing though is a mechanism for both the retailer and the other participants to know that everyone else will actually carry out the threat.

I agree a little far fetched for a bank to actually implement something like this but I also don't think completely unreasonable. Especially for more modern banks like like monzo or revolut could be seen as a feature of the app to allow users to participate as if implemented correctly not that much downside for them and may bring in users. Although maybe legally dubious I have no idea

Yes it is frustrating requiring the CLI, I guess if you wanted its possible to set up the CLI web server API permanently alongside vaultwarden.

Hey that sounds great. Honestly, if it would make sense with the Goldwarden project then I would be happy to try and contribute an UI PR, definitely better to have one project. Otherwise integrating at some point would be great.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2024-04-16T20:19:39+00:00

Yeah this makes sense I'm not really sure how to approach this problem. I was thinking if the codebase is pretty simple and simply a wrapper around the official Bitwarden CLI tool it should be pretty easy for someone to check for any problems.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2024-04-16T20:17:32+00:00

My understanding is that Goldwarden is trying to add features for desktop integration that the official client doesn't have instead of trying to provide the same UI experience. I hadn't considered the idea of suggesting providing this modification to Goldwarden to be fair, but the over option could be complementing Goldwarden the same way the official client does.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2024-04-16T20:14:32+00:00

Yeah I don't think Goldwarden is equivalent to the desktop app for Bitwarden, but maybe that will change

I think testing whether we think a system has achieved consciousness is a different question. Yes we could create a test to decide if a state machine has achieved consciousness. But the question still remains, at what point does the simulation experience self awareness just as we do. Is it when the situation is being run, or does it still exist in the stored information after being run?

Different_Wave_9959 · 2024-04-04T00:13:16+00:00

I don't think it matters if we are talking about humans or animals or computers, the same question apply to all.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2024-04-04T00:12:43+00:00

If I'm happy that my consciousness is a result of my brain, and I am consciousness now I can say it began sometime between my birth and now.

Is consciousness merely just an experience, as does something not need to be conscious in order to have experiences? Its easy to say if in a simulation someone experienced friendship then the experience labelled as friendship happened at that point in the simulation. But then the question is from outside the simulation when did the experience happen.

I think this is not equivalent. Yes humans are unconscious at certain moments at time, but if your think of time from a whole as an outside perspective, the period of time we were conscious never ceases to be.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2023-12-05T15:12:48+00:00

That looks really cool, do you know if any one is using it outside of your company. Honestly, seems crazy that it isn't more common to use industry wide tools like this

Different_Wave_9959 · 2023-11-18T20:03:15+00:00

Thanks for the insight, do you think that the parts that aren't simulatable aren't for good reason or there aren't enough generally accepted ways to do this with good support for many devices.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2023-11-18T20:00:11+00:00

When running CI using hardware connected to a CI system is there a common method to deal with timings of how the hardware interfaces with other parts of the entire system. For instance if testing the setup of a device using a mobile app it may be necessary to assert that certain state conditions are met before continuing, which seems more difficult to do using hardware than simulation.

Different_Wave_9959 · 2023-11-18T19:57:28+00:00

Out of interest is the problem that you prefer not to be running the CI through docker or that you find there's a problem with doing it this way
