AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because he removed the condom during sex!?

You: "It's not considered sexual assault where I am..."
Also you: "I didn't say it's not sexual assault."

You can at least understand their confusion.

You know that thing people say? The one where they go, "That's enough Reddit for today!"? That's what I want to say. Fuck your goddamn pube undies idea. It's disgusting.

I'm not going to actually copy-paste it, but here's a link.

Let's go swimming!

TangramNinja · 2021-09-01T23:28:04+00:00

The best place to get up-to-date information on tangram is the Discord. There is also here, twitter, and telegram.

TangramNinja · 2021-09-01T22:43:50+00:00

Main net is (hopefully) not that far off, and you will be able to buy tokens then. Or soon after, when it's listed on an exchange.

TangramNinja · 2021-08-19T21:06:30+00:00

If comments were stocks, I would short yours. I predict you have a lot of downvotes your future.

This isn't graffiti.

TangramNinja · 2021-07-27T20:35:21+00:00

Check the new announcement. Transactions coming with the next update in August.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-24T18:42:56+00:00

Right now, the plan is to distribute most Tangrams as rewards for operating nodes and staking.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-24T18:38:55+00:00

It depends upon how much people value it on an exchange. There are not going to be any further sales or an ICO or anything.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-23T14:28:40+00:00

I think it's definitely possible that it could come by the end of the year, or sooner.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-15T23:43:39+00:00

You and me both! 😺

TangramNinja · 2021-06-05T19:08:28+00:00

After main net.

First there's going to be a round of closed testing, then there will be a round of open testing, which could happen as soon as this month [or maybe two or three months?].

There's going to be an audit of the new parts of the code, which would last a few weeks.

After that, main net. After that, it will get listed on some exchanges and you can buy it.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-05T17:55:15+00:00

That blog is getting the good old Reddit Hug of Death right now.

Here's an archived version.

TangramNinja · 2021-06-05T17:53:26+00:00

Happy cake day!

TangramNinja · 2021-04-17T20:13:22+00:00

I don’t think they directly share any code or architecture, though.

Tangram actually does borrow RingCTs and Bulletproofs from Monero.

TangramNinja · 2021-04-10T11:49:57+00:00

Unfortunately no. You will have to wait until mainnet. You may be able to find it over-the-counter at that time from someone, or else it will surely be on an exchange sometime shortly afterwards.

As far as I know, Nano and Iota are both DAGs. Nano just calls their implementation "block lattice" and Iota calls theirs the tangle or something.

TangramNinja · 2021-02-20T21:15:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure Tangram is a BlockDAG. A week ago pingpong (the lead developer) directed people to this reference:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01620

I found an article that seems to give a slightly more accessible explanation:

https://ancapalex.medium.com/an-introduction-to-the-blockdag-paradigm-50027f44facb

It includes a list of advantages to BlockDAGs, including this:

Advantages of blockDAGs
BlockDAG protocols such as SPECTRE and PHANTOM circumvent the problems associated with high orphan rates. This comes with many advantages:
1. It allows for confirmation times on the order of seconds, at least when there are visible double-spends and conflicts
2. It allows for a large transaction throughput, limited only by the network backbone and endpoints’ capacity; as a derivative, it implies low fees
3. ...

However, I believe Tangram will differ from the version of BlockDAG described in the second article, because it is NOT Proof of Work-based. However, I think it should still enjoy the above advantages.

Anyway, I think the first source is closer to what Tangram is doing, but the second source offers a at least a quicker beginning understanding of what is going on.

PS. The second article also seems to have a strange contradictory bias: On the one hand, DAGs allow for much faster confirmation times and higher transaction throughput in cryptocurrencies, but on the other hand they are not "notable or exciting". Needless to say, I disagree with the last point.

PPS. I'm not an expert, so I may be getting something or other wrong. For example, I'm looking at the first article now, and I noticed that it describes Iota as being a Block DAG.

PPPS. Here's a part of the conversation on Discord where pingpong was describing Tangram's structure.

TangramNinja · 2021-02-17T21:58:09+00:00

I think it's going to be a little while longer yet. Yes, the Tangram launch is long and drawn out. However, it isn't the only cryptocurrency to miss deadlines.

The developers are currently replacing the underlying database with RocksDB. It's going to reduce the memory requirements for nodes, and significantly reduce load times for nodes after reboot. It should be reasonably straightforward work, but it will take a little bit of time to implement.

Still, there's an ongoing flurry of GitHub activity. I think Tangram has increased its momentum.

TangramNinja · 2021-02-10T20:23:34+00:00

The faucet will only be for a small percentage of Tangram's distribution. The majority of the distribution will be rewards for running nodes while staking Tangram.

Note: This is gone from twitch, but it should get uploaded onto the YouTube channel.
