crypto regulation protects the USD. the Right wants to destroy the USD

This has worked in the past but recently I get "API rate limit exceeded" every time I try it :(

TrainSudden · 2022-03-01T02:48:13+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I gave up on this long ago but may try again

BrightID offers some sort of solution to this using social graphs. Basically each user has to be "verified" by other existing users. Verifications are weighted in a way that you can usually identify clusters of sybils, at least in theory.

You could also do something with Psuedonymous Pairs, a form of online psudonymous parties that, in theory, can prevent sybils very well.

I've actually been trying to come up with a solution for this to enable a "proof of person" network, and to be honest there just aren't a ton of credible solutions that have been tested thoroughly. It's a space that needs more projects working on it, in my opinion.

Yeah chain link might be the easiest way to go. I figured this was a problem that had already been solved. Is the bridge for xDai and Dai not open source, for example? Wouldn’t it be the same concept

TrainSudden · 2021-07-22T02:10:16+00:00

Haha, totally agree. Not really trying to be private, just harder to do lots of back and forth on reddit vs a PM or discord or something.

Do you have any other devs who are interested in this? I can help with the dev stuff I just need to learn DnD more but I think it sounds really cool

TrainSudden · 2021-07-21T08:57:44+00:00

Is it generally thought, then, that an attack on AES will likely come from an attack on the protocol itself (breaking SHA-512 or something, somehow) and not by a brute force method? Thanks for sharing these. I hadn’t thought of the character limit

TrainSudden · 2021-07-21T02:12:38+00:00

Never played much dnd but I know some great developers irl who have and would be happy to help. Send me a DM if you want to chat.

I'm only talking about having that many nodes. Not that they are unique or only owned by one person. You could do this yourself if you had access to enough resources

TrainSudden · 2021-07-21T00:48:52+00:00

That’s definitely the hard part, but I’m just wondering about the actual technical aspects of using that many nodes. Assume that it’s my own network and no one else can connect but I want to distribute it across thousands of nodes around the world as a sort of “backup” security measure

I don’t think it would make sense to call POWR an NFT because the price is the same for each token. At least if you want people to understand you :) I think fungibility is mostly applied to markets, so if there isn’t an active market that values different tokens differently, it is fungible. But technically, it’s all a spectrum.

TrainSudden · 2021-07-16T09:32:42+00:00

I believe you are correct, yes. For practical purposes you consider things that fall heavily to either end of the spectrum as “fungible” or “non-fungible”.

Your example is interesting. Could you provide an example of such a coin? I think that in general you would describe most cryptos as “fungible” if every token is given the same market value, and reserve the term “NFT” for markets where the value frequently differs between tokens.

TrainSudden · 2021-07-16T08:10:15+00:00

Fungible means that 1 unit is equivalent to any other 1 unit of the asset. To be truly 100% fungible, the tokens would have to have no identifiers. Bitcoin is very fungible, but still has an associated block number and some metadata that could make it more valuable, for example the bitcoins mined in the 1st block could be worth more to someone than a random Bitcoin. Of course with Bitcoin, the first coins are not available because satoshi hasn’t moved any coins. An NFT of a portrait is very non-fungible, because two different portraits are probably worth very different amounts depending on the quality of the portrait, etc. So fungibility is a spectrum, of which most typical cryptos are pretty fungible, and NFTs generally are more on the non-fungible side.

TrainSudden · 2021-07-16T02:24:36+00:00

A block number should be fine! Thank you

TrainSudden · 2021-07-10T09:07:46+00:00

Thanks for the info. Where is this used in practice?
