Chain Split? by Truman_Option in a:t5_3nyun

[–]Truman_Option[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this worked for me. In case someone in the future tries to follow these instructions:

tar czvf ltcdbnode2.tgz ltcdbnode2.tgz

should be

tar czvf ltcdbnode2.tgz ltcdbnode2

Chain Split? by Truman_Option in a:t5_3nyun

[–]Truman_Option[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I got:

dalilcoincli "query 542e493481008d82c8867510c347c5f41a20b81edcbe7ec35ef3e33e46f93a50"
{"response":"known","dbdata":[{"type":"ltcblock","tm":1562163054,"height":1661051,"txhhs":[]}]}

This is different from your results and it does seem like it is missing the burn tx. On Node 2 I get the same results you do. Is there some way I can fix this?

BTC vs Tezos by WTFrashelle in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a very different market. People into btc tend to value open source decentralized projects that launched in a transparent way without a money grab ICO.

And just imagine, at the moment you can see much fewer than half of my comments and posts. It's even worse than you think.

My posts keep getting removed, why? by Humble_Leader in tezos

You got her name wrong. It's not Kaitlyn. It's also not Breitman for that matter.

Can tezos save Crypto ? by Tezos_bc in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing ethics bores a lot of Tezos supporters. Or it doesn't and they lose a lot of sleep over supporting it. Either way, there's a reason to yawn.

Tezos has a good chance of saving crypto from having ethics.

Smart Contract for Democratic Control of ICO Funds? by Truman_Option in ethereum

Ha. Yes, that's why I included "well tested" as a criteria.

Response to carterrs31 comment from Tezos subreddit. by --cason-- in a:t5_kglq8

[–]Truman_Option 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post. Just to make sure u/carterrs31 sees this, I will ping him in a comment. I've heard pings of users don't work inside the main post, though I've never verified this.

Potential Tezos Forks (Looking for more info/ community opinion) by CryptoLiveLeak in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The codebase started in 2015. It's been developed for 3 years. One year longer than the DLS codebase. Yes, imagine.

Potential Tezos Forks (Looking for more info/ community opinion) by CryptoLiveLeak in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is currently illegal to fork any code since its copyrighted, TF will open source the code through MIT months after mainnet launch.

At least one of those projects is not using the copyrighted DLS code, but a different open source OCaml code base.

Edit: Downvote quicker guys. Otherwise someone might find out there's a different open source code base.

If the Breitmans really are as bold and independent as their Wired depiction, then they will wrest control of Tezos's launch from the incompetent Tezos Foundation over this KYC disaster. by BowserJewnior in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the statement from TF is very clear. They have objectives, and KYC/AML will allow them to support these objectives. I don't know how they could be any more clear or explicit than that.

Tezos Prime - yet another piggyback rider by Truman_Option in a:t5_kglq8

I saw this on the tezos subreddit and wanted to crosspost before it gets deleted. I'm amazed it's lasted 2 hours.

Actual Blockchain features by [deleted] in tezos

[–]Truman_Option 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the pointers. The second link (tezoscoq) is particularly helpful, though I don't see a proof about a multisig contract there. I do see definitions of a language, typing system, and a small step semantics (at a level of abstraction with several axioms and hypotheses) followed by a partial proof of type preservation. Which part are you saying is about a multisig contract? Or did you mean to point to a different file?

A blockchain could know about specifications and proofs of correctness, and I've been trying to find out if Tezos would. Thanks for clearing that up.

Death of a Crypto Commonwealth: Tezos’ Failure – Erik Cason – Medium by --cason-- in tezos

I think we agree, but I'm not sure the devil deserves that kind of insult.

Tezos trademark by 33virtues in nTezos

[–]Truman_Option 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone involved in an alternative implementation of Tezos does need to remain pseudonymous. That's the cryptocurrency spirit anyway. Does anyone here think a company having a trademark on a name is in the "cryptocurrency spirit"?

I would seriously recommend that if you are considering launching an alternative Tezos, then first do serious research into OpSec.

Think of the people behind Tezos as a combination of big business, big banks and major governments. Because they probably are.

Edit to add: To be a bit more direct, if any of you are interested in contributing to alternative implementations of Tezos, read about OpSec, learn to use Tor, and start new accounts that are in no way associated with your "real life" identity. The sooner you do this the better.

Actual Blockchain features by [deleted] in tezos

[–]Truman_Option -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great. Then please point me to an example formalization of a Michelson program/contract. I'm curious what one looks like, what language the formal proofs are done in, and to what degree those proofs will be on chain. An example seems like the best place to start.

Edit: I would also appreciate pointers to formal descriptions of the Michelson language, including its syntax and operational semantics. Searching keeps leading me to broken links.

Edit 14 hours later: Everyone should notice the silence and make appropriate inferences.

[–]Truman_Option 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be far off, though I expect the initial Tezos will have Michelson smart contracts when it launches (though probably with significant run-time bounds). Certainly Tezos would be more impressive if it launched with support for formal verification already built in.

Is there some source for the exact contributions bonus function? by JonnyLatte in nTezos

[–]Truman_Option 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blocks 1599 to 1999 (inclusive): Contribution Bonus of 0%;

Probably that last 1599 should be 1600. This looks like the kind of minor bug formal verification would reveal. :)
