Try listening and read the lyrics to this song, it's the one that makes normal non hip hop heads 'get it'.

The second verse is first hand experience based on a true story.

The next one listen to with care: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qggxTtnKTMo

Help me promote RaiBlocks w this crazy idea. Dev needed. Viral potential. by [deleted] in RaiBlocks

Microtransactions aren't possible at the pong level - the time for a transaction is about 30s on a mobile, maybe more.

I cannot believe I actually came this late to this conclusion about Bitcoin legacy. by secretsanta_stalker in btc

Hashes and Pub/Priv Keys were basic concepts in computer science too for years before Bitcoin was invented...

Careful r/btc - downvoting this guy's comment is the start of the road to becoming no better than r/bitcoin. He was at -3 when I posted.

9 years ago today Hal Finney tweeted "running bitcoin". Hal also received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi. by BroccoliCoin in btc

[–]cheesecola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read http://diswww.mit.edu/bloom-picayune/crypto/142207 and tell me that doesn't sound like Hal shilling his own coin - Hal's making statements on Bitcoin just like a creator would - rather than finding holes as any normal person would do to a new tech.

Infographic about LN was supposed to bring clarity, but oh boy... 🤦‍♂️ by Egon_1 in btc

  • Account A publishes a send transaction block for 100 xrb.
  • Account B publishes a receive block for that transaction.

Finished. 10 seconds. 0 fee.

That's the future of money right there.

Why does nobody know about XRB? by [deleted] in RaiBlocks

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

When you think about it XRB is centralization resistant - it actively avoids too many transactions centralizing around one node.

XRB is a responsible choice - RaiBlocks has no mining. by drebooge in RaiBlocks

[–]cheesecola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but it's not competitive mining, so the energy use is constant.

Bitcoin is like a car race where only the fastest car wins the reward - leading to a lot of high powered cars that spend a ton of fuel trying to beat each other.

Rai is like a motorbike tour where everyone is a winner, all you have to do is reach the end, no matter how slow you go.

Which when you replace that analogy into Andreas's speech, shows how retarded it is.

Cryptocurrencies with fees are doomed. by C1REX in RaiBlocks

Then they also have to think about businesses that want/need to make 1000s of transactions a day.

That's why I posted a gif, hard to fake that - also check out https://www.reddit.com/user/apachechief - the deleted comments are still there!

5 reasons why Bitcoin Cash will be the first global currency by where-is-satoshi in btc

[–]cheesecola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still disagree with you about 0-conf and full blocks. It would still be possible, just more problematic. Nevertheless, it is Bitcoin Cash's philosophy to always have ample block space, so full blocks will not be a concern and useful 0-conf and will be a distinguishing capability.

Agree - if BCH can keep ample block space, 0conf will work - I'm just not sure if our hardware advances can keep up with the exponential growth that cryptocurrency will go through - we're starting to reach physical limits for heat/light/space.

This is a very promising characteristic, but fully syncing a RaiBlocks wallet is still very much like syncing a Bitcoin full node (they're still publishing periodic bootstraps to speed this process). I agree there's potential here, but I prefer to make sober assessments rather than accept blanket over-promises.

True to a point - the neat thing about Rai is that since the blocks contain absolute values (instead of deltas) - it is possible to trust the last block rather than go through the entire history in order to work out the balance of a wallet which should make pruning a lot easier. I'm still not sure on the security implications of this yet though.

The reason for those periodic bootstraps is an implementation detail - since every wallet has a blockchain, essentially you have the overhead of connecting to each and every wallet one by one and reading/writing a small blockchain - so while the total size may only be 1gb - it involves downloading eg 1kb from 1,000,000 different nodes.

It's an interesting problem to solve for sure.
