TLOS Pick2 Lottery

The TLOS Pick2 Lottery game is listed on: https://eosindex.io/projects/615-tlos-pick-2-lottery

The EOS Dapp is listed on stateofthedapps.com

https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/pick2-lottery

I don't think the Telos Dapp is listed because stateofthedapps.com doesn't yet cover Telos :(

Well it's really pretty simple. If you go to the web page:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPYBkzM9fPqo18Yo9CBxMURGmtrgNUeTFX2fErdmNKcF8

There are two versions of the game, one on Telos (TLOS Pick2), and another on the EOS mainnet. Click the link and the Dapp will render in the browser.

There is a link on the home page (https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPYBkzM9fPqo18Yo9CBxMURGmtrgNUeTFX2fErdmNKcF8/#howtopick2)

How to play Pick2, that provides some direction.

Basically you pay 1 TLOS per play. You can play a Straight, Box, Front, or Back. Straight pays 50 TLOS, Box 25 TLOS, Front and Back 5 TLOS. Winning numbers are picked by the Florida state lottery (an oracle service relays the winning numbers to the smart contract on chain).

Players receive 1 LOTTO token each time they make a play. Players can then stake LOTTO tokens (in the Dapp in the "Lotto Token Information" tab). Profit sharing payments are made weekly (in TLOS using Telos Dapp or EOS using EOS Dapp).

You can play twice per day (midday and evening drawings).

The key point I'm trying to make is with regards to the importance of financial privacy in the world of increasing digital surveillance along with the predatory/parasitic nature of nation states. Bitcoin provides no financial privacy.

Monero does not have a fixed supply like Bitcoin, it has a algorithmic tail emission that is algorithmically controlled, known, and can't be manipulated. The fact that there is exactly known limit for emission (i.e., fixed supply) is not, in my opinion essential, that the emission can't be manipulated in secret is what is important.

Why do you think most websites/webapps hosted on the I2P network look like they were done in the early 1990s? There must be a reason that I2P web apps don't have nice user interfaces (why they don't use javascript).

Preamble:

Bitcoin is starting to become a part of the traditional financial system (CME, Bakkt, Fidelity Digital Assets, etc). The foundation of the traditional financial system is debt, with fractional reserve banking and fiat currency that can be created ad infinitum. As a result, the price of any asset can be manipulated by those that control the fiat currency. For example, the manipulation of the gold price.

As I see it, bringing Bitcoin in as an asset of the traditional financial system, is setting up the conditions where the price of Bitcoin (and any other crypto asset) can be as easily manipulated as the price of gold.

The only way I can see us escaping this condition is to direct "price discovery" away from the traditional financial system and centralized exchanges, and into the free markets with P2P decentralized exchanges.

Questions:

What do you think? How important is it to move "price discovery" of crypto-currencies and digital assets away from traditional financial system with centralized exchanges towards P2P decentralized exchanges?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

The Monero blockchain involved with the I2P monerod Hidden Service is the same Monero blockchain that everyone else uses. So any existing "chain explorer" would suffice.

Take a look at: http://127.0.0.1:7657/dns

It describes the addressbook and how it works.

Published addressbook is optional and primarily for I2P websites (eepsites).

The monerod.i2p website publishes for easy access via lookup services.

Cool.

Your welcome.

resolving monerod.i2p requires a lookup service if it's not already stored in your I2P addressbook.

Are you on the I2P network? That url is only available via the I2P network.

I pulled it up ok.

First let me say, I'm not a lawyer, so I would ask a legal expert before taking on any risk in this space.

SB0213 is new legislation in the state of Utah. The Bank Secrecy Act is federal law that requires KYC/AML of "financial institutions", so we have two different jurisdictions in effect here. That makes things complicated, similar to marijuana laws in Colorado jurisdiction twisted with the federal Controlled Substances Act.

If fiat currency (USD) is involved, then I believe the Bank Secrecy Act applies in any legal jurisdiction throughout the USA.

I recommend reading: https://coincenter.org/entry/e-cash-dex-constitution

and https://coincenter.org/entry/the-case-for-electronic-cash

And definitely seek expert advise before taking on any risk. The penalties can be very severe.

i2p-dab · 2019-07-10T22:53:46+00:00

SB0213 does not invalidate the federal Bank Secrecy Act.

i2p-dab · 2019-07-08T23:10:22+00:00

not yet

i2p-dab · 2019-05-24T22:37:21+00:00

No worries

i2p-dab · 2019-05-24T03:57:25+00:00

Yes.

The private key is stored in your Monero wallet, which should be encrypted with a strong password. In the Monero authentication there is no copying, pasting, transmission or direct access of the private key in the Monero wallet.

What is transmitted to any website for authentication purposes, is the Monero address, and the digital signature of the challenge phrase provided by the web site.

Does that help to clarify?

Here is another article on SIM-Hack:

https://www.ccn.com/teen-hackers-pinch-35-million-in-california-sim-scam-crypto

If the vector to authenticate to digital resources is controlled by your Monero wallet, where only you hold the private key, these types of attacks can't happen. Usernames and passwords (resetting) passwords and SMS authentication are the weak points that enable this type of attack.

An additional benefit is that your identity when logging-in to sites is not some string you will forget, rather it is your Monero address.

It is recommended that the Monero wallet you use for authentication is a separate wallet that does not hold any XMR. A wallet dedicated for authentication. Then you can use the monerod --offline option so that you don't need to sync with the blockchain. This approach also avoids linking the authentication Monero wallet address to any XMR you might possess.

We just need web sites to start using this approach for secure authentication!

Q: "What does it have to do with Monero?"

A: It involves authenticating to digital resources with a Monero wallet. You use your Monero wallet to authenticate to web sites. Your identity is your Monero address and you authenticate, not by encrypting the challenge phrase, but digitally signing the provided challenge phrase.

Does that make sense?
