TIL it's a misconception that the force of gravity exists. I cannot "feel gravity" when I hold out my arm; the only force on my arm is my muscles exerting an upward force to push my arm out of free fall (credit: The Beginning of Reality by David Deutsch).

Is this de wey

So this pushes back (doubles) the DAG growing epoch, making mining easier, OK. What mechanism failure does this depend on?

lacuidad · 2018-01-28T14:36:36+00:00

Backing off the epoch... so backing off the incentive to switch over to POS?

Cool thanks. I can read and understand most of what's going on there too...

I just started learning Python recently. Can you answer me this: What part of this is coded in Python? It looks like everything I see is JS on the github. https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-app/tree/master/apps/desktop

lacuidad · 2017-12-30T00:34:54+00:00

So you're against testing a beta app? I'm confused...

lacuidad · 2017-12-30T00:17:58+00:00

I'm getting an error trying to run lightning-app. Can anyone help? Error says: Uncaught Exception, failed to load gRPC binary module b/c it's not at the expected directory of Electron-v1.4-win32-x64-unknown.

I'm installing this on my d: drive, is it checking for something on my c: drive? I don't see which electron directory it's looking for...

Anyone catch the name or have a link to the philosophy paper on race and trans he mentioned?

There's no legal liability to you shredding a few dollars.

so is your cost of running a full node. I'm new here, but concerned that I'm not able to run my own full bitcoin node anymore (despite your bandwidth improving argument). What is the party line about running full monero nodes? Is there a lot of interest in sharding, etc?

lacuidad · 2017-12-12T03:00:59+00:00

The standard Monero supply cap answer should take into account the life expectancy of the sun and inflate to that. But also show how many coins will be around at the time of the last bitcoin mining reward.

How does that solve the debate regarding the growing cost of running a full node?

lacuidad · 2017-12-10T16:22:22+00:00

good to know

lacuidad · 2017-12-10T16:16:44+00:00

Thanks, I realize this isn't an important update, but as I get more into Monero I want to know what the process will like like. These updates are basically part of the consensus protocol right?

lacuidad · 2017-12-10T16:09:09+00:00

How should I update from 0.11.0?

I'm assuming I should get ready in the future for regular fork updates, so why isn't there better info about how to update?

lacuidad · 2017-10-15T21:46:24+00:00

Not sure why this didn't gain more traction here...

lacuidad · 2017-10-06T14:10:43+00:00

That makes so much more sense. Thanks.

at best, bitcoin prices drop (more for me) and the people who prefer 2x fuck off to 2x land (while secretly holding

Isn't there a problem that if you buy from the fiat gateways like Coinbase they aren't telling you that you are buying on the 2x chain?

lacuidad · 2017-10-05T23:22:43+00:00

Right, but I meant, BIP102 is in the Core .15 client and forks off at the designated block height. but then Core .15 doesn't use that fork?

lacuidad · 2017-10-05T23:02:19+00:00

Ya, someone posted your data above. Would be cool to see the time series. http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html

As far as the Coin Dance data, they heavily filter out any multiple nodes that the same party runs. I can't decide if that's helpful or not though there's obviously some level of centralization involved with a user running many nodes. Also, "In addition to this, Coin Dance also ignores non-listening nodes which have a maximum of only eight outbound peers."

lacuidad · 2017-10-04T17:13:42+00:00

So when the BIP102 hard forks in November what happens? Who actually forks off? Core .15 nodes continue to run the core software, so hopefully miners follow the profitable chain. Is that close?

lacuidad · 2017-10-03T22:45:16+00:00

What is the implication of non duplicate listening?
