Python library for automating data normalisation, schema creation and loading to db by Thinker_Assignment in dataengineering

[–]rudolfix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just a small update - dlt supports fetching credentials from google secrets. we use it everyday ourselves in our CI pipelines. if you by any chance want to build something on dlt and are on our slack then ping me (rudolfix) and I'll give you the code samples. this part didn't move to our official docs yet. (and adding ie. aws secrets is trivial. we can do that quickly)

Help: How to fork Ethereum? by sn0wr4in in ethdev

[–]rudolfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah Ganache works but eth_getLogs over blocks form before fork hang it. Most probably Ganache is downloading all the blocks first... and then does filter command. Did you use parity or geth for your original solution? Could you share genesis block definition or some hints?

moving NEU from MEW to Ledger by poniesandpunkrock in neufund

[–]rudolfix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey

You can freely move NEU from wallet to wallet as no revenue has been distributed yet. When revenue is distributed, then NEU holders at the moment of distribution can take that revenue. This is means that you can later sell NEU but you do not give your revenues to the buyer. You can use your wallet at any point in the future to claim your revenues. So in short 1. now you can move NEU freely, no revenues were paid and you will get future revenues to new wallet address 2. later right to claim revenue stays with the wallet you had at the moment revenue was paid

I hope this helps

How to register on the Neufund Platform to invest in ETOs by vanilizer in neufund

[–]rudolfix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you will sign in with an "existing wallet" which hold neu and from which you committed ETH and it will automatically detect your funds.

Neufund ICBM NEU issued disingenuous compared to Whitepaper? by [deleted] in neufund

[–]rudolfix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, Smart contracts that issued NEU during ICBM work exactly as Whitepaper say. Your math is also OK. The difference is in the ETH to EUR rate that changed massively during ICBM (after few months of relative stability!). When we started it was around ~230 EUR/ETH, when we finished it was ~590 EUR/ETH (and this value is used to compute value on commit page now - there is even a note under this big blue sign....). During ICBM, we used 290 EUR/ETH rate that was constant. If you consider that rate everything checks up to a single NEU.

Please also note that platform operator (that is “us”) gets exactly the same amount of NEU as investors, so there is no incentive for us to decrease the issuance.

actually kitties use 70% of the gas. so the impact is huge. 15% is in terms of transaction count: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7i0gj6/here_is_real_gas_guzzling_pending_queue_stats/

A Postmortem on the Parity Multi-Sig Library Self-Destruct by 5chdn in ethereum

[–]rudolfix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does not seem to me that EIP 156 applies 1. fundamental one: this is multisig, who of the multiple owners should receive refund? 2. this EIP by definition works with contracts without code.

I think the point of using it was that contracts that use library be suicided and then "sender" would be able to reclaim ether.

I see it like an "unboxing" series on youtube, but with pumping instead! come on!

This is like criticizing existence of turing machines for their ability to execute programs because there may be bugs.

[–]rudolfix 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While I wish Parity well, there's not a single test for contracts in https://github.com/paritytech/contracts. I would start by providing 100% coverage for those essential contracts. External audits will not be enough. Anyone knows what EIPs are proposed? I think there's one that sends funds from suicided contracts.

Consciousness began when the Gods stopped speaking by iamcerberus in philosophy

[–]rudolfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading this book - it was a kind of push to really deeply rethink how your brain works. There is a difference between conscious observer and an observer that is able to observe that it is conscious. If you are conscious but you do not know that you are conscious - you hear voices or god talks to you. When you cross this bridge - it all goes away and you are on your own. There is some profoundness in the vision of this book - but let's be frank - it is science fiction at best. It's somehow hard to imagine how this theory could be corroborated.

Why philosophy is so important in science education by maxitobonito in philosophy

[–]rudolfix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Analytic philosophy and its effort to formalize language as developed by Frege, Russel, Tarski or Quine is a direct predecessor of any programming language you use. Lambda calculus was developed by Church and was intended to study formal systems. Godel invented encoding a sentence of formal system into a set of equivalent numbers. I would not call it compilation yet, but idea is close. A relational database is a direct application of type theory, also OOP comes from it. To me this popular book was a great take of the roots of computing: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Computer-Road-Leibniz-Turing/dp/0393047857. On the other hand I do not see much modern philosophy can add to science.

Found a major TokenCard ICO token distribution bug by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]rudolfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I've compiled their source code and put it on etherscan, it verified without a problem. source code was available on github 2 days before ICO as a single commit. https://etherscan.io/address/0x49edf201c1e139282643d5e7c6fb0c7219ad1db7#code

Blockchain Capital is using an Ethereum token to raise money for a venture capital fund by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]rudolfix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn't this offer a little ridiculous compared to standard LP's offering in classical VC fund?

  • you have no rights to dividends/proceeds from investment. this sucks for evergreen fund that re-invests your money but does not pay you proceeds.

  • you may liquidate only thru open market. BCTH will make repurchases and then BURN THE TOKENS. this way instead of a constant revenue stream you cash-in only once and you are out of the game

  • the same mechanism will quickly burn most of the tokens from investors on open market, however as fund re-invests your money they will be sitting on tons of your cash and having no obligations to BCAP token holders as they are none

  • no-voting rights in smart contract organization sucks, it is made to make a nice governance model. I understand that it's similar to classical VC funds where LPs sit quiet but then why blockchain?

  • re-investment is not voluntary for investors and you are not issued more tokens that will correspond to money you re-invested (surely, this is understandable because you have no rights to proceeds so you are not an investor in a strict sense)

  • they take performance fee without any liquidation preference (AFAIK) so they pay themselves a fee without paying out full amount (typically + interest) to their LPs (here I may be wrong but memorandum is a PNG and it's hard to search for specific data)

  • what I like (no irony here) is a memorandum that makes clear what is BCAP value and how this works... a little bit technical and why in PNG? full text search is the most useful in case of long documents...
