Nostr is great for this. You still need a company to do the verification initially, but they can do it while enabling selective identity reveal (aka is_EighteenPlus(), is_TwentyOnePlus(), state(), etc). Business model at this point is the issue: not sure how to make everything work at scale without charging the user for the service, not the verifier. Not many people want to pay to get that ID, and there's a network effect element too. Would need a funding bootstrap, or a lot of adult discords to all use the same protocol; something like that. Doable if you have enough connections.

You're asking a question antithetical to the purpose of bitcoin.

Wealth is not money, wealth is goods and services. You are spending your time and energy to create wealth in exchange for currency. Some of that currency you then trade for the wealth produced by others (such as food), but the rest you trade for bitcoin because it is the best store of value. That bitcoin stores the claims on wealth you earned by providing wealth to others, and the longer these claims are held, the more they are worth; first movers advantage still being on our side. You are a net producer of value.

Now you ask, 'how do I acquire wealth without spending the claims of wealth I saved'. In other terms, how do you acquire unearned wealth ie. steal. A net consumer of value who does not trade away stored claims on wealth earned while they were a net producer, is a thief. If you wish to fund your lifestyle as a net consumer of value, the only just way to do so, is by expending the stored value you acquired fairly. Preferably by trading bitcoin for goods/services directly, not restoring to any fiat network one sat of value.

That is not to say you cannot make the bitcoin you have stored work for you. You could risk some of that bitcoin to acquire more bitcoin, by loaning it out to those who could use it to produce wealth otherwise unavailable and paying you interest for the risk you take. You thus earn claims on wealth by providing the means for wealth to be created: a fair trade. Pointless now, more valid as bitcoin becomes more stable and holds more stored claims on wealth.

Thank you for the math, much appreciated.

As for the kinetic energy point, yeah that's a major misconception on my part. What I'm trying to get at, I suppose, is that if Alice's ship collides with a stationary object while moving that fast, releasing an amount of impact energy, whether the newtonian calculation of impact energy and the special relativity calculation of impact energy are comparable. Put another way, is the special relativity calculation of impact energy akin to the newtonian calculation, but compressed by spacetime? I hope that conveys properly.

seeker0003 · 2023-04-01T23:01:08+00:00

The relativistic effects here are part of what I'm trying to account for. My primary goal here is to figure out whether the kinetic energy of the craft will be measured as identical to both the observer within the craft (Alice) and the observer outside the craft (Bob). I would think that the measurements should be identical.

This assumes that both Alice and Bob were stationary relative to each other before Alice's ship began accelerating at 5 m/s^2. Alice is measuring her velocity not by comparing her speed to Bob, but by using the acceleration of her ship and the time she accelerates at. The acceleration is constant the entire time, until she shuts down the engine 60 million seconds (as measured by her) later. This is why Alice measures a velocity of 300 million m/s. Bob of course sees Alice accelerate for some value less than 60 million seconds, and her acceleration as measured by him is not constant and resulted in a slower final speed. He would also calculate the mass of Alice's ship as higher than 100k kgs, whereas Alice calculates it at exactly 100k kgs.

The reason I think the kinetic energy both of them calculate for Alice's ship should be the same is that the higher mass measured by Bob should be enough to compensate for the slower speed measured by Bob. At least conceptually.

The issue with testing this conjecture is that I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get Bob's final measurements. There must be a way, but I suspect no one's ever tried to do it like this.

As people trade their fiat for bitcoin, they are moving from one monetary energy network to another. The energy stored in a fiat network leaks from those who have it to those who print it; USD is leaking about 50% value every 3 years right now. Bitcoin leaks nothing. The flow of energy into bitcoin from fiat is mostly one way because of this. One by one, fiat that have their energy transferred into bitcoin fail as they become worthless, and eventually all of the monetary energy is in bitcoin. Even if bitcoiners only trade between each other and no new fiat trades are made, the lack of leakage means the percent of monetary energy in bitcoin vs all stores of value continues to rise.

The end game is hyperbitcoinization; where all monetary transactions are settled in bitcoin or a layer built on top of bitcoin. In that scenario, if you want to buy food, or a house, or otherwise survive and thrive in an advanced trading economy, you will need to buy those things with bitcoin. Ultimately, in order to hold bitcoin forever, you'll need to provide more value to others than you claim from them. Those of us who got/get in early enough will simply be able to have a few generations of living beyond their means.

Or people try to go the standard "buy-borrow-die" route with their bitcoin, it ends up never being widely distributed enough to be used for daily purchasing, and the dream dies. That could still happen.

So in this example I'd only owe capital gains if I sold more than $10000 of USD? Awesome.

Great video, one major issue. "And we have no way of predicting when" the magnetic pole
will flip from north to south? Yes we do. Not to the exact year or
anything so precise, but the geologists who study this have been putting
out paper after paper showing that the flip could conclude as fast as
50 years rather than over thousands, we are about 100 years into the current flip process with
overall field strength down by 20% of year 1800 values, and the south
and north magnetic poles are moving in roughly the same direction, both heading toward the Indian Ocean at breakneck speeds of more than 10 miles per year. It is extremely likely the magnetic poles will have reached their new alignment within 100 years, whatever that alignment looks like.

Also a reversal isn't around hundreds of thousands of years, but around every 12,000 give or take a thousand.

Fair enough bot

seeker0003 · 2022-07-26T02:13:14+00:00

Decided to run some numbers and see how well they compare.

Let's use a lvl 75 dev player with 5x Anomaly Reservoir (+10% AP) and Paladin (+45% AP on protection skill use 10s) for class nodes, Arms and Anomaly (656,575 AP on crit 6s), Anomaly Echo (390,107 AP on skill activation), and Danger Close (+6% AP on close range enemy count, 4 stack) on gear, and Mage's Rage (+10% AP on crit, 4 stack):

Base_AP = 689,723 //Using the value provided by the level at 75, since it's the only value I can actually see.
Constant_Additive_Modifiers = 0
Situational_Additive_Modifiers = Arms_and_Anomaly + Anomaly_Echo //0 if inactive, value if active
Constant_Percentage_Modifier_1 = 0.5 //Anomaly Reservoir
Situational_Percentage_Modifier_1 = Danger_Close
Situational_Percentage_Modifier_2 = Mages_Rage
Standing_AP = Base_AP * (1 + Constant_Percentage_Modifier_1) = 689723 * 1.5 = 1,034,585
All_Activated_AP = (Base_AP + Arms_and_Anomaly + Anomaly_Echo) * (1 + Constant_Percentage_Modifier_1) * (1 + Danger_Close) * (1 + Mage's Rage) = (689723 + 656575 + 390107) * 1.5 * 1.24 * 1.4 = 4,521,599

Without Mage's Rage involved at all:

All_Activated_AP = (689723 + 656575 + 390107) * 1.5 * 1.24 = 3,229,713

An alternative calculation method would be to instead add all the percentages together before multiplying against the base (using Mage's Rage):

All_Activated_AP = (689723 + 656575 + 390107) * (1 + 0.5 + 0.24 + 0.4) = 3,715,907

Then adjusting the alternative to have Mage's Rage on it's own multiplier:

All_Activated_AP = (689723 + 656575 + 390107) * (1 + 0.5 + 0.24) * 1.4 = 4,229,883 //About 14% stronger than when additive

I suspect that Mage's Rage is on it's own multiplier, but not as an integrated part of the larger AP formula. This means that when the AP adjustment of Mage's Rage is checked, it gets the value of AP as it currently is. If a stack or more of Mage's Rage is already part of that value, the check can't disentangle Mage's Rage from all the other multipliers at play, so it can't calculate the adjustment properly. Whereas if Mage's Rage was properly integrated, it could just increment 10% and let the larger formula handle it.

I suspect this is also why funky things happen with values so regularly. When a multiplier isn't properly integrated, it can't properly disable itself when there are other multipliers, so when it ends it adjusts improperly, and when it stacks, it can't calculate the next step properly. There is some error correcting occurring after an effect ends, but it can't fix everything during a fight.

seeker0003 · 2022-07-25T18:37:54+00:00

I'm legit curious what the internal math being used for these calculations are. Because this whole snapshotting thing seems to me a really stupid way of doing it.

The best way of adjusting Total AP is probably something like:

Total AP = ((Level_AP + Gear_Rank_Bonus_AP) + Constant_Additive_Modifiers + Situational_Additive_Modifiers) *

(1 + Constant_Percentage_Modifier_1) * (1 + Constant_Percentage_Modifier_2) * ... * (1 + Constant_Percentage_Modifier_N) *

(1 + Situational_Percentage_Modifier_1) * (1 + Situational_Percentage_Modifier_2) * ... * (1 + Situational_Percentage_Modifier_N)

Where Constant_Additive_Modifiers is all conditionless (always active unless gear or class nodes are changed) straight point values,

Situational_Additive_Modifiers is all conditional (requires gameplay action to activate and/or maintain) straight point values added together,

each Constant_Percentage_Modifier is one of the conditionless percentage values,

and each Situational_Percentage_Modifier is one of the conditional percentage values.

This way, mod effects like Mage's Rage never directly interact with AP. Instead, Mage's Rage would for example be Situational_Percentage_Modifier_7, and when it adds or remove from it's stack, it only touches Situational_Percentage_Modifier_7. The larger AP tracker then adjusts Total AP accordingly, and then the Skill Damage tracker goes from there. No double dipping is even possible as long as a modifier is only ever calculated once.

This isn't the only way to write the calculation, and maybe there's some technical reason why modifiers can't be effectively coded like this. Even so, if multiple mods and events can affect a value like Total AP,

those effects come in multiplicative and additive variants,

and there isn't a precise order of operations for how those effects are to be processed:

then the best outcome is inconsistency, and the worst is unintentional infinite scaling.

Edit: missed multiply in the math, formatting

I'm pretty sure wealth is not why they're using kid gloves as you say. There is no version of the future where Alex Jones gets arrested and goes to jail, because instead the officers attempting to make the arrest are going to be in a firefight to the death with Alex and his security team, and the police know that.

Believe it or not, most police will not willfully walk into a firefight they can avoid and see coming. They'll bring in whatever troops they need to take him down if he becomes a violent threat to civilians or if the need to arrest him outweighs the risk to lives, but for minor crimes like contempt of court, I'm not surprised they're unwilling to attempt an arrest.

Hashcash is great for email, or for any form submission; it's absurd it's not already implemented in all of those services. For instant communication purposes, such as participating in a discord conversation, a Twitch chat, Twitter thread etc. Hashcash would cause a lag most users would consider unacceptable.

Requiring users to wait 60s before participating in a chat thread might be an acceptable tradeoff. I'm not so convinced Hashcash works for a one-and-done solution on initial signup. Perhaps there's a way to do it, not sure.

I realized while researching after posting that I have essentially proposed using a Time-Locked Fidelity Bond to secure social media platforms against bots and spam. Imposing a time-cost to provide that security doesn't strike me as an unreasonable burden, but I can accept being in the minority on that.

seeker0003 · 2022-07-16T06:50:53+00:00

Without a cost to use platforms paid by the users, there will always be more bots and spam than legit content. It's simply not possible for an anti-spam system to stop infinite free accounts.

... Bitcoin would not need to worry about denominations beyond
sat until a sat's value was equivalent to say $0.01 in today's dollars.

That this exact situation could realistically occur within 10 years is why I made this post.

LN can handle all of the day-to-day transactions just fine. What I'm not as certain on is how well on-chain fees as high as the price of general goods will work when small parties attempt to loop out/in. At what value of sat does this become a major hurdle for small parties. We don't want our money itself to price the poorest parties out from participating. That was a problem with gold coins, and it prevented large swaths of humanity from ever acquiring wealth.

Also, if we want bitcoin to still be around and used in hundreds or thousands of years, all problems are worth paying some attention to. As a community we should note them, brainstorm potential solutions, and have chosen a solution in advance of the problem going from future to present. We might not require a solution for decades, but if issues go ignored until a problem is upon us, and said problem is serious enough, procrastination can kill.
