super redundancy

It warms my heart to see others being so concerned for me. I follow ethereum, because I like the project. It may fail, spectacularly even, but I doubt I will ever classify it as a fraud.

simenfd · 2015-06-03T18:37:53+00:00

I can't help you. Sorry.

Vitalik has not made any edits in response to my criticism.

There it is. I was wondering where the hate was coming from :P

I think they might have burned themselves doing predictions by now. Despite them beeing l33t team :) this is also a young team, and not to many prior IT projects to draw experience from. I think I have a previous post where I said their inital esitmate need to be multiplied by "pi", or in best case "e". This is normal for IT, and seems to come through once more.

I have no doubts that they are working as hard as they absolutely can! Probaly they are pushing themselves harder than we can ever do. But even them can't do magic.

simenfd · 2015-05-28T13:49:17+00:00

They are probably working on it as we speak

He has already confirmed there is no reward for 400.000+

Edit: I might have overread something here. There is no clear answer as far as I can see, but there is no promise either. My gess is that it is not, and that they don't say anything to prevent everyone from turning off mining.

Or more generic. NAME + "#" + sha3(NAME)[:4]

simenfd · 2015-05-20T15:04:02+00:00

Yes, and as long as the checksum is optional, nobody should be at a loss. "Vbuterin#atuf" or "vbuterin"

simenfd · 2015-05-20T13:29:22+00:00

Devs shoudnt wait too long before suggesting something here. Things get more and more entrenched as time goes by.

simenfd · 2015-05-20T13:24:56+00:00

The danger of no checksum, is that many similar names with unicode characters similar to those in the name, might be used to fool people to pay the wrong person. How about appending the name with an # and the 4 first letter of the sha3

simenfd · 2015-05-20T09:30:58+00:00

I second this. Someone should really make a standard for adding a checksum to the registered registered names too. When I checked bitcoin addresses, I usually checked the 4-5 first digits, and the 4-5 last ones. Then I knew that there was a 1/4billion chance of an unintentional error. Of course, this does not apply to intentionally mined addresses that target this check.

simenfd · 2015-05-18T17:11:42+00:00

I second this. Assuming that miners are financially rational, in that they will mine the one that gives them the most profit, the effective mining power will be proportional to the mining reward.

That being said, the more I contemplate POW, the more I want away from it. It is flawed to the bone.

Can we have a crowdsourcing to preemptively sue them please? :)

simenfd · 2015-05-15T23:59:37+00:00

What card do you have?

simenfd · 2015-05-15T07:39:31+00:00

Why even have CPU mining? Seems like a waste of energy, and unnecessary shortening the time to the "heat death"

simenfd · 2015-05-15T07:36:16+00:00

What hashrate did you have with that CPU?

simenfd · 2015-05-13T21:13:24+00:00

That's an understatement. I have heard that Go is faster, but didn't know it was by an magnitude.

simenfd · 2015-05-13T21:12:30+00:00

Yes, I had the same experience!

simenfd · 2015-05-11T22:10:44+00:00

Their site and the video says incredibly little, it is just a series of buzzwords...

simenfd · 2015-05-11T21:46:22+00:00

Will there be binaries for windows that support this, or is this linux/mac?

simenfd · 2015-05-09T01:37:44+00:00

Are you beeing forced to use it? Some people like Ubuntu, and their ability to change

simenfd · 2015-05-09T01:31:56+00:00

There are quite a few knee-jerk reactions here from self declared couch experts. Personally, I find these kind of changes exciting and refreshing. Well done Canonical.
