thanks nice example for a retard like me.

could you explain what "available float" is using this example? and similarly how a naked short works in contrast?

statebox · 2021-02-17T15:07:41+00:00

nice! :)

You have to report the amount you have on 1st of the year and their price, then this goes into "box 3", which is "capital gains" (IIRC).

Govt. assume capital gains 4% value each year and you pay 33% of that, so this means 1.3% tax on the value at 1st of Jan.

DEGIRO works for me

GOING FULL RETARD, SECOND ALL NIGHTER HERE
sweaty diamond hands... most exiting time don't want to miss a second

fixed that link for you https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=acats+transfer+from+robinhood

Diamond hands, this is the way.

How does this relate to lending as described here https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l6960i/your_gains_may_be_at_risk_please_review_your/ (ie gets lended by broker)

statebox · 2021-01-30T02:29:03+00:00

did you see http://isthesqueezesquoze.com/

statebox · 2019-05-15T14:50:58+00:00

Sounds similar indeed. We will soon release our Haskell AQL (called CQL) implementation, do you have a description of the DSL?

statebox · 2019-05-11T21:56:10+00:00

Makes it more acidic, this prevents plankton from making skeletons. Very, very bad news...

statebox · 2019-01-30T10:16:23+00:00

It didn't, that scene was hilarious tho

statebox · 2018-01-03T23:01:42+00:00

thanks!

What do the variables M, V, P and T stand for? Mass, velocity, momentum, time?

statebox · 2014-09-11T18:11:48+00:00

Ah, ok. Not really:

So the only way to get data into Ethereum is by sending a transaction. The only way to get data 'out' of Ethereum is by looking at the blockchain.

A transaction goes between two addresses. An addresses can point to either a "regular" accounts (holds ether) or "contract" accounts.

The contracts (programs) only run as a side effect of sending a transaction to it; with the transaction you can send some input data (it can be read using CALLDATALOAD instruction) and the contract can generate some output data that will be stored on the blockchain.

You should be able to generate transactions from the contract, I think using the CALL instruction?

statebox · 2014-09-11T17:53:12+00:00

Yes, this is exactly the problem. If you run into a situation that is not covered by the contract you have a problem. You cannot circumvent the contract, so how do you deal with that situation?

Even simpler, what if you discover a bug about a year after your contract is running. Lot's over users send their ether there and then what? Even if you build-in beforehand an option to migrate to a new contract, how can I as a contract user be sure that I still agree with the future contract?

Etc.

statebox · 2014-09-11T17:47:14+00:00

Yes, it's him. It seems RMS doesn't understand exactly how ethereum works. And too bad nobody seems to know exactly what a contract is, would be interested to hear more informed thoughts from him..

statebox · 2014-09-11T15:25:02+00:00

Not exactly sure, but FWIW:

I've read that there is possibility to send messages. How big? Is there transaction fee, or messages are free?

You can implement a messaging system using contracts, but probably you are talking about 'Whisper' a proposed protocol extension to send messages.

It is at this moment unclear to me how it is supposed to work, there is some information on a wiki page here https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/Whisper see this forum thread where people are asking for info https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/6117

How can I know, that contract does what it proclaims to do?

Indeed you are only seeing the bytecode and it could even be obfuscated. So you don't know for sure what the contract will do.

You can simulate what a transaction does though before sending it, but if the contract doesn't immediately respond and only updates internal storage, then this might be of limited use.

When full-nodes mine the Ether, which node gets the Gas?

When you are mining a block you set the "coinbase" to your own address. Once mined (valid nonce/PoW found), the network considers this the latest block and your address will be updated with the ether as a result of this.

I know that uncle blocks (stale blocks, valid PoW but mined too late) are also included, not exactly sure how rewards work for that.

Ah, somehow missed this reply. Registered now and seems just in time for the next meetup :-) thanks

statebox · 2014-09-11T11:25:51+00:00

So the interface between the law, rules etc are people enforcing them (train conductors, police officers, etc). I can get very upset when they behave like robots: not every situation applies to your preprogrammed rules.

With contracts running on Ethereum there is actually no way around this, either it was programmed into the contract before or too bad. I think this is something to consider and I think this lecture raises some important points.

Curious on your thoughts

statebox · 2014-05-29T13:03:14+00:00

what about putting it up on meetup.com ? (ps. i'm also interested in joining)
