General Discussion / Re: Types of (III) innovations / Economic discussion / "are we sick?"
« on: April 15, 2014, 11:31:01 am »Good / Bad as you recognized is a matter of perspective. I think you have made some mistakes in your analysis that confuse the issue.
1) suggesting that technology improvements lead to unemployment... this is only true in the transient but is not steady state, it just leads to different and more productive employment for all. There is unlimited demand and people have an opportunity to learn how to meet it.
2) suggesting that bad has a competitive advantage over good is also make some assumptions that are likely biased by growing up in a society regulated by government, the FDA, and propaganda.
3) people want life, liberty and property... providing these things can earn great profits.

General Discussion / Re: What does Blockchain 2.0 mean for Bitshares X and other Invictus DACs?
« on: April 10, 2014, 11:45:37 am »Lol that is a funny project made irrelevant as it still depends on mining. It will not make bitcoin profitable nor decentralized. It will add more centralization.
No details were provided about the two way peg.

What is sad to me is that so many people (including someone I highly admire, Adam B Levine) still seem biased toward mining. This is a HUGE group of potential adversaries in this industry and until the general population understands that mining (especially POW Asic mining) is not necessary and potentially destructive to society and Freedom in general, I am afraid mined coins are going to have a leg up with regard to marketing and buzz.
Though I wholely appreciate your opinion on this point (and agree with it, btw), I am not so certain we should "lol" about it...because most people who know about crypto are learning about it from people with a vested interest in the status quo of "mining". I mean, I am certain there are better, more scalable forms of energy-production but due to the vested interests and their monopoly on Oil...we are still largely living 100 years behind schedule with regard to the mass adoption of cheap/free energy and largely devoid of funding for innovation in this space.
Fuzz, well put. Sadly, greed and conflict prevail far too often over reason and cooperation.

General Discussion / URGENT RFP/Work for hire request... Friend in need
« on: April 09, 2014, 03:22:43 pm »
Hero wanted for hire, a friend who runs an alt coin reached out to me a moment ago. He needs someone to do some forensic work to see if/how they have been attacked. This is their SOS:
"I think somethings wrong with the network. The wallet says it has only 1 active connection and many transactions receive either very slow or no confirmations!"
If someone can help, please provide BTC wallet address and hourly rate. I can post this on odesk if trust is an issue. They will need ongoing support so this will be an ongoing gig. They are looking to move onto an asic resistant chain immediately if they survive this.
PM and I will provide contact info...
Thanks
Enrique

« on: April 09, 2014, 01:16:26 pm »thanks for bringing this up.
until there is a product, i don't think people will be very sympathetic
I suspect a year from now when several I3 products have launched, we'll look back and see 460k insignificant. Else, there maybe a metric fuq ton of discontent.Lets continue to support I3 in every possible way, trust but verify....

thanks, so http port 80 connections are safe just not encrypted. I wonder why Vertcoin, etc.. are issuing wallet alerts?

“It’s fundamental to tell everyone to check all their servers and update ASAP [...] I can’t obviously be positive about it, but bitcoin-specific software (local wallets, etc.) should not be affected even if they use OpenSSL, since the bug is only triggerable in live TLS connections.”
Ps. Vertcoin has released an update to their wallet.

« on: April 08, 2014, 06:54:26 pm »Paging Unimercio!
sorry, I took my eye off the ball. Very interesting project idea, I'm actually vested in an aquaponic project in Austin through my son and daughter. They might be interested in contributing warehouse and greenhouse space. . He also has ties to the Texas AM ag community and Engineers without borders. I'll ask them to join the thread.
Charles and I met with a Bitcoin entrepreneur (Robert B) who owns a large wasabi farm operation in the US Northwest, also a good fit.
Let me know, if you'd like me reach out to him as well.

« on: April 05, 2014, 02:09:04 am »I think it's better to just add these payment options to an existing app. Phone calls are still routed to heavy centralized systems...for now
My field is finance and not engineering. Is there any plausible way to piggyback this on Skype or something similar?
twilio.com is very affordable and has a very robust API.. question, do we have a proof of concept where a DAC invokes a 3rd party API?

Keyhotee / Extend, config, white labeling of Keyhotee
« on: April 02, 2014, 06:42:43 pm »
I can see in the near future where interested parties in the ecosystem will want "one offs" of Keyhotee technology to serve various industries and vertical markets including:
Healthcare privacy firms bound to HIPAA regs
Internal corporate communications
Government communications (all levels of)
Title/Escrow companies
Logistics firms sending secure customs docs
etc...
At some point will it be possible to:
extend Keyhotee via plugins or macros?
Configure basic settings such as logos, localization, etc...?
Private label/brand Keyhotee technology
Ideally this could be done through a revenue generating licensing agreement, fueling future development.

« on: April 02, 2014, 06:16:16 pm »democracy leads to mediocrity
sorry had to say it
We will be wiser to follow the devs lead more, and it seems like they are really listening to our input anyway
voting on stuff could really leave a lot of people unhappy
I am not criticizing the OP or anything.
Its just my opinion that voting on can't produce excellence because the voters are informed at different levels about different topics
oh how I yearn for a benevolent dictator
