Oceans of Wisdom

so from the beginning there was one branch of the tree (low probability but not zero) that we end up in a First Amendment case at the Supreme Court. Restraining the creation and purchasing of art, in particular political art, has a huge hurdle against it in the USA

i don't think so yet, but we will get there

"we are all michael saylor" lol

lol

@[simo] 'remember this'

yup yup

in a few days ghibli will die down

2 days ago it was saratoga

and very short lifecycles

from art

i think the social media stuff is downstream for art

yes great take

"the utility of the memes is that punk6529 will harass you to do your part for decentralization" :6529spin:

as always 

nation-state resistant network or we go home :)

not annoying AF

is for it to be user friendly

and one way to get there

but explicit goal is thousands of validators

in these things

network latency, topography always a big issue

be running

best for it to have a steady internet connection

i don't think a phone can do it. i am targeting a $1K to $2K normal computer

it is a separate app from Core but we will provide a bundle I think

for the same reason that your ASIC does not contribute to BTC security if it is in your closet unplugged

but you have to validate

majority of validating TDH rules consensus

1/ well no they have different TDH rates 2/ TDH is the consensus mechanism. It is equivalent of hashing power in BTC 3/ the more expensive it becomes to get 51% of TDH the more secure the network is

another mental model: @[sundayfunday] for the blockchain. the NFTs are miners. TDH = hash rate

latest version always here. updates often

no need for them to be onchain

not on-chain though

well, ideally they go peer to peer encrypted but that is a whole other discussion

1/ Core is a few months ago 2/ SZN11 we will check if TDH based decision-making is good (I am sure it will be but we will check) even with a centralized backend, we will have decentralized decision-making 3/ then later in the year then all of this gets decentralized too. TDH is already decentralized - it is a calculation based on ETH, but rep and waves are not

Core will be the client and Nodes will be the validators/consensus

1/ **pre-nodes:** you do not need to spend any brain cycles on. this was a proof of concept to see if a bunch of people calculating TDH separately would get to the same answer. we checked the box, it works! they will be replaced by nodes (see below) which is why they were pre-nodes 2/ **Core**: is the desktop version of this site. you should download it. It still uses the centralized back-end that this website does but it decentralizes the front-end 3/ **Nodes**: A specialized L0/L1 that will replace the backend of this website, combining ETH and its own activity Once #3 is out, Core will link to Nodes and we will have fully decentralized, we will be running a blockchain

we won't know this until we try

that would be great

if we can do it so that a $1K to $2K level machine and a normal good home connection (50Mbps or 100 or whatever) is sufficient

I am targeting more decentralized than BTC (we will see!) but in any case BTC / ETH levels of decentralization, not SOL levels

which means more decentralized

which means we can do home validating

block times: I think 2 minutes will be safe and we might be able to get down to 30 seconds. we have to see. it is quite stripped down vs EVM by design (no turing complete language, just state changes) which should allow relatively lower powered (like a good PC) machines to keep up

yup

they don't just validate TDH, they validate transactions, update state, pick from mempool etc

yes there are block rewards and tx fees

because obviously there is not one right answer to this question

but it does not tell you if you want a 1/1 or 3/5 or 11/23 consensus
