dr. Wright said earlier that he hopes to see a US dollar or British Pound on the 00:41:00 Bitcoin blockchain what's the likelihood you think that's gonna happen on bsv and I think you want to know what it's going to take to get there generally well I don't really see any other options 00:41:12 there's no other system that does it I mean and nasty and I'm patented all the solutions I mean yes the the Fed could actually still pay me for licensing the patents but in a way 00:41:26 that's actually still a good thing because that brings a whole lot of money into bsv and the American dollar still subsidizes Bitcoin so I mean you've got an option of them using Bitcoin and 00:41:38 scaling and doing fed coin or they can use my technology and then they can subsidize Bitcoin I don't mind either way

I'm still I'm still a little confused because of the know the whole if you create money as a 00:33:52 commodity that people can prosper by holding you nullify it as money it can't function as money that's right money is 00:34:05 as measured by its utility not by its market cap always coin market cap stuff is is really a delusion and in it and it 00:34:22 confuses people I think that it's good that Satoshi version doesn't have the market cap of coin market cap of BTC or 00:34:34 whatever it's that's a good sign you want you don't want money to be a commodity or an asset a speculative asset you want it to be a measuring 00:34:48 stick and that's I just hope that this industry understands this fundamental principle because if you create money that people want a hole you just 00:35:04 contradict the whole purpose of the endeavor you nullify your currency as money

I don't agree with some of your bits on 00:31:21 III Ahmet cetera I think it mirrors an article that everyone knows the term but miss applies it from 1996 which was the wild wild web they were talking about 00:31:35 Usenet and other like basically a Redux of the penny share scams and the postal stamp scams of earlier eras and what 00:31:48 we're seeing in a lot of ico is the same thing this whole idea we don't need any regulation well you can create a regulated ico you can create something that actually works in all of this the 00:32:02 problem I see with icos is they're analogous to a web I pee oh and we're by POS were a big thing in the early internet days where people would basically create distributed web 00:32:17 companies which were partnerships and give out shares to everyone and all this stuff and there were tokens just you called them different things and there was even a Simpsons episode where Bart 00:32:30 was running his own internet company in IP owing and they had a toilet paper roll and like the guy was pulling out shares out of the toilet paper roll and Bart said I 00:32:44 need to go and he just pulls out their shares and goes off to the toilet giving an idea of what people thought about all of this before the dot-com crash because the value of a company is not whether 00:32:56 you have an idea it's how you execute it it's how you deliver it's how you actually build something of value to people so going up there and going I've got an idea I can have this rideshare taxi company that allows people to 00:33:10 basically have no controls or responsibility so that occasionally women can get raped in the back of cars and I can go not my fault you can say that's a great idea and that's probably 00:33:23 why they lost they're about to lose their license and whatever else here in London

we could have had eventually US dollar on top of Bitcoin and I hope to see that and 00:30:45 everyone goes oh no us all well I actually think that'd be a good thing imagine US dollar and pound on top of Bitcoin with an immutable stable ledger of how much value they have compared to 00:30:57 bit join over time we'll see how that actually applies

Hidden wallet balance The confidentiality of all Zano transactions is hard-coded into the core. By concealing all sending and receiving addresses as we have maximized the level of privacy for every Zano user.

Untraceable Transactions The transactions between Zano network members are made untraceable with ring signatures and stealth addresses. Also, the way transaction data is stored on the blockchain allows access by authorized parties only, and none of the private data is ever publicly published.

six perfections (paramitas) that benefit both oneself and others: benevolent generosity, ethical discipline, forbearing patience, enthusiastic perseverance, concentrative meditation, and discerning wisdom.

This special awakening is what the bodhisattva strives to attain, deliberately choosing through his great compassion to remain in samsara and to renounce gaining salvation for himself alone. In other words, an aspiring bodhisattva wishes for awakening only as a means to bring about the positive welfare of other beings. Because of his love and compassion for all beings, the bodhisattva is never deterred by the suffering of samsara or any hardship that his altruistic efforts may entail. Fearless courage, therefore, particularly distinguishes a bodhisattva and is implicit in bodhicitta.

However, itcannot be over-emphasized that our need for understanding is best served atthe higher level of abstraction; the advantage of a high-level language isnotational rather than computational. That is, it allows us to think andrepresent our algorithms in mathematical terms rather than in terms of themachine. It is after a clear understanding of the problem is attained that weshould begin thinking about representation.

be able to run entire virtual worlds like actually put in a game like Minecraft um I think this isn't normally a gif but a PDF doesn't support GIF yet so I won't 00:18:41 be able to see the GIF but imagine being able to have an entire virtual world like Minecraft and all of the interactions of the players in that speed being able to be tracked with the 00:18:53 hard verifiability of um of consensus in a blockchain setting so like that's where we're headed

I've been hoping to talk about this for a long time this is a really like a long-term bit of work for a lot of us um the um the consensus lab in general has been 00:00:16 um pioneering a ton of like amazing contributions to the ecosystem in terms of scaling in a bunch of different ways and this one I think is going to be one of the greatest contributions that this lab is going to make um to the whole blockchain space

it sounds like this breaks cap theorem

massive scale data science um all of this sort of coordinated and think of all the data pipelines um built with IPC

you could do 00:12:48 traditional backends in a web 3 sort of sense um with optimistic or zero knowledge proof based verifiability which might be very secure verifiability to be a bit expensive but you you make it up in the scale out so by being able to Fan out 00:13:01 and have so many computers you can pay off a few orders of magnitude in running a traditional standard web app backend in the zero knowledge setting

there's this consensus bottleneck where you're trying to push in tons of amounts of of transactions you everything is getting bottlenecks

permissionless 00:02:02 large-scale Byzantine fault tolerant networks that have an economic construction within them um it's a much stronger way of building um digital resistance and applications but we need to make them scale

why Bitcoin was an ethereum and so on were sort of like disregarded by the traditional Cloud people because it just kind of seemed crazy that you know a transactional system that could do only 00:01:49 a fraction of what your phone could do was going to run the entire monetary system

web3 needs to become 00:01:23 web scale today

it gives you Byzantine 00:00:43 fault tolerant tolerance in a very nice scalable setting and it has very nice properties for a lot of classic distributed systems applications and so you can think of doing cluster management and large-scale computational 00:00:57 arrangements

design distributed applications with tolerance for interplanetary delays

let's talk about the interplanetary 00:06:31 principle it's something that the professor Community came up with and the idea is like um you know if you remember the end-to-end principle that says that

inside networks um you want to keep things dumb and stateless the endpoints have to do all 00:06:44 the work

if you were doing something simpler you could have a much simpler protocol if you were just kind 00:06:19 of like trying to do like um you know log machine replication or something like that or having eventually consistent structures and whatnot like if you want to be able to like have hard security um that's a much harder problem
