so you open an governance variable with, say, 1 veo on true side, then someone else comes in who wants to be on false must bet at least 2 veo? If that is all the bets that exist, the false side will have open orders and be the winner?

Right now there are not many mining pools, so there isn't much incentive to make sure all the rewards are paid.

also im not sure you understand why your balance was "vaporized". if you knew what happened you would know that it was not deception. everyone mining to that pool from like block 150 or something to 800 was actually mining on a fork since his node did not stay in sync.

we could build an atomic swap tool.
I already wrote the lightning payment tool, which is the amoveo half of the atomic swap.
I think ethereum already has atomic swaps, so we would just need to connect them together.

a 1080 gpu gets 342 MH

yeah thats an option, but i am curious about insured transfers, so that coins or assets without atomic swaps can still be transferred with trust but with trustless insurance against theft, which essentially makes the trusted transfer trustless

In reply to this message
did you do sync:start().
Z
15:24
Zack
In reply to this message
you are nearly correct.
block:height is how many blocks you have downloaded. a block is up to 1 megabyte big and contains all the transactions.
api:height is how many headers you have downloaded. a header is about 100 bytes and can be used to verify merkle proofs of the blockchain state at that point in time. headers also contain the proof of work proofs so you know which chain is longest.

it takes the median of the first thousand, and the median of the second thousand, and then takes the difference of those two values.

1 cpu / month $10
Cost of MH/s (per Month) $33
Seconds Per month 2,628,000
Cost of MH/s (per second) $0.00001268
Estimated seconds to reward 18
HashRate To Generate VEO 702000
Cost to generate reward $8.90410959
VEO Reward 1.57
Cost/VEO $5.67
VEO Generated Per 1 CPU Per Month 1.76
17:07
Good miners can generate it much cheaper than $5.67. $5.67 is what a noob can generate it for
17:08
with a 30% profit margin for miners, I would be willing to buy VEO for $7.37
17:10
I suppose the introduction of GPU miners without much increase in difficulty would also lower the price of VEO, but we will see how that goes I assume itll increase to match

without much increase in difficulty?

yeah
17:12
but if people aren't using it then its cheaper than $7 to mine VEO since your cost per MH/s goes down
17:12
if everyone is using it, your cost is the same but you get fewer reward
17:14
any professional miner should be willing to sell VEO for $7.37

There are private asic (or more likely fpga) miners that aren't part of the community (anonymous).

zack, i think we need to do something so that all people interested in the project can be early stakeholders.

the idea that batman won the first 2k race while no one was even able to sync with the batman node is very demoralizng to everyone that has spent time researching, interacting, writing code, developing ideas for use on amoveo.

step 1)
I bet 0.5 Veo that the block reward will go up
step 2) defenders bet 1 Veo that it will stay the same.

3) this escalates until the defenders have no more money to defend with.
4) community updates software to do a soft fork so that I cannot try to raise the block reward any more. so the defenders win.
5) defenders all have twice as much money now. I lost all the money I attacked with.

The betting is just to let the situation escalate so that it becomes affordable for Nakamoto consensus to take over.

If we use Nakamoto consensus for every oracle question, it would be too expensive to run a full node of the blockchain. you would have to sit and read and look things up.

The market mechanism allows us to make a profit for looking these things up.

Nakamoto consensus (invented in bitcoin) is a way for the network to come to decisions. It incentivizes us to agree.
Using Nakamoto consensus to answer questions like "Would it be better if difficulty increased?" is possible, but it is very expensive. The users and miners would have to manually answer that question as part of the process of syncing the blockchain.
We us a market mechanism to allow the disagreement to escalate to the point where Nakamoto consensus can profitably answer the question.
