Maybe we can DDOS Sy's node to prevent mining to save him from wasting money
10:40
is that illegal?
OK

im pretty sure Sy's mining pool full nodes are the most hardened part of Amoveo
10:41
plenty of victimless things are crimes
OK
10:41
O K
Depends how you define crime I guess

Looks like veoscan is mixing together blocks from both sides of the fork
10:50
What really confuses me is how it says 39519 was mined by veopool.pw
When veopool.pw is still on 39515
OK
10:51
O K
Hmm...
Z
10:52
Zack
My full node says that veopool mined 39521
10:54
Somehow Sy is mining blocks on both sides.

I am guessing that Sy's mining pool has multiple full node back ends, and only some are updated.
That way he automatically switches, as long as more than 1/2 the network switches.

In reply to this message
but he still lost money though
but if his system accounts for that
he could underpay those miners next time if they continue to mine on his pool to balance out

only like 4 block rewards. 0.6 * 4 is about 2.4 veo.
Way better than it could have been

In reply to this message
still about 300$ of losses. around an average monthly wage here in russia
Z
11:05
Zack
veopool charges 2.5%
They have about 1/2 the hashpower, so in a day they find about 50 veo.
So that is more than 1 veo per day of profit.

what is nice about mimble wimble is that it is only using crypto that already exists, and the memory requirements stay small.
Every other design that makes quantities private ends up with a huge database much bigger than bitcoin.

good morning
16:04
seems like this was an interesting night
16:04
even though both nodes were on the new code, the primary node for the pool managed to create a fork
16:05
i will leave it in that state for now, zack might want some logs
16:05
interestingly enough the backup node choose to stay on the currently "right" chain, once that one got ahead the pool switched nodes and the pool was back in business

shouldnt have happened in the first place tho...

Augur's design is excessively expensive compared with Amoveo.
They really don't stand a chance as competitors.
08:06
They have lots of money to throw around and act important, but that doesn't make up for an expensive product.
MF
08:51
Mr Flintstone
it isnโ€™t very expensive right now
08:51
definitely more expensive than it should be but not prohibitive
08:52
at some point itโ€™ll get bad tho I think
Z
08:53
Zack
The major cost is in convincing people to hold Rep.
As long as people hold it speculatively, it will seem affordable.
MF
08:53
Mr Flintstone
they flipped to a burn model for fees which makes PV calc more difficult I feel
Z
08:54
Zack
Ultimately, this is like a business.
Costs can only exceed revenue for a limited time.
MF
08:54
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
so it is harder to value than if you can do a dcf on future earnings
Z
08:55
Zack
burning rep is exactly identical to distributing it to current rep holders
MF
08:55
Mr Flintstone
if the Nash equilibrium is low amounts of betting then the only reason to hold rep is the buy and burn
08:56
In reply to this message
true, maybe this makes it easier

burning is often preferable to distributing, because you edit less data. it is faster to compute.

Bets in eth
T
10:00
Topab
if rep is not used in bets, was just a funrising thing or is used for something else?
10:13
I will ask in their telegram better
Z
10:13
Zack
in Augur, rep is used to report the result for the oracle.
It is based on Paul Sztorc's oracle design from truthcoin/bitcoin hivemind.
T
10:13
Topab
Then it has a value because you can lose it
Z
10:14
Zack
So the trading fees need to be high enough to pay the rep-reporters enough so that they expect to make more profit by taking fees instead of from cheating in a market.

That is where rep's value comes from, they get trading fees.
10:14
Another problem with that design is parasite contracts.
Someone could make contracts that reference the oracle's state, and don't pay trading fees.
If the reporters don't get paid trading fees, then their nash equilibrium switches to cheating on the outcome of an oracle to rob a market.
T
10:16
Topab
If you lose your rep by cheating the oracle you lose it so no incentive to cheat
Z
10:16
Zack
We realized this after Augur had already went into debt for the ICO, and once the Rep tokens were sold, it was no longer possible to abandon the investors and go with a different design.
This is a large part of the reason I left Augur.
10:17
In reply to this message
that only works if the trading fees exceed the expected profit from cheating in the markets.

If a mechanism is broken in just one place, then the entire mechanism is broken.
T
10:28
Topab
"if the trading fees exceed the expected profit from cheating in the markets", the only problem I see is that low fees for the oracle do not incentivice oracle participation. Besides that, in the case someone tries to cheat the oracle, other rep holders will participate towin those

I wrote the MVP of augur and taught them their design.

See page 27 of the bitcoin hivemind white paper. http://bitcoinhivemind.com/papers/truthcoin-whitepaper.pdf

Paul sztorc invented this design. He describes it's limitations and costs.
10:36
Jack and Joey have admitted this limitation, in person and online.
10:38
I think they put it in the augur white paper too. The stuff about 7.5x open interest, or whatever they call it.
They set it up so the market cap of rep is always more than 7.5x bigger than the total bets in all the markets.

I've been thinking more about the email where we are financially protected from spam.
This would be such a cool tool. We wouldn't have to let big company's like Google control which emails we can see.

If we can get people using amoveo for secure communication, maybe they will try out some amoveo markets as well, since they already have the software.

Some problems with the email idea: Both users need to use Amoveo. The system will scale with the number of users, but people would not like to use this unless 99% of the world also used the system. So it will never catch on.
19:30
Second: it needs to be integrated in thw email client. Currently I use gmail and outlook, so thats definitively a major hurdle
19:30
Third, if people dont bother to read, you lose the deposit even for a valid email (eg the recipient is dead)

Fourth, most people are curious, and would like to read any mail if they knew it existed. Its like not emptying the trashcan if the icon shows a full trashcan, many people will accept any mail
19:33
Fifth: most people dont care if Google is filtering your mail as long as they are doing a decent job at it.
19:33
So, I would at least advise you to think this through
19:35
I think the model might work better for twitter. If enough people thought you were spam, thos people could collect your deposit
19:35
Also advertisers could pay people to look at ads in this way (but hopefully i will never live in a world where I earn money by looking at ads)

I think twitter could have been a more interesting platform if automated tweets were allowed. Paying a deposit would make the platform usable by removing spam

Tallak, that is a big wall of text. It seems like you don't understand the anti-spam mechanism.
You should ask questions first, before trying to give advice.

If you are reading a message, and you think it is spam, then you click the spam button. This would cause the person who sent the message to lose a safety deposit.

So far Amoveo has 3 smart contracts:
1) lightning payments
2) binary derivatives
3) scalar derivatives

Here are some smart contracts I am thinking of making next:
* anti-spam safety deposit for sending messages
* satoshi dice, to trustlessly gamble veo
* a binary derivative priced in the shares from a market of scalar derivatives. So you can make a bet priced in USD for example.

I think gambling is a great vector for adoption
23:55
How would you implement a trustless RNG?
Z
23:59
Zack
both sides generate a secret random number.
They both calculate the hash of their secret, this is called the commitment.
The commitments both go in the smart contract.
Then they both reveal their secrets to unlock the contract.
you xor the secrets to generate a trustless random number.

If you want to connect the outcomes in different channels together:
You can ask the oracle a question designed to be random, or you can use hashlocking.
00:16
https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/chalang/blob/master/src/forth/satoshi_dice.fs

The satoshi dice contract already exists.
I would just need to write some api to negotiate it from the light node, and I would need to embed the bytecode into the light node.

It is easy for me to get motivated about a decentralized, spam-free, uncensorable, private, messaging system.

The problem will begin when devs make other SCs using those 3 as parameter if they only copy blindly the code... it is a sistemic risk

yeah, if developers write broken smart contracts, then the smart contracts will be broken.

Amoveo is so different from Ethereum.
I am thinking Amoveo will end up having around 10 smart contracts, and then we will stop writing more.
Every use-case of Amoveo will be some combination of the existing contracts.

There are only so many kinds of derivatives that are useful.

I am thinking I will make shards, and have it so you can request merkel proofs from any shard. once you have all the proofs for a tx, then you can publish the tx with the proofs to any mining pool.
a spend_tx for example needs 2 proofs, one for the sender's account, and one for the receiver's account.

A custom smart contract could require a lot of proofs.

Z

Tether depends on a centralized company to hold a bunch of USD to be able to buy back all the tethers.

You could buy a derivative on Amoveo to cancel out your VEO risk, and be left with a risk profile the same as USD.
This allows you to own USD on the blockchain without depending on any centralized person or company.

If you short VEO/USD just the right amount, it cancels out the risk of owning VEO

i think they are still taking fees but you need to make an offer

SS
21:46
Spike Spiegel
1. Create oracle: "will veo will be listed on { CMC, exchange 1, exchange 2} " and people actually interested in listing may bet "no" - to put their money where the mouth is.

Some person inside CMC / exchange may lobby for pro-Amoveo changes - while voting yes

There are lots of ways to write a dac.
I think using a binary market and censoring some bets is a great first version.

The problem with a regular binary market is that people can bet in both directions.

By limiting people to only bet in one direction, we can use it as a dominant assurance contract

Can VEO handle 2M in bets?
22:20
would it require $2M VEO to be locked up?
Z
22:21
Zack
I don't have enough VEO to run a market with $2 M in bets.
AK
22:21
A K
so $2M in VEO would be locked, right?
Z
22:22
Zack
Currently if you run a market channel node, if you match customer's bets then you need to have as much Veo locked inside the node as is being bet.
22:22
But if people made direct channels to each other without going through the market node, then they can bet directly against each other using the same smart contract and we wouldn't have to lock up any extra VEO.
AK
22:23
A K
but they would still need to lock up $2M ?
Z
22:25
Zack
For example, if Bob and Carol are betting through Alice's server it would be like this:
Bob bets 1 at 1:2 odds, Carol bets 2 at 2:1 odds, Alice locks up 2 on the other side of Bob's contract, Alice locks up 1 on the other side of Carol's contract. In total 6 veo are in channels.

Example, Bob and Carol bet directly with each other:
Bob bets 1 at 1:2 odds, Carol bets 2 at 2:1 odds.
In total 3 veo are in channels.
22:26
Compare this with Augur:
$160 million of Rep are locked up in the contract to support $2 million of bets.
Augur's lock up ratio is currently 80x
At best they can get to 7.5x.

Amoveo at worst is 2x, and at best we can do 1x.
AK
22:27
A K
what's the math behind 7.5x , curious
Z
22:28
Zack
Augur's white paper talks about limiting what they call the "open interest" to less than 1/7.5th of the market cap of Rep.
22:29
Augur is only secure if the total volume of bets is less than the market cap of Rep.
22:29
They did a bunch of math to decide that a 7.5x safety margin is good enough for Augur
AK
22:32
A K
ah, so arbitrarily
22:32
but this locked REP yields some interest, right?
22:32
sorry about questions re augur here, if you consider offtopic disregard
Z
22:34
Zack
The only way Rep can maintain it's value is if the profit from trading fees exceeds the lost opportunity cost of having your money locked in the contract as Rep.

Similarly, a person is only willing to run a channel node if the profit from fees exceeds to cost of leaving your VEO locked in the node.
SS
22:47

How you can explain why for example ZRX have value if Relayers don't even have to use ZRX for fees and said governance is nonexisting

A lot of cryptocurrencies are valuable because of the greater fool hypothesis.
Even if the cryptocurrency doesn't actually create value, it can still be a good investment as long as someone else will buy it for a higher price in the future.
22:51
This sort of speculative value does not last.
22:51
Eventually there is no greater fool left to dump your worthless altcoin on.
SS
22:54
Spike Spiegel
"suppose that all cryptocurrencies are going up an average of 2% annually, but then one of these cryptocurrencies burns 0.5% of its coins annually from transaction fees. That cryptocurrency will go up an average of 2.5% annually, and so in a portfolio theory model it will be more attractive to hold larger quantities of it. Hence, in the long run we do expect the best stores of value to be things that are useful for other reasons first, and stores of value second."
22:55
If issuing currencies people care about requires some strong signal (marketing and similar stuff) - then altcoin issuance may stabilize in equilibrium
22:56
Amoveo is great in this regard since contracts providing utility to the world may extract wealth ( and burn / lock )
22:57
Is there a way to provably burn the coins?
Z
22:57
Zack
Any asset is losing value by the interest rate.
If holding the asset is less profitable than the interest rate, no one would want to hold it.

To it is better to suppose that all cryptocurrencies are losing 10% of their value a year, and we use fees and burning to overcome this loss.
22:58
A person can earn profit with Amoveo by using it to hedge their risks, or running a market where other people can hedge.
SS
22:58
Spike Spiegel
People would rebalance their passive portoflia to hold more and more stuff like Makerdao
22:58
More demand for stablecoins (in bear market) -> more Maker burn
Z
23:00
Zack
A stablecoin is for mimicing the value of something like USD. but USD is also losing value by the interest rate.

Holding USD is not an investment.
You might want to hold it as a hedge, or use it for denominating some other contract.
23:01
at least with USD the interest rate is lower than with cryptocurrency.
23:03
lets suppose that a stablecoin was an investment expected to increase in value.
If that were the case, then nobody would be willing to take the other side of the stablecoin contract. So there would be zero stablecoins available to buy.
Therefore, stablecoins can not be a profitable investment. They only work as a hedge, or for denominating other contracts.
SS
23:06
Spike Spiegel
Profit motive isn't only thing - some people are using stablecoins since there is demand for it - it's convinient to just hold some stable value in metamask wallet and pay people without KYC / AML
23:07
Literally holding USD in bank is cheaper and one can also earn money by investing in US gov bonds
23:08
Silkroad vendors were totally oblivious to wild bitcoin price swings since they had already massive profit margin - for illegal activities one may use very badly designed financial products to avoid detection
Z
23:10

using stablecoin for convenience is an example of denominating other contracts in stablecoin, like I just said.

I am thinking of making a tool in the light node so that pairs of users can make a channel together, and create a custom contract-for-difference between them.
Both users are only using the light node, they wouldn't use a channel server.

Markets are important tools, but when the trading volume is light, and privacy is in demand, sometimes OTC trading is better.

This would also bring us one step closer to the eventual goal of being able to move bets from indirect paths to direct ones.

Usd or fiat or political currency lose value cos they printed too much every year ( the supply side ) , the demand side is real economy growth as it s used as medium of exchange and lesser part as storeage of value, so the printed amt growth smaller in % vs use case growth then the value go up

Zap oracles is not actually an Oracle. It is trusted feeds.

Aeternity Is also calling trusted feeds as "oracles".
Maybe we need to invent a different word to mean "trustless tool to teach the blockchain facts".
Since everyone is using this word to mean "trustful tool to teach the blockchain facts."

But the thing is, why would anyone use a blockchain for a trustful relationship?
If you are going to trust someone anyway, you could use fiat cash.

Zap oracles are like a more limited version of bit rated.

it doesn't implement light node yet using only full node RPC apis. both of iOS and android apps work this way right now.
it requests address balance and pushes locally signed transactions.

since it doesn't allow to use channels yet I don't think it somehow affects users security.

Ive been researching mimble wimble more.
I am thinking of a plan to add more anonymity to amoveo.
We make a new database of accounts, this one isn't a merkel tree, instead it is a mimble-wimble type cryptographic database.
We make a transaction type for transfering veo into the anonymous system, a tx type for returning veo back to the normal accounts system, and a tx type for spending veo anonymously inside the mimble-wimble mixer.

Not only would this add anonymity, the mimble-wimble type txs can be compressed a lot more. There is only one signature for all the txs in the entire block.
AK
22:52

anonymity is a must! +++

I guess they are already trusting you to write a honest android app, so trusting you a second time to run an honest node doesn't make it worse.
22:56
It isn't a long term solution.
Blockchains make things trustless for everyone's benefit.
If you have the ability to steal so much money just by updating your app, or changing the code on your full node, then someone might black mail you into stealing for them.

DV
22:59
Denis Voskvitsov
i can't steal someone's money by updating the node, it receives already signed transactions.

source code still can be changed though. but in the modern app stores there is no way to determine if the build you've downloaded made from the same code as published.
23:01
we'll publish the app in f-droid too, it will be a bit more trusted source, afair they support verified builds
23:01
but iOS still is the issue
Z
23:01

For example, you could update your node to display a different balance for the user than they actually have.
So you could hire them to mail you something, and make it look like you paid, but you didn't really pay them.
DV
23:03
Denis Voskvitsov
yep, that could be possible.
anyway, we have headers/merkle tree support in our nearest plans.
Z
23:04

right, you would need merkle trees too
23:05
Maybe the way to do this is to have a bunch of different people publish wallets, and try and spread out the users between them.
To decrease the likelyhood of any wallet provider getting hurt.
AK

Monero takes more space for blockchain

DV
23:21
Denis Voskvitsov
last hardfork with bulletproofs reduced tx size drastically btw
Z
23:22
Zack
more space isn't necessarily a problem, depends on how much.

Right now you can verify a block without knowing anything about any other block. because each block has all the merkel proofs it needs to verify that block.
You don't need to store a database of block data, you only have to store the merkel root.
This makes our light nodes so powerful.

We need a privacy system that is compatible with this.
AK
23:23

MW / Grin allows for pruning, Monero not so much AFAIR
23:24
also there was some twit of XMR considering a MW layer 2 sidechain ))
Z
23:26

There is still something like an address, right?
Maybe it is a multi-step handshake, rather than a broadcast. so you need to connect the wallets together and let them sort it out.
AK

in Grin - no, no address

anonymous transactions stand out
23:54
entrance/exit form anonymous system will be scrutinized

Monero takes a radical approach
23:54
which I like
Z
23:55
Zack
with mimble wimble the anonymous txs will probably have lower fees, since they are so much smaller.
So I think they would be the default.
We could even use governance to make non-anonymous txs more expensive to encourage the private version.
23:55
We need it to be compatible with our light nodes and channels for sure. that way you can be anonymous without having to install a full node and sync all the blocks.

"One of the things that surprises founders most about fundraising is how distracting it is. When you start fundraising, everything else grinds to a halt. The problem is not the time fundraising consumes but that it becomes the top idea in your mind. A startup can't endure that level of distraction for long. An early stage startup grows mostly because the founders make it grow, and if the founders look away, growth usually drops sharply."

Is there a limit to the length of a question we can ask an oracle?
MF
01:29
Mr Flintstone
yes but not practically
01:30
so there is a limit to the number of characters in the question text, which is itself a governance variable
01:30
but you can always say: follow the instructions in the preimage of this hash
01:30
and then distribute the preimage in social media or whatever

shoutout to whoever doesnโ€™t care about slippage on qtrade
Z
02:16
Zack
What is slippage?
MF
02:30
Mr Flintstone
maybe someone has a more precise definition, but it is the difference between the market price at the time when you entered a market order to buy or sell and the actual execution price of your trade
[
02:30
[Riki]
happens on bitmex frequently due to large levered orders
MF
02:30
Mr Flintstone
since there might not be enough order book depth for your trade, it will execute at a worse price than the market price at that time
02:30
latency factors in as well for continuous markets
Z
02:31
Zack
The price displayed on qtrade.io is the last trade matched.
So sometimes the spread between buys and sells doesn't contain the current price.
02:31
It seems like price isn't defined. So slippage isn't well defined either
[
02:35
[Riki]
It usually happens when a margin trade gets liquidated during a highly volatile price action (support or resistance break), when a high volume of liquidations occur, not all can be liquidated at a given price at that moment. Many orders can slip.

NETWORK TOKEN
Amoveo is a blockchain which secures a cryptocurrency called Veo. Using Amoveo you can host a market on a server where you make money every time anyone trades. Using Veo in the markets, you can buy and sell risk in anything. With Amoveo it is impossible for customers to steal from a market, and it is impossible for the market to steal from its customers.
Amoveo is a blockchain meant for enforcement of investment and insurance contracts. Amoveo contracts are enforced using state-channels. This means fees are low, contracts are nearly instant and can support a global audience.
Amoveo has oracle technology. Amoveo can learn facts about our world and enforce the outcome of contracts that are governed by these facts. This, for example, enables you to bet on the price of Amazon shares.
The variables that define how to participate in Amoveo can be modified by the Amoveo community using a built-in process. This way Amoveo will always stay optimally tuned to produce the best results.
Positives
Amoveo utilizes Oracles to ensure accurate data is fed to Smart Contracts in charge of executing several functions. Without accurate data, Smart Contracts can be โ€œmisguidedโ€ by Bad Actors who wish to cause the execution of a contract in their favor. Betting & Prediction markets are some of the best examples of this tech being used in real world situations (Sport, Markets, etc). Amoveo takes things a step further by exploring the possibilities for Stablecoins, Crowd-Funding, Insurance and even Derivatives. Where competitors such as Augur and Aeternity are focused in on one or a few possibilities, Amoveo is exploring the full spectrum of possibilities that Oracles bring to the table. Should Amoveo see similar adoption to current players in the space, it could make a lot of projects unnecessary due to Amoveo taking way their โ€œpoint of differenceโ€ and improving/innovating on it.
Weโ€™ve mentioned how Amoveo is currently it its โ€œearly daysโ€ a few times now, so letโ€™s take a look at their Roadmap. It looks like trying and testing the various possibilities that Amoveo brings to the table is the next milestone. Stablecoins, Smart Contract Payouts, Fundraising, Governance, that sort of thing. After this milestone it looks like studying the user base and marketing/exposure is to follow. At some point Amoveo will rename and rebrand and information about Amoveo will be featured on a website. Pretty straight forward Roadmap.
Speaking from an investors perspective, Amoveo offers up an opportunity to get into a project that can and most likely will rival competitors with $100m+ Market Caps while being well under a $5m Market Cap at the time of writing (October 2018). Given the lack of not only exchange listings but listings on CoinMarketCap and other Cryptocurrency monitoring websites, Amoveo has an incredible amount of potential exposure ahead of it if these listings come to fruition. Amoveo has a long way to go but if youโ€™re prepared to hold for the long term, it may just pay off from these catalysts alone.
Despite the current lack of marketing/exposure and the lack of volume due to little in the way of exchange listings, Amoveo has an incredibly dedicated community behind it. Weโ€™ve seen projects that raised over $20m with half of the community engagement that Amoveo boasts. Further to this point, Amoveo never held an ICO and has been mainly developed by Zack-Bitcoin out of pure passion for blockchain tech. Keep an eye on VEO as it makes itโ€™s way up onto CoinMarketCap and more exchanges. It wonโ€™t be long until VEO is recognized as a worthy competitor to other projects in this space.
Concerns
Weโ€™ve got to get the obvious out of the way first. Amoveo is, at the moment, incredibly hard to find information resources on outside of the Amoveo Github. From what we can see, Amoveo doesnโ€™t have a website at this time. We strongly recommend investors visit the Amoveo Github instead of Googling for any information at this time, it will make research a lot easier. The explorer, wallet and escrow system available are all very basic right now but these wil
03:08
l no doubt be upgraded with a proper GUI in the future. Itโ€™s very clear that the Developer/s behind Amoveo are more concerned with the actual platform for the time being, rather than marketing/interface. Zack-Bitcoin (Developer) has mentioned in the Amoveo Roadmaps later stages that โ€œAny money spent on advertising before this point in time is going to be dozens or hundreds of times less effectiveโ€. This makes complete sense, no poing advertising something you havenโ€™t finished. Not a bad thing at all. Investors should be prepared to do some Whitepaper reading, thatโ€™s all!
Amoveo has some pretty well established competition in this space. Auger and Aeternity have been around for quite some time and are in use today. The Lead Developer (Zack-Bitcoin) working on Amoveo also helped work on the previously mentioned projects, so heโ€™s well versed in this model. We wonโ€™t attempt to go into the technical details here but Amoveo is planning to offer a whole lot more than the competition in terms of features & network capability.
No other concerns here. So far thereโ€™s nothing to point out as being potentially concerning in regards to the proposed model, zack-bitcoin looks to be a very well respected developer in this space. Our main concern is simply the competition in the space and the current lack of research resources and exchange listings but these will no doubt improve over time.

This Price Prediction section was a feature voted on by our community on Twitter. We do not stand by any of the following statements, we are merely speculating. We have been known to be pretty bullish on most projects we review, so take our predictions and DYOR.
As always, we like to take a step back and look at projects from a purely investment based perspective. VEO will no doubt see a ton of organic price growth through exchange listings and planned marketing in the future, any investments now would have a pretty good chance of appreciating from these catalysts, although any investment in such a new project comes with risk. Now sitting just under a $5m Market Cap (October 2018), VEO still has a huge amount of growth potential in the long term based on fundamentals. Smart Contracts are very susceptable to Bad Actors in an environment not monitored by Oracles, so expect this area of Smart Contracts to continue to expand. Now, onto everyoneโ€™s favorite, price predictions. Please keep in mind due to the lack of price history, these are highly speculative guesses.
Short term (< 3 Months) We think VEO could be sitting anywhere from $250 to $500.
Mid Term (6 โ€“ 12 Months) we think VEO could be a stable $600 to $1,000, especially if the market turns around in the next few months.
Anywhere passed 12 months would be impossible to accurately speculate on but weโ€™d be confident on a $2000+ VEO in 1+ years. The current VEO supply is just under 35,000, so a $2,000 VEO would equate to a $70m Market Cap. Thereโ€™s something to be said for ultra-low supply coins and the attractiveness they present to savvy investors, but thatโ€™s another story for another time.
As with any investment into a low-cap project such as VEO, you absolutely must do your own research. We are by no means providing financial advice. Be smart!

you are currently using a binary string of the base64-encoded oracle id.
Instead just use the oracle id.
api:orders(base64:decode(<<"OaQb/xyYNbqrT4p/P8i7wfvo7zWo7GkCUBFfI8RuRNE=">>)).

03:46
Zack
03:47
the one with the account id that is all zeros, and a bet amount that is bigger than the market cap. That one isn't a bet. it is holding some meta data about the oracle.
03:47
I stored this meta data with the orders tree instead of as a part of the oracle, and I have regretted this decision many times.

Z
03:55

unmatched orders are stored in order trees, who's roots are stored with the oracle.
matched orders are called "oracle_bets", they are stored in oracle_bet trees, and these tree have their roots stored with the account that made the bet.

There is a test in amoveo where it builds blocks completely filled wih txs as fast as it can.
Sending Veo to a new address with each tx.

I had it run for like 10k blocks, 600 tx per block.
Each block took less than a second.

So computation probably won't be the bottleneck of tx processing speed.

Almost all derivatives contracts are illegal.

I am thinking of building something on Amoveo but unfortunatly I have 0 coding skills. Because of that my understanding of amoveo is also limited although I have followed it close for a while. I have also limited understanding of markets and trading. My idea is to look for a local programmer and hire it to try to understand amoveo together. I ssume depending on the thing I want to build the skills needed will vary, however, my first step is to understand the architecture and look at ways to interact with the protocol. What should be in your opinion the programming skills of the person to look for? are markets, trading and related background a must? Thank you all for the feedback

If you don't have programming skills, why get involved in a programming project?

There are plenty of ways to profit from Amoveo without programming.

You could host a stable coin Euro market.
T

Topab
Programming is something I always wanted to learn but realized of this a little late and I think getting to understand amoveo from a programming/architectural view kind of will satisfy my curiosity as non programmer but with interest in it. I like amoveo as a concept, the community, profit potential,... all in general so besides buying and mining veo I also feel like contributing in a different way and I thought this could be building an app or similar on it. I see potential in profiting for building on it too

A person can learn erlang well enough to read within a week. Here is a free book https://learnyousomeerlang.com/content

It is one of the smallest and simplest programming languages.

People who can read erlang tend to be expensive, because it is a rare skill.

So I guess you could hire a programmer and pay him to read this book for a week.

I would recommend instead to read the first few chapters yourself, and then reflect again on what your goals are.

I was thinking that we could use mimble wimble, but without the privacy parts. So each tx will both include the quantity of veo being spent, and the elliptic-curve-encoded version of that same quantity.

What is nice about mimble wimble is that we can prune a lot of data from our history, so it is faster to sync, and that txs are a lot smaller, because we don't have to store signatures or addresses.

Even without hiding quantities, mimble wimble is still increasing privacy by merging all the txs into one. Your privacy is exposed when the 0th confirmation tx is sitting in a mempool, but as soon as it is in a block, then there is no record in the full nodes of which input matches which output. The miner is the only person who you have to expose the tx to.
People have payed for mixing services that are worse than this.

The complicated parts of mimble wimble are the range proofs, these parts are still in research and might change. They are the parts that would make mimble wimble expensive. It seems to me that 90% of the effort in building something like Grin is in the range proofs.
We don't need to use those parts of mimble wimble.

By just focusing on the beautiful and understood parts of Mimble Wimble, I think we can extract a lot of value and not waste much time.

Another benefit of mimble wimble's strategy is that light node operation is far simpler than light node operation in Amoveo. The user never has to deal with fraud proofs or game theory, and the light node is as secure as a full node.

atomic swap to an anonymity blockchain, and then swap back.

then you'll have a lot of chances to fuck up and taint addresses
23:30
or a wallet dev will fuck up

Amoveo isn't going to solve every problem.
This project is for scalable derivatives.

bullet proof research is intense. You can figure it out and write the code if you want.

it's like zcash operates, and in practice no one uses z-addresses
23:33
ppl are lazy
23:34
Monero system with mandated anonymity prevails

(well we'll see how it goes after Sapling in zcash)

if you donโ€™t want privacy not using it is ok right. the point is you can opt-in and be protected if you want

mimble wimble is a beautiful solution for making light nodes more secure and user friendly, it is a beautiful solution for scalability.
I am so disappointed that people only talk about it in the context of privacy.

I don't think Veo has a scalability problem though, does it?
23:35
Even with 100x adoption from now?
23:36
even XMR doesn't have scalability problems yet
