I do not think amoveo could be used for insurances on any type, and in general blockchain, because you always need to trust a third party. Oracles can only be used for facts anybody can know https://www.coindesk.com/state-farm-trials-blockchain-tool-for-streamlining-insurance-claims I do not think this will be a succesful trial
MF
11:05
Mr Flintstone
agreed that oracles are not suitable for the entire universe of questions
11:06
however, this doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t insurance questions that can be known by the general public
11:06
for example, if your employer defaults on public or even private debt, this can be public knowledge
11:07
also, if you want to insure against assessed property value (which is public record), you can use oracles for this as well
11:08
there are lots of ways that we can be clever
T
11:10
Topab
Agree those uses are possible
MF
11:10
Mr Flintstone
many others are possible too, we just need to be somewhat clever in how we go about it
11:11
there are lots of things that oracles aren’t suitable for though for sure
11:18
an EV+ move might be to get a quote from an insurer then become an insurer yourself by undercutting the quote and offering it on amoveo since you as the insurer don’t have any of the costs typically associated with insurers (property, payroll, compliance etc)
11:19
it’s like you are a parasite leeching away the rent from the insurance industry
11:19
obvs this would only apply to certain types of insurance, but it is possible

Escodex is a scam, right?
They advertise as a decentralized exchange, but they support thing like btc-eth, which is impossible because btc has signature manipulation bug.

Someone from their team wanted me to pay to have amoveo listed on their exchange. They are unable to explain how escodex is decentralized.

If this is a centralized exchange pretending to be decentralized, it will be so disappointing.
I guess we can look at all the blockchains that paid to be listed, and know that all those blockchains are run by people who don't know what decentralization is.

It may be a stupid question, how do you actually send this synthetic stable assets? From the white paper "With derivatives, you can build an asset that stays the same value as a Euro. It is a synthetic asset. You can send these synthetic-Euros to your friends, and treat them like Euros"
MF
22:46
Mr Flintstone
I think USD or EUR payments over lightning would be awesome
Z
22:46
Zack
In reply to this message
Currently we only have tools for buying and selling the asset to the market.

Eventually we will build a tool that allows lightning network contracts that follow long paths to be moved to a direct path. This is a simple application of hash locking, similar to a lightning spend.

So if you have a contract A, you could give someone else contract A which creates contract -A for you.
You can cancel out your A with the -A to be left with nothing.

The long path used to flow through you, and they move it to a direct path that doesn't include you. This frees up the Veo in your channels to be used for other contracts.

Save the private key to a file. Reload that same file when you visit the same page.

Keep the private key secret, and do not lose it. You need it to access your Veo.

It seems like the trick is to make lots of hyperlinks that point to amoveo pages, and the words of the link should be a term that is likely to be googled by people who are interested in the kind of technology that Amoveo offers.

So if the link says the words "state channel" or "lightning network" or "oracle", and it pointed to a website like https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo

Then if someone were to google for "lightning network", amoveo would appear higher in the rankings.

also great to have lots of governance variable values too here

one comment I have is that for question oracles the output state is more like “outcome” than it is “prediction” since the oracles themselves don’t predict anything they just report on what happened
Tv
04:52
Tarrence van As
I have it as “outcome” for oracles that have been closed
04:52
But “prediciton” for open oracles
04:53
Those “Awaiting Close” should probably also be “Outcome"
MF
04:53
Mr Flintstone
even oracles that are open don’t predict anything, they just report
04:54
the single price batches in the markets are where the predictions happen
04:54
also seems like something happened w/ dev reward?
Tv
04:55
Tarrence van As
Hmm true although while they are still open the outcome is subject to change and “outcome” sounds like it is finalized to me. Maybe it should be “reported” until it is closed
04:56
Good catch on the dev reward, I think it’s a percentage not veo units

minimum oracle time is a number of blocks, not a number of seconds

maximum as well.
05:01
https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo/blob/master/apps/amoveo_core/src/consensus/chain/block.erl#L201
Here you can see how the developer reward is calculated.
It is like ((dev reward gov variable) / 10000) * (block reward).
Tv
05:01
Tarrence van As
Is the correct value for dev reward “19.99%"?
Z
05:02
Zack
currently yes, that is correct
05:02
20% makes 1/6th of the total reward

Wouldn't futarchy on supply governance variables turn into something similar to Basis?
Basic logic:
- if price below target: then reduce supply
- if price above target: then increase supply
One can target something like 10% per year (until it reaches some significant fraction of the world m1 supply)
12:33
If something is able to grow stable at like 10% per year ( and actually delivers on such goal) it would easily capture billions of value
12:38
Also technical thing: IHMO it would be best to target lowest possible price volatility as if veo would be volatile then to hedge using veo one would need to hedge usd-veo as well

What if we had a survivor type video show, and we used futarchy to make the decision of who gets eliminated?

We would have the futarchy oracle optimize the decision so we maximize revenue or viewers for the show.
That would make it more fair, which I think would make these competitions more interesting.
It isn't some random biased judge making the decision, or some studio executive who could be bribed. The winner is objectively the most entertaining, according to the invisible hand of the market.
08:54
I wonder what the legal consequences would be for participating in a futarchy market to voice your opinions for a TV show.
You are betting on how many viewers they will get, is that regulated in any way?

It's funny since actual implementation of "Watcher or Player" game from this movie is possible with VEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX1BTiHzq-I
08:58
Literally watchers paying to force players into doing more and more dangerous stints to kill them and reward winners handsomely
Z
09:03
Zack
the motive for profit isn't the reason that clickbate exists.
Profit motive drives the creation of all products.
I think clickbate has more to do with limitations of our current browser interfaces. Each web page is so big, and the tools for partially loading them are not so good. This is especially true if you have slow internet.

Anyway, using futarchy to run movies isn't completely new. There is already the Hollywood stock exchange, which helps people make financial decisions for movies.
Using Amoveo futarchy to make even more decisions is a natural technological progression for the movie industry.
09:07
Watcher or Player wouldn't work so well for Amoveo.
What would you even ask the oracle?
What evidence would people use to report in the oracle?
Some random video of strangers is not useful evidence to any participant in the oracle.
SS
09:10
Spike Spiegel
Somebody is creating the possible things to do for participants, then futarchy is deciding on best idea.

Then person may accept or reject. IF accepted then the system is requesting watchers (yeah random video from strangers as a proof) to validate
09:10
How do decide if something is true or not or babd question if answer is somehow costly to obtain or little subjective?
09:11
Augur already got this problem with "will dems take the senate or something"
Z
09:12
Zack
You cannot use Amoveo for "Watch or Player" type stuff, because that does not create a public good that we all can easily verify the existence of.
Amoveo does not use "watchers to validate". that would not be a secure oracle system.
09:15
https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo/blob/master/docs/design/oracle.md
You can read about Amoveo's oracle design here.
Amoveo's oracle is optimized to be accurate, and to be low cost.
While optimizing for accuracy and cost, we had to sacrifice other things. Amoveo can only be used to ask about information that is easy for anyone to verify at any point in time into the future.
SS

Can you validate if bridge was build?
09:15
If its in different country or so?
Z
09:16

not always.
For big cities, it should be doable.
09:19
The city could try to trick us all. Everyone could post fake pictures of construction, edit the bridge into the skyline on all their photos, etc.
The news could all publish fake reports of the bridge, they could even bribe google to add the road to their maps.

And then you would probably be able to trick Amoveo into thinking that the bridge was built.

It would be tough to pull off. The people of the city wouldn't want to help you get paid for not building a bridge.
The people of the city are the ones who would be contributing to the bridge, since they would benefit from it.

And I think people are concerned for the legal liability of running a market of derivatives
SS
09:26
Spike Spiegel
Assuming it would be profitable enough there would be willing people to do it, but it won't be profitable unless there would be large demand - but how to create demand for CFD products? IHMO good solution would be creating some kind of incentive scheme: offer some money for people to use markets / bets that would be subsidised by another market that's predicting price increase from increased popularity
09:27
Re: Talk is cheap - I own significantly large part of my net worth in amoveo, but I'm not technical enough to do most of those things by myself
Z
09:27
Zack
There is already plenty of demand for Veo risk. People pushed the price to 7 million. Surely they are also interested in having leveraged risk.
MF
09:27
Mr Flintstone
someone has to want to go short veo using veo. I’m sure there are ppl wanting to go long
Z
09:27
Zack
We know there is demand for stablecoin too, they exist.
We don't need to have any incentive scheme.
MF
09:29
Mr Flintstone
A problem with shorting veo using veo is that as it goes down the veo you win is worth less
SS
09:30
Spike Spiegel
My point is that why even bother with doing anything else than mostly governance over supply ( if most people just want long veo and nothing else then why create features for stuff with no users?
MF
09:30
Mr Flintstone
well, people want to bet on stuff like the s&p 500 too
09:31
and the only way to do that without veo price risk is to simultaneously short veousd
Z

it has a flat value for as wide of margins in the price of Veo as you need.
An idealized stablecoin that can be optimized for your needs.

Yes I would like to - but due to low liquidity existing ad alternatives would be always better

One size fits all monoculture contracts like that are no good.
Each stablecoin user has different needs. They should each optimize their margins differently.
09:41
One size fits all monoculture eventually die, and when they do the entire network goes down
SS
09:41
Spike Spiegel
But it's composed of multiple CDP with different risk profiles
09:43
2038 CDP is different beast then 2234
liquidation prices:
77 USD per ETH For 2038
45 USD per ETH for 2234
Z
09:43
Zack
This is a single contract so that all the stablecoin it makes are fungible. That is what I mean by monoculture. It dies for everyone simultaneous.
SS
09:43
Spike Spiegel
In which case?
09:43
Black swan event?
Z
09:44
Zack
Another problem with on chain contracts is that they aren't very scalable.
Amoveo puts stable coins inside the lightning network, and the exchange is in the lightning network as well.
SS
09:45
Spike Spiegel
There is currently no problem with on-chain scaling apparently as the main problem is decreased buying side
Z
09:45
Zack
In reply to this message
In the example veo:usd stablecoin. If the margin is 2x, and Veo loses more than 2x it's value during the lifetime of the contract, then you hit the margin. The contract can't protect you from any more risk because there is no money left in it.
09:46
Each user of stablecoin has different needs. They should each have different margins.
SS
09:46
Spike Spiegel
How come this design is less risky than DAI design where exist feedback loop to increase margin?
09:47
No stablecoin can protect from long tail risk - for every stablecoin backed by another asset there exist price depreciation that kills it
Z
09:47
Zack
Imagine if every customer had to buy the same amount of gas at a gas station.
That would be wasteful. Some would have too much, others not enough.

Forcing everyone to have the same margins is wasteful for the same reason.
09:47
Different people have different needs.
SS
09:47
Spike Spiegel
But it's not the same - different CDP have different liquidation prices
Z

People invent new words when they are scamming you.
Amoveo uses the same words for finance as have been used for decades.
09:51
Oh, they are saying cpd to mean leveraged trading.
Maybe they call it that for legal reasons.
So it isn't classified like a derivative.
Z
09:53
Zack
Another problem with maker dao is that it is using subcurrencies instead of derivatives everywhere.

Breaking the value on a chain into subcurrencies makes the interest rate worse, so it costs more to hold tokens. And it makes volatility worse.

Also, subcurrency is not compatible with lightning.
SS
09:54
Spike Spiegel
Interest rate? it doesn't cost you anything to hold tokens ( DAI )
Z
09:56
Zack
If the market cap of a random altcoin is $100,000, how much would I have to pay you so you would hold $100 of that altcoin for 1 month?
09:57
(It has to be a number between $100 and $0)
SS
09:59
Spike Spiegel
Well - assuming there exist liquid market for options I may buy put option for $100 so it should be high enough to pay for option premium so I'm getting more than $1 fully hedged
10:00
So put option premium + my hurdle rate

If you criticising something try attacking strongest argument, not the easiest to attack. But my main point is how we can create better system with VEO
Z
10:27
Zack
So, to recap, maker dao has problems:
* only altcoins markets, no interesting markets like futarchy or dominant assurance or prediction or lie detector.
* no lightning exchanges, so it cannot scale.
* no lightning payments, so it cannot scale.
* possibly no secure oracle for the stable coin? Maybe they use that one good oracle gnosis made.
* stable coins are fungible, so they are sharing margins so will all fail together.
* stable coins are fungible so they share margins so users cannot customize for their needs.

Z

it is technically possible to put erc into lightning, but that will basically never be useful.
10:30
When we made a derivative in amoveo, that derivative is on the same channel as Veo. It follows the same paths in lightning. Veo can turn into the derivative, and the derivative can turn back to Veo.

If we used altcoins like Erc20s, then each channel would have a finite amount of each kind of currency, and you cannot transform one into another.
10:33
So if I had a channel with lots of A and B in it, but no C, it would be impossible for me to receive Erc20 C in that channel.

So only question is how long and what's needed to create "wallet" where one can easily exchange veo into synthetic stablecoin and send this stablecoin for low cost to other people
10:33
Since it's technically possible
Z
10:33
Zack
It's better to sell the stablecoin, send Veo, and let them buy whatever they want on their end.
We already have a great wallet for this.
It worked on March 2 2018 when we launched.

If they are using a multisig for an Oracle, then either they are over-paying the Oracle, and it is secure, but far more expensive than amoveo. Or they are under-paying the Oracle and the Nash equilibrium is theft.
MF
10:42
Mr Flintstone
even in event of a high fees you are vulnerable to retirement attack
Z
10:42
Zack
Yes, assuming no one will buy your private key at a decent price
10:42
I bet they have a way of selling their privilege
MF
10:43
Mr Flintstone
I wonder if u could sell it in zero knowledge
Z
10:43
Zack
You would have to have never known the private key, which seems impossible
MF
10:43
Mr Flintstone
probs not unless there was something in the actual contract that could take them
Z
10:43
Zack
They can just upgrade the smart contract to use a new pubkey
10:44
If it's a small list of oracle members, they can email each other and come to agreement easily
MF
10:44
Mr Flintstone
I want to say it’s like 20+ keys
Z
10:44
Zack
I wonder how many I need to buy to make the oracle lie
MF
10:44
Mr Flintstone
not much more tho
Z
10:44
Zack
14 or so
MF
10:45
Mr Flintstone
there is only so much damage you can do before you get voted out I think (5% max change per round iirc)
10:45
so you need to bribe MKR holders too
Z
10:45
Zack
So I need max voting power, then I can push everyone else out
MF
10:45
Mr Flintstone
idk how current those MKR facts are
Z
10:45
Zack
Oh, holders are voters. So it is like delegated pos
MF
10:46
Mr Flintstone
yeah something like that. Though there is another kill switch with a different multisig in control
Z
10:46
Zack
Then it is vulnerable to advertisement campaigns. Like a political election.
MF
10:46
Mr Flintstone
the other multisig has fixed participants
Z
10:46
Zack
Voting in small groups and voting in big groups are both insecure.
MF
10:47
Mr Flintstone
yeah
Z
10:47
Zack
And stacking them in layers is insecure
MF
10:47
Mr Flintstone
not saying it is a secure system
10:47
but they are managing to kick the attack can down the proverbial road in obfuscation
Z
10:54

They probably _want_ it to be attacked.
The same people who built this are the ones on these voting lists are the ones who would be getting bribed tons of money to make it break.

Assuming their goal is to increase MKR token value...
MF

Z
10:56

That is called a honey pot, right?
SS

If information about is is available and people are still buying MKR and DAI tokens then they deserve bad outcome?

Many things are designed to work for limited time creating massive wealth for founders, then IPO on stock exchange and exit - Groupon / Snapchat etc
MF

I bet the market would say that the 1 yr probability of dai being < 1 usd is low so it is still rational for people to use it. insecure systems can work for a long time
SS

It's difference between saying system X will break because it cannot work, and saying that system X will work for some time until it will break not gracefully - Long-Term Capital Management

Either the Oracle fee is too high, in which case it will not break, but it will be far more expensive than amoveo.
or the Oracle fee is too low, in which case it will break fairly quickly.
MF

Mr Flintstone
it has run for a year so far
11:03
with a lot of money at stake
Z
11:03
Zack
So the Oracle fee is too high. How high is it?
I bet most of the fee is moving in ways we can't measure. Like a salary in fiat.
MF
11:04
Mr Flintstone
I don’t think there is a fee
11:04
it is people supplying the price out of the goodness of their hearts
11:04
maybe a small one idk but it isn’t high
Z
11:04
Zack
The Oracle must be paid somehow, or they would have already lied and robbed it.

I guess they could be building up for a bigger payoff in the future.
MF
11:05
Mr Flintstone
I’ll sell dai < 90 cents insurance on amoveo if anyone is interested, monthly rolling
Z
11:05
Zack
They might have jobs paid in fiat, and participating in the Oracle is part of their job
MF
11:07
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
you can also try to hit me offline and steal my money since I’ll need to put up a lot
SS
11:14
Spike Spiegel
How much % per year for that?
MF
11:14
Mr Flintstone
depends on the odds
11:15
I’d pay 20:1 annualized
SS
11:27
Spike Spiegel
So here is the answer:
- people want something like DAI (lowest risk possible synthetic dollar) but they don't want to pay ~10% per year insurance
- somebody will always bear the risk of DAI collapse - either me or Mr Flintsone.

But MKR is giving this risk for people that don't know better while they extract 2.5% per year governance fee
11:28
It's like people like to say they like security and stability but they won't pay for it as they hope that somebody will bail them out ( MKR holders or a16z etc.. )

Z

I disagree.
The ability for non-programmers to be able to operate amoveo full nodes and channel nodes is not essential to the success of amoveo.

Is a non-programmer able to run an ethereum full node, and operate a server secured with custom smart contracts?

Is a non-programmer able to run a bitcoin lightning hub?

It isn't reasonable to hold amoveo to a higher standard than bitcoin and ethereum, especially when the arbitrary standard you made up doesn't correlate with Amoveo's goals.

Every financial derivative has margins.
if the price exceeds the margin, then you are no longer protected from risk by holding the stablecoin asset.

Amoveo's advantage is that we allow customization of the contracts, you can do any margin you are willing to pay for.
This way users only buy as much risk protection as they need, and this saves them money.

687 blocks from now, 130 blocks per day.

Hopefully Germany and USA will be in daytime during the update.
I guess we should do it like 8 hours later than that, so it will be morning in USA and afternoon in Germany.

8/24 * 130 is about 43.

In reply to this message
channels are bad for use cases like lotteries.
If every person needs to be able to win much more than they can lose, then channels are not a good design.

Amoveo is for financial derivatives. The vast majority of popular financial derivative contracts only have 2 sides of the contract that you can participate in.
Channels are an ideal platform for these kinds of derivatives where there are only 2 ways you can participate.

My understanding is that a hub has to match every bet using their own collateral. The white paper mentioned that it is possible to free up the hubs collateral by directly matching the bettors using hash time locks
12:53
Seems that part is critical to avoid the issue in that tweet?
Z
12:53
Zack
im not sure what a "hash time lock" is.
Amoveo uses hashlocking to make lightning payments, the same way lightning payments work for bitcoin.
We could also use hashlocking to move a smart contract from one path to a different path, usually we would want to move it to a shorter path.
12:54
a channel hub that is running a market would be making bets in single price batches with the customers. it makes opposite bets with different customers, that way the hub doesn't have any risk.
12:55
We will soon allow users to make OTC bets directly with each other, without having to involve a market at all.

This problem becomes less and less as more ethereum dual miners become available.

It is like how you can buy lard so cheap in the American southwest.
There is a huge pork industry, and most people don't want to eat the fat, so lard is a byproduct.
As the pork industry grows, it actually drives the price of lard lower.

Similarly, if there are ethereum dual miners, and the ethereum market is much bigger than the altcoin market, then Veo becomes a byproduct of producing Eth. This means that the bigger the Eth market is, it drives the price of VEO lower.

If you have low power costs, fpga does not offer a substantially better deal than gpus for mining veo. Add resale value of fpga as a negative factor + low flexibility of mining other algos. This fpga is not wow.

its a minus for every veo miner, a plus for every eth miner if they can handle the added watt and heat

the 1 GH you loose on veo with a 1080ti is worth more than the 11 MH you get on ETH
Z

I guess if dual miners become an issue, we would have to switch to a memory hard pow

I expect that computation hard algorithms will be preferable once we get to the asic stage, so hopefully we won't have to switch.

The worry is that if memory pow is too valuable, then computation pow might become an economic byproduct.
The same way lard is a byproduct of the pork industry.

If pork gets more popular, it drives the price of lard lower.

I have a plan on what we can do if dual mining becomes a problem.

We can have 2 mining algorithms, one for memory and one for computation. We can have a governance variable to choose the ratio of how much rewards are paid for each kind of work.
That way once asic is available, we can switch to 100% computation.
