is it possible to hedge out the risk of staking coins with amoveo? Zack
11:36

let me rephrase
11:40
Seems the space is moving pretty heavily towards the "Staking Economy" with coins like cosmos, polkadot, livepeer, eth going POS, etc. I assume some investors will want to hedge out the risk in owning these tokens so they can only claim their dividends and not be too worried of whether price will go down or up
11:40
i assume something like this can be done with veo?
11:41
in reference to the staking rconomy talking about companies like this https://staked.us.. seems institutional investors are really pushing this narrative for the future

In reply to this message
A1.exchange and qtrade.io are the only 2 exchanges that I list on the github
20:30
I think the exan tech guys paid to have amoveo listed on a bunch of exchanges, so now they have a sunk cost fallacy, where they feel the need to list exchanges on their website, even if those exchanges aren't good for the users to use.
DV

Denis Voskvitsov
we have no obligations to exchanges. it's just a list with every exchange supporting amoveo.
since Graviex have issues with it, we'll hide them from the list.
20:34
and regarding the case above. account api endpoint (using proofs) returns the state as if that account was created but has 0 balance. it forces wallets to create spend tx instead of create_account.

I pushed a fix to the light node repository. a full node needs ./rebar3 upgrade to fix the light node it serves
DV
21:55
Denis Voskvitsov
so you mean behavior of fullnode is correct in this case?
Z
21:56
Zack
In reply to this message
hard to call one "correct" and the other "incorrect".

They were temporarily incompatible, and now they are compatible again.
DV
21:57
Denis Voskvitsov
fix just on the lightnode means every other developer should fix their apps too: 3rd party wallets, exchange software, etc
Z
21:57
Zack
The old version of the api would crash if you tried to look up something that did not exist, and the light node would interpret the crash as if the data did not exist.
This was a bad way of programming it.

Now there is a normal response for non-existent data, and the light node understands this response.

In reply to this message
https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/light-node-amoveo/commit/a3d30771821240185470d6caddee60cb925274be
This is a very small change.
Most people who use the api probably wont need to change anything.
DV
22:00
Denis Voskvitsov
every app sending txs is affected, since this is the way they determine what type of tx to use
Z
22:01
Zack
what do you mean "every app"?
Exchanges and mining pools all use full nodes
22:01
this only matters for the light node, right?
DV
22:04
Denis Voskvitsov
exchange use their own software working with fullnode

to create a tx they call account endpoint, which returned "empty" for nonexistent account earlier and now returns ok, 0. so that logic should be fixed. it's small fix indeed, but it should be delivered everywhere (think about those using desktop apps or local lightnodes)
Z
22:05
Zack
ok, it sounds like the best solution is to return "empty" instead of 0.
DV
22:05
Denis Voskvitsov
I'd strongly prefer to return old behavior of this endpoint on fullnode if there's no good reason to break it
22:05
In reply to this message
yes, it does
Z
22:11
Zack
ok, it returns the "empty" message again.
22:11
and I confirmed that the light node can make create_account txs.
DV

There is an issue with the new channel_team_close tx type.
our packer library doesn't know about the ctc2 keys used for it.
10:13
We can't fix packer directly, because some nodes would freeze.
So I think we should do this order of events:
1) mining pools should do a soft fork to block ctc2
2) we fix the packer library.
3) we give everyone a week to update dependencies.
4) we schedule a date to simultaneously turn off the soft fork in all the mining pools.

@Simon3456 @potat_o I pushed a soft fork to master branch. This will disable ctc2 tx types. Once all the mining pools confirm that they have updated, then we can move on to the next step of fixing the packer library.

Probabilistic payments would be great for scalability of the lightning network.
We could connect channel hubs together for longer lightning payments. So you could move your money from a channel with one derivatives hub to a channel with a different hub without any on-chain tx. Instantly.

Maybe if you get tired of a hub that is specialized in football, and you want to do political bets.
12:53
It would mean we have the most advanced channel payment network, on top of having the best channel smart contract platform.

I read the rest of Moloch.
This is a voting protocol where people have the option to take their money out if they don't like the result of the vote.
This makes the contract pointless.

If you can voluntarily take your money out after, then it is no different from voluntarily deciding to spend your money the same way that your friends voted to spend theirs.
There is no reason to put your money inside of the contract in the first place. you could just vote with friends, and then decide whether to spend your money or not on what your friends voted for.
20:24
regardless of your ability to take your money out, that doesn't mean moloch's vote will make good decisions.

So it isn't a good protocol for making decisions, or for spending money.
The only aspect with economic significance is that you have to pay 10 eth to join moloch.

all that is needed is capped supply. and I have 2 perspectives on it:

1) you are truly a "product guy" in which case it may help to realize that market cap "creates" the product as it did for many successful coins

2) incentive misalignment (aka greed) in wanting to get more VEOs through dev reward. In this case you should realize that your dev reward will be MAGNITUDES higher if you create the capped supply during this bull market. if you miss this market and it's followed by another quick crash, you've lost a huge stockpile of capital reserves for the next bear market
21:37

it's a pity because i thought he was strategic enough to realize that it's massively optimal (aka can overtake chainlink or aeternity in a matter of weeks) to create a pump (aka announce capped supply) prior to bull run, but it's clear that he's in a world of his own.

without a capped supply good ideas just slowly fade over many years. primecoin used to be the biggest hype of the day like "futarchy" but over 6 years the inflation issue caused it to remain at around amoveo's market cap

probably will have to a bit lower since theres no buyers at this point

and if you're a buyer at this price it's stupid lol, you realize you'll be dumped on by miners for the next few years until zack comes to his senses

With futarchy Amoveo doesn't depend on the senses of any one person.
Anyone can propose changes at any time, and if they are beneficial, they get included.

13) Code is Replicable, Community is Not


One mission of BOMB from the beginning was to hopefully provide a financial case study for other people to learn from and implement into their own tokenomic structure.

We anticipated and expected others to do this. But, what we did not expect is the number of exact copy cats that would arise of the first weeks. At this time on Etherscan, there are more than five other replicas of BOMB that people created.

While we were originally discouraged at others attempting to directly imitate our project, we quickly learned that what made BOMB special was no the code, but the community of people around what we were creating.

You can copy code, but you can’t copy a community.

futarchy *might* work if the initial conditions are such that the distribution is truly fair ( 100% mined with no dev reward) but zack can veto anything
22:16
so futarchy with correct initial conditions may not even work, a fake futarchy with initial conditions that allow for veto definitely do not
MF
22:17
Mr Flintstone
he can’t veto it. if he longs veo on the chain without the update, and the update doesn’t go through he can’t force the market price of veo to go up

1) futarchy / prediction markets are valuable by emperical analysis (aeternity / chainlink). 2) futarchy works because markets work.
3) if zack had a working futarchy, then by emperical analysis it should have already been at least the market cap of the other coins that zack resents
4) because the market says it is not valuable, hence zack DOES NOT have a working futarchy

Regardless of whether the tech works, we can't responsibly achieve price gains until we have product market fit.

Is anyone in a position to be incentivised _not_ to reduce the blocksize? I cant think of any. If that is true, wouldnt the reward keep diminishing over time?
19:00
Block reward i mean
Z
19:02
Zack
The purpose of mining is distribute new coins so the network can grow.
If a protocol gets its value from network effects, then we will be more valuable with a bigger network.
19:02
Too high a block reward is bad for the price, and too low is bad for the price as well.
AK
19:02
A K
the ones who mine could also buy form early adopters
19:02

That doesn't make the network grow, it just changes hands.

A K
it does of course
19:03
if you want to use veo, you can either mine or buy it
k
19:03

What i mean is this looks like a set up where block reward will keep decreasing, because every time this is voted on, it will pass.

If veo is divisible by a lot then how does this work. You dont need to push supply if network effecrs derive from speculation and price rising
AK
19:04
A K
the USD inflow is the same, the network headcount increase is the same, only diff is whether 1) inflation keeps price low or 2) demand pumps the price a bit
Z
19:04
Zack
Eth block reward is millions of dollars per day.
Amoveo's is probably less than $10 thousand.
AK
19:05
A K
yeah and how's that relevant to network growth?
19:05
you mentioned nothing re security
T
19:05
Tromp
I see a lot of people treat cryptoassets like normal currencies, if these currencies are extremly divisible then supply shouldnt be needed to promote network effects i believe
Z
19:05
Zack
Block reward makes security as a side effect. True purpose is to distribute new tokens
AK
19:06
A K
so if it's a side effect let's disregard it in this analysis )
19:06
for me security is the main effect btw
Z
19:06
Zack
In reply to this message
Yes exactly
AK
19:06
A K
but to say that every holder of Veo spends 50% of holdings to grow the network every year
19:06
doesn't make a strong argument for any inflation
19:06
via this logic, every holder indded should bet inflation = 0

In reply to this message
The Oracle is being run without any futarchy, we won't learn anything useful from it.
k
19:09

What i meant by my comment was that block reward will tend towards 0, and we would eventually have the 0 inflation you mention. Unless anyone knows of a group incentivised to increase higher bkock reward.
T
19:09
Tromp
At some point we should care for some security so we as holders would be incentivized to keep the network running
Z
19:10
Zack
In reply to this message
We want the price of Veo to be higher.
To maximize the price of Veo, there is some ideal block reward. The ideal is above zero, because zero fails to take advantage of network effects from growth.
k
19:11
kdmlll
I know that as a group this is true, but would holders be able to coordinate to benefit the coin rather than defect and walk away with money?
19:11
I am imagining a tragedy of the commons situation.
Z
19:12
Zack
We use futarchy to make decisions to optimize the value of a Veo.

I'm not sure what you mean by "defect and walk away".
I can't see how tragedy of the Commons matter for this situation.
T
19:13
Tromp
Is someone pushing a lower reward right now?
k
19:13
kdmlll
Yeah, that is what prompted my thought
AK

there's no tragedy of commons - only Veo holders can affect block reward

Futarchy is working working a lot better now. We used it for hard update 17.

I guess we should block the Oracle from settling until a futarchy market is done.

It is tough because there are less than 24 hours left. I didn't notice the update soon enough.

We can do a futarchy market afterwards to see if we should change it back

Maybe you would be interested in a configuration option to not garbage collect old data from Merkel trees.
Then you could look up the blockchain state at any point in history.

It would take a lot of hard drive space though.
20:55
It would sync even faster, since it is just skipping a step
20:56
I think bitcoin has a mode like this
Z
21:22

I think we should get rid of the existence and delete account tx types. They aren't used.
There could potentially be a bug in their code.
So it has risks, and no benefit.
We should at least turn them off for now, until someone wants them.

i dont think ive heared from other blockchains actually deleting accounts...ever 😅

ethereum talks about rewarding people for deleting data to recover space
21:24
uncompressed, all the merkel proof data for amoveo is like 6 mb.
21:24
the compressed blocks are 185 mb
21:25
At the current time, the benefits of deleting old accounts is practically none.

I think we have never even discussed the proof of existence tx type here.
I think no one ever posted one of these on mainnet.

there is a proof of existance tx? what for?

there are entire blockchain projects where that is the only application

How about a DAC bet around increasing the number of unmatched bets? Could even be narrowed down to a Use Case or two... books or sport bets..? I guess I could just create those bets myself.

There is a willing and enthusiatic community behind waiting to get into action to get Amoveo adoption one step forward, what do you suggest Zack? I am having the feeling all the attempts have been unsuccesful for one reason or another. I believe there are few projects out there with this potential to leverage the community effort
Z
11:32

we can't start focusing on adoption until we have PMF.
Any effort towards adoption at the current time is a wasted effort.
T

Topab
Adoption = PMF, I meant anything that help us towards adoption, PMF, ... They are different ideas towards the same goal
Z
11:35
Zack
for example, I could pay coinmarketcap to advertise amoveo in the banner ads.
If we don't have PMF, this is a waste, because everyone who sees the ad will try out using Amoveo, and realize Amoveo can't be used for anything yet, and then they stop thinking about Amoveo.

We need to make Amoveo have some actual useful purpose first, then we can work on getting users.

the PMF application will probably involve the P2P derivatives interface

Sy and I came up with a plan to make explorers a lot easier to program, so they will show more information. That is what I am working on now.
11:47
it is useful for auditing history.
11:47
I will make an option in the config file so that you can store meta data with each block
11:48
the meta data isn't involved with consensus, so we can change it to store whatever we need.
It is produced when the block is processed, so everything involved in processing the block is available.

I guess my perspective is this: if we had real people using Amoveo for real applications, our learning cycles would be faster. In order to do that, there needs to be some level of sales or marketing or biz dev.

We are learning relatively slowly if it’s just you placing bets

Maybe it’s farmers. I have no idea. But with some product discovery, you can figure it out. Then your learning cycle time decreases a lot

Amazon for example started selling books. I’m sure this was very strategic. If amazon started by selling yo-yo’s, they would have iterated their product a lot slower

in a few more days my stablecoin contracts will settle. currently I have like 3 outstanding.

I think once I can consistently use these contracts without running into errors or having to update things to make it work, then other people will start using it too.

I will feel more comfortable pushing other people to use them once they work consistently for me.

btw. i opend a github issue in regards to the Oracle Documentation.

yeah, I commented.
B
15:45
Ben
without the help of @Simon3456 i would not have been able to close the oracle at all
15:46
that comment does not make sense to me.
15:48
the Documentation does not speak about encoding at all, it just says api:oracle_close(OracleID). will close the oracle. (and it does not)
15:53
so either the Fullnode translate it, or you should update the Documentation.

what bug?
Z
15:57

In reply to this message
it is possible to do an oracle_close to an already closed oracle, which can cause governance variable to update more than once.
the block reward is 0.16 veo now
AK
15:58
A K
omg
Z
15:58
Zack
a hard update to fix this will activate in about a week.
S
15:59
Sy
so...do we vote it up once again or do we wait for the fix so nobody can close spam the upvote and we end up with like 10 veo per block...
AK
15:59
A K
hard update will only prevent future adjustment of gov variables twice? or will also adjust 0.16 upwards to correct a mistake?
B
16:00
Ben
if a hard update would change the Block Value, the GOV Oracle System is uesless
S
16:01
Sy
not useless but i dont think it should be done, we should wait for the fix to activate, diff adjusts quickly now so its not that bad, then upvote it once

the hard update will only prevent this bug in the future, not fix it in the past.

it takes time to update a governance oracle. I think if we wait 2 days first before making the oracle, then the hard update will activate before the oracle finishes.

and just giving MY money away to some folks seems weird at this point of veo lifecycle
16:11
otoh if the price adjusts proportionally to decreased reward, so that USD paid to miners per day remains the same, miners also should be still happy

but usually the price does not adapt to DIFF/Block Reward

if you think that mining is "giving money away", then you are very confused.
16:13
Mining is expensive by both electricity costs, and hardware costs.
AK
16:13

it is 100% giving money away, question is, what do veo holders get in return
Z
16:13
Zack
I guess I should have launched Amoveo with no mining.
A market cap of 0 veo.
AK
16:13
A K
do you care if it's 60 TH/s or 20 TH/s ? at this point of veo lifecycle?
S
16:14
Sy
since the diff adjusts quickly, it doesnt really matter
16:15
unless someone does a 51% attack but there is no market to dump double spends anway, thats a new form of security i guess 😂
AK
16:15
A K
exactly
16:15
so I don't care whether it's 60 or 20
16:15
for now
16:15
so I don't want to overpay for extra hash power securing nothing

we will see how everyone reacts, honestly i think someone would have reduced it a second time anyway within the next month or so
AK
16:16

security through illiquidity $)
16:18
so c.21 VEO/day to miners, assuming historical block time of 11 minutes
16:18
and 3.5 VEO/day to Zack?

16:19

In reply to this message
you are so confused.
Mining is not for security.
The purpose of mining is to distribute tokens.

If we had no mining, there would be 0 veo, and the blockchain would be worthless.
AK

you're not disributing any tokens..
16:20
current F1 miners from China dump them all

It doesn't matter if they dump or hold.
AK
16:21

ok, you can spend your dev reward and pay miners, we can set a negative dev reward per block
16:21
deducting from your acct
16:21
that would do?
16:22
but i suggest forgoing all that fossil burning and capex costs, and just giving your veo away a la airdrops
16:22
much easier
16:22
if that's what you care about - new users
16:26
if you don't care about PoW security, you indeed could've created a predefined amount of VEO like Stellar did, and just give them away as you please
16:26
which is nuts for me, PoW is essential
Z
16:26
Zack
PoW is essential, for distributing tokens.
AK
16:29
A K
I now the article
16:29
security being not the main function != PoW not needed for security, that's 1
16:30
2, distributing new tokens in a more or less fair way is indeed paramount, that's why the way VEO launched is the only way I - as a holder of VEO - accept generally from projects
16:30
3, at some point of lifecycle, priorities switch
16:32
currently PoW in bitcoin doesn't do anything for network growth, IMO
16:32
much less so in 2020 after halvening
Z

the idea of a phase shift is interesting.
Maybe the purpose of mining changes over time.

hi i read somewhere that the veo block reward changed or what?
Z

0.16 veo per block now.
There was a bug so the governance oracle lowered it twice as much as expected.

how come it's not in the github commits?

09:36

the governance system is a part of the oracle system is on the blockchain, not on github.

and that controls the mining reward?

that is exciting news to me, i have some more faith if its a real change

http://139.59.144.76:8080/lookup.html in the governance section, look up "1"
just the integer 1.

the fact that the block reward lowered twice instead of once was an exploit. it is fixed so it can't be done again in the future.

no, this is the intention.
1 veo is far more than the minimum amount required of 0.36 to do a governance oracle.
09:42
Deleted Account
but i dont understand how some rando can just change the mining reward at will
Z
09:42
Zack
the minimum amount is a governance value. we can change it if we later decide that 0.36 is too low or too high
09:43

for example i could just make the mining reward 1,000,000 and then change it with 1 veo
09:43
it seems
Z

well, usually we would have noticed in time, and then the futarchy situation would have escalated.
But since no one noticed, there was no escalation.
09:44

how much time is needed for escalation
Z
09:44

You can only change the variables by 50% per governance oracle, and it takes at least a week. So it can't break that badly
09:44

hm this doesn't create much confidence lol
Z
09:44

50% is a governance value too. we could make that higher or lower with the governance mechanism

how many changes to the block reward were ever done in amoveo history
09:45
and i dont understand the .404 number or whatever
09:45
it seems like its the same block reward forever for now
Z
09:45
Zack
it started at 1 veo per block.
Then we went up once, and down 5 times.
09:46
so it went:
1 veo per block, then 1.5 veo per block, then 1, then 0.66, 0.4, 0.16
09:47
Deleted Account
and how much veo were required on each of these changes
09:48
i thought the veo block reward was at 1 for most of its history, that is interesting
Z
09:48
Zack
I think 1 -> 1.5 and 1.5 -> 1 I used the minimum amount of 0.36 veo each time.
0.66 -> 0.4 had issues with futarchy, people invested over 1000 veo. this is when the burn account was created.
Then for 0.4 -> 0.16 the person used just 1 veo.
09:49
Deleted Account
interesting, who initiated the move from .66 to .4, and what was the amount staked for or against within the 1000 veos?
09:49
im surprised you didn't mention this earlier to me when i was complaining about the block reward 😂
Z
09:50
Zack
over 1000 veo were staked in each direction
09:50
This was a failure. Futarchy was working incorrectly. It is not reflective of the intended function of Amoveo.
09:50
Deleted Account
and did you give a public opinion regarding what should be done? who were the main people driving it
09:50
why it was incorrect, i dont understand
09:51
also what percent of VEOs that you earned have you spent?
Z
09:51
Zack
A futarchy market is supposed to measure which decision would result in a higher price of veo. We had some mistake in our math, so the market was not measuring that, it was measuring something different. It was a bug.
09:52
Deleted Account
ok either way that it was changed is a positive
09:52
i think what percent of VEOs you still hold from your dev share tells the most about the future price of veo

you are BL0SzhkFGFW1kTTdnO8sGnwPEzUvx2U2nyECwWmUJPRhLxbPPK+ep8eYMxlTxVO/wnQS5WmsGIKcrPP7/Fw1WVc= ?
Z
09:54
Zack
I sold 100 veo to Mr Flinstone, it was some of the first veo ever traded when Amoveo was like 1 or 2 months old.
I gave away probably like 10 or 20 veo to various people who had donated their time to the project.
I lost like 10 veo by making bad financial derivatives contracts.
I lost around 10 veo when I messed up with the mining pool and lost my records for how much money I owed different customers, and had to double-pay people.
These numbers aren't exact, they are a rough estimate.
09:54
I have not touched the dev shares
09:55
Besides the dev reward, I made veo from running a mining pool for a while, and for doing escrow.
09:56
Deleted Account
very good to hear, gives me a lot more faith
09:56
im going to start stacking up some more veos again probably
09:57
my hope is that you try not to make suggestions as to block reward and let the community decide on its own
09:57
since your influence would be very big and if block reward goes up again it may be very bearish for veo
09:57
but i believe community will unite to reduce block reward and pump the shit out of veo
