Ah -- brew is definitely not mature on the M1 Macs yet as I understand it. I've been on the fence for a couple of months over this -- I want to grab an M1 Mac for R&D type stuff, but at the same time I want to wait until they relea

You may have an issue with your installation of glew and glfw -- I didn't have to make any changes to the makefile to build the examples.

by jki275 6y ago
It's really nice. I was surprised at how well it works. Downloaded it, ran make inside the example folder, and it built working examples.

by jki275 6y ago
Which is a quite different discussion.

It's old and nobody uses it anymore?

Bitcoin? Sure, you can make any number of additional forks of btc with a different cap -- hell, dogecoin is a fork of bitcoin with no cap at all. But it won't be bitcoin.

It's an interesting hope. I'm not sure that's going to fix anything. Fees don't come from whether it's pow or pos, they come from volume and the need to prioritize transactions.

Probably because it didn't actually happen.

If the miners decided to change, it would change. They control enough of the chain that it wouldn’t matter. Not many people run full nodes.
370.
by jki275 6y ago
And I gave you some input on a specific portion of that. You then proceeded to excoriate me for not addressing everything in every discussion that has ever happened in your mind about bitcoin.
371.
by jki275 6y ago
Yes, that's a huge issue for btc. BTC isn't really a decentralized cryptocurrency anymore. There are others that are.
372.
by jki275 6y ago
I think you are projecting your belief about ETH v3.0 or whatever it is onto a lot of people who don't agree with you. Vitalik et all have been talking about pos for years. Meanwhile a huge portion of the cryptocurrency space went the

All of that may be true. But none of it invalidates my initial statement. You're arguing with a discussion that didn't happen.
374.
by jki275 6y ago
You’re confused. They claim they are going to fork ETH to make a POS fork of it. Now the people claiming this are going to want you to believe that’s the “real” eth- but the miners may not agree. They have no incentive to do so. And yes, t

It’s not POW. No need for massive amounts of processing power. Read IOHK’s Ouroboros paper or Breitman’s Tezos paper.
376.
by jki275 6y ago
But that’s not what I said. I said the amount of CO2 being generated was probably not as high as you might expect from a naive reading of the kWh consumed.
377.
by jki275 6y ago
If you're talking about bitcoin, most btc is mined in China by Bitmain and one other company.
378.
by jki275 6y ago
I don't think that point is accurate. At best, it makes a ton of assumptions that aren't warranted.
379.
by jki275 6y ago
You can argue whatever you want, it's distributing coins to the people who secure the network.
380.
by jki275 6y ago
I think that the bitcoin mining companies that run in China have a pretty good handle on how to get very low cost electricity, and hydro doesn't produce the CO2 emissions you're so concerned about. So what's your point?
381.
by jki275 6y ago
That's not what they said. They said POS can't distribute coins, which is not accurate. ADA and XTZ did pre-mine their initial distribution, and now they distribute coins through stake rewards.
382.
by jki275 6y ago
I bet it's less than a day.
383.
by jki275 6y ago
I suspect there will be a bios fix for this lock about a day after they're released. Unless they put this in hardware somehow, it's not going to be effective. And, they mention the ETH algorithm specifically is what they detect -
384.
by jki275 6y ago
The vast majority of BTC mining is done in facilities that are colocated with hydro dams in China, so the CO2 emission is not what you might expect just hearing the number of KWH being used.
385.
by jki275 6y ago
Proof of stake is a solved problem, has a fixed block reward, has no ASICS or need for them, is no more complicated, is not in anyway subjective, and distributes coins just fine as both ADA and XTZ are doing right now.
386.
by jki275 6y ago
Never. They've been "moving to proof of stake" for something like three years. The miners are making money off of them not moving to proof of stake. The miners stop making money when they move to proof of stake. The only pe

by jki275 6y ago
I think you had to log in and set something up to get it.
388.
by jki275 6y ago
That's proof of stake. Look at Cardano and Tezos.
389.
by jki275 6y ago
It's not been hidden, but it's also not well known outside cryptocurrency circles. That chain generates 2/3s as much every single day as the bitcoin chain will ever generate in its entire existence.
390.
by jki275 6y ago
Sure it is. Chainalysis does it all the time. Satoshi left the scene without ever cashing anything out, and before blockchain analysis really became a thing. He's not relevant to modern bitcoin at all outside of having been a founder
