locking is needed to order transactions, mysql already has acid transactions. i use mysql metaphorically to describe a single centralized database protected by single entity that controls all the writes. we already have such payment systems

is there any ongoing work to have utxo set commitments? if not - why?

by keymone 5y ago
yes, in number of transactions. just realize that if bitcoin went unlimited, most of the altcoin activity would be happening on bitcoin chain. blockchain space being limited resource priced out economically un-viable activity into shitcoins

surely you recognize that there is a gap in functionality between liveview and fully fledged frameworks that provide more granular control over ui interactions?

You’ve presented a workaround and a hack tbh, not something natively supported because the workflow doesn’t map to liveview model, which is fine but you have to be honest with yourself and acknowledge when stuff like that happens, otherwise

imagine an SPA for a basic CRUD system. there's a list view and details view with a delete button that returns you to the list. in liveview server renders me the list view, i click details, server renders me details view, i click delet

Sorry, that’s not acknowledging that latency can become an issue, that’s acknowledging that using server-side rendering for things that don’t require a server isn’t the best of ideas (shocker, I know).

by keymone 5y ago
From the tech talks I vaguely recall, LiveView folks seem to disregard latency, which is where the entire model falls apart for me because the moment you need more control on the client over what to do when the server is not responding - yo

EDN is not new. Just not familiar to enough people. It’s incredibly powerful and ticks all the right boxes.

YAML is the worst, kill it with fire. Whether TOML is decent alternative is debatable though, i'd prefer EDN.

Yes. Everything you described relies on central authority. For those who would like to not rely on central authority - cryptocurrencies provide real economic value. It’s trivial to the point where it’s impossible to distinguish you from a t

You’re too dismissive, Linux apps are terrible compared to Mac and it’s a big reason preventing me from switching. That you got used to using crappy software doesn’t mean I want to do the same.

I know a lot about it which is why I trust simple and stable systems like bitcoin. Banks are archaic, ethereum is Wild West with script kiddies “building” the future, bitcoin is just right for me.

Branching and looping are constructs that you can have in non-Turing complete language with some limitations that don’t matter in practice for the purpose of ethereum or bitcoin scripts.

In any non-trivial program you will not know how much gas it requires to complete because that’s what it means - to solve the halting problem. What a great basis for your financial system handling all people’s economic interactions. What ca

Well, you’re misguided. It’s not the language, it’s platform features like kv store attached to blockchain that make these dapps possible to implement. And none of them require Turing completeness.
389.
by keymone 6y ago
No, it really can’t. Unless you mean it in a sense that Minecraft is a Turing complete machine and can compute anything you want it to compute. Good luck computing anything non trivial.

by keymone 6y ago
Turing completeness is an anti feature in financial system like bitcoin. And pretty much zero contracts currently deployed to ethereum require Turing completeness. It’s just a buzzword to sell you this gigantic pre-mine scam.
