If compared to blockchain technology, MoV is used to enforce laws, to go from one state to…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoNote on projection of politics onto blockchain technologyRe: memes like this one, Blockchain technology is just the natural implementation of a few innovations from the 1970s, half a century ago. It isn't based on politics but on new types of trust…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoProof-of-power (and PoW/PoS) as state without statismMore state, not less state. I have made some posts about exactly that , "bitnation" used the "stateless" concept, I never have, and have now distanced my work from "bitnation" for that reason…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoThe pair-sorting in Pseudonym Pairs complete, scales to a population up to 2^256 peopleThe pair-sorting in Pseudonym Pairs complete, scales to a population up to 2^256 people, each person pays the GAS cost themselves, very low cost, a few cent, around 100000 GAS so that is 0.2…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoPseudonym Pairs and video editing / deepfakesI do not see it as a problem since you would have to video edit to such extent that you pass the turing test. It is a common critique but I think that has mostly to do with that people are not open…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoPseudonym Pairs and RNG, deterministic random number generationfor the dApp on Ethereum (later will be on BitLattice), will probably use this, entropy ^= uint(blockhash(entropy % block.number)); uint randomNumber = entropy % counter; entropy always based…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoPseudonym Pairs and Random Number GenerationThe labyrinth function uses the state as a whole for entropy, and the previous output number as the input. The pair sorting in Pseudonym Pairs is continuous , each new person who sorts…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoOn Pseudonym Pairs and AIThink of Pseudonym Pairs as a singular, global, turing test, every single human on the planet at the exact same time. Once the turing test has been won, by AI, it will no longer work. The notion of…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoPseudonym Pairs, a look at the notion that simultaneous events are impracticalOne example of people doing something at the exact same time (there are countless example as it is quite common), is Super Bowl, around 50% of the USA population watched that, then there is…johan-nygren (63)in proofofpower • 6 years agoThe proof-of-power whitepaper, published under #Bitnation in 2017, now on Ethereum/proofofpower.ethThe proof-of-power whitepaper is now stored in a smart contract, 124 kb (124128 byte), uploaded to Ethereum with 20 transactions at 5400000 GAS each, and linked to with proofofpower.eth using…
