well, i have studied the subject pretty close, i think that if it's properly written it can be better
it's a hard job because it really needs to be as simple as possible
i'd love to do something like this though, just to demonstrate it... easy to capture the data, and you can have an app that derives the system's estimations and shows you the error divergence at each block due to the super simple adjustment scheme, and lets you see several alternative methodologies applied... i think it would be a great educational tool and maybe it would lead to an upgrade of this element of bitcoin protocol due to the clear advantage
it really isn't that complicated... current system is like a thermostat that adjusts every 2 weeks... advanced adjustment systems have been long settled in other fields of tech, like the segway/hoverboard things... that is exactly this math applied to motion, and it's extremely stable now, ridiculously stable, hell i remember 14 years ago it was being applied to military jets to improve their maneuverability
i'm currently in discussions about the idea of forking skiff.com's collab and secure email services, and incorporating nostr as a chat system (at least) and the idea of adding git hosting is definitely in my mind
i also have ideas about how to make this something that can be hosted by a large number of independent entities, to make it more resilient, but the funding side of it is really hard in such a case... that's part of the reason why shitcoins exist, btw
funding the git hosting is a hard problem, something that almost nobody in the bitcoin/lightning/nostr space has really considered, i would like to say that it is possible but it requires people to understand micropayments and subscriptions, and then maybe it can be done
i'm up for any discussions about the ideas i just laid out... this is a matter of urgency, we need to solve these problems soon
it is not ok for us to be stuck on github still, or gmail or protonmail or telegram or fucking whatever centralised, cabal owned shit
she is doing it herself, and i agree with her, i hate mozilla, and everyone has forgotten that mozilla is netscape, rebranded
also, note that rust is promoted by mozilla now for a couple of years, so all you hear about rust. yeah. mo fucking zilla
fuck them, fuck them in the arse
sweet. yeah i knew it was possible... i was working with GUI composition a few years back and i was at a point of merely struggling with the pipeline scheduling, but i built a bunch of neat extra widgets that didn't exist in the toolkit that still haven't been pushed into the upstream and i'd do it if i could get synced up with the state of it but they change the api so much my old code needs yuge amounts of changes to adapt to the new api
it would be simple to add video composition to any competent composition pipeline as a post-step, without adding a lot of complexity to the codebase
you got me thinking though... would be quite interesting to create a simple app that just follows the bitcoin chain and demonstrates what a better dificulty adjustment would give you at each block height versus the existing scheme
i have reasonable, not expensive but decent, quality dual driver speakers now, and the difference between mp3/aac audio coding versus flac is really audible to my ears
i'm going to start using youtube as a discovery mechanism but start to accumulate the good stuff on a dedicated storage device
the difference is really acute to my ears, and i did have some three ways a couple years ago, onkyos, with piezo tweeters, mids and a big fat sub... i miss those things... dual is minimal, three way is minimal, IMO for hifi
it's a one-time case i would use C code in my own work, to have a compositor... so i can run my own IM gui code and put video overlays on it
yes, most likely they are using an FFI with some C/C++ compositor, that's a guess but educated based on what i know about graphics rendering systems
i doubt it can recover even two words, i would estimate it can do 2 words in 3 days based on my experience with vanity address generation, and 3 words in a week, maybe closer to two, and 4 words in 3 months, and 6 words in 50 years
not if this is being fed into a higher level compositor
i'm pretty sure you can add a compositing step in the pipeline and overlay them
i know you are wrong because it takes over 3 days on a 12 core processor to just get 5 letters in a vanity generator... and 12 words is equal to 25 Bech32 characters, and i just gave you a reasonable estimate of what it takes to generate a key with only 5 out of 25 characters... this is equal to 2 and a bit words
3 days to get 2 and a bit words, and each subsequent word is going to take about the square of that amount of time again, you'll be surprised that turns out to be more than 100 years
ok, show us then, you replicate it, burden is on the one who makes the claim
this is why i don't have an AI generated avatar
bitch please, barely two of those almost matched up with a golang gopher
what image set are these made from? what human being in tech doesn't know what a golang gopher is?
no, i was talking about a dynamic difficulty adjustment, which uses statistical analysis to derive an estimate of the current difficulty target
also, just to note, deriving the private key of a public key is a lot more computation than an SHA256 hash - there still isn't ASICs to do this afaik, though i think there is probably work being done, since elliptic curve modular arithmetic is becoming more and more important to security
288,230,376,151,711,740
288 quadrillion attempts with a 50% luck factor
that's exa in greek unit notation as in giga peta exa
bitcoin hashrate in the whole world right now, is at 600M terahash so yeah... a million times the current bitcoin hash rate to discover this key is the cost, not gonna happen in less than 100 years
one word is 11 bits of the code, assume it's not the last one, which is useless checksum, you are trying to tell me someone crunched ... what is it... 2^117 options, optimistic average they needed 2^59 attempts... do i really need to show you what that looks like as a decimal number?
