@brett02e @WKCosmo If the 2 large objects orbit the sun in opposite directions, and our spacecraft absorbs all their energy, the massive objects would fall into the sun, and our spacecraft would launch at nearly light speed.

@brett02e @WKCosmo I was wrong, you are right. The orbital speed at the surface of the sun is ~435 km/s. That is 0.1% of c. For earth it is around 0.01% like you said. But, what if we use gravity assist to speed up some massive objects, then bounce our spacecraft between those objects?

A homework problem I give when I teach Classical Mechanics is to calculate the reaction mass necessary to accelerate 1 kilogram to 0.1c, assuming a rocket ten times as efficient as current chemical rockets.

“The universe is too big, intelligent life can’t get to us (without FTL)” is one of those idiotic truisms perpetuated by endless Carl Sagan and Neil Degrasse Tyson specials. This is a common misconception based on ridiculous statements about Voyager. Voyager is traveling absurdly slow. If we were interested in sending a vehicle to Alpha Centauri inside of 1 human lifetime, entirely using nuclear and chemical reactional propulsion, we could. You can get to .2 or .3c with a large enough fission/fusion/rocket, which are entirely known regimes of physics. It would be a monumental engineering undertaking but not unlike the Hoover Dam or Apollo. We just aren’t that motivated. This is if we were compelled to send frail, living humans. If we sent AI the time problem disappears entirely. John Von Neumann figured this out like literally 100 years ago.

@MalkCoin The best money happens when you allow land owners to have leverage using mortgages. The interest paid on the mortgage acts as the basis of the money supply. Taxing land accomplishes the same thing.

The core of blockchain is the money. If the money isn't good, nothing else matters. Being the best dapp platform, or the best sidechain factory, or the best infrastructure, or the fastest transactions doesn't make a difference, if the money isn't good.

@Object_Zero_ @RokoMijic Gravitational binding energy of mercury is 1.8*10^30J. orbital energy is 3.3*10^23 * (48000)^2 = 7.6*10^32J. So, the orbital energy is about 400 times more than needed to disassemble mercury We just need a fancy space elevator, and it disassembles itself for free. no waste heat.

@RokoMijic Not physically possible. You can’t dissipate the heat from the energy required to lift that much mass to orbit. The fastest you can disassemble Mercury is 57,000 years, assuming a surface temperature that is the melting point of tungsten. Which is not practical.

I think you can unironically disassemble Mercury in 1 earth year. No nanotech. Just robots and big planetary infrastructure. The first entity to do this will have an insurmountable lead in everything. It won't quite be a full Dyson swarm, more like 1% of a swarm.

@badcryptobitch People who increase their VO2max are healthier because they are doing exercise, and exercise is healthy. That doesn't mean that people who were born with a higher VO2max are born healthier.

@badcryptobitch The real VO2max difference is between people who come from places where running is useful, like deserts and mountains, vs people who come from places where running is useless, like hot humid jungles full of snakes.

For small blockchains like Amoveo, we don't even need a hard fork to add complexity to the coinbase tx. Instead, the pool can use miner's addresses for the coinbase tx in rotation. Each miner receives rewards in proportion to the amount of work they provide.

As long as the pool operator never makes a transaction to pay the miners, then the pool operator is probably not going to be considered a VASP. The pool is merely sharing digital info, like any other website on the internet.

Thinking about regulatory compliance with mining pools. Many countries now have VASP (virtual asset service provider) laws, and getting a VASP license is much more expensive than a normal company. So, can we make mining pools that are not VASPs?

@GoodWillGamed Yeah you got it. If amoveo forks, maybe just freeze the bets until the trusted committee can figure out what is happening.

A Solana program lets anyone deposit any SPL token and receive YES/NO token pairs for a given question. The question is independently deployed on Amoveo, which resolves it. An on-chain Amoveo light client on Solana is kept in sync by a relayer, and once resolved a proof submitter brings the result over via a Verkle proof. Solana verifies it and settles the market — winners redeem 1:1 for their collateral, losers get zero.

HOW TO ACTUALLY DECENTRALIZE POLYMARKET Polymarket is not decentralized. UMA is not decentralized. They are both committees with admin keys and a decentralization theater. The fix: futarchy. Anyone can submit a binary question by burning the DAO token. Anyone can propose batched resolutions. Futarchy is expected to pick the most accurate proposal. The value of facts the system can reliably resolve scales with market cap. By default, all question tokens automatically generate a resting sell order at 0.999. Specialists fill them permissionlessly, creating instant payouts.

@GoodWillGamed An ethereum contract could keep track of the highest amoveo header. Then you can do amoveo verkle proofs to show the result from the amoveo oracle to the ethereum blockchain. If there is a long enough fork, the committee override chooses a side to follow.

@GoodWillGamed More or less. Amoveos oracle mechanism can potentially cause the blockchain to fork. If ethereum was tracking amoveo, it wouldn't know which side of the fork to follow. So, you need some kind of committee to handle this rare edge case.

@zooko Hi Zooko. Thank you for the cryptography, and for the explanations of technology. Most of the elliptic curve cryptography I wrote in C for the verkle tree was translated from zcash libraries. That is how it ended up being fast.

@GergelyOrosz Why would I want them to not train on my code? Why would you put code on github if you don't want people to learn from it?

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/copil…
