amiller_good evening17:55
amiller_haven't had a good ramble in here in a while18:01
amiller_bitcoin's intended to have an incentive mechanism that keeps it decentralized18:02
amiller_it partially succeeds on that front, anyone can become a miner technically... there are lots of different nodes miners, but probably not as many as we'd hope18:03
amiller_we could probably do a lot better though18:03
amiller_that last time i thought really hard along these lines was to make nonoutsourceable puzzles, that's kind of about making it harder for miners to collude18:05

katu_amiller_: you can get rid of PoW mining altogether if you do something resembling corewars18:16
katu_needless to say, people would not have much faith in such a system18:16
amiller_i have this image of like, miners trying to stay anonymous and hidden from each other, very paranoid18:16

amiller_yeah18:17
amiller_ideally it could be done in a "smooth" way, where it's not like an all or nothing compromise18:18
amiller_like flag football18:18
amiller_a sort of related idea we've talked about is having a way to take someone's money if they mine on an invalid transaction18:20
amiller_like as a way of discouraging SPV mining18:20
-!- Dragon535 [~dragon@de-2.serverip.co] has joined #bitcoin-wizards18:21
amiller_or to have challenge transactions you have to simulate validating and you have to validate them while mining, as a way of forcing you to have efficient validation hardware along with the mining18:21
amiller_that idea i guess never went anywhere specific18:21
amiller_i guess the way i'm trying to think differently is about making it miner vs miner, rather than miner vs the world, and to make it encourage secrecy/defense and not just adequate provisioning18:22

bsm1175321Mining is the anchor for the coin in the real world.  It can't be replaced with anything having far less cost.  Corewars has zero marginal cost.  (Yeah, kid spent a weekend, what's that worth?)19:24
bsm1175321Effectively, we ARE doing corewars, where the corewars is optimizing SHA256d algorthms.19:24
bsm1175321The problem itself is relatively boring.  Brute-forcing a hash function does not have any worth to anyone, but it does have a *cost* and that is what gives a crypto-currency its value.19:25

bsm1175321amiller_: Honestly I've been thinking lately about a variant of Honey Badger that takes PoW hashes as writes, but separates the consensus piece from the economic (PoW) piece.19:30
bsm1175321Despite Satoshi, it's NOT necessary to combine the two.19:30
r0achbsm1175321: that's exactly what I was thinking the other day19:32
bsm1175321More words on this topic: https://blog.sldx.com/whats-wrong-with-proof-of-stake-77d4f370be1519:32
r0achI wrote out a general overview of doing that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1550027.msg15579647#msg1557964719:32
r0achbasically you put DPOS on top of PoW and the DPOS system inherits the pow consensus19:32

bsm1175321aaaaaahhhh r0ach.  Sybil.19:34
bsm1175321You create a new calculus: how much does it cost to run a node (for the bonding time), and how much do I gain from having a node alive as long as (bonding time).19:35
r0achBitcoin has no sybil prevention19:35
bsm1175321PoW **IS** Sybil prevention!!!!19:36

-!- Emcy_ [~MC@unaffiliated/mc1984] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]19:36
r0achI'd say no.  Everyone delegates their votes to the pool owners and nobody knows who the pool owners are or if one guy owns all the pools.  Therefore I say Bitcoin has no sybil prevention.19:36
-!- Emcy_ [~MC@unaffiliated/mc1984] has joined #bitcoin-wizards19:36
bsm1175321Eh, you have a different definition of Sybil than I do, it seems.  Sybil = Number of participating nodes.19:37

r0achSome people claim what I'm saying is pools colluding, but it's just a sybil attack19:37
bsm1175321Pools are not identifiable by the Bitcoin network, as a rule.  We are only able to identify them at their pleasure and with their consent.19:38
-!- Emcy [~MC@unaffiliated/mc1984] has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]19:39
r0achI was eating while I wrote out all that stuff, but I'm pretty sure it does not even alter the current Bitcoin consensus in a fundamental way19:43
r0achif Bitcoin NG can claim it doesn't, I think it would be the same for that19:43
bsm1175321It very much does alter Bitcoin consensus in a very fundamental way.  Bitcoin-NG does too.19:43
bsm1175321Bitcoin does not identify nodes or miners.  Any scheme which identifies them is a deep and fundamental change.19:44
bsm1175321Bitcoin-NG is a traditional leader-based system.  The leader is identified.19:44
bsm1175321If I know who the leader is, I can DDoS him off the network.19:44
bsm1175321Bitcoin has resisted DDoS attacks many, many times, precisely because the loss of any participant (miner) is not a loss to the continuation of the network.19:45
r0achI don't think this is a valid negative.  In my example, it's still an open loop system like PoW, it just has a fixed number of pools that can operate at once instead of unbounded.19:46
bsm1175321Define "fixed number of pools" and how you determine that is the case?19:47
r0achyour criticism kind of pretends that some new mystery miner will swoop out of the sky to replace DDOS'd miners19:47
r0achbut anyone who mines Bitcoins is already doing so all the time anyway...19:48

amiller_other people have it too and i haven't thought carefully about why i disagree19:50
amiller_i think having a cost gives it a certain kind of security19:50
amiller_but i think the direction is backwards19:51
bsm1175321It absolutely gives it a certain kind of security.19:51
amiller_we should think of mining power as defense spending19:51
-!- Noldorin [~noldorin@unaffiliated/noldorin] has quit [Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]19:51
amiller_countries measure their defense spending in terms of % of GDP19:51
r0achanyway, most people seem to think Bitcoin will always have a smallish number of pools, so the surface attack area is very high and very easy to identify.  In my example, you could easily have 1001 block validators, so it's hard to accept the claim my example would be easier to attack.19:52
bsm1175321The two are one and the same.  There's exactly one and only one direct linkage to economic expenditure.  It's the PoW (mining) hash.19:52
maakuamiller_: it's called the labor theory of value, and it has thoroughly been discredited over and over again19:52
maaku(see communism most noticably)19:52
amiller_you can't add more hahspower and make the currency more vlulable19:52
amiller_you clearly can't add more hahspower (as a unilateral effort) and make the currency more vlulable19:53
bsm1175321r0ach, my computer can very, very easily keep track of 1001 IPs.  My DDoS network can attack them all the same.  Your only recourse is to make more nodes.  It's sybil vs. sybil.19:53
r0achamiller_: of course you can, I've done it in Altcoins19:53
r0achI've rented out like 80% of the hash power19:53
amiller_oops wow i forgot that irc doesn't have "up-arrow then edit your crappy last line"19:53
r0achof altcoins and it definitely increased the price19:53
amiller_i've been using slack gitter and skype chat too much19:53
maakuof historical interest, that's where the cypherpunks went wrong in the90's. if you look at those discussions after hascash was invented, they constantly got hung up on attaching value to coins based on the strength of the hashcash which minted them19:53
amiller_r0ach, that's interesing19:54
amiller_hm19:54
bsm1175321amiller_: You absolutely CAN add hashpower to make a crypto-currency *cost* more.  Value is a very subjective term.  But we're talking markets here.  I don't give a flying fuck about PoW hashes.  No one does.  But they have a cost.  That is their anchor.19:54
amiller_it's not an "anchor" in any meaningful way19:55
maakur0ach: that's just demonstrating price elasticity19:55
amiller_what do you mean by anchor19:55
r0achyea19:55
bsm1175321A PoW hash was zero, on its own, to begin with.  A better PoW is also valued at zero.  But it has COST.19:55
bsm1175321Someone spent something and will be unwilling to sell unless the buyer pays near or above his cost.19:56
bsm1175321It's a floor, not a value.19:56
r0achmaaku:  I didn't like bob's example for PoW's purpose being to create a price floor, so I wasn't using his example.  The purpose of PoW is to create a decentralized exchange.  A price floor is secondary.19:56
maakur0ach: it doesn't create an actual floor.. but it does change the supply side of the curve19:56
bsm1175321An economic "floor" is an artificial construct.  They don't exist in the real world (except zero).  But maaku has it right...I'm talking about the dynamics of the supply side, not how the buy side "values" it.19:58
r0achbob, seriously, if you think you can dos out 1001 pools to death, why can't you do the same to the even smaller number of Bitcoin pools that exist now?19:58
amiller_bsm1175321, every time the price of a fungible thing goes down, someone is selling it for less than they bought19:58
amiller_bsm1175321, so no i don't think it serves as an anchor that way19:59
maakuyou throw hashpower at a coin & dilute away the miners that were willing to accept less, adding yourself who presumably demands more. that changes the price19:59
r0achor just walk up to the physical building19:59
r0achand throw rocks at them19:59
r0achuntil they stop mining19:59
amiller_miners sell the reward they get at whatever the price is at the time19:59
tromp_vastly increasing hash power can make difficulty shoot up and then take a very long time to come down when hash power reverts. resulting lack of supply could raise price?!19:59
r0achthere are so few it wouldn't take long19:59
bsm1175321r0ach: So you assume you can out-sybil the sybil attacker.  What resource allows you to ensure you're the winner?19:59
r0achbob, I'm looking at it from the angle of improving Bitcoin from the state it is now and not building the perfect system20:00
bsm1175321amiller_: It's not a solid anchor in terms of an absolute price (no market value is)20:00
bsm1175321r0ach: Satoshi presented us with something very interesting.  Economic COST instead of "node count" -- as CS people have been using for decades (a la PAXOS/Raft).  It's a very deep and fundamental difference, and the difference is fundamentally political.  In order to implement PAXOS/Raft you have to "know who the nodes are" -- and that's political, not technical.20:01
bsm1175321Political solutions to technical problems -- fail.20:02
r0achyea, I was pushing the cost to attack angle as being the only reason confirmations have any value the other day, saying that 1 conf is useless and the only reason more than one is useful is because cost to attack forever is high so it eventually reaches some type of objective consensus20:03
r0achBUT20:03
r0achI still don't see how my example fundamentally even changes Bitcoin consensus20:03
bsm1175321Bitcoin has no idea who produced a block.  There's no identification of the producer in the past or future with respect to things he has or will produce.  That's a very, very deep difference.20:04
bsm1175321tromp_: my statements are independent of Bitcoin's particular difficulty algorithm (which is flawed in many ways -- but that's another topic).  Why does anyone pay anything for it?20:06
tromp_some ppl pay for btc to transact; some to speculate. noone pays to make miners whole:(20:07

r0achminers are just gamblers buying futures  contracts20:08
r0achthat's why I'm hesitant if it will work in the long term20:08
r0achif the reward of the block converges to cost of production20:09
bsm1175321No one pays "to transact".  They buy an asset because it's worth something on one end, and worth something on the other.20:09
r0achthen there's not a lot of incentive to become a miner over just buying coins20:09
r0achsince the coins are a more liquid asset than the mining equipment20:09
bsm1175321I have an SQL database that will do millions of txns per second.  It's been possible for decades.  No one pays $600 for a row.20:09
tromp_btc allows forms of transacting not or poorly supported by fiat20:10
bsm1175321r0ach: I'm totally in agreement.  Once the value of BTC falls below the cost of production, miners will leave.20:10
bsm1175321tromp_: It's very clear BTC has superior transaction capability.  But the value of signing an elliptic curve doodad is zero.  Signing is not where the value comes from.20:12
tromp_the changes in value come from increases in demand which can come from ppl realizing its capabilities20:15
tromp_as well as from ppl deciding to speculate20:15
bsm1175321There is both supply and demand.  I'm making a supply-side argument.  You're correct on the demand side.  The two meet in the middle, as with any asset.20:16
tromp_the actual current value can be seen as a historical accident20:16
amiller_bsm117532, people pay for $600 of entries in databases all the time20:16
amiller_in-app payments etc20:17
bsm1175321If there was zero cost on the supply side, it would be worth zero.  (as SQL database rows)  If there was zero demand, it would also be worth zero, regardless of its production cost.20:17
r0achbob, that was kind of off my point.  My point was reward per block converges to cost of production, and that miners are just speculators buying futures contracts, so people who don't mine and just buy coins have an advantage in speculation over miners if miners were to sell at cost of production.20:17
r0achThis means the only way for miners to profit is likely to form cartels like OPEC20:17
r0achOR20:17
bsm1175321amiller_: I envy the business model of companies who sell imaginary in-game widgets for $600.20:17

bsm1175321r0ach: That's a very reasonable way of looking at it.20:18
bsm1175321Dunno where to take this conversation though...20:18
amiller_no one brought up altcoins, this is all in the realm of theoretical cryptocurrency20:19
bsm1175321It's admittedly not wizardly.  But, I do think even the wizards have been confused about why any coin has a non-zero value.20:19
bsm1175321r0ach: The long-term curve should approach the cost of production, and if the value of the coin is not zero, that's not zero.  So, I think Satoshi's halving algorithm is a loser in the long run.20:20
kanzureagreed re: off-topic. i was about to say something too :-\.20:22
bsm1175321I'm going to make a stand and say this is wizardly.  We're really noddling about hat happens when the coinbase reward is zero.20:23
bsm1175321*noodling20:23
bsm1175321zero has the nice property of being independent of any exchange rate.20:24
r0achIs this some type of secret that you guys don't want to get out?  That mining and buying coins is both just speculation/futures market, and there is no actual reason to become a miner over just a coin buyer in the long run unless miners form an OPEC cartel?20:24
bsm1175321I have no knowledge of any such secret.  I'm trying to figure it out myself.20:25
bsm1175321I appreciate all your opinions.20:25
amiller_i don't think we yet have empirical evidence of what a cryptocurrency will work like that only runs on transaction fees20:25
amiller_"The long-term curve should approach the cost of production,"  ok but the cost of production is variable, i'm not disagreeing with the correlation you're mentioning, but i think you're suggesting the causality goes backwards20:26
amiller_since you have miners come and go, the cost of "production" (which is a defense service and not actually production) will match whatever the rewards are being offered to them20:26
bramcAllowing miners to actively harm each other seems to increase centralization. It advantages larger miners over smaller ones because larger ones have fewer resources attacking them.20:26
amiller_r0ach, aren't you the guy who always arguies with rektimus20:26
r0achyes, your slightly communist/eccentric friend20:26
amiller_bramc, yeah.... it would be nice if being large could be made to have some disadvantage... but i haven't gotten anywhere with it20:26
bsm1175321amiller_: transaction fees is not "cost of production" because it's a zero sum game if the coinbase is zero.20:27
bramcIn an alternate approach to limiting centralization, Krystof found a proof of his improvement to my improvement over the naive proof of space scheme. It still has a time/space tradeoff but a dramatically improved one. There's a general approach to adding iterations which might make it completely practical20:27
amiller_bsm1175321, im not talkng about transaction fees, let's say we're talking about inflation bonus20:27
amiller_bsm1175321, you still aren't "producing" anything20:28
bramcamiller_: The problem is that a larger miner can always pretend to be a bunch of smaller miners which happen to not hurt each other20:28
bsm1175321amiller_: Agreed.  It's not production, it's *cost*20:28
amiller_bsm1175321, sure.... that's why the "defense spending policy" analogy is best20:28
bsm1175321Here's a weird idea...in the tx fee only world, would a miner choose not to broadcast a block he won, if the fees weren't enough?20:29
-!- mdavid613 [~Adium@cpe-172-251-161-231.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #bitcoin-wizards20:29
amiller_in a model where there's no transaction fees but there's constant fixed block reward, it's like setting defense spending as a % of inflation per year20:29
bsm1175321bramc I though we agreed we have no way to tell one miner from 10000 ;-)20:29
bramcIn transaction fee only world you can definitely get situations where miners turn off their infrastructure at times20:29
bsm1175321Let's separate the political (number/distribution of miners) from the technical.20:30
amiller_in a model where there are only transactino fees and no block reward, it's like setting defense spending according to some market mechanism that involves willingness to pay to transact20:30
r0achbob, have you thought up any better example of waste heat mining than water heaters20:30
bramcbsm1175321: That's basically my point. Miners do tend to associate with themselves across successful mining events when you're using proof of space though.20:30
bsm1175321r0ach: Read my above linked blog.  If you can sell waste heat, that just reduces your cost, and increases the price you'll hold to sell your BTC20:31
bsm1175321Zero cost things have...zero value.20:31
bsm1175321Trying to make a currency zero cost for it's consensus mechanism creates a currency with zero value.20:31
bsm1175321Look for ways (blahblah) is anchored in the real world.  What are people actually investing in stuff.  If the answer is none, you have a purely speculative market.  If the answer is something, you have a real market.20:33
amiller_bsm1175321, that's not true20:33
amiller_bsm1175321, you could have a free cosnensus mechanism, and provide some kind of "export"20:33
bsm1175321amiller_: Your value is your counterparty risk.  It's independent.20:34
amiller_for example, if you had an appcoin that would let you pay to use some resource like storage etc20:34
amiller_there would be something that's costly20:34
amiller_and you might even say you're turning that cost into production, even if it doesn't have anything to do with the cosnensus mechanism20:34
bramcamiller_: The resource being useful seems to be actively bad, it favors parties who have a way of actually using the resource over those who don't20:34
bsm1175321That's fine, but the value is the probability that I can actually execute the (worthless) database row into the thing I actually want.20:34
amiller_bramc, that's true for whatever is going into the consesnsus protocol20:34
bsm1175321And that's not a technical problem.  It's political.20:35
amiller_bramc, what i'm trying to argue against is conflating the monetary policy of a cryptocurrency with its consensus protocol20:35
amiller_they're related but it's not nearly as simplistic as bsm1175321 is trying to argue20:35
bsm1175321amiller_: I deeply want to have a PoW honey badger, decoupling the two!!!20:35
-!- oneeman [~oneeman@ip254-177-15-186.ct.co.cr] has quit [Quit: Leaving]20:36
amiller_that's the opposite of decoupling20:36
bsm1175321amiller_: I'm confused.  Explain?20:36
bsm1175321(I'm saying having a honey badger consensus protocol that only accepts writes that satisfy a PoW target)20:36
bramcI for one am very excited about this recent progress in proofs of space20:37
amiller_^^^ i am too ^^^20:37
* bsm1175321 raises one eyebrow20:37
amiller_but that's a separate argument don't worry20:37
amiller_discussion rather *20:37
r0achcan't wait to see the surface attack area on proof of space coin pools20:38
amiller_i want to say something like, let's say there's such a thing as a proof of stake protocol20:38
r0achminers rather20:38
amiller_but i think you'd argue that's a contradiction since there isn't, by the same reasoning you're looking fo20:38
amiller_r20:38
amiller_maybe i can make an even stronger but sufficiently different assumption though,20:38
amiller_suppose i had a trusted hardware or some other adequate database20:39
amiller_adequate assumption to have a database that works as well as bitcoin20:39
bsm1175321amiller_: I've made an argument in the above blog that is an economic analog of "nothing at stake".  I believe it holds for any PAXOS/Raft/PBFT derived protocol, in that the marginal cost of modifying a row is zero, and the decision about participating nodes is political.20:39
amiller_bsm1175321, let's say we had a secure public database, and the cost of securing it is free (or paid by someone else anyway)20:40

amiller_this is what it would look like if a government decided they wanted to spend millions of dollars building the next info cyber highway20:41
bramcr0ach: All the proof of space based systems have nonoutsourceable mining20:42
bsm1175321So the actual value of such a thing is the cost of attacking it.  You can obscure that cost, at best.20:42
bramcThe thing which really kills cow systems in practice is that there needs to be some threshold for having a quorum. Too high and mining stops. Too low and an attacker can easily steal everything. There is no good value for it.20:43
amiller_bsm1175321, there's no way that's true20:44
amiller_bsm1175321, at some point, no one around is attacking it, but it costs more and more to make the threshold higher and higher20:44
amiller_imagine a country that spent 100% of its gdp on defense, at some point it there's nothing left worth defending, it wouldn't be a good use to make it more and more secure20:45
bsm1175321amiller_: I think the security community has been living in a fantasy that there is a solution beyond economics.  Any solution falls to the wrench attack.  https://xkcd.com/538/20:46
amiller_no one in the security community is calling for us to pay miners more20:46
-!- PERSIAN [~PERSIAN@MTRLPQ4709W-LP130-05-1279284515.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #bitcoin-wizards20:46
bsm1175321The major contribution of Satoshi is that really, truly, it's all about economics20:46
amiller_or that we'd be better off with more hash power20:46
bsm1175321amiller_: no one in the security community is paying miners anything.  Bitcoin is entirely outside them.20:47
amiller_all about that20:47
amiller_so go back to the scenario where you some how get a secure database for free because someone else is paying for it20:48
amiller_hm20:49
bsm1175321Wait, what?  How did you achieve that?20:49
amiller_i was going to be more specific, that you at least have aadequate hashpower20:49
amiller_but there are always more ways to attack it, rubber hoses etc20:49
amiller_so you're saying that the cost to attack it sets an upper bound on its value?20:50
bsm1175321amiller_: I'm unclear whether it's "upper".  However it is an anchor to real-world value.20:51
bsm1175321If your security solution is political -- as in, how many wrenches and how many people -- than it's economic value is very hard to determine.  But that's NOT the same as being immune to an economic attack.20:52
amiller_it seems like you could have an economic attack on your "currency" even if you *did* have a perfect database20:52
bsm1175321Correct.  If anyone has access, my wrench has access.20:53
amiller_economic attacks include market mainpulation etc, right?20:53
bsm1175321Yes.20:54
amiller_how do you defend against economic attacks?20:54
bsm1175321Politically.20:54
amiller_like, entirely external to the protocol?20:54
bsm1175321Yes.20:54
amiller_or do you build in rewards and other monetary policy things into the protocl?20:54
bsm1175321Because participants have means and influences (like wrenches) that are external to the protocol.20:55
bsm1175321amiller_: You're introducing an economic incentive.  You just changed the boundaries, but not the dynamics of the game.20:55
-!- Dragon535 [~dragon@de-2.serverip.co] has left #bitcoin-wizards []20:55
amiller_well explain the same dynamics again then, but in this setting, and it will amke sense to me20:56
bsm1175321Given any cryptographic protocol, I can choose to influence the participants, with a wrench.20:56
bramcThe nice thing about spacetime systems is that they quite explicitly don't try to dodge the economic argument, they just make a slightly more sophisticated one.20:56
-!- crossing-styx [~crossing-@68-190-118-17.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]20:57
amiller_bsm1175321, what does that suggest we should do?20:57
amiller_(i'll wait for you to go on)20:58
bsm1175321amiller_: At the moment, I'm just trying to puzzle the relationship to economics that Satoshi created.20:58
bsm1175321amiller_: If I've been unclear please ask something more specific... :-/20:59
amiller_bsm1175321, suppose i had a perfect database i didn't have to pay for but i wanted to build a currency on top20:59
bsm1175321I'm not proscribing a course of action for the crypto community, just trying to understand the dynamics.20:59
amiller_if i don't have to inflate currency to make the database secure, i still have to find a way to give it out21:00
bsm1175321amiller_: I lost you at "perfect database"21:00
amiller_extremely expesnive to attack database21:00
bsm1175321Who's the administrator? How do writes happen?  How expensive is "expensive"?21:00
bsm1175321FWIW I come from the "spherical cow" school of thought.  Now let me tell you about their dielectric constant and capacitance...21:01
amiller_maybe the database is another larger civilization, and we're talking about deploying something on a smaller scale than whatever currency they use21:02
bsm1175321amiller_ invokes Godel's incompleteness theorem.21:03
amiller_maybe there's a government (maybe a really hip place in the carribean) that decides to offer a database service as a utility, without prescribing what you should do on21:03
amiller_on it21:03
bsm1175321My challenge is: invent said "perfect database" that can be relied upon for the treasury of the world.21:03
amiller_ok lets go back to this pivot point21:04
r0achbob, the perfect currency is "energon" from the transformers cartoon.  Everything else is a debt instrument.21:04
r0achthe energy cubes can be redeemed at full face value at any time21:04
bsm1175321Hahaaa r0ach ;-)21:04
amiller_the cost of attacking bitcoin through *hashpower alone* sets some kind of bound on the market cap of that currency21:05
amiller_i think it's an upper bound but that you're arguing it's a lower bound21:05
amiller_i thought i had a good way of getting to the bottom of that but it got derailed before the useful part21:06
amiller_maybe rightly so :p21:06
bsm1175321amiller_: We don't have an accurate accounting of cost.  However I argue that it's market price is tied to supply-side (and demand side) economics.  We *do* have an accounting of its purchase price, which is primarily demand side.21:06
amiller_by "tied to" what do you mean21:07
amiller_is it equally ok to say that its supply-side costs are tied to its market price21:07
bsm1175321We can't really know what the profit margin of miners is.  It might be 10% this month, an 100% next month.21:07
amiller_i think because you called one of them an "anchor" that you mean something not symetric21:07
bsm1175321I intentionally used the word "anchor" to avoid the word "value" which most people throw round, and is *extremely* subjective.  No one gives a flying fuck about brute forcing a specific input to sha256d.21:08
bsm1175321I'm not implying anything about symmetry there.  All markets have both supply and demand.21:09
amiller_how about in the silly video game item markets21:10
amiller_is there a supply cost for a new steam hat?21:10
bsm1175321Chinese WoW gold farmers have the market cornered on that.21:10
amiller_is the cost of supplying one the amount you have to pay to get more21:10
bsm1175321There's an effort involved in cheating/hacking the game, or attacking an employee with a wrench.21:10
amiller_the employees also give more out21:11
bsm1175321Supply is infinite.21:11
amiller_i think the policy of how the hats are created matters a lot21:11
r0achthe steam hat thing involved people stealing credit cards, then they would corner the markets on specific hates using those credit cards21:12
bsm1175321My calculus in such games is: "is it worth $5 to enjoy an hour of farming turnips or hunting pokemon".  But at scale, the calculus is: Is it worth me paying $50000 to an employee to crack the code/hack servers/extort with wrench to give me tokens which I can resell?21:12
r0ach*hats21:12
amiller_bsm1175321, what bound does that place on the total market cap of those made up items21:13
bsm1175321amiller_: A very, very ambiguous one.21:13
bsm1175321Don't mistake ambiguity for security.21:13
amiller_which direction would be it if we knew21:13
amiller_like, how much tokens you can get for $50,000 worth of ninjas21:13
bsm1175321I dunno, how disgruntled are the employees and how many do you know?21:14
bsm1175321Also, what's the availability of a secondary market to resell ninjas?21:14
amiller_are yousaying those don't just affect what the bound is,21:14
amiller_but also which direction it goes?21:14
amiller_if you knew all the options for pulling off attacks and how much you'd have to pay to get how many tokens21:15
bsm1175321I'm saying if you had perfect information of disgruntled employees and their wrench-price, you could create a price for false tokens.  Since the supply is infinite, you can influence an employee to create an infinite number of tokens.  So if someone is willing to employ wrenches, the token is worth zero.21:16
bsm1175321(This comes down to the fact that one wrench can buy you 5 tokens just as easily as it can buy you 10 -- the marginal cost once you have deployed the wrench is zero)21:17
midnightmagic:-/21:22
bsm1175321amiller_: The markets we're mostly familiar with involve new assets and a euphoria surrounding them, and it's mostly buy side.  You ask if the direction could be negative.  Yes.  Consider many years later when millions of player have worthless pokemon on their dead game, and would be willing to sell them for any price.  Or, when the coinbase reward is zero...21:33
amiller_right, even though it cost them money to get them21:34
