What’s up today? (Part 2)

From the link above.

Protocol Labs’ Filecoin is currently the best decentralized storage provider in terms of affordable prices. Filecoin has been able to offer lower prices for data storage by providing subsidies to ensure attractive block rewards.

Pretty standard practice isn’t it? Buying market share!

It would be neat if we had an OS that costs SAFE to install apps, but is free to uninstall an app. It gets fun, when somebody got to pay your pubkey and txfees to install an app and run it on your device and you can adjust the cost to do so. If you install an app you could pay 1 nano, but after that it would automatically jump to 1000 MAID, malware installs would disappear real quick. Another option is that only your privkey could install on the OS, but that would take away the fun of making an attacker pay. What if the attacker gets your privkey? You could add an timeout like 96 hours that cost SAFE to adjust, before one can install, that would give you enough time to…

I don’t like to be this guy, but I think that Tweets should be written carefully. This does not look good to me:

The Safe Network keeps progressing! Thanks to all who participated in valuable the DiskNet testnet. It

Hugely valuable network. Connectivity and logging improvements are in the works. Exciting times are ahead!

It makes me wonder if the account has been hijacked, or the one tweeting has been drunk, or something…

In Australia they just throw you in jail up to 10 years till you give over your access

It’s better to communicate than not… so I wouldn’t sweat it.

Just my impression, nothing more.

edit:

OK, now that I see it was just a start, I’ll give it some slack, and agree with:

Keep 'em coming!

Might be that when English is not my first language, my “autocorrection” does not work that well. It really was a bit difficult to read. It’s also that about 95% of my English use is done via writing, and that might bring certain stiffness to my laguage skills. Spoken English, especially casual, relaxed speech is so much more difficult to grasp.

Amazing how the brain works, I needed to read it three times to find the issue :upside_down_face:.

I’ll be the contrarian, it’s OK in fast paced comms like Twitter or even forum posts etc not to proof read everything and to shoot from the hip.

Mostly covering for myself, it seems that even if I proof read my stuff, errors only become visible after it has been up long enough for others to read!! :man_shrugging:

Here’s the equivalent link but on Nitter, from the guy who doesn’t understand why people weigh down their browsers with all that unnecessary Javascript baggage running around

Today I discovered, and it has somewhat blown my mind, but I don’t fully understand so perhaps someone here is versed in elliptic curve math and can enlighten me.

As I understand it, if you multiply your (Ethereum in this given example linked below) Public Key by a random number you get a new Public Key.
Then if you multiply your Private key by the same number, you can use it to control funds at new Public key that you created in the first step.

That is all good and well, but what is tripping my lack of knowledge in the area is that the keys are alphanumeric? how does that magic work?

Rushing now, but if they use BLS then this is possible easily. It’s part of our sybil defences too. More on that later though

Our DBC actually does this trick (key derivation)
