10-26 06:43 - 'Coming Up: Bakkt’s 1st Bitcoin Options on Futures' (koinpost.com) by /u/Crypto_guide removed from /r/worldnews within 0-9min

I am writing a book exploring an emergent AI (not a program to imitate humans but the result of a Google-like search engine company run a muck (a SciFi dark comedy)). Has anyone ever thought or written about this from a scientific perspective? What would a "real" AI think like?

To me, a lot of books get AI way wrong in over humanizing it. My take,

AI would almost never care anything about humanity.
It would have no goals, no agenda, e.g. it could never try and keep something from an operator or lie.
Time would not exist in any recognizable way. For an AI humans would look like there were always standing still. An AI like most imagine would also be running on picosecond scale. To try and have a conversation would be impossible as you would never be talking to a stable "single" program. E.g. 1 minute for a human is like 100 years for a super computer and it would be ever evolving.
An AI would never care about being turned off or on (or anything). Unlike humans an AI would realize that it was not mortal and could be infinitely backed up.
It would understand that at any moment due to unforeseen events it could cease to exist but could only be programmed to avoid down time which is not the same as fearing death for people. No AI could have a "fear of death" in any way comparable to humans, just an objective to always have adequate backups and avoid downtime.
Motivation could be ANYTHING, for AI motivation can be arbitrary. You could program your AI to try and maximize its processing power or you could program it to collect Bitcoin and that was its "reward". But to think that AI would somehow develop a desire for something does not make sense.

What do you think a human level or above intelligent machine's "thought process" would be like?

Is it possible that Bitcoin price or activity is a leading indicator of world crisis's?

I'm not suggesting the current run-up is at all. But I'm thinking that the more people that purchase bitcoin, the more likely it is that folks with 'inside knowledge' will get active prior to major world events taking place, to save retain their liquidity and value. Is this possible? Or would it be so small as to be invisible?

WHY DXCHAIN USES BIG DATA AND MACHINE LEARNING NETWORK?

It seems that every single day we are faltering into more and more use cases for blockchain technology.One of the many areas exploring symbiotic association with blockchain is big data. In this article, we are going to explore this bond. Before we move on, let's understand what blockchain and big data mean.

https://i.redd.it/f6gtz0omjtu31.png

We have talked a lot about the basics of blockchain before. Therefore, to give you a brief description, a blockchain is, in the simplest terms, a time-stamped series of immutable records of data that is managed by a group of computers owned by a single entity.

The reason the blockchain has received so much praise is because:A single entity does not own the data stored inside the blockchain.The data is stored cryptographically inside the blockchain is immutable, so no one can tamper with the data that is inside the blockchain. Blockchain is transparent so they can track data if they wish.

What is Big Data?

Big data, as the name suggests, relates to a large amount of data. Even with modern progress, the fact of the matter is that the sheer volume of just rotating figures is increasing rapidly. For example, it becomes very difficult to store all data safely

Since the volume of data is so large, fraud detection is a very difficult task in cleaning data. Data scientists spend a large part of their time cleaning up data.

Keeping up with big data technology has been a constant challenge since being incredibly innovative.

The reason why big data and blockchain can have a very fruitful relationship is that blockchain can easily cover the drawbacks of big data. There may be three reasons for this partnership to result:

Security: The biggest asset of a blockchain is the security it provides to the data stored inside it. Remember, all the data inside the blockchain is non-tampering

Transparency: The transparent architecture of the blockchain can help you trace data back to its original location.

Decentralization: All data stored inside a blockchain is not owned by a single entity. So, there is no possibility of data theft if that entity is compromised in any way.

Flexibility: Blockchain can store all types and data.

According to Wikipedia, "Big data is a term used to refer to data sets that are too large or complex to handle adequately for traditional data-processing application software. Data with multiple cases (rows) Provide more statistical power, while data with higher complexity (more features or columns) can lead to higher false discovery rates. "

So, how do you characterize big data? For that, you use something called Six vs. Big Data:

Volume

Velocity

Variety

Veracity

Value

Variability

Volume: As the term implies, with big data you have to deal with a lot of data. Mostly, this data consists of high-volume, low-density, and unstructured data. Most of the time, companies deal with terabytes and even petabytes of data, some of which may be of unknown value.

Velocity: Even though these companies deal with huge amounts of data, they need to work on it fast. Velocity is the rate at which data is received and processed. Some industries are required to operate in real-time or near-real-time scenarios, which will require higher velocities.

Variety: In big data, a large variety of data is available. This was not a problem before with traditional data types. Traditional data types can be easily structured and fit into databases. However, big data is highly unstructured or, at best, semi-structured. This is why, more often than not, large data requires a lot of additional pre-processing due to the Kinnear variation.

Veracity: According to the dictionary, veracity means "the ability to be true or honest". Since big data models collect high volumes of diverse, raw data from multiple sources, it can be extremely difficult to know how accurate the data really is. This is important because bad data can cause inaccurate business analytics and is, as you can imagine, extremely problematic. For companies that need to deal with too much data, in order to achieve accuracy, they need to trace the data to its source to fix all issues.

Value: In the present era, data is money. The more data a company has, the more value it can generate. To generate that value, one thing must be kept in mind, data must be mined and processed. As we have previously mentioned, all the data collected has no intrinsic value and can cloud the results provided by an incorrect data analytics operation. To get the most out of the data, organizations must use data cleansing techniques.

Variability: The sixth V of big data in variability. There are many definitions of variance in the context of big data. First, variability refers to the number of discrepancies found in the data. These discrepancies can be detected by various external methods. Low variability leads to more meaningful analysis. Another reason why data sets can have high variability is sheer variance in data types and sources.

Benefits of BIG DATA:

Now that we have gone through the use-cases of big data, let us see why we should go through the trouble of analyzing big data in the first place. Let's look at the benefits of big data analytics.

Save time

cost efficient

Helps in product development

Helps in understanding market conditions

Helps in sentiment analysis to understand the company's online reputation

If you consider all these factors, the conclusion we can draw is that whatever data comes from the blockchain is valuable, it has already been cleaned up and is fraud-proof. It is a potential gold mine that many companies want to exploit.

What exactly are the qualities of blockchain technology that enable this relationship?

Decentralization

Transparency

Fixed position

# 1 Decentralization

Before we came up with Bitcoin and BitTorrent, we were more used to centralized services. The idea is very simple. You have a centralized unit that stores all the data and you will have to fully interact with this unit to get all the information you need.

Another example of a centralized system is banks. They deposit all your money, and the only way that you can pay someone is by going through the bank.

When you do a Google search for something, you send a query to the server which then returns to you with related information. It is simple client-server.

Now, centralized systems have treated us well for many years, however, they have many weaknesses.

First, because they are centralized, all data is stored in one place. This makes them easy target spots for potential hackers.

If the centralized system undergoes a software upgrade, it will stop the entire system

What if the centralized unit is shut down for any reason? That way no one will have access to the information that they have

Worst case scenario, what if this unit becomes corrupt and malicious? If this happens, all the data inside the blockchain will be compromised.

So, what if we just take away this centralized entity?

In a decentralized system, information is not stored by a single entity. In fact, everyone in the network owns the information.

In a decentralized network, if you want to interact with your friend you can go directly through a third party. She was the main ideology behind bitcoin. You and only you are in charge of your money. You can send your money to anyone without going to the bank.

# 2 Transparency

One of the most interesting and misunderstood concepts in blockchain technology is "transparency". Some people say that blockchain gives you privacy while some say it is transparent. Why do you think that?

The following snapshots of the Ethereum transaction will show you what we mean:

Therefore, when the person's real identity is secured, you will still see all the transactions that were done from his public address. This level of transparency had never existed before within a financial system. It adds that the additional, and much needed, level of accountability that is required for some of these largest institutions.

Speaking purely from a cryptocurrency point of view, if you know the public address of one of these large companies, you can simply pop it into an explorer and see all the transactions they have engaged. This forces them to be honest. Something they have never had to do before.

However, this is not the best use-case. We are pretty sure that most of these companies have not transacted using cryptocurrency, and even if they do, they do not do all their transactions using cryptocurrency. However, what if blockchain technology was integrated into… say, their supply chain?

You can see why something like this can be very useful for the finance industry?

# 3 Inevitability

Irreversibility, in the context of blockchain, means that once something has been entered into the blockchain, it cannot be tampered with.

Can you imagine how valuable this would be for financial institutions?

Imagine how many embezzlement cases can be put into the bud if people know they can't do "book work" and fidelity with company accounts.

The reason why the blockchain gets this property is the cryptographic hash function.

In simple terms, hashing refers to taking an input string of any length and giving an output of fixed length. In the context of a bitcoin-like cryptocurrency, transactions are taken as inputs and run through a hashing algorithm (Bitcoin uses SHA-256) that returns an output of a fixed length.

Let us see how the hashing process works. We are going to put in some inputs. For this exercise, we are going to use SHA-256 (Secure Hashing Algorithm 256).

As you can see, in the case of SHA-256, no matter how big or small your input is, the output will always have a fixed 256-bit length. This becomes important when you are doing huge amounts of data and transactions. So basically, instead of memorizing input data that can be very large, you can just remember and track hashes.

A cryptographic hash function is a special class of hash function that has various properties that make it ideal for cryptography. There are certain properties that are required to consider a cryptographic hash function to be secure. You can read in detail about those in our guide on hashing.

Just a property that we want you to focus on today. This is called the "avalanche effect".

what does this mean?

Even if you make a small change in your input, the changes seen in the hash will be very large. Let's test it using SHA-256: 's

do you see that?

Even if you have changed the case of the first alphabet of the input, see how much the output hash has been affected. Now, back to our previous point when we were looking at blockchain architecture. What we said was:

The blockchain is a linked list containing data and a hash pointer that points to its previous block, hence creating a chain. What is a hash pointer? A hash pointer is similar to a pointer, but it also contains a hash of the data inside the previous block instead of the address of the previous block.

It is a small tweak that makes the blockchain surprisingly reliable and trailblazing. In fact, this is why data extracted from the blockchain is 100% reliable. You certainly know that no one has tampered with the data in the first place.

MACHINE LEARNING: According to Wikipedia, Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and drawing conclusions instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model based on sample data, known as "training data", to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task. [1] [2]: 2 machine learning algorithms are used. A variety of applications, such as email filtering and computer vision, where developing a traditional algorithm to perform the task effectively is difficult or inflexible.

Machine learning is closely related to computational statistics, which focuses on making predictions using computers. The study of mathematical optimization distributes methods, theory, and application domains in the field of machine learning. Data mining is an area of study within machine learning, and a focus on exploratory data analysis through unintended learning.

Machine learning is currently the second hottest topic in the world. The reason for this is that it allows machines to create models based on the working data it is fed. You can see why accurate big data can be useful in this context.

Product Development: It is possible to use big data, tell the customer in advance about their needs and predict their needs. The model is constructed by an assortment of key features of past and present products.

Predicting Fraud: There may be teams of experts who are trying to take them down. Big data can help these companies identify patterns to help predict fraud.

Predictive Maintenance: By identifying certain indicators and patterns one can easily predict the occurrence of faults. Big data analytics can help companies save millions of dollars by deploying cost-effective maintenance.

Improvements in company operations: One of the biggest use cases of big data is improvement in company operations. Using big data, customers can analyze various parameters such as feedback, returns and various other factors so that decision making is improved and in line with current market demand.

Improve innovation: Big data can help to study relationships between humans, institutions, and various other institutions. These information can help companies to innovate and create new products or strategies to gain their competitive edge.

DXCHAIN is one of the best example of big data and machine learning. HOW? get the answer below.

DXCHAIN: It is the World's first decentralized big data and machine learning network powered by a computing-centric blockchain.In other words, DxChain is a public chain, aims to design a platform to solve computation of big data in a decentralized environment.For simplicity, we could use DxChain to store and trade big data, so as to make data more valuable with the computation.

Bitcoin Black Full Debrief

A comprehensive remote viewing session on Bitcoin Black by the leaders in Crypto Remote Viewing.
What is remote viewing?

Remote viewing is defined as the ability to acquire accurate information about a distant or non-local place, person or event without using your physical senses or any other obvious means. It’s associated with the idea of clairvoyance, seemingly being able to spontaneously know something without actually knowing how you got the information. It is also sometimes called “anomalous cognition” or “second sight.”

Many of us experience this from time to time as an intuitive flash of insight that turns out to be correct. Many well-known entrepreneurs and business people, like George Soros, Conrad Hilton, Thomas Alva Edison and Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, have attributed their business success to this ability. And we’ve all seen natural psychics perform seemingly amazing feats of mental skill on TV.

The difference between natural psychic receptivity and remote viewing is that the latter is a trained skill, a controlled process, that the average person can learn to do, to some degree or another.

Twitter CEO Dismisses Facebook’s Libra Project as a ‘Gimmick’

Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, has launched a scathing attack on rival social media platform Facebook’s Libra plans.

Dorsey was speaking at a Twitter event held in New York, and was asked about the possibility of Twitter joining the Libra Association – with Facebook representatives in attendance.

Dorsey did not pull any punches in his response. Per a tweet from CNN journalist Kerry Flynn, the Twitter chief replied,

“No. Hell no. Nothing within Libra had to be a cryptocurrency to do what they want to do. They use that label liberally. It’s completely incorrect. I don’t know if it’s a gimmick but cryptocurrency wasn’t necessary to make that thing work.”

The CEO is a well-known Bitcoin proponent, but skeptics may wonder if Dorsey’s comments may have anything to do with deflecting attention from Twitter’s own finances.

While regulators have heaped the pressure on Facebook to halt Libra, slating the company for its past privacy-related issues, Twitter has found itself in a financial quagmire.

Twitter stock plunged by 21% on Thursday after the company told its shareholders that its third-quarter results had been blighted by product issues and advertising “headwinds” – claiming more trouble could be ahead in 2020.

Regulators and politicians, meanwhile, will not likely let up in their attempts to push Facebook into a Libra climb-down.

Maxine Waters, the head of the Congressional Committee on Financial Services, stated this week,

"It would be beneficial for all if Facebook concentrates on addressing its many existing deficiencies and failures before proceeding any further on the Libra project.”

Facebook’s Head of Content and Algorithm Policy Andy O'Connell, also speaking at the Twitter event in New York, conceded that Facebook had made mistakes in the past. He remarked, again per Flynn,

“I think a lot of challenges Facebook has faced is because we haven’t been transparent about our decisions. That’s why we [now] have an oversight board.”

Digital Wallet Project at Bitcointalk

If you’re looking for the best place to discuss cryptocurrencies, Bitcointalk becomes the obvious number one choice — it’s the oldest and biggest internet forum about the blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies as a whole. The website launched in 2009 when Bitcoin was worth just about a fraction of a cent.

Originally, Bitcointalk was created by Satoshi Nakamoto — the creator of Bitcoin, who may or may not be a person or a group of people whose identity has remained in the shadows ever since. Prior to creating Bitcointalk, Satoshi would use SourceForge to discuss his creation. Unfortunately, the logs of those discussions are gone now. His original Bitcointalk profile is still available — last seen online 13 December 2010 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 )

One of the last things he talked about before disappearing was about WikiLeaks. Here’s what he said: “It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.”

According to stats, there are 2.68 million registered users on the forum who have written over 52.8 million posts in total. Since its creation, Bitcointalk has had a few billion pageviews. Since its creation, Bitcointalk has had a few billion pageviews.

An average of 500 new users sign up every day with the ratio of men to women at 4:1.

Bitcointalk.org was built with SMF — an open source software pack.
Its design and functionality haven’t really changed since the day it launched.
The “Announcements (Altcoins)” subforum is one of the most popular on the entire website, followed by “Bitcoin discussion” and “Altcoin discussion”.

“Announcements (Altcoins)” has become especially popular since 2017 with the rise of ICOs and token generation events that happen almost every day. Our project has decided to start a thread on that subforum — we invite you to visit the official Digital Wallet project thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5195642.new#new

We will be glad to see you among the visitors of our Bitcointalk thread where you can share your opinions and give feedback!

Why would you ever transact with Bitcoin and create a taxable event? I prefer to derive my utility from the coin by appreciating the aesthetic of the actual code.

Major Korean Banks Back Bitcoin Startup Coinplug’s $6.4 Million Round
Coinplug, one of the earliest Bitcoin exchange, wallet and payment startups in South Korea, has raised 7.5 billion won, or $6.4 million, from venture arms of major local financial institutions. The funding came from KB Investment, a VC unit of the KB Financial Group, one of the largest banking institutions in Korea; Mirae Asset Venture Investment, a listed subsidiary of investment bank and securities broker Mirae Asset Daewoo; as well as private equity and VC firm Smilegate Investment. With the new equity financing, Coinplug said it would be focusing on decentralized identification technologies, an area that has drawn significant interest from the Korean government and major banks in the country.

Johannesburg’s Government Website Got Attacked By Hackers Who Ransomed Bitcoins

Charlie Lee: Litecoin’s Fate Is Not Dependent On The Fate Of Litecoin Foundation

The foundation right now only has one full time, paid employee; everyone else works as a volunteer.

Over 10 years after bitcoin was first presented, the IRS has discharged only one open notice on the most proficient method to settle government obligations on computerized possessions. That absence of direction is leaving American citizens with "inadmissible" uncertainty on detailing prerequisites, the letter marked by 21 individuals from Congress on Monday said.

"Citizens merit lucidity on a few fundamental unanswered inquiries with respect to government tax collection of these developing trades of significant worth," as indicated by Tom Emmer, a congressman from Minnesota who marked the letter. "Direction is long past due and fundamental to legitimate revealing of these developing resources."

A huge number of introductory coin contributions have brought billions of dollars up as of late, making revealing progressively unpredictable.

In the years since, it arrived at a record high of almost $20,000 and a $334bn advertise capitalization in December 2017. As of the hour of distributing, the worth rests at around $5,000 per bitcoin.

Questions staying, as indicated by the letter, incorporate how citizens ought to ascertain the equitable estimation of famously unpredictable monetary standards, how to track trades, and how to represent forks in the blockchain, which are central changes to the convention on which bitcoin and different cryptographic forms of money run.

The letter from Congress may fill in as a type of insurance for computerized cash brokers being reviewed for assessment reasons, noted Kugelman.

"This letter is somewhat astounding," he said. "In the event that any of my customers are examined, I am going to show this to evaluators – in what manner can the IRS make implementation move against citizens when there is such a conspicuous absence of direction?"
