Where the chain itself can be used to prove transactions and balances are valid but only the owner of a wallet has to store the transactions made from or to that wallet. Or atleast the chain stores global transaction info but grows logarithmically with respect to the number of transactions. 13:07:36 I imagine you follow the monero research channel more closely than I do. 13:07:38 Has any there figured out how to create either a constant space or logarithmic space folding block chain?

Or atleast the chain stores global transaction info but grows logarithmically with respect to the number of transactions. 13:11:25 Idk about logarithmic space, but only solution I heard for constant space is zk recursive proof. Which hasn't been explored by MRL since we don't need one at the moment, it is also in contradiction with monero spirit of being able to spend your monero back to genesis. I don't think the idea of folding blockchain while keeping transactions informations have been quoted however. 13:13:21 hardhatter: AFAIK, this type of blockchain structure is already in production on Mina for example. But if the user loses their wallet data, they have lost their coins even if they have a seed phrase. Is that an acceptable tradeoff? 13:23:22 For scalability I absolutely think so. It’s a necessary trade off I think. Burdening the user to back up their data is a small price to pay for a network that doesn’t break at large scales 13:25:47 In fact I think this is a high priority feature. And should be worked on heavily after fcmps are done 13:26:39 I might even be willing to do the work for this. I’ll take a look at Mina to see if it has more pitfalls 13:33:42 tx recipients probably need to be online at the time txs are sent, too. I'm not sure about that. 13:34:10 Not to mention the essential protection from large adversaries that seek to bloat the network not only to make it unusable but also to prevent the average person from being able to run their own node 13:37:07 This would be moving wallet recovery backward to pre-BIP-39 13:39:08 There might be a way around that I can of but, I also that even if there wasn’t thats not actually a serious problem because the sender then has the responsibility to store that transaction data to provide the recipient. If the sender doesn’t do so then it’s his own problem. It’s his loss. The recipient doesn’t have to accept an exchange if he never got proof of payment. 13:39:10 But like I said I think there’s a way around problem anyway 13:39:26 There might be a way around that I can of but, I also think that even if there wasn’t thats not actually a serious problem because the sender then has the responsibility to store that transaction data to provide the recipient.

The recipient doesn’t have to accept an exchange if he never got proof of payment. 13:39:28 But like I said I think there’s a way around problem anyway 13:39:36 There would be no way to memorize your wallet seed phrase for recovery. If you are in a dangerous situation where the only safe place is your brain. 13:40:32 While blockchain folding isn't perfect, a scenario where part of nodes have a folding blockchain and the rest have full or pruned blockchain might be possible 13:40:57 Tho it ask the question of are we going to end up in an eth situation with archive nodes 13:41:12 I genuinely believe this is a relatively less important issue than the viability to the network itself. That amounts to a UX problem that’s manageable 13:41:32 The ideal is for all people to have a copy of the blockchain. hardhatter if you are really determined, you can implement this scheme by yourself, and make it works with the rest of the network 13:41:34 I genuinely believe this is a relatively less important issue than the viability of the network itself. That amounts to a UX problem that’s manageable 13:43:48 The network is so viable that an unpruned Monero node take 2/3rd the space of the 2024 Call of Duty game. Monero txs now pay for their own storage space on the network with about 20,000 nodes. You can do the mathematics. 13:45:08 One 1TB SATA SSD = 1 XMR. It costs one piconero to store one byte on a 1 TB SATA SSD. Minimum tx fee is 20,000 piconeros. The number of nodes on the network is estimated at 20,000. 13:45:23 😎 13:45:31 Okay so listen. It’s likely I could formally prove that it’s not possible if I had the time to do that. With the only exception being compressing the whole blockchain. And technically that is possible however that compression algorithm is my personal IP that I’m willing to share. 13:45:32 There is another compression algorithm that I am willing to share that would hypothetically work but it’s much less scalable too costly for the average person’s hardware 13:45:37 https://bastyon.com/networkr0?s=ba658d453c7f3d9f3db91606ff968785a9b9106b11dd0200f1efcabf75bc4021&ref=PR39WqQZoVzC8KXu5xALSeyzY7JZkKPRwK 13:45:58 Okay so listen.

I know is from empirical evidence that from applications I use in practice. It’s a misconception that led people to believe that you can’t compress this data efficiently. It’s just less trivial to develop an algorithm that achieves that. 13:49:10 It’s compressible. I know it is from empirical evidence from applications I use in practice.

But the most suitable compression algorithm I’m not sharing. The less suitable I don’t think is worth me working on when a folding blockchain is possible 13:53:23 I’m willing to use the Mina protocol or use IP that I explicitly develop for a folding blockchain. But the most suitable compression algorithm I’m not sharing. The less suitable compression algorithm I don’t think is worth me working on when a folding blockchain is possible 13:56:11 Btw a consequence of this compression algorithm is I could basically single handedly take over the chia network. So consider that as a security risk 13:56:39 Not entirely relevant to PoW tho 13:56:56 While I admire your passion and dedication towards this issue. It isn't helping to not share your research with the community 13:57:32 I could’ve said nothing.

If we intend to cap out at the visa networks tx/s. Then as long as the average person can achieve a PB of storage that can buy us like 30 years. So if the eventual the average person can hold 100 PB. I’d say we’re gonna be fine for a long time ~3000 years 14:34:48 Okay so back of the napkin calculation. If we intend to cap out at the visa networks tx/s.

I’d say we’re gonna be fine for a long time ~3000 years 14:35:57 If we don’t go far past what fcmps are already adding to the tx size 14:37:23 That’s also assuming we can throttle not to go above the visa network tx/s which should be doable 14:38:55 For that scale, you need to consider CPU usage and internet bandwidth as possible bottlenecks, too 14:44:27 Lmfao you’re right. And frankly I’m skeptical we’re gonna scale that fast in that space. I think it’s more likely judging from the current path industry is taking that it’s atleast plausible that internet bandwidth will scale enough. But given the approach industry has been consistently taking for that last several decades with microprocessor I’m pretty skeptical they 14:44:28 ’re gonna scale fast enough. But hey it only takes one researcher to figure solution to the problem. It might happen but I would’ve thought it would’ve happened 2 decades ago 14:45:20 Lmfao you’re right.

I thought this channel was less serious so I’ve been less careful about typos. But I’ll try to be more careful here as well 14:49:47 I should’ve also mentioned that I do think storage will scale quickly enough if that wasn’t implicit from the comment with the napkin calculation 14:54:02 The cpu bottle neck is inherently gonna bottle neck the internet bandwidth. But I don’t think internet bandwidth will be the bottleneck that we run into if cpu isn’t a bottleneck 15:04:14 I might be possible to scale enough with microprocessors to buy us over 100 yrs but that depends on whether or not they can cool them effectively, which is questionable. Otherwise they have to figure out how to move passed microprocessors 15:04:22 It might be possible to scale enough with microprocessors to buy us over 100 yrs but that depends on whether or not they can cool them effectively, which is questionable. Otherwise they have to figure out how to move passed microprocessors 15:04:38 Lmfao here I go again with typos ugh 15:11:05 Also I think it would be better if monero was viable on less powerful computers and less demanding telecommunications infrastructure. We don’t need to depend on high precision machinery and amounts of resources inaccessible to the average person to manufacture computers that could hypothetically run on a folding blockchain 15:11:35 run a folding* 15:38:58 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/m.datura.network/aRcmZPbLDqGszDpYLpKxvxzG 15:39:02 at last i recieved it 15:39:17 the delivery just 3 months lol 15:39:23 the delivery just took 3 months lol 16:15:41 great book 17:06:36 Looks like a great read! Gonna put it on my purchase list 17:06:46 I wonder if the author accepts XMR lol 17:10:34 I wonder if you can buy it with XMR lol 17:10:36 And you actually can 17:12:02 Of course, because it would have been hypocritical to make a book about Monero, but the only way to pay for it is with fiat currencies. 17:14:06 Like all these people on YouTube telling you how YouTube sucks and how you have to move to whatever alt tech platform they want you to move to, but they themselves remain on YouTube, and will probably never even log into any of those alt tech accounts themselves. 17:16:44 i'm going to buy one too, proper shilling Nihilist [blog.nihilism.network] 👍️ 17:18:34 i'll be honest with ya, i downloaded the ebook off Anonymouse. i'll pickup the hardcover for my lapse in judgment. 17:27:44 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/monero.social/mCNaljLzRXAAUTVrRblSxilh 17:27:52 redemption 19:19:54 <1​23bob123:matrix.org> Is this the same person who keeps talking about pruning the monero blockchain on monerotalk? 19:33:30 Me? No I’m not that guy and I think pruning has more serious consequences since that can cause the proof of legitimacy of the most recent balances to be called into question. Plus a folding blockchain is orders of magnitude more compact than what a pruned blockchain would be in practice 19:34:30 hardhatter I think you should share your thoughts in #monero-research-lounge instead of #monero 19:36:37 I mean look I’m just replying to that guy. I’m not gonna keep bringing this exact discussion up here if no one is continuing the conversation in any way. 19:56:57 hello guys 20:01:52 how are you? 20:42:21 that's not me 20:45:13 LIAR!
