Hey, if bitchy snarks and eyerolls are your thing, go with it.
Looks like jl777 is looking for some skilled developers to join his effort. His plan has merit. Watching with interest!
Me too.
It's interesting to see what possible use one can get out of an old system, which is completely different, has limitations that make it impractical, will be completely rewritten from scratch by the zerocoin guys and implemented as a stand-alone altcoin instead of a Bitcoin integration. I also have no idea what this imaginary "zerocoin API" is that he keeps talking about.
So I think he, indeed, needs some skilled developers to explain to him why this might not be such a good idea...
Don't believe me? Here's a quote from gmaxwell:
My greatest concerns were: 50Kbyte transactions with 0.5 second validation time, stored in a step-2-then-a-miracle-occurs DHT, (presumably an attack resistant one created by unicorns), with a cryptographic accumulator which grows without bound and can't be pruned like the block-chain...
I tried to talk some sense into him, he isn't listening, so "bitchy snarks and eyerolls", as you politely put it, is all that's left to me.
It seems like
you got a thing for me with your ignorant and rude remarks.
Go educate yourself about the problem, that's what I've been doing full-time for the last few days.
I've read about 50 cryptographic papers up until now. So yeah, I'm just bitching, you know.
