you say that turing completeness was framed. by who?

A bunch of folks as a Google Search will reveal. It's a common misconception about Rice's theorem that no programs can be analyzed.

Ahem.



and i clarified.
so you claim that the voice on that article was not mine? ...

What voice? I wrote that article and I certainly didn't base it on any of your writings. I've heard of tau-chain because people have made the rapprochement with Tezos before, but that's about it.

Even the 2014 Tezos paper notes that statefulness, not Turing completeness is what makes Ethereum contract special.

I don't find your comments particularly insightful, but whether you agree or disagree with the article is besides the point. You've made an accusation of plagiarism and threatened legal action. I'll be waiting for a retraction and apology.

Q1. How are proposal contracts audited?
=> Proposals are based on the ontological language OWL.

This seems fairly restrictive if you're trying to describe an entire protocol. How would you make a proposal to replace your transactions with zero-knowledge proof based transactions for instance?

Quote
By using an inference engine, we are able to validate the logic of the contracts. This would mean we can pre-audit contracts for logical errors before they are uploaded  on to the blockchain. We also applied timed-automata limitation property for our domain specific language.

You're talking about smart contracts here, not a protocol.

Quote
Q2. How are decisions enforced? Tezos upgrades are automatic.
=> BOScoin’s upgrades are also automatic. When a proposal(Trust Contract) passes the voting process, this is assumed to be a social consensus and the changes are applied automatically to the network. This is possible because we structured the platform on OWL ontologies.

OWL is great and all, but it seems to me that you can only implement some fairly simple parametrization of a fixed algorithm.

Quote
Q3. How do we enforce meta-rules(constitutionalism)?
=> I don’t know if this is what you mean exactly by constitutionalism, but there are certain ontologies that are more fundamental than other higher level ontologies in the BOS platform. Also these fundamental ontologies have been used and tested in many domains for more than ten years.


I mean can your protocol introspect into protocol change proposals and accept or reject them automatically?

I'm not sure I quite understand your proposal. You talk about a congress network making decisions, but

1) how are those decisions audited? Tezos decisions can be audited and verified unambiguously on its blockchain.

2) how are those decisions enforced? Tezos upgrades are automatic, if a protocol upgrade is approved, it is enforced on chain. This isn't just people making a decision and then clients choosing to follow it, this has the full force of a smart contract.

3) how you enforce meta-rule? This is constitutionalism. Can you programmatically constraint the type of protocols that your congress network is allowed to pass? If not you don't have consitutionalism.

Tezos does all of those things, and it is a hard engineering challenge to do it, but ultimately worth it. If we only wanted to have a simple vote, we'd have released two years ago.

Hi all, I'm heading the Tezos project. A few things about the project

 - We have real on-chain decentralized governance, i.e. we can upgrade the entire protocol without hard forks.
 - We support smart-contracts with a functional, statically typed language which we design specifically for formal verification. We presented it recently at the Stanford blockchain conference and the video should be online soon.
 - We're starting with a delegated proof-of-stake consensus model
 - We are headed for a crowdsale around late Q1, early Q2 2017.

We've been fairly discreet for the past few years quietly building our technology (our source code is available on Github). We did not want to go to a crowdsale without an actual working product. We're not a fork of any project, we built the entire thing from scratch in OCaml.

I'd be happy to answer questions about the project!

P.S. we're also looking to contract with translators and community manager.

We published some code on github, see https://github.com/tezos/tezos

The key benefits of Tezos are

1) a governance mechanism that permits innovation at the protocol level through self-amendments. It means stakeholder can choose to incorporate or reject various innovations. They could introduce new types of transactions, new assets or even change the consensus protocol itself.

2) a formally specified smart-contract language

3) good design in general

Re: How To Trade (Buy/Sell) XRP within the Ripple.com Client
by

on 12/04/2013, 15:19:30 UTC
Ok say I want to buy XRP for BTC

1) Advanced -> Trust (add +) .. enter user Bitstamp, then the amount and currency - typically set this high, certainly higher than the amount you want to put in to ripple. You must repeat this for each currency you want to use.
2) In Bitstamp (or whatever gateway) hit withdraw -> ripple, then withdraw to your ripples address.. within seconds it'll be in your ripple account.

Ok, so the idea is that instead of having bitcoins in my ripple wallet I will have bitcoin IOUs from bitstamp, is that right?
So if I have 2 btc on bistamp and withdraw them to ripple, assuming I trust bistamp for more than 2 btc, I will have a 2 btc bitstamp IOU showing up in my wallet. Correct?


Quote
3) make offers to buy and sell currency.

And basically the idea is that bistamp will receive back its IOU and will send me XRP?
