KnifeWrench posted:the only way that framing ever made sense to me is that the "problem" they're solving is actually reversing the hash, which is so hard as to actually be impossible if anyone developed an algorithm to successfully reverse a hash they could just generate arbitrary numbers of completed blocks as fast as their algorithm would run, each of which is currently worth something like $280,000. i don't know how the bitcoin system would handle that sort of scenario but it's impossible to do it anyway. ...unless... how is bob dobbs' project coming along?

Finding a suffix that hashed with a given prefix outputs a value with a bunch of 0s in a row in it is a hard math problem, so hard that nobody knows a better way than guess-and-check. I think it's fair to say it in a technical sense; while a layperson might assume "hard math problem" somehow means "useful work". On that topic, a friend told me he was looking at coins that are doing "useful" things for the mining / proof of work. Is there such a thing? I tried googling for this but it doesn't really seem to exist. The closest I could find is like some SETI coin that is mined like normal but gives you a coin reward for doing SETI stuff.

it's literally impossible. the moment the work is useful, you can't verify it without redoing it yourself. the whole reason useless busywork is used for all of these is because it's trivial to verify for consensus. if you start doing something less useless, then the network checking your work needs to duplicate everything you've done for every confirmation, which is now a nontrivial calculation. this leads to all sorts of problems where miners can fake work because the network will inevitably skip the verification step, and then your useful endeavor (i.e. folding@home) is clogged with junk data and worse off than when you tried to incentivize it.

Shumagorath posted:Didn't Folding and SETI specifically send data to multiple clients to be resilient against fakes? okay, so you can't get away from duplicating the work somewhere, but at least this solves the incentive to skip verification. that's good but unless I'm missing something, it only works if there's a centralized authority distributing the work and doing the verification, right? at which point the whole cryptocurrency model goes out the window

KnifeWrench posted:it's literally impossible. the moment the work is useful, you can't verify it without redoing it yourself. nope. NP complete problems are a counter example, a solution can be checked in polynomial time, but finding one requires (as far as anybody knows) exponential time.

buttcoin is also an O(1) verifiable solution rather than an optimization problem (folding) or running DFTs to find patterns (SETI).

Zopotantor posted:nope. NP complete problems are a counter example, a solution can be checked in polynomial time, but finding one requires (as far as anybody knows) exponential time. there are plenty of operations that are hard to do but easy to check (like, for example, the ones every single coin out there is built on), they're just usually not actually useful work which is the whole point here.

also, while going from exponential to polynomial time is substantially easier, and technically isn't "redoing the work" as I oversimplified, it is still nontrivial, which incentivizes skipping or shortcutting verification in a decentralized system the other main point

i think in chia you actually need >50% of "honest" miners to ensure security, so i think it's like a 39% attack to compromise the network.
