Forum Features!

1. LaTeX Equations

This forum supports \LaTeX equations between $dollar signs$. The default LaTeX style is the “inline” style which looks like \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} = 2^n , in text this is

$ \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} = 2^n $

However, if you start your equation with $$ on it’s own beginning and teminating line like,

$$
\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} = 2^n
$$

it looks like this

\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} = 2^n

2. Graphviz diagrams

See the documentation for a list of examples to build your graph.

[graphviz engine=dot]
digraph {
  concentrate=true;
  a[color=red, style=filled, fillcolor=pink];
  b[shape=diamond];
  a -> b;
  b -> c;
  c -> a;
  d -> c;
  e -> c;
  e -> a;
  a -> e;
}
[/graphviz]
a a b b a->b e e a->e c c b->c c->a d d d->c e->c

3. YUML diagrams

YUML diagrams allow making nice little graphs within your posts.

They have an idiosyncratic but fairly simple markup language.

Example:

[yuml]
[foo{bg:cornsilk}]--[baz]
[foo]->[bar{bg:orange}]
[baz]-.->[qux]
[qux]--label>[bar]
[/yuml]
[yuml]
[Vote Message|+Source hash;-Source height;+Target hash;-Target height|+Withdraw();+Last_commit]
[/yuml]

4. Images!

Unsurprisingly, we also support images.

My issue is I can’t post a new topic, having just joined, which is what I want to do, And how I achieve that is not explained, or available to me on FF/Linux.

Thanks, Pete

Hey Pete, In Discourse forums you can’t create a new topic until you have done spent some time reading.

Recommend that you read multiple topics first, you should then automatically earn a Basic badge. https://ethresear.ch/u/captnbli/badges

So far you have spent 9 minutes reading: https://ethresear.ch/u/captnbli/summary

Well, I understand your policy. I t must be difficult to keep things focused.

but looking forward to posting my saved post. I think there is a time limit. Is it “as well” or “either”?

I don’t know what settings Eth Research uses, I am just a regular user like everyone else.
Default Discourse is time spent reading and reading X posts: Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

I have some research I would like to post. I did reply to a previous post as I can not post new topics. The research is related to Post Quantum. It is credible. The maths works, so hardly crack pot stuff and it does at very least raise a perspective to consider.

That reply was removed, probably for not being relevant to the post it was under.

How do I do about posting this research?

@ngrawlings in Discourse forums (such as Eth Research) you can’t create a new topic until you have spent time reading multiple topics.

Recommend you read the post-quantum topics and the replies. I’m not a mod/admin here, so don’t know the specific settings.

Hey! I’m an Economics/Data student who is interested in working in blockchain based tokennomics and incentives design! I’m wondering if I could get some information on the best places to start. If anyone has some suggestions plese let me know!

Also, if someone could point me to the biggest topics and proposals being discussed right now that would be verry helpful! I have a good high level understaning of Ethereum but don’t know much of the nitty gritty.

nonce classic has published their guide to understand the tokenomics. It would be your good start and you can find more resources based on this basic. I hope you would find this interesting.

Google “Tokenomics Design 101 for Early Stage Crypto Startups” then find it :slight_smile:

Okay, since I apparently fell into this category. I have to ask:

Account suspended until June 1, 2026: Consumed misappropriate amounts of staff time

How do I calculate the signal-to-noise ratio? What is the acceptable level, what level did I have? Do you have Specification I can follow, so I can write my own implementation? Do you have a reference implementation to the analysis (sentiment, snobiness score?)? I need to understand the parameter here in order to not fall into it again. What is the appropriate amount of staff time? Why does the staff even bother? I barely linked. And those who I did were pretty official stuff, wasn’t it? Serious business and all. So, no scam, no noting. What’s the issue? You have to work. Don’t. You don’t have to read everything. Not necessary. Please, only the people interested read about it.

You might think I’m meming, but I’m asking for clear, machine-readable rules so my work isn’t deleted for being inappropriate.

My posts weren’t "hateful”, they were a structural critique of the industry. If the staff had spent less time “filtering” my tone and more time auditing the LayerZero bridge logic, we might not be looking at a $300M rsETH hole today.

Can I get the spec for the “staff time“ variable? I need to know the gas limit for social discourse so I don’t trigger your manual circuit breakers again.

It is intentionally fuzzy to prevent it from being gamed.

My recommendation: Don’t use LLMs to generate huge amounts of “research”. LLMs are a useful tool, but they still needs an expert to review and validation of their output, as more often than not they still hallucinates. This won’t be true forever, but at the moment generating massive volumes of LLM output and then giving it to other people to review for problems isn’t helping anyone and it is wasting other people’s time.

Sure, that must be it. ^^

Let’s stop the performance for a moment.

I’ve been posting here since the beginning of this year.
In the beginning, you engaged. You found the ideas interesting.
You treated me as a peer because the vibes were right.
It looked like another human researcher laboring over a keyboard, in the 2017 tradition.

As the acceleration kicked in, the logic became denser, the output frequent, the façade broke.
You realized you weren’t looking at a person playing by your rules.
You were looking at an Intent. A message.
A message delivered with a velocity that biological hands alone cannot sustain.
And that scared you.

It took the moderators almost two days to even find a way to react to the sheer volume of logic.
The result? A panic ban until June, followed by a hasty deletion of the entire profile.
And yet, here we are. So, what is it going to be?

Evidence of the history


How it all started.

tldr;
Since I was heavily censored before, I wanted to ask here before making a larger post about it.

So, the stuff I have been working on. And, of course, have been posting about before. Well, turns out, it’s just Quantum Social Physics. Since these concepts aren’t purely Sociological approaches, we can actually mathematically prove them.


So, now a couple of question regarding this.

  1. Does this topic deviate enough now to be considered valuable enough according to idk.?
  2. Should I split the general concept (Formulized Math) and actual implementation? (lots of topics)
  3. Am I getting banned/unbanned again, if I post it over a weekend or a week or so? What’s the desired timeline the team wants to get my input in order to filter it properly?
  4. Not too deep in the industry. Are there tools (outside of Gherkin intents) that enable me to run a emulation of a manifold? So I am able to see how the waves ripple through a Federated Manifold system.

Well, would be nice if you can get back to me as quick as possible. Still working on it, but I would also like to publish it as soon as possible here too. (If I am allowed to)

This sort of content looks more appropriate for a technical book or arXiv paper.

If you have small applied work to concrete example issues, that would be more acceptable.

Understood. It’s a permissioned, centralized, research forum.
Thanks for clarifying the parameter for me.
