[1/10/2014 10:50:48 PM] Chaeris: Guys, claim the 10TB (if it's real).
And then we will generate... just a few images... But we will be helped.
The LLCoin ?
(people don't have to know that LL means LawLess ;)... I mean they shouldn't know it!).
The concept is that, based on a client, people actually generate images.
We will later find a secure way to determine how many images someone has made.
And we will also find a way to avoid two people generating the same image (I'm thinking of a pool system, like people are assigned a certain amount of images.
And then somehow other clients don't "mine" images in that pool, they instead use the next pool).
The end result will be a website where you can actually see all possibles images (like all the possible outputs) for a 4K image (4096*4096 pixels).
Then on this website, we will allow people to add tags to image they look at, and vote for the tags that are already assigned to an image.
Then people could browse images based on tags.
And a rank system (just comparing the amount of votes for the same tag on an image) will display the most voted image for a particular tag.
It will be one vote/tag and per IP.
So someone can only vote once for a tag, unless he uses a proxy to vote a second time for the same tag, until he runs out of proxies.
In the end we will have all the possible images ranked and classed by the crowd, automatically.
But then, where are we going to make money ?
Well, the thing is, I talked about coins.
Each time someone has mined a pool, he gains one coin (so pools won't be too big).
That's cool, but then the coins have a real value, like bitcoins or dogecoins.
Where are we going to make money ? We're going to mine in our own system ?
No, we're going to have our own coins at the beginning, already "mined" (even though we didn't process any image).
But people won't know it.
We wil let the virtual currency take importance, and then we're going to sell our coins (that we didn't mine).
If we're lucky, the currency is going to be worth a LOT!
And then when we'll exchange it for real money, we're going to make a LOT.
On top of making money, we're going to realize images of all of the possibilites, thus making the whole thing close to 10 dimensions (many people don't know it, but in physics there are ten dimension.
The tenth dimension represents all the moments, of all parallel universes, on all of the possible initial conditions, at once, in the same exact place and time).
Ah, and of course, we're going to use a special license which states that all the pictures are generated randomly, thus making the results random, without control, based on computers, and so no matter what the content actually is, nobody WANTED to ESPECIALLY create THAT SPECIFIC result, and so nobody has the right to blame us or anyone for the result, because it's not our fault.
So on top of the tag system, I'm going to make a report system on the final website with all the images.
It won't delete the images completely, it will just remove the access from the website. (But image will still be stored somewhere on the 10TB server).
Last time I calculated, there are only 15TB of images to produce.
So if a second person claims 10TB, we have 20, which is more than enough.
[1/10/2014 11:03:08 PM] Chaeris: To calculate the total amount of possible images in 4096*4096 pixel.
So we have:
4096*4096 = the total amount of pixels.
256^3 (256*256*256) = the total amount of colors a single pixel can take
so we only have to multiply that:
4096*4096*256*256*256
= 281 474 976 710 656 images.
A single pixel has 24-bits (3bytes) assigned to it
The size of a single image is:
4096*4096*3 bytes
= 50 331 648 Bytes
= 48MegaBytes (48MB)
So, in megabyte, the total space is:
281 474 976 710 656 * 48
= 13 510 798 882 111 488 MB
= 12 Zettabytes
= 12 884 901 888 TB
So nevermind, my whole project is too big for now.
I will wait another 50 years before launching it...
