What's up faggots? I saw a "VQC" post fly by in /qrg/ and thought I'd pop back in and see how you motherfuckers are doing. Any progress? Anyone find Christopher Robbins again?
Man, I have no fucking idea what's going on here, but it's wild as fuck
I know a guy like the author of that blog. He's technically an intelligent person, or at least used to be, but he's just completely lost his shit in the last few years much like the blog's author. The irony is that to protest purported assholishness, they become much greater and even more unapologetic assholes themselves. There's also a singular confidence in their pronouncements, which is also ironic since their predictions are much worse than you would otherwise get from pure chance. I kind of feel bad for this person, really.
Human beings were a mistake. This is such a typical human endeavor; a lumbering clusterfuck of naivety, deceit, and non-forthrightness. It seems we are in a different age now, one of post-truth and non-plain speaking. In many ways, and hardly exclusive to this particular forum, I am profoundly disappointed by all of it. Fate it seems has brought us together merely to jerk each other off and hint at a changed world but nothing more? Maybe someday beings will succeed at this kind of thing but they will not be human, they will be whatever post-humans call themselves. I love all you /vqc/ faggots, though, this thought is simply me waking up on a Wed, seeing such momentum in the last few weeks here, but feeling somewhere deep down that it is all for naught. I hope I'm wrong.
I just kind of had a 'vision' and I want to run this by you quickly to see if I just glimpsed a part of it all. So all you really know at first is you have a large symmetric L of 'blocks' one unit thick. This is because that's what 1 * c fundamentally looks like.
So let's call that L an object. Let's use a tangible example of 7 * 19 = 133. So that object would be {12:56:11:10:1:133}. This represents 67² - 66², but also bakes in an opinion. This opinion is "that's aka 11² + 12".
But an alternate opinion on this is "that's aka 12² - 11". This point of view is represented by {-11:55:12:11:1:133}. Now I thought before that these were two different "things".
THEY'RE NOT. These are literally the same EXACT object, viewed from a different angle, like zooming around it or something. So basically when you're fucking around with a e, -f you're not actually moving or anything, you're kind of just gathering information by reading all of the signs that point at the object in question.
So basically what it boils down to here is the e and -f "signature" (skipping for the moment the details) of the 1 * c matches the a * b because in yet another dimension the a * b ACTUALLY IS 1 * c. 13² - 6² = 67² - 66² Same fucking shit. The thing is that in some dimensional view, there are just two spikes sticking out because these are a product of two primes.
So we have a L of unit 1 at 67 and we have a L of thickness 7 at 13. So we have to "ride" down the diagonal and efficiently find 13 and then 6.
Moblefagging now, my id may change. Thanks for that, it does seem apropos and food for digestion over time.
One thing I have been thinking about as well was the OG 5 * 29 = 145 example. I used to hate that fucking thing because e = 1 and when I work through anything I hate values of 0, 1, and -1 because they tend to lead you to believe in things that don't extrapolate well. However, there were some interesting takeaways for me from it.
If you view the 145 as a 12 * 12 square plus a remainder 'e' zit of one, and starting at the leftmost and bottommost block you remove 1, then 3, then 5, then 7, then 9… or put another way in perfect 1, 4, 9, 16, 25… squares, you know at some point you will have removed a perfect square from the inside and exactly created one on the outside, and you now have a perfect difference of squares.
The 5 * 29 example is interesting because it demonstrates an upper bound. You remove literally ever single square from the inside and it stacks up perfectly around the outside. You could not go further if you wanted to because you have nothing left. It's literally a demonstration of the upper bound on 'n'.
When removing interior blocks and stacking them around the top and right sides, you get 'nd' on each side and n² in the corner. To upper bound n, you can simply divide c by 2d and check that e can't fill the leftover n². Here, d = 12, 2d = 24, c = 145, 145 / 24 = 6 remainder 1. That would leave a 36 unit n², which remainder 1 plus e of 1 cannot fill. So 1<= n <= 5, and is in this case 5, whereas with many small examples it'll simply be 1 or 2, and in big examples some anonymously large value that does not really invite thought.
This is probably widely known, but it was new to me when I began revisiting the topic a few days ago after being pleasantly surprised you motherfuckers were still here.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU GUYS ARE STILL HERE! I missed this place and you fags a lot. Good to see you all again from the clearweb. Godspeed and looks like things are happening here, I’ll try to catch up.
nah, just some random fag who got sucked in right around when you made the board. I’ve jumped in here and there and tried to figure shit out.
I just want to say I have immensely enjoyed just about every single post you have ever written, the way you just bang your head against shit and then just saying how you see it with no real filter. I’m usually banging my head to less avail than you. I’ve learned some interesting things along the way and have read more about crypto in general, the theories behind it, how it’s used, and I realize it’s sometimes pretty comfy to be a fucking pleb but give things the good old college try with zero expectations of usefulness or really even genuine understanding. It’s kind of fun and almost the ultimate luxury, to not have to work in a coal mine or something and to be able to fuck around with these idiotic things in my spare time.
ATTENTION FAGGOTS
IT’S OK TO BE GRUMPY. LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP EVERYBODY!
The “problem” (because there is no actual problem) is simply every angry, grumpy, madlad’s expectations. My expectations on the low side are pure entertainment and using my brain for new things, things that actually have helped show me I’m interested in shit I didn’t know about, life is good.
My expectations on the medium side of it is if it doesn’t pan out within 5 years we turn it into a straight up fake cult. Meetups w/ beer, kick ass T shirts, maybe we can get a sympathetic local media interview, life is good.
My expectations on the high end is eventually we factor a challenge number (within five years, see above) and suddenly shit completely hits the fan and there’s literally archeological-tier discussion about who or what Chris is and who the fuck are the faggots that actually believed his insane shit from the get go, but get this, literally WHILE they were chasing down another Chris+++ known as Q, so early on that literally “who the fuck does that?”
Guys, we are who does that, cheer up! We are probably 10 in 5,000,000,000 and we managed to find each other. Even if we never factor RSA-12, my life has been richer for having been here. It has also been richer for fucking around with math, geometry, number theory, and crypto. I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m just saying, fuck it, we can do anything we want. We could even design and start our own site, platform, etc. I have no idea what the fuck I want, if anything, but there is a slim but real chance we will all do some crazy but dumb shit together, so again life is good.
