Pi is wrong! www.Tauday.org
2172d
Back in the day, it would be easier to measure diameter than radius, with physical objects. I agree that Tau simplifies some equations and makes them look cool but to say that Pi is wrong? Um.
2166d
It could be more accurate to say that pi=3.1415... is wrong. Euler seemed to use the pi symbol the way we now use the theta symbol. So sticking to the radius may just be stubbornness.

Happy pi approximation day (22/7)

The wicked pi-ous will be purged from the world of mathematics by the righteous tau-ists. Convert now or suffer for your ridiculous heresy.

Do you know what is the sum of all natural numbers? Crazy, isn't it? It is above my comprehension.

Want an easy way to convert between Bitcoin Cash sats and US Dollars? It's around one penny per thousand sats. So, 10 cents ~ 10,000 Sats, 1 dollar (100 cents) ~ 100,000 sats, and so on. 🤑

Currently takes about $8.30 in Bitcoin Cash to be a Satoshi millionare.
2160d
Because there are 100,000,000 sats in a bitcoin, 1 Bitcoin Cash will be worth 1 million dollars when 1 BCH satoshi is worth one penny. Proof: 0.01 * 100,000,000 = 1,000,000
2160d
Better proof with units. Everything cancels but the dollars and the numbers multiply to a million. 1 BCH * (100,000,000 SAT / BCH) * (1 PENNY / SAT) * (1 DOLLAR / 100 PENNY) = 1,000,000 DOLLARS
2160d
The 100 million makes it easy to add it onto the already established two decimals on most currencies.

Pretty smart, that SN!

About as smart as he/she/it is smart.

And by smart I meant to write Shy.

If and when Bitcoin Cash reaches 4k it will be the end of transactions smaller than a cent, hope that they reduce the minimum to be relayed around there, less than a cent sounds almost free.
2160d
True, for developers and users there can be short-term barrier-to-entry incentives for price to be low. I would like a way for sub-penny tx's, especially for using Bitcoin Cash for data.

with the creation of cryptos the diversity of them will never stop, there may be massive extinctions like there has been with life but the better used cryptos will keep going

favorite fractal set?
2124d
Mandelbrot but the Cantor ternary is cool too. Honorable mention for the Hilbert curve.
2123d
What is your favorite mathematical fact?
2123d
Sum of all natural numbers equals -1/12
2117d
I am pretty sure he said fact
2117d
The fact that math is unreasonably useful. Most belief systems are ultimately counter productive. Although I'm sure one day we'll have a more useful mathematics.
2086d
and I"m saying we need to step back from total modeling and move towards trend modeling like the coastline with fractals
