I must be living in the one GCC country that has none of those things. Well, some banks do offer gold promos, but most of them just offer cash prizes, and at least a couple have villas as prizes. We already have a few shops that allow bitcoin payments, but I'm not aware of anyone who actually uses them, people who follow bitcoin here just use it for speculation purposes. That shit in the OP is probably just in Dubai, and is not representative of the GCC as a whole.

The gulf nations of the GCC are a completely different breed from other arab nations. Thinking all arab nations are the same because they are in the same region is as moronic as thinking Russia and Sweden are the same or that Mexico and the US are the same just because the are close to eachother.

You asked a big question, so you're getting a big answer. IELE and the underlying K Framework do a lot more than just give you a sidechain. If all you want is to run smart contracts on Cardano in TypeScript or something, a sidechain is more than fine for that. However, when you're talking about IELE, you're talking about something that can be used for a whole lot more than just a sidechain. TL;DR: IELE was never _just_ a scaling solution; it's supposed to be a "next-generation" of Plutus in the sense that it should compile to an existing well-defined instruction set (i.e., LLVM IR) and formally-verifiable runtime for said instruction set. The idea was to build a scaling solution on top of this, but that's really the endgame for all offchain computing; it's not ready yet, of course, b/c it's so nakedly ambitious. On the other hand, if what you want is just a scaling solution (without all the security and extensibility stuff you get from IELE), then Hydra and Midnight should be fine. Hydra was always part of the plan, but Midnight was introduced as a stopgap since people seem to want sidechains NOW; make no mistake, however, that the endgame is IELE. Background: These days, you hear all about languages being compiled by newer compiler infrastructures like LLVM ("new" in comparison to GCC) and newer runtimes like EVM, Plutus, and even WebAssembly (WASM) in the Web2 world. For the rest of this rant, I'm going to assume for this that you have some knowledge about how compilers and programming languages work. I can provide docs on request if it's about something specific, but there's too much literature on this subject to summarize it all. Now, what is IELE in the context of compilers and runtimes? IELE is a runtime over a subset of LLVM's intermediate language representation (IR). In other words, it takes a subset of the IR generated by LLVM, which is used by the LLVM-based compilers in the code optimization phase (when the compiler takes the liberty to rewrite your code to be faster and whatnot). On its own, it's got nothing to do with Cardano, but you can very easily build a sidechain with IELE. Why would you want an IELE sidechain in the first place? There's a couple reasons: 1. You don't have to write a whole new programming language to target it. It should be compatible with LLVM, which means that you should be able to run any low-level language (e.g., Rust) directly on the blockchain without having to use an intermediary runtime like Plutus or EVM. Imagine an interface where, just like you can compile Rust to WASM, you can also compile it to IELE and run it on the blockchain as a smart contract; this is what IOG is targeting, and it's much harder and more impressive to do than building any plain old sidechain (at least IMO b/c difficulty is relative). 2. It's more secure than anything else b/c you're running an already-secure source language (e.g., Rust) over an already-secure target language (i.e., LLVM IR) rather than building your own language like Solidity and building your own runtime for it from scratch. This is why Solidity has so many vulnerabilities; building a programming language and a runtime that people actually like using is REALLY FUCKING HARD, but Vitalik decided that blockchain should be like the web and the language should be like JS; that's how we got stuck with Solidity. We built Ethereum and Solidity in almost exactly the way Chrome and JS were built, and only after investing millions on millions did we finally remember that most of us fucking hate Chrome and JS. 3. IELE underlies the K Framework, which was designed for formal verification of compilers and runtimes. This means that it becomes very easy to prove complex mathematical properties about IELE using K. You can say that ETH has formal verification too, but Cardano is on a whole other level. Reason being, it uses functional programming languages such as Haskell, Agda and K (the latter two are basically "Haskell-on-crack"), which make it a lot easier to reason about the kinds of definitions, theorems, and proofs you get in abstract math; you just can't get the same level of expressivity in terms of the properties you can prove with any procedural or object-oriented language. To summarize, IELE is an extremely ambitious project that, like a lot of other stuff IOG puts out, we'll only see the full effects of when it's released and stable (which will unfortunately ba few years yet); again, it's way more ambitious from a theoretical computer science perspective than any sidechain like Polygon could be. However, the thing is, IOG gets a lot of flak for this "academic approach," even though that's their biggest selling-point in the end. That's why they're coming out with a variety of different scaling solutions, each with its own strengths, limitations, and tradeoffs. Hydra, for example, is a simple subledger for offchain computation, which you use in the same way you use Lightning Network; it can do a lot more than just that, especially once Interhead Hydra drops, but we're already seeing some promising early demos. On the other hand, Midnight is a sidechain which is designed to support TypeScript SCs over a whole different accounting and ledger management model than Cardano's core settlement layer. If you just wanna do what Lightning does and send microtransactions with e-UTxOs, then Hydra is fine; however, if you want to write an SC in an object-oriented language, and you don't wanna use e-UTxOs, then Midnight is your best bet. In time, the community will develop many more scaling solutions on their own so that we don't have to rely only on IOG's code; that's exactly what they've been doing for the past 2 years already.

Funny/ironic that you mentioned updating the firmware, "air gapped," and "secure" in almost the same sentence. Is the Coldcard made using an off-the-shelf microcontroller that you can reflash yourself using industry-standard tools like JTAG? Is the firmware open-source that you can compile yourself using open-source tools like GCC or Clang? If your only option is to flash a firmware via the bootloader already on the device, or if you can't build the firmware yourself from source, then it is not secure.

Ok so you need to build it. I just tried on Ubuntu 22.04 but it seems it won't build with GCC 10. I think the easiest way to build would be to copy this Dockerfile [https://github.com/bedla/docker-cgminer-gekko/blob/master/cgminer/Dockerfile](https://github.com/bedla/docker-cgminer-gekko/blob/master/cgminer/Dockerfile) and either build the docker directly (for raspberry pi and use this as the usb port for your miner) or change it to normal pc base images and build a cgminer docker for pc)

We call this the "double emulation" problem! There are ways around it, it's not as insidious as it may initially sound. But first I want to point out that we shouldn't really be comparing EVM bytecode with a Python program running inside our emulator. Rather, we should either compare a Python program inside our emulator with a Python program inside the EVM (which is unfeasible), or compare EVM bytecode with a RISC-V program. Having said that, if your application is performance critical and the overhead of interpreting is unreasonable, then we'd suggest using a compiled language like Rust, C or C++. Anything that compiles to RISC-V really. We expect this to be generally faster than EVM-equivalent smart contracts because of more mature optimizing compilers (LLVM and GCC should generate better code than the Solidity compiler), as well as RISC-V being easier to emulate (word size matching the host machine, not being a stack machine, the ISA itself being more suitable to faster execution, metering…). We've also put a lot of effort into optimizing our emulator. If one does want to use Python, we remind developers of the scripting vs system programming thesis/paradigm, wherein performance-critical code is moved to a compiled language like C and Rust, and scripting is only used as glue. For example, the primitive routines in NumPy are implemented in C; since the bottleneck is inside those routines, scripting in Python isn't disastrous. Likewise for using OpenCV from Python; the heavy lifting is done by C++. Finally, if one absolutely wants to run everything in the Python interpreter, we are coming up with a solution that allows certain DApps to run directly on bare metal instead of inside our emulator (unless there's a dispute, then we have to turn the emulator on). One would still need to contend with the performance of the Python interpreter, but at least there'll no longer be double emulation.

As I tried to explain above Dubai is not a country, it’s an emirate, a city really that’s about a fifth the size of London. I respectfully disagree about human rights. The laws are clear. Be aware of them and respect them. You may, as many people do, be getting the UAE and Dubai confused with other GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. It’s a common error though.

> The main reason is because of unregulated capitalism I agree. What we disagree about is whether interest (usury) should be part of the regulation. Given my background, we Muslims maintain that usury is something that has to be completely regulated out of the picture :) > This is true whether "interest" exists or not. What you describe for Islam doesn't change this fact, those who already own things can profit the most. Islam limits the means by which profit is achievable. For example, gambling is prohibited, and enabling others to gamble is equally prohibited (e.g. by opening casinos). Certain types of businesses are forbidden (e.g. anything that goes against the teachings of Islam, such as prostitution houses, gambling casinos, selling drugs (not the medical kind obviously), etc.). At the same time, Islam has something called Zakat, which you can think of as a "wealth tax" or "alms tax" to some degree. The goal there is to achieve a standard for society to strive to, and also provide an incentive or prohibition against holding and hoarding money just for the sake of it. It has been documented that in Iraq during the Ummayad period, there were no more poor people left to accept Zakat since everyone paid their share. Islam never claims that everyone will be equally rich, or that it's something to strive to. It sets red lines, or boundaries, and leaves the rest up to society to govern itself as it sees fit, based on the times and geography. This is why we maintain that Islam is valid across all times and space. As long as those boundaries are not crossed, we are able to adapt to give society the best outcome and prosperity for everyone. As such, we are not against adding certain regulations that do not conflate with Islamic teachings if they can give us a better outcome. This topic is quite nuanced, but I hope I got the idea acorss. > Dubai was mostly built with oil money and Western investment (aka loans). Dubai is also mainly built by slaves who are not being paid properly and work in dangerous conditions, so...not very moral. Sure, have you ever heard a scholar of Islam claim that Dubai was following Islamic practices to build its wealth? You're absolutely correct that taking loans and exploiting people are immoral; they are also 100% contradictory to Islamic teachings, and the people who facilitated such actions are going to stand in front of God on the Day of Judgment to answer for them. > Aside from Dubai, what examples can you provide of the Islamic world standing out in terms of innovation and raising the wealth of their population instead of just a few individuals? Even with the violations you mentioned, I think that UAE (as well as the rest of the GCC countries) have done a good job at raising the wealth of the population. I mean, it's not for no reason that people from all over the world move to those countries, in spite of the weather, to make a living. The salaries are better than thier home countries, and they end up saving money. Now, are there terrible violations that happen there? Defnitely, and they are not excusable. However, we can still call out the good that came out of it, no matter how small. Another part of your question is sort of implied. Here's the thing: there is no country on earth today that rules 100% according to Islamic teachings. Every single one of them has violations, and frankly, they are not small. Practically every country has bars, pubs, commercial (i.e. usurious banks), etc. These would all be prohibited under Islam. The issue is much bigger obviously, and goes back to when the last Islamic Empire fell post WWI. Since then, the Muslims have not be united, and post Sykes-Picot, we all know what happened. We are still living to this day under occupation, and many of our rulers are puppets to the West, or are too weak to do anything, or are drowning in temptations. This is not a secret, and is known to any average citizen of those countries. > Such a system still needs to be well regulated because those who are making deals with an entrepreneur are in a position to take advantage of that entrepreneur. Sure, and that does not go against what I wrote. As long as we are within the boundaries that Islam sets up, we are free to maneuver to benefit society. We want everyone to succeed because that's how society propsers, and rules can be made to that effect. > This is true, but also neglects the fact that these people sold part of their first company in order to start new companies. And many Muslims also started up their own businesses and sold them without usurious loans, I'm not sure how this relates to the subject matter. > Still, the wealth gap in Islamic nations is considerably higher than any Western nation. Many factors are involved here as I pointed out a few paragraphs ago. It's not correct to compare Western nations with Islamic nations because there are way too many variables involved, and as I mentioned, the majority of them do not apply Islamic laws to governance. You might be able to study individuals who do apply Islamic laws in their finances and see how they fair. As I mentioned in my previous post, there have been many rich Muslims in Islamic history, they did not engage in things that are prohibited in Islam to gain massive wealth.

I dont think you understand how software works. The code is not written by one person or group. There are many layers, developers use a whole bunch of third party code and tools. For example SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a third party library that allows secure communications, this is a specialist toolset. If SSL changes because of upgrades or bugfixes, the software using SSL must be updated. Also compilers like GCC will have upgrades and bugfixes, for software to remain compatible it must be updated. Operating Systems are also updated, this drives a need to kerp current with later versions if libraries too.

These are the reasons CKB chose RISC-V taken from here [https://medium.com/nervosnetwork/an-introduction-to-ckb-vm-9d95678a7757](https://medium.com/nervosnetwork/an-introduction-to-ckb-vm-9d95678a7757) RISC-V is an open-source RISC instruction set architecture (ISA) designed by professors of the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. The aim of RISC-V is to provide a common CPU ISA that enables the next generation of system architecture development for several decades without the burden of legacy architecture issues. RISC-V can meet implementation requirements ranging from small-sized microprocessors with low power consumption to high-performance data center (DC) processors in all scenarios. Compared with other CPU instruction sets, the RISC-V instruction set has the following advantages: * Openness: Both the core design and implementation of RISC-V are provided under a BSD license. All companies and agencies can utilize the RISC-V instruction set and create new hardware/software without restriction. * Simplicity: As a RISC instruction set, the 32-bit integer core instruction set of RISC-V has only 41 instructions. Adding support for 64-bit integers, the instruction set only has about 50 instructions. An x86 instruction set may have thousands of instructions, compared to this, the RISC-V instruction set is easily implemented and prevents bugs while providing the same functionality. * Modular mechanism: With a simplified core, RISC-V also provides a modular mechanism to provide more extended instruction sets. For example, the CKB might choose to implement the V extension defined in the RISC-V core to support vector computing or add extended instruction sets for 256-bit integer computing, providing the possibility of high-performance cryptographic algorithms. * Wide support: The RISC-V instruction set is supported by compilers such as GCC and LLVM. Rust and Go language implementations based on RISC-V are being developed. The VM implementation of CKB will use the widely implemented ELF format, CKB VM contracts can be developed using any language that can be compiled to RISC-V instructions. * Maturity: The RISC-V core instruction set has been finalized and frozen, all RISC-V implementations in the future need to be backward compatible. This removes the possibility of a CKB hard fork resulting from a VM instruction update. Additionally, the RISC-V instruction set has hardware implementations and has been verified in real-world application scenarios. RISC-V does not have the potential risks that may exist in other less-supported instruction sets. Even though other instruction sets may have some of the qualities listed above, the RISC-V instruction set is the only one that delivers all of them according to our evaluation. Based on this, we have chosen to implement CKB VM with the RISC-V instruction set and utilize the ELF format for smart contracts to ensure wide language support. In addition, we will add dynamic linking for CKB VM to ensure cell sharing. Even though the official CKB implementation will provide popular cryptographic primitives, we encourage the community to provide more optimized cryptographic algorithm implementations to reduce runtime overhead (CPU cycles). The topic of developer incentives to improve cryptographic primitives on CKB is interesting and has been frequently discussed among the CKB team. It is our hope that the CKB VM will develop and improve with the evolution of cryptography and community, without the need for hard forks to upgrade the protocol.

Elitist_Plebeian

This is absolutely still going on throughout the GCC. Workers are bought and sold by their employers without any say in who they work for, pay, living conditions, or access to their passport. It's not just the construction industry, it's every industry that uses foreign labor. Yes, some efforts have been made to cut down on it. Even where it's no longer legal though, it's still culturally accepted and practiced fairly openly. There is negligible political will to punish Arab citizens for transgressions against foreign workers. Why are you working so hard to defend slavery?

They treat you like a 2nd class citizen no matter how long you have been living there for. You will have 0 rights, and have to submit to the king. All sermons in the masjids have to be approved by the king. Saying anything against him is a crime. Its hell man, trust me nobody goes there unless they fully have to as the case of many in Pakistan, India, China etc.

You have a valid opinion, however, i was only talking about Dubai :) All the GCC countries are filled to the brim with migrant workers living in very poor conditions (10-20 people per house no AC, etc) and they are getting zero rights, Is that not slavery? They get kicked out right when there job finishes. Also, the local peoples treat the migrants like shit. Rape and crimes are wide spread. The migrants home countries are also to blame, however, The GCC countries are not good places to be in in my personal opinion. (Also, some of the workers are lied to, in order to get them to come to the UAE with them, then their passports are hidden and they are forced to work)
