@CIPSInsight @TWSPartners The idea by @TWSPartners is to use Prisoner's Dilemma game theory with carbon credits to achieve emission targets. At The Game Theory Guys, we believe John Nash's Ideal Money proposal can reach a "Nash bargain" through the independence of irrelevant alternatives bargaining axiom.

@brc20punk "novelty in the details and in terms of the context and the times"

Is he referencing the genesis block message? (The Times)

@kendallbaker Minimax is decision theory, Moneyball is data-driven analysis - we could generalise this in terms of win/lose games in that both assume some sort of desire of ignorance in the counter-party. But with complete information, are we approaching a "Nash program" ?

[The Game Theory Guys @GameTheoryGuys]

@kendallbaker Recently wondered if John von Neumann's Minimax theory is better than Moneyball?

@FarCueCunce Isn't this the basis of a Ulysses contract?

@brc20punk "The design supports a tremendous variety of possible transaction types that I designed years ago.  Escrow transactions, bonded contracts, third party arbitration, multi-party signature, etc."

@brc20punk @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz I see #Bitcoin as more of an axiomatic design - and it's public domain that Satoshi asked for help with the coding - but we also know Nash had enough understanding of C++ to kick it off.

Will let you know the article link. It's currently with the Bitcoin Magazine editorial guys.

[The Game Theory Guys @GameTheoryGuys]

@brc20punk @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz This is how Satoshi framed the Birthday Attack and #Bitcoin if you've not already read. I like the "eat crow" comment in it later down the page, as if he's an older computer scientist and got his crow and pigeon metaphors mixed up? 😆

@brc20punk I like the pigeon metaphor - not thought of it like that @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz with respect to the Birthday Attack #Bitcoin ☝️

@dg115511 @WaterTheRust Ironic, was reading the obituary of Francis Coppola's wife earlier this morning - apparently she made a documentary on the film which ran out of actors, money, and helicopters.

[The Game Theory Guys @GameTheoryGuys]

@brc20punk A summary of Leslie Lamport's Byzantine Generals' Problem might also be relevant here, and also the Birthday Attack - both of which Satoshi addressed in various postings with regards to his #Bitcoin design.

@dg115511 It's just you

@WaterTheRust Didn't know Ghengis originated that one? 😃

"I feel, personally, that the study of experimental games is the proper route of travel for finding “the ultimate truth” in relation to games as played by human players."
