Clearing in a wide non homogeneous market is a challenge. Our approach to clear without novation and in privacy preserving way is opening the opportunity to do it.

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding.

(E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?)

Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

Cycles: Respect the Graph The Open Clearing Protocol.

With EthDenver coming up, thinking about one pattern I’ve noticed in my day job working in blockchain/web3, when chatting about favorite projects, I mention cycles.money and the white paper by @tomashirstecon.bsky.social @buchmanster.bsky.social. I explain Cycles' Liquidity saving and CoFi MTCS

Color Wheels are wrong? How color vision actually works Artists say all colors are a mixture of red, yellow, and blue. But physics and TV screens and printers disagree. How does color really work?

You think “orange” and “brown” are objectively two different colors.

But actually, the 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 color is seen as either “orange” or “brown” depending on what other colors surround it.

Color is more in our brains than you think:

Luca Pacioli - Wikipedia

"Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni e Proportionalità in Divina Proportione" by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_Pa... is still surprisingly relevant. Following basic principles allowed us to differentiate between stock and flow clearly. Essential for the Cycles protocol design!

Thanks @fusiona.bsky.social for this analysis of the Cycles white paper. You are spot on!

We are referencing earlier proposals for multilateral settlement. To build it, we are looking even further back. We are building on the basic principles of double-entry accounting as defined by Luca Pacioli.

How about organising a trade credit clearing club? Non-payment is often due to gridlock in the trade credit network, which is invisible to its participants.

Beavis and Butt-Head’s take on the $100 story:

With $1 each, Butt-Head buys a candy bar from Beavis, who uses the money to buy one for himself. They pass dollars until all bars are “sold.” Same hustle, more stupidity. 🍫😂

The Tale of the $100 Bill &nbsp; Image by Gage Skidmore via Flickr By now we’ve probably all been forwarded a version of the tale of the $100 bill that single handedly wiped out lots of debt. In case some readers haven’t seen ...

Well-known story:

A traveller leaves a $100 bill at a hotel, sparking a chain of debt repayments.

My version of the ending:

Ultimately, he reclaims the bill and uses it to light his cigar—it was fake! 💵🔥
