fuddos: It looks like amazon blocks at least some of the ntp udp spam
BingoBoingo: Feed the comment spam to the RNG
mircea_popescu: you know all those "how to spam google ? ORIGINAL CONTENT!!1" advicey bits ? they're actually quite on point.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: background for that article: herr baggett came to my town once, and gave a public talk where he pitched a militantly idiotic 'startup' (nothing whatsoever to do with games, a weird proprietary, closed-source email client with 'new, exciting, unprecedented' spam filter that is a poor clone of 1990s state of the art)
asciilifeform assumed it meant 'running a net of spam proxies'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not impossible. amex spends a pretty penny on (what passes for) spam and crapware control.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: sorry for comment spam on trilema
assbot: Permanently keeping the 1MB (anti-spam) restriction is a great idea ... ... ( http://bit.ly/195slOf )

mircea_popescu: punkman depends how you select them. if well selected, something pretty cool i imagine. like, a world in which nobody is going to spam.
BingoBoingo: Another Mr Spam in the wild http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=142336024418555&w=2
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah he definitely exhibited that pattern. but my priors tend to 'random derp (maybe mr spam)' rather than 'usg agent'
IHB: so if we don't have the cap it is possible for a miner to load blocks up with spam? and this in turn will weaken the network?
asciilifeform: sic transit gloria spam-mundi then
Guest70720: hi now i can spam you like crazy for 30mins
asciilifeform: note to future stooges, moles: take some actual care to be distinguishable from comment spam on our www sites
danielpbarron: height=49141 and i'm getting lots of orphan spam, swap space is getting used now
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 07:23:19; punkman: phillipsjk: the 1MB limit is not to stop spam
BingoBoingo: <phillipsjk> It has and will change. The 1MB block limit was introduced to stop spam. You seem to be more militant than luke-Jr who called Bitcoin gambling sites spam. You appear to call all "trivial" transactions spam. << His definition of spam is both more complex and stupider than that
fluffypony: phillipsjk: the 1MB limit is not to stop spam.
ben_vulpes: phillipsjk: the 1MB limit is not to stop spam.

decimation: who am I gonna spam?
asciilifeform: 'only the dead shall see the end of spam'
mircea_popescu: spam is over ?!
asciilifeform: we already know about the spam farms. it's over.
asciilifeform does not normally repost spam, but this is a serious new (to him) page in spamatronics
asciilifeform: on account of winblows/spam
mircea_popescu apologizes for all the spam in the more important discussion.
mod6: PeterL: well, one thing they do, is prevent spam from bogus blocks from old timestamps: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.5.3/src/main.cpp#L1442
asciilifeform: this fella clearly read 'spam like a pro in twenty-one hours' !
asciilifeform: srsly, e.g., mr. spam ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the 2nd is particularly pernicious because of the "good enough" approach. "what do you mean bitcoin transactions can't be used to identify anything ? here's a list of derps we know for a fact, they're 50% of the blockchain spam" << Reasons to never use a public Electrum server for people wondering about "Lite" wallets.

Adlai: my main problem with "mr spam" was the high stock he placed in ideas
Adlai: spam indeed
asciilifeform: davout: i call him 'mr. spam' because he changed alias with some regularity. and promised to return one day under a yet-new one.
davout: asciilifeform: pardon my ignorance, but who is mr spam?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice how similar his flavour of muppetronics is to that of mr. spam
asciilifeform: hence ben_vulpes's astute observation, being that the spirit of mr. spam walked again from the grave
asciilifeform: like mr. spam!
STRML: We are a derivatives exchange for investors and speculators who are serious about the products they trade. I could give you the whole pitch but I don't want to spam the channel :)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: srsly, how often does one see word 'handbag' outside of spam.
asciilifeform almost failed to read 'handbags' because it lodged in his skullcase's spam filter
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: hey whose idea was it to prevent the network from relaying transactions outside of the context of blocks and was it really that good of an idea? << i think it's rudimentary spam control.
mod6: and in forward versions, there are a variety of other checks for orphan spam other than that.
Adlai: using a wot to reduce spam/noise
asciilifeform: it so happens that in usa, a landline phone is a spam magnet.
Apocalyptic: I can see a quite unpleasant spam attack otherwise
kakobrekla: he left? came only to spam his thing ? :|
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=we+major | we major isn't defined. Can you define it? Meaning ... Emails are sent from daily @urbandictionary.com. We'll never spam you. Questions? Feedback? powered ...
mircea_popescu: reddit has to shadowban users because spam. bitcoin-assets does not. because wot works and "Feedback" doesn't ? awww, who knew.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you actually do better by not even hiring a lawyer. << Personal bankruptcy differs in that you get a lawyer because it compells phone spam aggro to their number and not yours
asciilifeform: spammers abound, offering 'installs' or soliciting to spam by the pound
asciilifeform associates that company exclusively with spam
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha but you cannot really have this, unless you - in particular - or one of your peers - wants to create a public toilet for spam and give it peerage
asciilifeform: perhaps i ought to attend spam school.
scoopbot: New post on Qntra.net by cazalla: http://qntra.net/2015/01/changetip-spam-moves-beyond-twitter-youtube-reddit/
asciilifeform probably caught in spam/ddos trap
mircea_popescu: mike_c: and it is not unusual for it to catch humans << on the plus side, i get about 10-20 pieces of spam a day, which are pretty much all handcranked. the attepts are well in the 1000s/hr. on the - side, occasionally people complain about having to redo a comment / having lost a comment in the depths.
mircea_popescu: spam lol
mircea_popescu: "Money soon became worthless. We returned to an exchange. For a tin can of tushonka (think Soviet spam), you could have a woman. (It is hard to speak of it, but it is true.) Most of the women who sold themselves were desperate mothers."
mircea_popescu: mr spam meets neither qualification.
ascii_modem: see mr spam.
mircea_popescu: decimation: although one wonders why mr. spam targets this channel instead of -otc << this is worth something.
mircea_popescu: decimation: freenode seems to attract folks like mr. spam << has 0 to do with freenode. everything sweet attracts gnats.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr: BingoBoingo: tx fees != non-spam << o.O
decimation: yeah I'm being silly, hopefully mr. spam learned his lesson
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: Luke-Jr: 'spam' debate aside - how do you intend to filter the dice txes when the dicemeisters let go of the idiocy of reusing addrs ? <<< why idiocy ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: this "spam on the blockchain" is only a thing because blocks go unfilled for the most part << exactly.
decimation: lol re: mr. spam's email << me thinks the lady doth protest too much
asciilifeform: if anything, we've helped mr. spam's fiat credentials.
asciilifeform: just the same as mr. spam, or naggum's stalkers, in that they would regularly insist that 'they're done with' him and the 'pit' he dwelled in - but seemed to structure their entire waking lives around frequenting his haunts and crapping out abuse
asciilifeform: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3233665390989375_-_@naggum.net.html << another mr. spam of his
asciilifeform: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3219696842344424@naggum.net.html http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3219914234362460@naggum.net.html << naggum dealing with his own mr. spam
assbot: Fan Mail from Mr. Spam! - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1x7GmDP )
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> no ordinary spam. some bozo put in actual sweat for no immediately apparent purpose. << All spam involves those elements. This just takes it to a different level...
asciilifeform: no ordinary spam. some bozo put in actual sweat for no immediately apparent purpose.
Luke-Jr: kakobrekla: sure, but as long as some spam is easy to pick out, might as well
BingoBoingo: Or that apparently popes are spam too now
Luke-Jr: just spam
asciilifeform: mr spam rides again!
Adlai: If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Well, at least you are recorded in the WoT in a way other than Mr Spam is.
mike_c: ;;rate Anduck -1 spam-trolling. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-12-2014#958754 ☝︎
fluffypony: someone should change the default ircd builds on gentoo to include a spam filter
asciilifeform: decimation: i'll take mr spam's word re: him having been paid to vandalize #b-a rather than -otc
decimation: although one wonders why mr. spam targets this channel instead of -otc
decimation: what if mr. spam learns the ip of a friend?
decimation: asciilifeform: agreed, but it might be impractical. consider a 'firewall' that is checking mr spam's packets all day
decimation: freenode seems to attract folks like mr. spam
asciilifeform: so mr spam will walk them.
asciilifeform: anything mr spam can get $maxint of purely by perl script is useless
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I mean we have people apparently paying to send spam now!
danielpbarron: 12:07 <+Luke-Jr> danielpbarron: "spam" and "fee" have no direct relationship << yes they do. if I spend an old output, no fee required; i spend a new output with no fee, tx doesn't get spread
Luke-Jr: danielpbarron: "spam" and "fee" have no direct relationship
danielpbarron: Luke-Jr, how can a transaction be "spam" when it pays a fee?
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: Paying for a transaction is literally the definition of not spam.
