asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, it decays. but this is why the young apprentice must copy film he inherits, etc. [insert post-apocalyptic hypotheticals]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: film lasts a good while, easy to copy and compare via low tech means
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do confess that at one point i toyed with the idea of rom-like storage on consumer 35 (or 16)mm film.

hdbuck: mircea_popescu im not taking anything personnally, i really appreciate your inputs man.. the average propaganda almost got me with their Carebears and unicorns. i'd rather being insulted for my stupidity than thrown a lollipop in my mouth ^^
mircea_popescu: diametric> mircea_popescu: thats probably a good idea to start doing. perhaps keep it on a usb stick on my keys or something, gets updated when i plug it in. << or on a 4 redundant raid array, under concrete.
hdbuck: mircea_popescu hum i dont, just wondering here and there.. looking for answers :)
hdbuck: mircea_popescu i get your point, but i aint seing Bitcoin being rightfully centralised ATM.
princessnell: mircea_popescu right vs wrong centralism is what my article tomorrow is about. but as you know i am a gentle touch.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one day, people will encode checkpoint hashes of blockchain as human poetry.
hdbuck: mircea_popescu hey man, hum its just i was kinda concerned with supernodes and the people that will run them once the BC's size would be too big for the average person to handle.
diametric: mircea_popescu: thats probably a good idea to start doing. perhaps keep it on a usb stick on my keys or something, gets updated when i plug it in.
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Bit-c looks like it is headed somewhere nice, but it's useful to compare how all of these things are approaching the SPV problem
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Good place to start would be forking an older version of Multibit and BitcoinJ watching out for slop
benkay: i'm highlighting that in a worst case scenario it's not a problem and also as Mats_cd03 and i have and keep pointing out - not a problem to begin with even.
hdbuck: mircea_popescu hello MP, thx for the voice up, i came here with the hope you could help me apprehend that blockchain size issue (& considering it is an issue). been reading tons of articles about that and people talks about 'industrial' supernodes and/or 'restructuring' Bitcoin.. cant make up my mind whether thats good or bad tho. any inputs? :)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: advantage of making both in same batch -> you do it whether you want to or not. process yield.
punkman: ;;later tell mircea_popescu a silly example, me and dignork both make a 1btc transaction to each other, but we can only spend them after the bitbet oracle signs the transaction
punkman: mircea_popescu: why?
dignork: mike_c: maybe only subset of bets, which can be automatically verified, these bets are submitted without review, less work for bitbet op, more monies for turnover
mircea_popescu: mike_c: idk, i'm not in the 'everything should be free' camp. << but the camp is "nothing should be amazon"
dignork: mike_c: i think it's possible to make a multisig fund, where each oracle op drops some funds, these funds are deal insurance, but I didn't think it through completely
dignork: mircea_popescu: they open sourced their current code in git, assuming free security reviews, stopped watchig after that
jurov: mircea_popescu: that was 7 or so years ago, google worked as advertised then
dignork: mike_c: the git thing?
