asciilifeform: and asked for change
asciilifeform: or the jew from mircea_popescu's old tale, who dropped a cheque into a grave
asciilifeform: no shortage of these
asciilifeform: or them
asciilifeform: wtc-burning of currencies
asciilifeform: etc
asciilifeform: and audience!
asciilifeform: with great fires! and lights! and mega-persuasive camera crews!
asciilifeform: aha, that one
asciilifeform: http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/networks/the-crazy-security-behind-the-birth-of-zcash << quality circus material, via jurov .
asciilifeform: !#s zcash
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu correctly said -- snoar
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: these 'motherland cried TO US, HER SAVIOURS!' clips are a dime a dozen.
asciilifeform: ah then! then.
asciilifeform: stuck to your shoe?
asciilifeform: then how the fuck did you pick up this rubbish
asciilifeform: ( i did not even know he spoke ru )
asciilifeform: anyway, mentioned strictly because ben_vulpes unearthed .
asciilifeform: 'Если русский мужик в безысходности пьёт, / Если наглый джигит как добычу берёт / Дом отцовский его, и сестру, и жену — / Это значит, что нам объявили войну. / Это значит, что скоро война.' << sufficient sample.
asciilifeform: that was just the band's name.
asciilifeform: http://amdm.ru/akkordi/kontrrevolyciya/137409/eto_znachit_chto_skoro_voyna/ << lyrics.
asciilifeform has no ready translation , but imho ^ is 'best of genre'
asciilifeform: ^ 'it means that soon, war'
asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc-KpbX-6w8 << better clip on same theme.
asciilifeform: horses are just generic positive picture.
asciilifeform: that'd be ukrs.
asciilifeform: nope
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not overtly.
asciilifeform: in this film, 'we will kindle, fuck you, we will kindle, they will knife us and we will live, lands of the ancestors, etc, etc'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is context, 'kindling' is the catchword in ru penal code for 'hatespeech' ('kindling discord between nations')
asciilifeform: dyver∫e ∫orte∫ of chyldren!
asciilifeform: ( 'supernumerary children' (tm) (r) ( mircea_popescu's articles ) )
asciilifeform: that's for the young set
asciilifeform: (or, less commonly, household beasts)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought that normally they fucked little chillenz or similar
asciilifeform: he's that kind of 3111117 d00d.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i bet herr dokror w fucks baby pandas , and gets away with it.
asciilifeform: thing shows up as ~three mice when plugged in!
asciilifeform: historically accurate to the point of wtf -- even radio controls (what good are they in a sim?) are there. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and, unrelatedly, asciilifeform reluctantly admits that (american! early 2000s) 'cougar' game joystick is mighty fine. 1:1 sized replica of 'f16' controls, everything made from iron, even buttons. quite pleasantly surprising. almost like piece from different era, when even toys were made honestly.
asciilifeform: d00d has own cult, 'with blackjack! and hookerz!'
asciilifeform: so not necessarily Herr Doktor
asciilifeform: but last i heard there's 300+ bodies in there
asciilifeform pictures herr wolfram reading the article about him, and going 'neinneinneinneiennein!1111, banging head'
asciilifeform: in other lulz, latest visitors to my www, and then to nosuchlabs: employees of Wolfram Co.
asciilifeform: imho actual moneys are in different conceptual category than coulda-shoulda-woulda-moneys, but perhaps that's just me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would that be in actual btc-that-usg-somehow-had ? or in 'could-have-hads' (riaa-style accounting..?)
asciilifeform: academitards get paid in turkeydollar?! where?
asciilifeform: (and 100,000x -- to rubyism and other unthinkable rubbish)
asciilifeform: easily 1000x the sweat went to haskell.
asciilifeform: dunno that hitler ever goes 'all in', the moneys (however counted) spent on, e.g., haskell, dwarf the ethertard lab budget 100+x
asciilifeform: and so various folks, who oughta know better, bet on him.
asciilifeform: the exact moment when hitler runs out of furniture to burn, is ~unknowable
asciilifeform: drainin' other folxs' batteries.
asciilifeform: it is how hitlers are powered, after all.
asciilifeform: drain the battery, if you will, that mircea_popescu et al charged.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hitler dun wanna settle for 'burn own citizenry', that's trivial already. he wants to dekulakize mircea_popescu et al.
asciilifeform: we haven't really had many of'em, to learn from.
asciilifeform: but it is strange to speak of an 'average case' for phorkwarz.
asciilifeform: it is best-case. average-case will also involve a forest fire that singes ~everybody.
asciilifeform: (specifically, a node where somebody touched the hot wire, will accept blocks that other, traditional nodes, will not. and/or reject blocks with they ~will~. definitionally - forktronic.)
asciilifeform: that may or may not get forked at a particular time, but now ~is~ forkable, leaving you and anyone dumb enough to use your patched btctron on the -- almost certainly -- losing end.
asciilifeform: as soon as you touch the hot wire, you now have a 'schrodinger's blockchain'
asciilifeform: (for n00bz) http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-30#1594162 << it is important to actually go the gedankenexperiment, in one's mind, and understand why it cannot be fixed. ☝︎
asciilifeform: *sleight
asciilifeform: the exact equivalent of meatspace circus sleigh-of-hand.
asciilifeform: or, far earlier, basic stage magic.
asciilifeform: it is textbook heartbleediste misdirection.
asciilifeform: but at any rate, this threatrical blinkenlight assemblage is simply to distract from the fact that the check IS NOT ENFORCED!
asciilifeform: otherwise interpreted as epochtime.
asciilifeform: arbitrarily, the comparison is only even performed if the magic is below LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD ( http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h#0042 )
asciilifeform: (spoiler: it comes from your system clock +/- the voodoo delta that trb comes up with using peers)
asciilifeform: also if you'd like more joy in life, look at where 'nBlockTime' comes from.
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform: don't think enemy doesn't know which wires are hot. he -- knows.
asciilifeform: because it's '3rd rail.' they change ~any~ semantics, and -- bang -- forkable.
asciilifeform: they daren't. yet.
asciilifeform: davout: see a few min ago. link. it was not touched in prb10.
asciilifeform: that's the end of the line, where this train goes, yes.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: the ~appearance~ of rules, where there is only promises.
asciilifeform: this is the liquishit 'softness' of 'softforks'.
asciilifeform: 'ummm looksy here'
asciilifeform: 'see! we enforce it!'
asciilifeform: and yes, this crapola is typical
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is called, in this case, 'underhanded c'
asciilifeform: the fallthrough case is 'true'.
asciilifeform: AND the blocktime thing. it recurses.
asciilifeform: nope, that condition only gets unmet if any INPUT is nonfinal
asciilifeform: davout: all tx that live in a block must be 'final' yes
asciilifeform: because the bomb ~could~ drop ~tonight~.
asciilifeform: and observe, http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510563 , the prb idiots did not ever dare to introduce eggoging-on-locktime-violated. because that there'd be a phork ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510547 << prev. thread re subj. ☝︎
asciilifeform: nor a block containing said 'violator' tx.
asciilifeform: ergo no trb node will ever reject a tx for reasons pertaining to 'locktime' garbage.
asciilifeform: afaik all real-life tx are 'final'.
asciilifeform: observe also, http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/ident?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option&_i=IsFinal
asciilifeform: carefully follow the logic.
asciilifeform: the ONLY branches on it, are here: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0435
asciilifeform: davout: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/ident?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option&_i=nLockTime
