spyked: trinque, yeah, I'm actually playing with cl-feed-parser
to get an idea of what's required for
the feed bot, going
to spec it and all. I grabbed it off
the githubs (
https://github.com/tkych/cl-feed-parser ) and
the number of dependencies is irksome, so if you happen
to know a better alternative other
than building my own, I'm open
to suggestions
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of danielpbarron from 1
to 3 << his worship
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of hanbot from 2
to 4 << legendary valkyrie
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of mike_c from 3
to 1 << lost, but not forgotten
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of lobbes from 3
to 3 << staunch sapper
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of mod6 from 4
to 5 << foundation co-chair
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of
trinque from 4
to 6 << against every creature, living or dead
deedbot: ben_vulpes updated rating of mircea_popescu from 4
to 5 << master of
the realm
trinque: could probably pretty easily bolt your cl-feed-parser
to ircbot
trinque: spyked: any chance you want
to do mircea_popescu's requested RSS bot? I've got plenty on my plate as it stands.
trinque just ran
the same command as from cron, pretty weird
trinque: gotta figure out why
the cron job keeps getting stuck.
trinque left an experimental walletless
trb running on
that box
spyked: hey
trinque,
the front page of deedbot.org shows "Bot's address: [...] (balance {u'message': u'Method not found', u'code': -32601})" on 2nd line. looks outta
the ordinary.

tells you just about nothing if you do not have any existing
trust of any of
the people who wrote
the item you are 'looking up' in.
lobbes: I was going
to hop on
to state
this very point, but alf beat me
to it so I will simply underline and point
to
trilema article referenced
twice above. My own
trust for various people (read: cryptographically backed identities) in here was not immediate, but evolved over
the 4 years I've spent interfacing with said people. >>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797719 ☝︎ avgjoe: and
the logs in
these days :D
ben_vulpes: and what do you do with all
that spare
time
avgjoe: no, it's a easy/fake study
to have more spare
time keeping government grants
☟︎ avgjoe: after seeing
that raiblocks was just some random coin, i
tried
to understand better bitcoin and found
trilema as a very valid starting point, no-frills like,
to use bitcoin in a responsable manner
avgjoe: and a couple of months ago i was lucky
to cash out in bitcoin
the crazy (at least for me) amount generated by solving captchas
ben_vulpes: well it's more of a nineties yahooforum pink sheet stock but
that's neither here nor
there
avgjoe: then
this coin has gained popularity for supposed scalability features
that i've never investigated
avgjoe: basically a coin
that was given
to lazy people
that solved captchas
avgjoe: i'm a student, I've discovered bitcoin
thanks
to raiblocks
trinque: avgjoe: you didn't introduce yourself
though. so go ahead
trinque is fine with putting it, so long as avgjoe here reads
that WoT article.
trinque: note
that a horde of
titties just came
through and used
the
thing on
the basis of knowing douchebag
trinque: someone will have
to make
the argument in favor of average joes
avgjoe: that's would be nice,
then it's up
to
the average joe
to look up
the history and wot
ben_vulpes: puts one miles ahead of eg localbitcoins, puts
the personal aspect of
trust front and center.
trinque: depends on whether I
think people oughta come in
through existing users, or not
ben_vulpes: trinque: dude has a point, self-referential
though it might be faq.html would benefit from an "i am
trinque, and have been running
this service for members in good standing of
the #trilema wot and others before it since XXX"
avgjoe: i mean, ok, it works for noobs, but at
the same
time you don't know instantly who is managing
the keys
trinque: my point was
that you can't answer
the question of whether
to
trust me as you sit
there now
avgjoe: so if I understand correct: all
the deedbot functions are ready
to go for a newcomer, except for
the wallet function
that works well after having a good wot connection
trinque: wot updates and all
the rest are immediate
avgjoe: trinque: may I also ask, is just
the wallet feature
that need human presence or deedbot does other semi-auto functions?
trinque: asciilifeform: sure, maybe some guy
trusts me and I
think he's crazy
trinque: the web of
trust, being in it and forming connections, is
the proper way
to answer
the q
trinque: avgjoe:
the point being, while I can give you a lot of nice words about not stealing your bitcents,
this doesn't amount
to much.
avgjoe: why
the reverse show 1 connection?
trinque: !!gettrust ben_vulpes
trinque
avgjoe: ok, so as long as i see
trinque alive on irc i can feel safe about my
test bitcents on it
mircea_popescu: avgjoe it's exactly equivalent
to "segwit" except much less expensive.
☟︎ avgjoe: is a feature for doing off chain
transactions by
trusting
the human meat or i'm missing something?
trinque: only airgapped wallet, and human meat
that cuts
transactions
avgjoe: "Requests
that `amount` be withdrawn from your available balance and sent
to `to-btc-address`.
This step shall be performed by a human operator after reviewing account history. Expect at least one day of processing. Bitcoin
transaction fees shall be deducted from your account."
trinque: avgjoe: no,
there is no hotwallet
mircea_popescu: nobody cared about him back when he was a good actor 20 years ago as much as
they care now,
that he delivers wooden monologues of sheer nonsense.
mircea_popescu: morgan freeman is also worshipped now. why ? same reason. wolf-raised kids can't believe oldman is a
thing.
mircea_popescu: or w/e
the fuck.
the youth is desperate for adult figures, much like
the savage kids in
the us black ghetto.
mircea_popescu: goes
to
their silly little "polyamory" covens on campus and frowns paternally.
mircea_popescu: i know, i know. just saying, "we picked
the non-chosen candidates at random, go sue."
avgjoe: i supposed
that was an hot wallet feature
avgjoe: a curiosity about
the deedbot wallet feature: if i use
that feature, who is controlling
the keys?
mircea_popescu: !#s "Transgressing
the Boundaries:
Towards a
Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"
mircea_popescu: i dunno what your experience with "peer review" is, but as far as anyone involved is aware, exactly no review goes on in
those circumstances. see sokal & all.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 16:25 zx2c4: i havent compiled a list of Name+WrittenReview. maybe i should do
that
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797184 << you definitely should do
that, seeing how
the superficial "was reviewed" claim collapses upon
the most cursory scrutiny.
this is not a good state
to put yourself into, it makes it
too easy
to be painted with unflattering brushes.
☝︎ TrixxC: i brb
there is someone at door
mircea_popescu: but are you from uruguay ? because BingoBoingo
tells me you look uruguashan.
mircea_popescu: but if you look
through
that category ("la pas prin lume")
there's a
ton of various.
britknee: oh I will put
the word out
then
mircea_popescu: well, actually about
to go
to
the beach right now, but in general speaking.

the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came
to him as he sat hacking at
the PDP-6.
