asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want the compiler to asm for you, vs. having to drop in a hex string and function ptr to it, compiler has to understand inline asm.

robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, are you working on an RNG project? Do you have a link?
robwhiz22: BingoBoingo, I didn't critique it. I don't know anything about any RNG project. I was just answering mircea_popescu's question, in which he quoted "and conversely objects which pass randomness tests must have high algorithmic complexity" and hten said "not familiar with the 'complex objects' in question.".

robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, did you 1) find my proposal among your emails now? 2) do you have an answer? I submitted it with the request that you review and answer within three business days, which I thought was reasonable.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I am not available for chatting much longer tonight.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: significantly lower
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm talking specifically about South Africa - our murder rate is mentioned in the article, ~30 per 100k vs Honduras at ~90 per 100k
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, I was quite surprised, the ex-pats have beaten the "murder rate in South Africa is the highest in the world" speech into everyone's heads we're starting to believe it ourselves

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: or Robert Mugabe's surprising resilience despite him probably being dead
dignork: mircea_popescu, sure, but so far bitcoin-otc based on WOT is the closest to OTC that I've seen so far
dignork: mircea_popescu, you said before that bitcoin-otc is irrelevant
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: we have a community here of < 500 people actively interested in Bitcoin, not just peripherally
benkay`: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/28/article-1315776-0B612CFF000005DC-268_468x519.jpg
mircea_popescu: http://media.realitatea.ro/multimedia/image/201310/w728/taranul_83111800.jpg << cash on forehead. fo reals.

nubbins`: http://www.osnews.com/story/27661/_Android_is_for_poor_people_
dignork: mircea_popescu, it's just a sensible default, which can be changed via weechat.look.paste_max_lines, same idea is implemented in some unixes by aliasing 'rm' to 'rm -i', just a default
dexX7: 1. metacoins and the utxo set: http://i.imgur.com/c9mpd8h.png, 2. what is way more "avoidable" than multisigs is the creation of multiple unspent outputs "to have free outputs ready" (@ xcp) x_x
danielpbarron: benkay: because OP_RETURN is too small to store counterparty data, they use multi-sig addresses instead, and that uses up memory
pankkake: I wonder if I can easily make my public nodes stop relaying OP_RETURN :)
danielpbarron: OP_RETURN is a place to store extra data in a transaction
benkay: what's the controversy over op_return?
danielpbarron: at the risk of starting the whole argument over again, the context is counterparty / mastercoin and the OP_RETURN controversy
danielpbarron: Mats_cd03: I don't mind it costing a lot, but it's insulting to say that using aliminum costs 2 BTC more than using plastic
danielpbarron: 2 BTC is ridic for an aluminium upgrade, Mats_cd03
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: +1 for lost-key safeguard process, that's clever
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: inexplainably is, inexplicably, not a word
nubbins`: ;;later tell mike_c cats? now I'M signing up for multiple accounts :D
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you still around?
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu is in high spirits today
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: not in South Africa
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: wrt not taking it seriously - not sure about other countries, but we have a new (2009) act here that says that a director will be liable for losses suffered by the company as a result of the director having taken or failed to act against certain unauthorised or unlawful actions and situations
mircea_popescu: mike_c: for instance, mp has a bunch of coins. they are not supply because they are not for sale. << they are supply even if they are not for sale. review Wickard v. Filburn :D
bounce: no definite answer, but a few possibilities: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/10/pgp_email_leak_mystery_snowden_greenwald/
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 so you're averaging your cost down :D
keonne: mircea_popescu: most of the trilema that's not written in vi is written in nano
keonne: mircea_popescu: <mike_c> yes, it's not like france where they just take your whole paycheck and give you a few dollars a week for coffee and cigarettes. << zing lmao. what you say nao pankkake ? huh ? huh ?
nubbins`: ;;later tell mike_c lel, eulorum.org is overrun with bot spam ;(

nubbins`: Mats_cd03: three-page application form. we didn't have to fill out the whole thing because we pay up-front with credit cards, but if you want to do net 30 etc, you have to provide business references and a ton of extra info
benkay: ;;later tell mike_c i guess the appropriate local metaphor would be "for those who prayed, dove through, and magically weren't sliced to bits by the chumpatron"
benkay: ;;later tell mike_c sometimes i think supply is constrained on the fiat -> btc pipe. if cash and reputation and connections are all you have, that's not a terribly wide pipe. perhaps there was something to gox' occasional ability to turn fiat wires into btc

benkay: mike_c: have you ever done the physics thing where you draw a circle around a system and label ins and outs?
