kakobrekla: actually this somewhat fixes "bitcoin is too accessible" as the requirements to include tx in
a block are having your own block producing setup
nubbins`: danielpbarron if your interest in
a subject is predicated on who else is interested in it, then i have no sensible response
nubbins`: if mp no longer finds
a use for btc, i'm eagerly awaiting the liquidation of all mpex assets
shinohai: Not
a lord here, but I have
a lot of time invested in trb and I agree with danielpbarron.
danielpbarron: it's not like the code is something wonderful to behold. The only thing it had going for it was that some important people found
a use in it for
a time
nubbins` is
a bit surprised that more lords aren't concerned about mp's shame leading him to proposing an altcoin as the way forward
nubbins`: in fact, no rebuttal to sturles' explanation was offered -- just
a lot of gnashing about "but that's crazy!"
danielpbarron: nubbins`, it looks like you're the one throwing
a tantrum, and it "shouldn't work that way" is the general complaint in here against bitcoin for some time now. this event was more like the last straw kinda thing
nubbins`: you'd think it'd be
a big deal
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from 2 to -1 with note: tinpot dictator, throws tantrums when embarrassed. petulant and unwilling to admit error in the face of overwhelming evidence.
a poor example of how
a lord should behave. great for milking
a few BTC from, but otherwise avoid.

nubbins`: "little tiny bugs shouldn't be able to hurt
a hyooman!"
nubbins`: if that's
a "theory falling apart", i'd like to see you guys take on gravity, or germ theory
trinque settles in to catch up on
a weekend of l0gz
mircea_popescu: is there
a good source to document how you convert from these ?
nubbins`: if ever there was an indication that mp stopped giving
a fuck about anything but spending the usd he cashed his btc out into, this is it
nubbins`: aaaand ftr i meant what i said about being relieved of duties, imagine sending
a 17btc tx out into the wild and then /sending the same amount of money again from
a different address/
nubbins`: seems pretty obvious that in
a huge backlog of transactions, one of them is going to be the lowest priority
nubbins`: sorry guys, anyone who thinks MP's explanation makes more sense needs their head checked at
a trauma hospital
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to talk to redditards i'd make
a reddit account.
mircea_popescu: you'll be on my ignore list. if you actually have something to say find
a lord to play telephone, but ideally spare me.
nubbins`: or, y'know, bitcoin is dead because
a chinese mining cartel is selectively blocking BITBET PAYOUTS.
mircea_popescu: there's no "logical rebuttal". you have some facts, go write
a theory. maybe i'll bother reading it. seeing who it comes from, probably not. that's all.
nubbins`: do you suppose maybe there were other 0-fee high priority transactions floating around at that time? hmm? check out
a graph of the mempool size
nubbins`: like talking to
a bag of hammers
nubbins`: because there was
a lineup for the cheap seats because of the mempool flood
nubbins`: advertising 0-fee tx's in
a mempool flood is
a DOS attack
☟︎ nubbins`: you're sniffing glue if you think
a cartel withholding bitbet payouts is the simplest explanation
mircea_popescu: but congrats on being the nth lazy thinker who has
a simple theory in his head, cut ~80% of the facts or so that fit it, and is ready to reddit about the matter.
nubbins`: or, y'know,
a cartel blowing their cover by fucking with bitbet payouts.
nubbins`: listen, i'm
a high priority customer at Mr. Rooter
danielpbarron: i don't see how
a "mempool flood" should effect
a high priority transaction.. or was the flooder sophisticated enough to have created all the inputs long ago so that they too would be high priority?
nubbins`:
a 0-fee tx during
a mempool flood is like expecting to hitch
a free ride from turkey to macedonia

nubbins`: if there's only so much space in
a block for 0-fee tx's, and the mempool is overflowing, obviously it's gonna take days for your 0-fee tx to get put into
a block, even if everyone knows about it
danielpbarron: i guess this falls into the "well what the heck is the protocol, oh right there isn't one" category. How do you know
a miner will choose
a high fee tx over
a high priority tx?
jurov: but in the course of this, i got an idea, is there
a small lisp/scheme implemented in ada?
nubbins`: "really proud of klye for [selling t-shirts calling himself
a fuckup in an attempt to recoup blistering losses from an earlier scam]"
nubbins` was "ios developer" for short stint, earned
a free ipad from sales of app

a valid Mac app development certificate; therefore, it was able to bypass Apple’s Gatekeeper protection."
nubbins`: which prob had
a developer account for pushing bespoke apps to company handsets

a failing on my part

BingoBoingo: Why be another allah snackbar weather event when one has
a plague to spread is the point?
BingoBoingo: Entering into the record the end of pretending US minor socialist party is
a thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the weather in b-
a fixed itself, tis very pleasant, the steaks still here, by all means.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 19:15:25; BingoBoingo: brb gotta learn programmaring so can be of use when prototype emerges from

assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 18:41:13; mod6: As shitty as all of this is, I think we're in
a unique position now to actually resolve all of these issues that have been plaguing us from the beginning.
mircea_popescu: the joke being of course that any serious designer is exactly
a bee-dog.
mircea_popescu: somehow it became
a term of endearment for alf and especially alfisms.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 04:23:11; mircea_popescu: omfg alf sees the world like
a bee-dog : in black and white and all pixelated.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 18:39:43; mod6: i saw beedog coin mentioned earlier, is this just
a madeup name for next-coin?
mod6: but would be cool just to meet and get around and discuss these things infront of
a blackboard or whatever.

a de-facto ADA book?
BingoBoingo: brb gotta learn programmaring so can be of use when prototype emerges from

☟︎ BingoBoingo: So what if it takes 5-10 years to gain mass traction as opposed to the couple hours
a hardfork crisis would resolve in

assbot: Logged on 07-01-2015 02:35:36; asciilifeform: the notion of 'trustworthiness' as
a scalar is fundamental to scamatrons of all stripes.
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2014 04:36:33; asciilifeform: eventually people's brains will grow and they will stop thinking of market value as
a scalar.
mircea_popescu: try another : every morning when i wake up now, i read the log. this, i like. if i were using your coin, every morning when i woke up, i would conceivably be greeted by
a list of notifications : "group X has now split. in five. would you like to name the shards or ignore the shards, for each shard ?"
