mircea_popescu: as long as "i did nothing wrong" at each successive point, you'll be
a happy dead man.
assbot: The necessary prerequisite for any change to the Bitcoin protocol on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 19:43:06; fluffypony: mostly in the context of "we should have invited him to add
a voice to this, but I doubt he'd come to the USA"
ben_vulpes: did i miss
a fork proposal for july that would nuke miner cartelization, or perhaps even pooled mining?
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 18:53:43; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: quite possibly cutting mining apart from transacting was
a design error.
fluffypony: but
a question of whether or not he was invited
fluffypony: I don't think there was
a question of whether or not he would come

a voice to this, but I doubt he'd come to the USA"
☟︎ fluffypony: mircea_popescu came up
a couple of times
fluffypony: so there's
a bucket of tens of thousands of outputs, and you routinely reveal outputs, so there's
a 100% chance you're going to mix with
a previously revealed output?
fluffypony: yes - so in any future transaction if you happen to use the same output in
a ring then one of those is out
fluffypony: all it does is allow
a recreation of the key images for that transaction in order to verify that you actually created it
fluffypony: but as to whether they can tell if
a transaction is yours, yes, that's something we solve
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 18:48:33; mircea_popescu: there's also the case of the retarded romanian workers who stuck
a compressed air outlet in the woman's vagina for lulz, ended up with
a fatality.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo? << was
a thing, don't recall exact link or quote
mircea_popescu: i myself am persuaded that's
a very accurate model of how "force air in oral cavity" would work.
mircea_popescu: by and large, quite happy with hitler. at least he's not english. then degaulle came up with
a piously fraudulent reinterpretation of the early 40s
mircea_popescu: kinda ironic how hitler never realised poland/ukraina/etc actually liked him
a lot more than saxony.
BingoBoingo: Or peril of naming yourself almost
a dictionary word
thestringpuller: sounds like
a temporary solutions with long term health side effects
BingoBoingo: ^ shinohai see above, maybe get
a blog to practice the writing thing on not-news so that you may better news.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell shinohai Fine. I'll show you how to juice that headline with
a story in under 100 words, just to intoduce
a target.
BingoBoingo: I mean the vacation that lets you afford other vacations. You know the one where you sit in
a cabin to make trb fork. Not full adacoin, but the possibility of adacoin.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe you are stuck between
a rock and
a need for vacation?
mircea_popescu: rajit imberdejit,
a 2nd vice-governor of uttar pradesh
mircea_popescu: kinda what i was going to say next, "don't worry too much, things have
a way of sorting themselves out"
mircea_popescu: no work done on satoshi codebase has yet been wasted, except that done for other people than us, or outside of b-
a.
mircea_popescu: as much as we'd love to suck our own cocks, while we readily agree TODAY that "should be so and so", we'd have had no such agreement
a decade ago.
BingoBoingo also doesn't recall seeing
a mats piece yet
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> jurov feel free to fuzz, crashing it every which way will make
a somewhat lulzy qntra piece << Jurov takes are always welcome
mircea_popescu: and honestly, what the everloving fuck do i care. bitcoin with mining cartel is literally, and i do mean LITERALLY just
a very slow, unreliable and expensive visa run by idiots.
mircea_popescu: strictly because the common man is an unrepentant imbecile proud of his imbecility, but that's
a secondary consideration.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin as it currently stands is
a very iffy proposition. it ~absolutely~ requires the bricking of current miners to have
a chance, and major protocol rewrites.
mircea_popescu: eh they have nfi what they're doing. classic is essentially
a social media campaign.
mircea_popescu: jurov feel free to fuzz, crashing it every which way will make
a somewhat lulzy qntra piece
jurov: "Bitcoin Classic is ready and being run in production today by
a number of bitcoin companies. Bitcoin Core has produced no such option that is production ready, and seems committed to putting out sub-optimal solutions that I described above."
mircea_popescu: just like should we look for places to poison mice, we'll go by the holes ; but should we look for
a hero mice to reward with
a wheel of cheese - we won't notice the holes.
punkman: maybe I should post
a reddit bounty
shinohai: Even if I had
a magical way to recover said BTC
mircea_popescu: "I am offering
a 14 Bitcoin Bounty leading to the arrest, conviction, AND return of my 28 Bitcoins that were stolen from me." << fancy that idiocy.
mircea_popescu: shinohai plox to offer short intro for redditard/other tard links. i ended up looking at that only to see that, typical for the mob, it's not any sort of bounty, but
a conditional offer predicated on the impossible.
shinohai: ;;later tell BingoBoingo I couldn't come up with
a lulzy enough filler for that story so gonna pass it on to whoever wants it.
mircea_popescu: it is when
a man ridicules the nuttery of singles marriage, openly, and doesn't entertain it, openly. it's some luxuries no us president ever had.
mircea_popescu: it is an institution. it is when
a man is invited to seat at
a table, and he explains that "you will have to seat five women, because i am not married - i am haremed."
mircea_popescu: norvig can, on the basis of his achievements such as they are, live
a life his father would have thought good enough for
a blue colar laborer.
mircea_popescu: this is why they gotta fucking come up with
a "cultural war" about sitting in the fucking bus.
mircea_popescu: why ~the fuck~ do you suppose the koreans gotta do ever more inane absurd shit ? isn't being
a korean bad enough ?
mircea_popescu: because he is, fundamentally,
a woman, of that miserable, medieval kind. you gotta beat her.
danielpbarron: heh, also tonight i learned that you do not want to squeeze
a kiwi, but I have not yet ruled out muddling
danielpbarron is now trying his first attempt at
a sort-of cantarina (sort-of because apparently it's supposed to have club soda, although I'm not sure if that's
a requirement, or if
a side-effect of most bars not having fresh grapefruit and use
a grapefruit flavored soda instead)
adlai: the "double spend" is quite
a oui-event, even if it was caused by pessimal interaction with eg sturles's node
