mircea_popescu: as annoying as b c etc might be they're mostly minor and could be fixed by
a further patch.
a however is
a killer, and colors both b and c in similar tones, because it betrays the fundamental problem with this patch : it doesn't flow from
a structured approach given in depth consideration, but merely from your desire to help and impressive stamina.
mircea_popescu: so basically polarbeard here's the thing : i considered signing this, and i will consider signing the next version. as it is however i won't do that, because
a) not all errors have both flags set ; b) occasional ' in error message ; c) occasional losing
a valuable datapoint (such as the hash above) or missing on adding
a useful one (nStart).
☟︎ mircea_popescu: + strError += strprintf("tx requires
a tx fee of at" << this is logging exempt ?
mircea_popescu: "
a man pretending to be
a woman pretending to be
a man pretending to be..."
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is
a step up or
a step down from power ranger.
adlai: mircea_popescu: biggest derpitude is that we're discussing on irc
a reddit conversation about
a tweet linking to
a blog
adlai: so along with
a fee market, we also get
a spam market
adlai: ben_vulpes: fwiw i still believe it's
a bad idea to discourage this kind of "speculative soft fork"... it makes it easier for experimenters to put their money where their mouth is, and puts on
a good show for "conservatives" who remain in plain good old Bitcoin
ben_vulpes: jurov: i committed violence to asciilifeform's original v in
a harebrained attempt to add tests, was roundly caned for the violence, left his implementation to him and hared off to reimplement in cl.

ben_vulpes: is this the sort of thing that *must* be implemented as
a fork of the existing chain?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it is
a very interesting proposal.
mod6: be back in
a few to sort out the patches that need re-grind after I submit the integrated programmable-version-strings vpatch and the reground mikehearn one
mircea_popescu: technically, as per catholic doctrine, jesus must have been
a crypto guy.
mod6: i didn't know he was
a crypto guy
mod6: in the case of v, if she had created
a patch, and she was the only one who signed it and her key expired tomorrow, well, someone better grok it and sign it who's in the current lordship
mircea_popescu: so basically key expiration as
a concept is broken, in that it induces
a wrinkle between phenomena and representation.
mircea_popescu: mod6 vaguely unrelated points. the owner's death guarantees
a key with an expiration date will expire ; it also guarantees the trust for it needn't ever be updated - dead men tell no lies.
mod6: so if i get hit by
a bus, and alf has signed all the patches, then you're ok as long as you trust alfie. or vice versa.
mod6: i thought ben_vulpes made
a lisp deal?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'From the court filing for his recent arrest it looks like this was
a fairly clever trap set for Bridges. <<< heh.
mod6: so even though I was able to press out shiva, et. al.; it might be worthwhile to make
a list of which patches need to be included to make it work.
jurov: imo designing something that forces miner to have fast random access to all whole blocks is
a cryptographical challenge

mircea_popescu: think about it lol. it didn't just fall from the sky, it's
a construct!

pete_dushenski: "While serving
a sentence in his 9’x6′ prison cell, Coss lost 70+ lbs. in just six months. From that experience, Coss refined
a unique fitness program combining fun cardiovascular, aerobic, and running exercises and now he has brought this exercise program back to New York City."
pete_dushenski: "The story behind the workout is almost as good as the workout itself: Coss Marte developed
a unique and effective exercise program without the need for any equipment while doing his time. and now he helps you to do yours."
BingoBoingo: One that's not as orthotic as you'll need after pantagruel spends
a decade using you as
a thing to climb on
pete_dushenski: i started around 13yo, peaked in '09 when i won the club championship at one of the two most competitive private clubs in town. only play two, maybe three times
a year now as i find it
a bit abusive to swing that hard now and can think of
a several books i'd rather read with 6 hours of continuous time.
pete_dushenski: though most take it up in their 20s and 30s because they're
a) bored and need the frustration, and b) need to play for 'business' reasons on account of many alrger firms having annual tournaments.
pete_dushenski: it's quite popular here with all ages. my theory is that it has
a similar swing plane to hockey, which is the ~most~ popular, and works well as
a seasonal alternate.
pete_dushenski: "So that is
a long way of saying that Callaway has reshaped the Speed Step on the crown of the XR 16 driver, but at least you now know that
a whole lot of thought and time has gone into it from the best brains from two of the top aerodynamic engineering companies around. The result is the XR 16 driver that has
a 30% lower head drag and
a 10% lower face drag than the original XR driver."
http://www.golfalot.com/Portal pete_dushenski: not like aerodynamic performance matters in the slightest when you're joe average swinging his driver at 75 mph, but hey mr. tourstar who swings at 110+ mph notices
a difference, however marginal, and that's good enough for joe !
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 20:06:49; ascii_butugychag: having it with somebody who understands nothing of how his civilization is put together, to whom flashlight, pc, boeing, are equally magical - is
a snore.
BingoBoingo: Intel for
a while did their own thing, but I am unsure if they still do.
BingoBoingo: Anyways my take on the SSD market is the stuff Samsung is willing to brand as theirs is the safest in
a longevity way. Who the fuck knows which is least likely to have evil baked in.
danielpbarron: or more than one; does it make sense to make
a raid? and for that matter what's the right thing to buy for that?
jurov: ok. anyway, should be not hard to have
a bit in the index saying tx has all otutputs spent with 1000... confirmations
ascii_butugychag: (when it becomes known that asking for old blocks makes you spin
a motor)
assbot: Zotamedu comments on Bitcoin core will soon replace the industry standard random number generator with
a homebrew script. Sorry for your loss (of entropy) ... (

pete_dushenski: aha. good to know as i'm on the hunt for
a new node hard drive and, given this, might as well spring for ssd.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 19:56:14; ascii_butugychag: imho spinning rust is
a losing proposition for any node.
trinque: felipelalli: that is
a good thing; this present round of woes shall be rememdied in
a few days, I think. trb node shall have reached the top. It's at about 385k right now
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag seeing how there's memory leaks... not
a bad bet.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: actually i would be only slightly surprised if prb could be persuaded to jmp into
a block.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: actually it will be
a massively-parallel sort of affair
mircea_popescu: and mind that while in no means do i propose this is "Asic resistant", from
a designer perspective you must appreciate i'm giving you
a fun job to do.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 19:29:18; ascii_butugychag: ;;later tell mircea_popescu in what sense is adoptinc keccak
a rejection of usg standards? it was actually adopted as sha3...
mircea_popescu: alf built himself
a house shaped like
a boat and is now waiting!
BingoBoingo: I suspect this will magically emerge as
a surpise on some pseudorandom weekend
BingoBoingo spz's that Shiva is probably the right place to get
a less retarded wallet to talk to Bitcoin node.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside they're trying to pass off
a 70 cent chinese bit of crap for 20 bux in
a poor country que no es un pais pobre : why the fuck bother to have
a dozen shops then ?!
mircea_popescu: in other news : mp decides new heels and dress would go very well with
a shiny-red lacquered leather ball gag. proceeds to inquire with
a dozen or so sex shops in the farming town. they ALL have the same exact item.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag sounds more and more like it's
a petraeus job.
ascii_butugychag: ncluding one that Bridges created on October 28, 2015 after he had pleaded guilty in this case;
a Samsung cell phone; and
a thumb drive. Also located in those bags were documents relating to his wife’s, Ariana Esposito’s, attempts to obtain citizenship in another country. Government agents also found
a MacBook with the serial number scratched off, an ipad tucked between
a bedroom mattr
ascii_butugychag: 'During the execution that warrant, and based on facts that remain under seal before this Court, the government recovered the following items: two “pelican style” bags which contained: identity documents;
a passport card in Bridges’ name;
a notarized copy of Bridges’ passport; corporate records for at least 3 different offshore entities ranging from Nevis to Belize to Mauritius, i
BingoBoingo: Anyways much more news today than late last month. 4 newses and
a report in the first 22 hours of February.
assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 16:37:35; asciilifeform: let's have
a programmer, of some skill, no social net, no savings, pays 100K rent to make 120K in some godforsaken saltmine, in usa
felipelalli: danielpbarron, Daniel is
a very common name in Brazil. Are you Brazilian?
ben_vulpes: at this rate the only time i'm going to come back is with
a 5 yo and
a 2 yo to escape election season
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you ever end up in here again ima buy you
a pound of this stuff :D
mircea_popescu: it's
a little place with no particular name down by the end of santa fe
felipelalli: <mircea_popescu> how is
a bitfield in the gpg key help you in case you die ? or lose control of the key ? neither of these are time-able events. << well, thank you.
ascii_butugychag: other than the basic fact of it being
a caltrop against folks who want to 'lose' the blockchain, i mean
mircea_popescu: you don't see how it's
a step or how it's the right direction ?
mircea_popescu: what, finally can buy
a sane cpu because bitcoin miners ?
mircea_popescu: "everything seems ripe for the picking to the man with
a good pickaxe"
mircea_popescu: PeterL nobody who wants
a bitcoin-without-the-bitcoin thing would like that proposal. that's fundamentally why it's there, to readily distinguish people seeking to help from people seeking to help us hang ourselves.
mircea_popescu: PeterL there's
a selection of different people there but ok.
ascii_butugychag: aha, seems like
a 'let's rent out space inside my nose' situation

mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag exactly.
a very minimal sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag note that it's not my scheme not
a coin nor anything. it's just
a minimum bar.
PeterL: do we still have
a ddosser on newbs/uncloaked?
schmidty: has anyone ever aggregated the viewpoints here into
a sort of dogma or similar for the new followers?
