mircea_popescu: if tomorrow i go marry p diddy and dedicate my days to writing pop-rap, exactly nothing will have changed on this score.
mircea_popescu: but why am i so important anyway ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might just be the last free man left standing and i notice that he isn't in much of a hurry to fly into anything quite yet
mircea_popescu: not what i said in any sense.
mircea_popescu: i dun watch youtubeh.
mircea_popescu: which is why whether i bought a bitcoin for a dollar or for a thousand, my current holding value for a bitcoin is still whatever ELSE i could get for a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: mno. that pov is "pot-investment". ie, since i put 5 dollars in the pot, i own 5 dollars in the pot.
asciilifeform: then, unless i catastrophically misunderstand, you invested whatever it was that you paid.
mircea_popescu: but if you print them and i hodl them, i will be correct in saying that i invested their value in ftl flight.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1362174 << i can print and 'hodl' ten quintillion shares in an imaginary interstellar shipping company, does not bring ftl flight any closer ☝︎
asciilifeform: i misread as mircea_popescu having paid somebody 1kbtc to work on mircea_popescucoin.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1361874 << yeah i intend to. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: straightn out basic things such as "am i overweight" "what is rape" etc.
mircea_popescu: aha. i didn't say it was ridiculous, either.
asciilifeform: i mean, occasionally http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-12-2015#1351867 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: from where i sit it seems da same.
asciilifeform: though possibly today they take a shorter-leash approach, i have nfi.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1361860 << I couldn't get this pheature working in 0.7.x using 0.9 series code, ended up just making 0.7-ish low-s sign because malleation is annoying ☝︎
asciilifeform: why never 'i am filippo remora and i am tired of this shit, here is a copy of my marching orders and quarterlies for past 5 yrs'
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 15:46:58; ascii_butugychag: 'Filippo Valsorda. I'm Italian and I work on the CloudFlare Security Team in London. I built the public Heartbleed test and I mess with cryptography. Public speaker. Motorbike rider. Frequent flyer. Hacker School F'13.'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-01-2016#1361515 << aka "i'm a 100% remora working at attaching myself to the republic on behalf of the empire". ☝︎
asciilifeform: relative of mine once took - very worn - pair of american shit-shoes to an old ru emigre shoemaker, asked 'what he could do.' the wizened master replied: 'i can throw these out for you' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that said, i'm null for pouches. and "i know shoes" but not in the sense chicks usually mean.
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2015 01:19:34; mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
asciilifeform: i was thinking of emelda marques
asciilifeform: in which i'd rather not rearrange
asciilifeform: i don't hunt polar bears, either. and yes, i know that it is possible, provided that one rearranges his life in particular ways
asciilifeform: but if i took it up, would i need to study spam purses ?
asciilifeform: the intersection of females i give half a phuq about and the set that have any truck with l v is null
asciilifeform: in fact, for many years i had no idea what it referred to outside of spam.
asciilifeform: as far as i'm concerned, that string is an instant classifier for spammitude
asciilifeform: just like i will quite likely never, under any conceivable turn of events, give half a fuck about 'louis vuitton'
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 03:36:41; dbclk: and i like trading to be honest apart from the fact i'm loosing money
mircea_popescu: i see.
mircea_popescu: i do not understand.
asciilifeform: with what they bootstrapped the build, i do not know
asciilifeform: fwiw since i banned aws i get steady round-the-clock connections from cn. but i have no particular reason to think that they represent miners.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: last i visited kharkov, nice student chicks sat topless in the windows of the "student campus" buildings, 20 dollars.
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 00:45:07; asciilifeform: as a very wealthy usg-dod consultant once said to me, 'i don't give a flying fuck whether it is the democrats, the republicans, or the lesbians, who win'
mircea_popescu: if we admit this was deliberate rather than "oh look what i can do! &^*p!"
mircea_popescu: but i think merely the point that it's broken is worth stating. because apparently the people that understand it's broken didn't know it worked like this (me) and the people that knew how it worked... well... got seduced.
asciilifeform: i am in the process of working this transmogrification for pgp, a CONSIDERABLY simpler animal, and am astonished every day
mircea_popescu: no, i am in full agreement. it's not fixable for a while yet.
asciilifeform: even knowing how allergic mircea_popescu is to 'meta' and 'must X before Y', i will still say that items such as this remain because we do not have a clean operating room
mircea_popescu: all i'm sayin' is that the current "better" solution to that problem is a) worse and b) unspecifiedly so.
mircea_popescu: it's where it is! what am i to do ?
mircea_popescu: you're telling me the apple's up in the tree as if i was the one that put it there.
mircea_popescu: jurov dun hate on me just because i'm an asshole!
mircea_popescu: oh i stop counting the A's. 1-200 ?
mircea_popescu: if i were anyone else other than me i'd have a head the size of kamcheatka by now.
mircea_popescu: i am however convinced tghat i have no use for shit.
asciilifeform: i'm not convinced that rich people actually exist yet
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski re the missing reports : i do intend to publish them asap. been delayed by an assortment of issues such as argentinian power, bitbet adventures etc. they'll get there.
asciilifeform: i know more or less nothing about mircea_popescucoin, but from what i recall, the item he has now is the result of having attempted this very 'c0d3rz are fungible and 10s of k usd actually buys something' thing in the past, and ended up with... this
asciilifeform: and for all i know, some not-especially-talkative fella, perhaps even in the same shop where i work, is doing this
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1361822 << lulzily i just put in a long hard day laying the foundations of a provably-correct $boringwidget for $censoredrichfolks ☝︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 07-01-2016 00:06:03; mircea_popescu: i never afore today realised this braindamage is actually in there ;/
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 23:42:35; mircea_popescu: i am not in the business of debugging the blockchain, really. i am in the business of making payments. i can in fact prove that i did sign a transaction, from an address that had the coin, to the addresses that should get it.
kakobrekla: "send their total contents as follows" now i noted the 'total' - then you must never reuse an address. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is the correct format for a bitcoin transaction : "address i[1..n] send their total contents as follows : B1 to address j1, B2 to address j2, Bm to address jm. therefore signed."
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i'm not tracking prb.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla fancy, "use a backup". yes, i have backups. and how the fuck do i identify which payments of the HUGE batch of bitbet payments for end of year were made and which weren't, so i don't end up doublepaying ?
kakobrekla: i have not tested it yet but this is suppose to fix that
mircea_popescu: any other ideas while i'm throwing away money ?
kakobrekla: that was what i observed
kakobrekla: anyway i have a headache and im hungry so bbl.
mircea_popescu: i never afore today realised this braindamage is actually in there ;/ ☟︎
jurov: i messed that up as usual... so adgain: input is: a hash of a previous transaction + Index of the specific output in the referenced transaction.
mircea_popescu: i'm fucking queasy.
mircea_popescu: explain like i'm five omaigerd!
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i dun get it ?
kakobrekla: and i mean the change addresses
mircea_popescu: then you should say "i see a doublespend on your input for tx d8e60a0979024cce9159bd7b59594eae7dec627db5ac6bd088866afea533b0e9"
mircea_popescu: T is irrelevant for this discussion. i send btc to address x. this confirms. what t it has does not matter. i send btc from address x. this fails to be included.
mircea_popescu: in fact, if anything can change output address, or if a third party can invalidate a valid txn i signed, bitcoin is dead.
mircea_popescu: yes, when i issued the tx.
mircea_popescu: jurov the coins i used were confirmed.
kakobrekla: i fell in the same tarpit with not too long ago.
mircea_popescu: beyond this... what am i to do ?
mircea_popescu: i am not in the business of debugging the blockchain, really. i am in the business of making payments. i can in fact prove that i did sign a transaction, from an address that had the coin, to the addresses that should get it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the txn aren't chained. i don't do that.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i guess bitcoin has a problem then.
pete_dushenski: i wonder where he got the idea to use footnotes from...
BingoBoingo: I had no idea they were so diversified
BingoBoingo: I thought Husqvarna was the chainsaw and undersized tractor company
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu i suspect bb payouts were made with malleabled confirmed inputs and will never be mined for that that reason
mircea_popescu: anyway, i was saying : nono, no bash yet, you missed the punchline. he bought himself a.... husqvarna!
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: consumers are wisening up to even this. many not upgrading os despite 'sekkoority' concerns. or switch to chinese-android (yes, i've seen this happen)
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: http://i.imgur.com/VdW0b.gif << is this your life
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller: l0l tracker. as if everybody did not already know where i were going to and from.
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller: i own an example of just about every kind of toy
thestringpuller: cause its a tracker in your pocket and I see you being a private man.
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: i imagine you don't own a "smart-phone"
jurov: and i can understand the blockexplorers don't want to fill their database with invalid txen
thestringpuller: when you push to blockr.io it detects a bad input and says "I won't relay this"
thestringpuller: i'll check it out in a second (don't have a full node at disposal atm)
jurov: if i'm correct, then why mircea_popescu was spending so very fresh coins?
thestringpuller: jurov: ah i thought that was just a glitch.
thestringpuller: Then you can do it more easily than I :P
