mircea_popescu: there's a ream of other possible explanations also, at this juncture.
mircea_popescu: whaack it's also possible you have one of the mysterious connectivity issues we've kept seeing but never managed to properly document. seems less likely.
mircea_popescu: whaack it is entirely possible that your node is stuck on validating that block because of lack of ram, yes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the mempool-node and the blockchain-node split is pretty evident and definitely necessary. they got spit-glued together because well, early on in the prototyping phase people didn't know what's the engine and what's gonna be the carriage so just made one ball of everything.
mircea_popescu: Mariono ok, NOW you're good. you will have your payment later today.
mircea_popescu: Mariono bitcoin addresses start with 1 not with 3. do it again with a proper one.
mircea_popescu: Mariono dun worry about it, you;re all set ; will have your payment later today.
mircea_popescu: trinque any idea why it rejects ? i see gpg: Good signature from "Mariono (Marionobitcointalk)
mircea_popescu: Mariono it should have an option for "sign only" or "clearsign" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: there's no specific problem known at that height ; trb does tend to want to use about 4gb or so if it can get to it.
mircea_popescu: whaack how long has it been running / how long has it been stuck ?
mircea_popescu: whaack he just means what ips have you specified to connect to if any.
mircea_popescu: luser friendly, bitch! are you a luser ? no ? then whadda ya want!
mircea_popescu: kinda why i wanted to inquire around the root of that palm "tree".
mircea_popescu: !!v EC52ECFA8DB46EB24459AAD5C88B1C1D895335D9B6EA779673534380704A7D92
mircea_popescu would like to convey this discussion to commenter. maybe ask him to join here ?
mircea_popescu: well sure. on the other hand, sh is also less used. for all you know it has three shellshocks.
mircea_popescu: "fluoridated water worked fine until his jaw came off" for great lulzstice.
mircea_popescu: (in case anyone thought "let's add fluoride to water" is some sort of novel insanity : as american as apple pie. this schmuck added radium for the EXACT same purpose - it'll strengthen your teeth, cure gout and female anoyingness.)
mircea_popescu: no, seriously, i should like to see a case of historical snake oil that DIDN'T fit that bill. all the way to wja bailey's "radium is restoring health to thousands" radithor
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck ELSE is snakeoil but "stupid shit that behaves as advertised and yet is not useful for any usecase"
mircea_popescu: (in this particular case, it's a case of "according to the empire worldview, the correct crypto would be based on creating privkeys out of public strings, with a dab of emperor's own pubes" "this may not exist ; here's the proof")
mircea_popescu: like a strange sort of animated snowball in hell, sizzling like butter on the hot stove every which way.
mircea_popescu: never gives up, tries again, "revolution", "progress", it's the lulz of all time. to think all this running away, running in circles, chasing of tail etc is simply the devil trying to somehow, hopefully, beyond all hope escape the fact that there really isn't any room for it here.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how on every single iteration, at every level, in every novel context and at each turn the socialist empire meets in the field the same very nude declaration of nature that "you may not exist, vermin". EVERY time.
mircea_popescu: derps are now reduced to mfa websites filled by ohioan fiverr copywriters ffs.
mircea_popescu: Elliot Maras has reported on the payments industry and financial services for trade publications and websites for several years. He is based in Cleveland, Ohio. << for the shitlist.
mircea_popescu: what random idiots self report is entirely uninteresting, you know ?
mircea_popescu: adlai for the record it's not exactly "security theatre". a large list of ingredients goes into what exactly makes me disdain X item ; that's definitely one of them.
mircea_popescu: (but yes, i did say pubkey where i should have said privkey for sanity. the problem is that in the scenario discussed there's no difference.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the quality of the fuel is not involved in the discussion of fuel. this sort of separation of concerns is what alf correctly points out constitutes all science.
mircea_popescu: adlai it's an assumption of the nature of "whatever engine may in the future be devised, 1) it will run on fuel, and 2) that fuel will be derivable from gasoline".
mircea_popescu: well no, at least that's an actual thing. as opposed to theoretical pieces badly written by idiots.
mircea_popescu: well... truman vs roosevelt does fit a weevil vs cockroach sort of profile, to my eye
mircea_popescu: of fucking course, what'd you expect, flying pixie squirrels ?
mircea_popescu: this is like saying that the replacement cockroach was also a cockroach.
mircea_popescu: well... who's to know. twit nearly avoided himself, if you recall that incident when escort subs nearly sunk his boat.
mircea_popescu: well, not a great fan of roosevelt, at any rate. nor muchly loved by the "comedians" of his era.
mircea_popescu has been reading up on robert mccormick. interesting fellow.
mircea_popescu: it is quickly becoming apparent that the one strategic material of the coming war shall be random bits.
mircea_popescu: anyway, wouldn't it be nice if /patches/ includes a list of all heads ?
mircea_popescu: ah. it is a public disservice though, people reading through eg, one of the trilema pieces you linked, might wish to know that there's something on loper related to the discussion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it might interest you that your blog sent out 0 pingbacks
