the fact
the latter approach is well known and
THOROUGHLY documented
to cause shocking failure in otherwise well meaning, intelligent and respectable kids.
that's ~the whole history of early bitcoin.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 15:13 mircea_popescu: or in more pointed
terms, we've been running a
http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ except for brains.
the reaction in
the population has been comparable. it
turns out about as many people have brains as girls have
tits. and
they're about as intellectually useful,
too!
BingoBoingo: Anyways patch might be
to introduce a bindip= param in
the .config
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> similarly a heathen could get himself malleused and notice
that both 'separate' nodes simultaneously disconnect him << At
this point heathen is expending effort
BingoBoingo: Ironically when I
tried
to force bitcoind onto one ip
through an iptables rule
that did make it hang. Since I stopped
trying
that it hasn't hung.
mircea_popescu: even if you do so run
two, you still want both
to see
the whole "pool"
BingoBoingo: Not necessarily a must fix. We have a cheap and easy hack
to fill a fuckton of ip space if necessary.
BingoBoingo: It
turns out
trb doesn't bind
to a port.
Thusly if you change
the myip parameter other boxes will
talk
to it on
the old ip out of habit in addition
to
the new.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is one bitcoind instance
talking outta
two ips.
mod6: Aha, ok.
Thank you, Sir.
mircea_popescu: mod6 if you'd rather pay cash,
that's also fine. !!pay mircea_popescu .8 at your leisure
mod6: mircea_popescu: I'd like
to see S.NSA's equipment come down
to .uy and be also a customer.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:18 mircea_popescu:
that aside, i don't necessarily want
to be paid cash or anything ; carry
the same
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-11#1783243 on
the books alongside whatever you're adding via
the foundation and it'll be fine.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:15 mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm not against you
taking over ; but mind
that as you also mention, BingoBoingo 's problem wasn't lack of access
to capital (i dunno why
this keeps being
the expectation, as it's scarcely yet been
the case, we're drastically overcapitalized is
the entire fucking problem
to begin with). BingoBoingo 's problem was lack of access
to middle management, and it nigh on killed him. so for
this
to work,
that's
the key element.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 10:40 diana_coman: mod6, mind giving a bit more detail regarding
the business+technical side?
mircea_popescu: the 8 fixed bytes are intended
to permit future extension, if needed.
there's no hard requirement
they be set
to
the default values, user can also set
them randomly if he prefers.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 07:40 ave1: I seem
to have
tripped over
the name *foundation*
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 17:58 diana_coman: yes, how big is not a head count strictly of course; put it as how powerful if
that is clearer
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 15:11 mircea_popescu: which brings
the following point home : it's not at all
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783553 ; it's very much
that
the republic doesn't actually have
the intellectual capacity
to handle
the needs of its immense capital, as of yet.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783585 << continuing on
this discussion (not so as
to improperly call asciilifeform 's usual dithery blather such ; but for
the record,
that a discussion was at least ~attempted~) : s.mg boardroom eventually decided yesterday
to employ a format for
the pre-padded rsa messages. it will consist of [F][random bits][message].

TMSR~. <3
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 17:54 diana_coman: in other words
this can be put as:
tmsr's l1 atm is not big enough yet
to support an isp of its own
mircea_popescu: the sizes note
the message size, which is
to say how many bits
to lop off
the end.
this has specific benefits over
the (deeply inept) scheme gpg currently uses ;
they'll be discussed in
the usual diana_coman post on
the
topic.
mircea_popescu: in
this scheme, F is an 11 byte construct, as follows : [byte, random][bytem size][bytem size][T][M][S][R][-][R][S][A]

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
their absolute need for bitcoin is in any case a more fundamental matter
than
their physical existence.
mircea_popescu: this is a not-negotiable point, bitcoin is
the currency of
the republic, and payments will be made in it. let allcomers figure out how
to buy
the bitcoin
they absolutely need.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 17:40 asciilifeform: as far as i can see,
there is a shortage of heathens who have any btc
to spend
to begin with. (much less who want
to spend it on a vps)
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the fundamental reason i didn't say no
to uy (in preference of say, hk) is specifically
that asia has a bw problem.
mircea_popescu: (this is
the deep, and political meaning of
the rowhammer class of attacks : it has rendered amazon's business entirely worthless ; much like basic physics make
tesla be a paper-only usg venture, so now
the last remaining flagship. all hopes now pinned on googles artificial "intelligence" [and i guess "quantum" wank].)
☟︎ BingoBoingo: The bandwidth cost if
the pipe is anything close
to filled is comprable
to Brazil where
they bill bandwidth off
the pipe on a percentage
transfer scheme and beats Asia where
they bill extortionately for data
that crosses borders
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 16:40 ben_vulpes: phf: yeah i rolled IVA into
that number, is
that wrong for some reason?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-12 16:42 mircea_popescu: "if mp built his back-to-back
toilet, how could you ~using software only, mind!~ ensure
the piss of his slavegirls doesn't mix ?"

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783471 << I can't speak for others, but
talk (and opinions) are cheap! Only one willing
to consider shouldering
the post-mp burden/risk
thus far has been asciilifeform.
mircea_popescu: hey. you quit drinking on
the couch ytou have, not on
the couch you might possibly need for
the purpose ; and consequently...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, not perfect but servicable. Cuning enough
to extract a decent living here outta
the orcs while waiting
to return
to
the Dental profession.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how you hodling up ? << I guess
the other big lesson is
that in a bit more
than
two months,
this weekend has shown
that I made at least one servicable friend here

TomServo: I'd very much like
to see
this endeavor succeed and would gladly offer assistance. I don't want
to get out line if
this discussion is for L1.
mircea_popescu: quite some lulz
to be had
there,
to fill up
those sleepless nights.
BingoBoingo: Gotta have a live intelligence
to reflect against,
to get
the relief outta being honest
BingoBoingo: I have been doing
that, but for Step 5 it doesn't seem right if you can't look
the other person in
the eye
BingoBoingo: Finding someone here
to do Step 5 with here was a challenge for
that reason.
mircea_popescu: orc can't be honest. not because doesn't want
to or anything, but because honesty requires a live intelligence.
mircea_popescu: sure as waterlillies nobody put an import
tax on AA,
there or anywhere else. and yet.
mircea_popescu: then you discover muslims don't know how
to fuck, either, and realise
that no, being an orc is a very substantial
thing. it's not just foreign / neologistic items
they fuck up.
mircea_popescu: it's funny what parts
turn out rotten/unreliable huh. you'd
think
there's nothing intrinsically orc about AA, it's a fundamental human
thing, how could
they botch it ?!
BingoBoingo: But with
the IspWish... With a mircea_popescu venture I had a good idea I was playing with a knife. I have a lot of uncertainty what a mod6, ben_vulpes, alf coalition offers
that mircea_popescu didn't other
than padding and yet
to be determined quality of middle management. If
they present an escape plan it would provide a lot of comfort.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One day at a
time.
This has been good for my AA basics even if
the local AA seems more cargo cult as my spanish improves.
BingoBoingo: after his recent attempt
to fly
to
the sun.
mircea_popescu: no, im gonna make it a coupla
times a week. and even read logs now and again.
