asciilifeform: funkenstein_: possibly for the reason i mentioned
funkenstein_: i'm surprise nobody has an RSA coin out yet
BingoBoingo: Ah, I think I was missing rt
fluffypony: but I haven't checked the last few commits on BSD, so it's entirely possible we broke something
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 18:53:47; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: workfunctions, there was once some theoretical work concerning 'non-outsourceable puzzles', i.e. mathematical magic preventing the formation of pools by allowing any pool participant to silently and untraceably claim the entire block reward. but i cannot recall if this went anywhere other than academiwankery.
mircea_popescu: you think the fucktards writing "gawker" and all its clones are getting paid ? thjey aren't. they do it because i won't take them to work for qntra, and they imagine that if they persevere they can somehow prevail without needing to actually do the hard work.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enough, i encountered gogulski entirely by chance, elsewhere:
kakobrekla: https://blockchain.info/address/1BDSZMaUvrbTjWsSgLA4XqYUK4dDzxREEV this address i thin kwas under dprs control
jurov: ;;later tell felipelalli btc-dev l2 keys are updated once per day, if your emails still aren't accepted, i'll check it it on weekend (currently abroad, no access)
asciilifeform: ... and it appear that i'm ~still~ the only one keeping public therealbitcoin nodez ?? are folks waiting for the version string thing (imho pretty useless...) or what ?
mircea_popescu: dja see what i mean ?
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 13:20:26; kakobrekla: i dont see why the idiots dont take the leap and think that limited block size may actually give some small value to their beloved alts
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1251766 << i recall this tidbit of shisdom peppered throughout the "conversation" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: lemme dig it up, then you can watch it then i can say something pithy about it
mircea_popescu: i'm curious if the size of that empire will allow the young and clueless mining derps be squashed by decade-old us foreign policy technology that their older, more politically central counterparts have long ago figured how to sink
asciilifeform: lucky job that i have one. (and i'd be disappointed if only i)
mircea_popescu: anyway, our friends' apparently well intended conundrum is i think illustrative for the woe betid the modern man, asked to come up with "votes" on matters so far removed from his understanding.
asciilifeform: i worked it out. the only interrupt handlers one even needs, are a) timer b) nic frame ring buffer (tx, rx) full/empty.
mircea_popescu: i do not think there ever existed a "single task programmable computer" yet, in spite of convincing early ibm emulation. you either get signal processing or multi tasking
lobbes: ;;later tell trinque is deedbot- handling phuctor now too? No worries either way; I just want to make sure our gears are turning in-sync
mircea_popescu: i mean... what's the connection between core11.hetzner.de and verizon-gni.net
thestringpuller: i've always thought e-cigs can wane you off more easily than other things because you can cram so much nicotine in the juice
phf: asciilifeform: i think there's a range. there's an ecigar (not sure how it's called) place next door, which is favored by asians and blacks. actually pipes are large and made out of machined parts, but produce massive amounts of smoke. they source nicotine oil separately, and my impression is that you can get anything from dodgy chinese stuff with flavors like "coca cola bubble gum" to u.s. local hand extracted tobacco oil
BingoBoingo: I dunno if there is a cheaper way to get nicotine, even for pesticide than extracting from tobacco
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have to imagine extracted. Even pesticide grade nicotine is typically extracted and then isolated to my knowledge. This package says extracted from tobacco, but RJ Reynolds is not in my WoT to the extent I can take that on face value.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how is the 'juice' made ? i.e. clean mix of pesticidal-grade nicotine and flavourings, or is it actually squeezed from tobacco ?
lobbes: I think I crave that as much as the nicotine heh
lobbes: to make them a true replacement though, I think they'd need to simulate the ammonia and arsenic et al.
lobbes: they have improved quite a bit. I remember when they were the size of markers. I had one once where the plastic mouthpiece would break at least once a month
asciilifeform: 'I apologise for my tardiness, but here is the 5.11BTC I promised for the CoinJoin effort.' << >> https://blockchain.info/address/1BDSZMaUvrbTjWsSgLA4XqYUK4dDzxREEV
BingoBoingo: Rep could tell I was a loyal RJ Reynolds customer though when I merely asked for smokes and the clerk new which kind
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: don't know why i bothered, but https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3icef3/leaked_btc_foundation_digest_2013_complete_with
BingoBoingo just plans on using phone charger for this thing if I keep up with it.
lobbes: whenever I try to switch to e-cigs I just end up wanting real cigs
BingoBoingo: I went to the cigarette emporium at exactly the right time today. RJ Reynolds rep was there and offered for an additional $2 on top of the cigs I was buying one of these kits http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2427721,00.asp
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: i recommend to follow the format nameofpatch.vpatch.mod6.sig << cool, sounds good.

mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000156.html << cool! i'll try to get mine signed here soon. today or tomorrow.
wyrdmantis: i'm for not touching it at all
kakobrekla: i dont see why the idiots dont take the leap and think that limited block size may actually give some small value to their beloved alts ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 15:08:04; wyrdmantis: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=19-08-2015#1244364 asciilifeform can you explain me why this is relevant? i person i know has told me that L2 chache is irrelevant because "the working set of memory pages veryfing ECDSA signatures is extremely small and takes places also in L1” I don’t have counter-arguments with him because this is not my field but… i trust your opinion more. Also he says that
BingoBoingo: Could work. I just dunno why alf is so anti-section b
mircea_popescu: make sure you reload it sometime tomorrow just in case i actually wake up with any ideas.
ben_vulpes: i'd probably sweat through a shirt taking it
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'll be puzzling over that quiz for a bit. wonderful fun!
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1251096 << i actually ran into a client thing that looks 90% hand rolled ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i have no idea lol. voting stuff.
BingoBoingo: I'm voting based on misery brought upon Derps, no moral consideration involved
mircea_popescu: what am i gonna tell my mom!
BingoBoingo: So, I moved the Popescu, Ulbricht slate above the shitheads on that griefer site. No good reason why MP and RU should have low elo ratings.
BingoBoingo: I am never apologetic to randos on the interwebz
mircea_popescu: i am the only "political prisoner" on the list so to speak.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There surprisingly hasn't been a qntra DoS that I have noticed since the XT'ening
felipelalli: I just forgot that.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo, lol I'm so ingenuous. Thank you!
BingoBoingo: "I now feel somewhat vindicated in that assessment, and more than a little gratified that his blog seems to have shutdown in the ensuing mess." << IncrediLoL
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'if i say it three times, it is true!' (tm) (r) (lewis carroll)
mircea_popescu: "Ironically, this is the second time I’ve run across Popescu in my writing. Popescu is a member of a group who call themselves “The Bitcoin Lordship,” who opposed a necessary increase in the Bitcoin block size for some very silly and shortsighted reasons. I remember thinking that he in particular was an ugly combination of paranoid, narcissistic, and downright mean. I now feel somewhat vindicated in that assessme
mircea_popescu: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/priority-ashley-madison-leak-no-big-deal-think/ << shit i was wrong.

hanbot: asciilifeform so how do i tell linker not to link said item? or do i, even?
asciilifeform: but i don't expect to find the launch codes in there, no.
mats: asciilifeform: I find this unbelievable
asciilifeform: you have a family your willingness to be a martyr diminishes. The same is true of many of my colleagues. Hopefully my support for Bitcoin can help undo some of the damage we've done, but I do have to be careful and it's tough to take all the precautions I need to to be able to communicate. If it was found out that I was involved with Bitcoin that way I have been, let's just say there would be consequences...'
asciilifeform: 'Just so you know this stuff about Tor has me worried... Please don't make this public, but my day job involves intelligence, and I'm in a relatively high position. You know, I went into the job years ago with very different thoughts about it than I do now. The last, well, decade really has changed a lot of minds in this field, in totally different ways. Myself I am on the side of Snowden and Assange, but... lets just say when
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I feel you there, my dosimeter has been peaked for a while
hanbot: well, machine/os i've got for testing is what i've got for testing. why not, indeed.
asciilifeform: i mean, i can see arm-32 (pogo et al) or mips-32
asciilifeform: hanbot: but i also gotta ask, why are you building a x86-32 bitcoind ?
hanbot: <asciilifeform> hanbot: dollars to doughnuts you built a x86-64 component and it somehow got linked ! << ah thanks. rather than cutting up binaries/recompiling with symbols i'm going to look at this, seems the more likely explanation.
asciilifeform: (i presume hanbot is actually testing on a machine running in 32-bit mode)
BingoBoingo: I really want to bring the filipinos USG pays for to USia to scrap the place collecting lipodiesel and biodiesel in the Iowan uranium mines.
mircea_popescu: i wonder who the fuck ever looked at her and thought "hey, i want her"
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/UI3VIXn.png << USian 'Woman'
trinque: BingoBoingo: yeah, I've got no love for those giant ones aside from their utility re: actual work
asciilifeform: i assumed that this was lifted off todd's hdd or the like
asciilifeform: 'aka "[jpeg image of size 5220]"' << i always l0lld from this misfeature
asciilifeform: i can see ~that~
mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/4BcycXUu << i dunno if anyone actually gives a shit, but for those curious to see how the huddling-in-the-dark half lives...
BingoBoingo: trinque: No. I want an S-10 or Dakota with a wicked lift kit.
mircea_popescu: "I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary
assbot: Logged on 27-05-2015 18:05:40; ascii_field: i keep pet. other people, if they like, can keep livestock
asciilifeform: i could also use a dirigible
asciilifeform: i was recently enjoying an anthology of the collected personal correspondence of n. tesla
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm just bitter. but srsly...
mircea_popescu: ah, i'm disorganised. from literary criticism to actual agriculture
mircea_popescu: i think anyone with a serious interest in human thought has a corner they use just in that manner you describe.
mircea_popescu: i think ironically the "basic bitcoin" exercise has illustrated we're not yet in a theoretically-complete position. damned close but not there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is something there i think but not usable as is
mircea_popescu: i thought all southern dishes that are fried are fried in groundhog fat.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: who needs catfish when you can eat cat! in shenzen! << I've heard rumours that the groundhog crop has been excellent this year
mircea_popescu: tho i don't usually bite.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> catfish is shockingly not much eaten here. << If they are too big to eat (i.e. Mississippi river) still ought to be fished for the challenge.
mircea_popescu: i can eat cat as is
asciilifeform: i'm not certain the target clientele ~have~ any money..?
mircea_popescu: mike_c honestly i suspek your intuition is certainly correct. more money to be made teaching this than 90% of the stuff taught online. "be a better you" or w/e.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the reason rawls is in there is because it gives perhaps the best approach for average derp to touch his derpitude. the reasoin no discussion of scamming is in economy is because i do not believe it is in there. << belongs in Biology
mircea_popescu: Adlai : i am an expert in the english language.
