fluffypony: because I was "disrespectful" to her
cazalla: punkman, i imagine they only discuss bitcoin as the embassy whereas here, it is a little different.. gentleman's club as one article states
punkman: oh ok then, I read it wrong
mircea_popescu: (why the blocks were designed to not contain a summary bytecount of their own variable content i nthe first place is yet another example of the "satoshi was not much of a designer" thing)
punkman: could just have blocksize next to diff target in block header I suppose
mircea_popescu: i imagined the us electoral system will work.
punkman: 2mb is how I always imagined an increase, but yeah I guess that unworkability is becoming apparent these days
mircea_popescu: it'd have to look a lot more like the above than like anything i've seen, ☟︎
mircea_popescu: 990kb i mean
punkman: I'd still want the fee market to develop further before any increase.
mircea_popescu: that's the difference : i have no need for an arbitrary 18% no matter what.
ShawnLeary: i'm using colloquy
ShawnLeary: i dunno, i copy pasted my previous post that didn't go through
ben_vulpes: i'd dearly love a css pass on logs.bitcoin-assets to colorize by speaker and with a mobile breakpoint
mircea_popescu: i guess this is the problem with youth.
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3h9cq4/its_time_for_a_break_about_the_recent_mess/ << i suppose theymos' valliant effort to make reddit matter is cute in its own way.
trinque: I had that in there to see the lilo screen
shinohai: I'll get config asap. I tried starting it that same way (minus vnc, don't use it)
trinque: and I'll diff it with the one I produced
trinque: shinohai: may I have your .config ?
shinohai: trinque: I finally got it to run, added genkernel --menuconfig all to line 185
trinque: hory shit! the day I pick to go to the river!
BingoBoingo: Well this looks like someone's first draft. I'm sure more things will emerge later for great justice. Still no XT block yet.
mats: i can't imagine how many redditor brains would explode at the notion
mats: i would be convinced it was him if he used coins from the first day of mining
punkman: I don't think I've written 18k classes total so far
mats: i wont get hosed when it falls back to 0.00028 either
mats: unfortunately i don't get paid when mpoe moves like this but meh whatever
mats: i make small 2-4% plays
menahem: lol now that I think about it, that's probably why I remember seeing that article.. after going through qntra archives.
BingoBoingo: I dunno how you find old Trilemas, even Qntra is starting to really slow down the brainchain index
mircea_popescu: that's why i wasn't finding it lol
BingoBoingo: I wonder if Hearn made any An Heros this week http://qntra.net/2015/01/pierre-omidyar-also-started-a-qntra-back-in-october-his-failed/
mircea_popescu: i guess ire=make it
menahem: that was recent though, I remember reading it about 2-ish weeks ago.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm checking the job board
mircea_popescu: recently, cuz it was luzly how i'm apparently the only one remembering.
BingoBoingo: I think you may have trilema'd it this year
shinohai: No, but if anyone finds it I will preserve it.
mircea_popescu: hmm, anyone recall where the fuck i put that screenshot of gavin casually admitting that satoshi never spoke to him after he ran off and "presented" bitcoin @nsa hq ?
mircea_popescu: mats upon research it turns out that teh guy isn't/wasn't actually doing anything. i'm obviously not the best avenue for that.
mats: i still don't get why he took off after that brief conversation with mp if he actually has access to 0days
ben_vulpes: i just cracked my water heater thermostat open
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dun have vlc on this machine and i don't usually care enough to check some vid on a dirty box
btcdrak: I'm officially registered as an ass now. reddit will be pleased. next stop t/buttcoin. Jealous of petertodd who got mod status
btcdrak: ok I registered with assbot
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2014 22:35:52; mircea_popescu: "Thank you for this clarification Mr. Nakamoto. It has been an honor to be labeled by my friends as "Satoshi's Drunk Uncle" and it's a moniker I'll wear proudly until the day I retire from Crypto. The Goldcoin (GLD) developers truly admire your work and strive to continue improving upon its design as a tribute to your unparallelled genius. Your admirer and relative in spirit, MicroGuy."
btcdrak: It would be so funny if Satoshi does something to remove doubt of his identity. I'd love to see the cognitive dissonance play out on r/bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: btcdrak i mean, wouldja mind registering with assbot
btcdrak: not sure I too tbh.
mircea_popescu: obviously all i see in there is "Hearn is a shitstain, MP is right, fuck reddit. Love, Satoshi". but that'd be me.
mircea_popescu: If two developers can fork Bitcoin and succeed in redefining what "Bitcoin" is, in the face of widespread technical criticism and through the use of populist tactics, then I will have no choice but to declare Bitcoin a failed project. Bitcoin was meant to be both technically and socially robust. This present situation has been very disappointing to watch unfold.
mircea_popescu: l problem, and we should take more time to come up with a robust solution. I suspect we need a better incentive for users to run nodes instead of relying solely on altruism.
mircea_popescu: They use my old writings to make claims about what Bitcoin was supposed to be. However I acknowledge that a lot has changed since that time, and new knowledge has been gained that contradicts some of my early opinions. For example I didn't anticipate pooled mining and its effects on the security of the network. Making Bitcoin a competitive monetary system while also preserving its security properties is not a trivia
mircea_popescu: The developers of this pretender-Bitcoin claim to be following my original vision, but nothing could be further from the truth. When I designed Bitcoin, I designed it in such a way as to make future modifications to the consensus rules difficult without near unanimous agreement. Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satos
mircea_popescu: I have been following the recent block size debates through the mailing list. I had hoped the debate would resolve and that a fork proposal would achieve widespread consensus. However with the formal release of Bitcoin XT 0.11A, this looks unlikely to happen, and so I am forced to share my concerns about this very dangerous fork.
mircea_popescu: i feel so rich.
pete_dushenski: "I didn't anticipate pooled mining and its effects on the security of the network.

mircea_popescu: it makes money like "i'm going to be a star" makes money.
jurov: oh i'm not in #eulora
jurov: uf, how and when i got a "particularly promising branch criterion"?
asciilifeform: for the record, i'm rather surprised hearn didn't also push a switcheroo in the proof of work algo
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that the figures displayed at 'bitnodes' have any strong relationship to reality
asciilifeform: and my nodes only appear because i bludgeoned the version string to death
asciilifeform: for all i know, half of'em are running 'pseudonode'
fluffypony: punkman: I don't have a problem with a very conservative dynamic increase over time, bearing in mind that my baseline is "can I run a node on an entry-level South African DSL line"
asciilifeform: fluffypony: it's more of a 'do you expect me to talk? no mr bond, i expect you to Die!!'
thestringpuller: oh i was about to put that typo up
asciilifeform: l0l i somehow missed the exponentially-growing size thing
BingoBoingo: ass https://i.imgur.com/T3qkBvQh.jpg
punkman: http://i.imgur.com/qc7FPxa.jpg that's a nice crater
davout: shinohai: "i'll do it if the bounty is paid in regular bitcoin"
shinohai: ^ "I declare a 25 BTC bounty to the first pool that will mine a block with Bitcoin ХT."
cazalla: but i continue to use google so bit of a hypocrit in doing so
cazalla: i wouldn't know how else, don't really care either, i just don't think it is THE alternative to google.. maybe ixquick or something else
cazalla: pete_dushenski, i'm sure i've read before they log and sell their data
pete_dushenski: i've searched for terms on google and received 0 fucking hits, and ddg brings back >10
pete_dushenski: and i somehow doubt that kako would be much fonder of adding !ddg to assbot
pete_dushenski: http://s3.reutersmedia.net/resources/r/?m=02&d=20150815&t=2&i=1072179779&w=976&fh=&fw=&ll=&pl=&sq=&r=2015-08-15T224512Z_40_GF20000021263_RTRMADP_0_USA-ELECTION-TRUMP << caption this election campaign shot #2

ben_vulpes: i try to only use it as a scripting language for my 'editor'
phf: ben_vulpes: i think the madness comes with trying to do clos in elisp :>
assbot: Logged on 16-08-2015 05:02:25; mircea_popescu: no, i'm such an asshole i have to have my food tasted.
phf: ben_vulpes: no, this https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eieio/ is emacs's whacky clos. i think advice is a separate lineage, by way of interlisp. there's defadvice in lispworks for example
asciilifeform: punkman: this does not mean that it can't be cut. i've been cutting it. but it has to be cut like a living thing.
phf: i remember a bar in old san juan, and their bar food selection consisted of a spicy soup and oysters. i'm pretty sure those were best oysters i've had
asciilifeform: nor do i have much desire to replace anything whatsoever with boostisms
phf: mircea_popescu: i was expecting fresh seafood, it being a coastal country, easily available. oaxaca and guerrero for example had fish markets all over the shore.
asciilifeform: punkman: nice work, and overlaps heavily with my own notes. but gotta understand why i did not make these cuts as of yet.
asciilifeform: which is where i think my copy went.
punkman: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000147.html some random stuff I noticed
mircea_popescu: i think they had a milk bar, funnily enough.
phf: i can believe about a steak, and i think it would've been a safe bet to go to a steakhouse, but after a week of diving and swimming i'm not usually in the mood for heavier foods
asciilifeform: mats: i have that article printed and bound, on a shelf (or... had. iirc it grew legs, wandered away)
mircea_popescu: best mexican restaurant i ever found was in cr
mircea_popescu: they had very decent steaks i tell you
mats: I read some of dreppers 'what every programmer should know about memory' recently
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what that is, honestly.
phf: all eating casados, i'm sure
mircea_popescu: i can see it. but you know, sj is like what, 2-3 mn ?
