asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i specifically want to see what ends up in the log
danielpbarron: i'm sure I can manually feed it blocks or whatever the fix is, but my 0.5.3.1-beta node didn't need manual intervention / is currently synced
danielpbarron: you want me to boot it up? I bet it will still be wedged as I haven't done anything to it
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-07-2015#1201329 << confirmed. I haven't bothered to boot my 0.7.2 node back up since my power outage because it was completely wedged from this thing ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i mean, yes, bitpay is a usg op << My impression is BitPay is under such constraints because born insufficiently USG, now merely avoiding a Shreming
trinque: I can toss a 50 into the goodwill box anonymously, but not BTC
trinque: well I'm not sure, is there a sort of AML/KYC equivalent for donations?
mats: plenty of middlemen to be had for the right price as far as i can see
asciilifeform: i mean, yes, bitpay is a usg op
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-07-2015#1201615 << i'd like to know what he oughta use. to turn those coins into food, rent, mains power. ☝︎
mod6: BingoBoingo: i was kinda thinkin the same thing, could be a market for someone to just ship a drive ready to go.
asciilifeform: i suppose 'combustible things must combust' is ideology then.
trinque: specifically whm I guess
BingoBoingo: Colo host to get box out of house so I don't have to see macbomination
asciilifeform: i can think of a few cases where it makes sense, but is this one ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well I'm looking at services like this http://macstadium.com/colo and a few other options that go down to $25-26, but so far this one has the least objectional terms
asciilifeform: also i'm not entirely certain why your colo box has to be an x86
asciilifeform: i esp. like the 100% open bios
BingoBoingo: I might start mailing some of these people about whenther they take machines smaller than mac mini at mac mini rate
asciilifeform: i have several, at $dayjob
trinque: can I neuter that?
trinque: I wonder if a local tech company went under
cazalla: "Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech, but rather as a place where open and honest discussion can happen: These are very complicated issues, and we are putting a lot of thought into it." bit of a contradiction eh
BingoBoingo: I know that is a fucking steal.
gernika: BingoBoingo I paid roughly 7x for a similar configuration (new)
trinque: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/sys/5083994161.html << I am considering grabbing this thing if it doesn't look too beat-up in person.

trinque: ;;later tell pete_dushenski I've enjoyed when they do.
pete_dushenski: anyways, i'm off. don't be surprised if this convo makes it into a post :D
trinque: this is what I would like to live within someday
trinque: I had this incredibly vivid dream years ago of a city which denied access based on some mechanism (undefined in the dream) of verifying identity and relationship to those dwelling within
trinque: and I could still imagine a world where I don't care
pete_dushenski: well, human brains are still human brains, i'm afraid
trinque: (unless as I said, it's outside great cryptographic walls)
trinque: I would just like to see bitcoin kill these morons too
pete_dushenski: i'm saying that it's war.
pete_dushenski: i'm not saying it will.
pete_dushenski: trinque i mean hey, if isis were going the centralised route, don't you think they'd have a king or ruler already ?
phf: ben_vulpes: eventually, aha. i'm not even sure yet that i can repeat the process. for example part of build process is a script that chooses between gcc-4.6 and clang based on whether it's .c or .mm. the fact that the result links i think is a miracle
decimation: tribalism is in the bones over there, I find it unlikely that a political entity could centralize power effectively
trinque: I do not see the equivalence at all
pete_dushenski: i don't see an external player that has the means or the will to take them down. they're no wimpy upstart. isis means business.
pete_dushenski: decimation i'm with you there.
trinque: pete_dushenski: I could very well see something 20 years down the line that's much different
pete_dushenski: hm. i don't underestimate them to the same degree.
trinque: I am indeed.
pete_dushenski: i see them as being quite related, if throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
trinque: I bet central americans had a great deal of "will" too
trinque: I don't buy it at all
decimation: saudis are not ruthless enough < I strongly doubt. Saudis would throw every merc in the world at someone challenging their rule
trinque: I am not a scholar on the subject, but it seems as an outsider that the major factors are Saudi, Iran and Israel
trinque: I am talking about middle eastern powers
trinque: among other things I think whatever successes ISIS has had reflect that nobody really wants to have Iraq or Syria be their problem
pete_dushenski: i dun seriously think that the saudis are ruthless enough nor rich enough to win this contest
mats: i doubt it.
Adlai: last i heard, from the most reputable of reputables, obama was gunna "crush" bitcoin
ascii_field: i entirely missed this.
Adlai: as though i'm in the right part!
ascii_field: i live in wrong part of the world for this
Adlai: exactly. i ratted the guy out in front of the group, it was a little hilarious
ben_vulpes: phf: didja grunt out a script or something else i could try?
mircea_popescu: best i could tell anyway
ascii_field: if it was written by a phriend, i would love to see him among our number here.
ascii_field: how, i must say i wonder, did mircea_popescu even persuade anyone to shovel the sheer tonnage of shit to write his soviet pdp clone 0.6
mircea_popescu: neway, needless to say, i'm actually impressed. for once world of shit averted.
mircea_popescu: *towards* i guess, is the better word
mircea_popescu: as it is, i'll be moving infrastructure to strator.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi where i'd be had b-a never happened and foundation never happened and etc, trying to make sense of this situation
ascii_field: actually i think i do
mircea_popescu: and no, i have nfi why
ascii_field: afaik i'm the only one actually running a public-facing realbitcoinotron
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 20:32:01; mircea_popescu: it didn't actually work, obviously, but i must say without all the work the foundation put in, it probably WOULD have.
mircea_popescu: but i said 6 or 7
ascii_field: i still have a 0.8, it runs
ascii_field: (i
mircea_popescu: it didn't actually work, obviously, but i must say without all the work the foundation put in, it probably WOULD have. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: relatedly : i am reasonably satisfied the ~950 kb single tx a few days ago was trying its best to make pre 0.10 clients unable to verify the chain anymore.
mircea_popescu: gernika_ it's up and down as i have the 363736 issue examined.
mircea_popescu: not sure i wanna see that.
trinque: I've actually had a few dreams about such a place
ascii_field: i can't wait to see all the nails folks try to pound in with this microscope.
trinque: I can't wait to hold one in my hands
nubbins`: "but i work in a cubicle"
nubbins`: i used to work for big insurance co
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask to pay in cocaine <<< i suggested to buyer we take tx off-site; he agreed. mildly surprised message filters or smth didn't get in the way
ascii_field: ah i c
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 16:35:26; fromphuctor: hello, how can I get my information removed from nosuchlabs.com?
ascii_field: precisely what i said.
ascii_field: nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask to pay in cocaine
ascii_field: i dare say the second
mircea_popescu: but it is i think the first chance to actually improve on extant code by writing something since the start of this project. rather than just cutting warts off and sewing the crater together
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 15:40:48; funkenstein_: for broadcasting a TX today i would recommend blockchain.info, coinb.in.. there are a few others that will get your tx to miners
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 15:08:39; jurov: dm-cache using 8 GB SSD would be worth trying, i will when pogos come
mircea_popescu: i didn't mean that isolated. i just meant, "and it never amounted to anything" isolated
ascii_field: like i said for the orphans,
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun parse that, are you disagreeing or wut ?
trinque: so suppose I dropped a link to last night's islam thread
thestringpuller: ascii_field: you can set the policy to drop tx's without fees from the mempool i though
ascii_field: no, i meant what i said and i said what i meant, walrus is certain one hundred percent (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: if i recall this was discussed, i was spouting things like "sort the tx pool by value per byte, kick out bad txn and nodes that propose them, always offer a buttered selection to askers"
