trinque: meanwhile they did not do the one thing that might've been interesting (that I can see), which would've been to fire pg_notify events when the results of a given view change
asciilifeform: what i meant was, i'd like to see a rational calculation of why the freq.
decimation: actually I suspect the solar wind buffeting the magnetosphere is a factor
asciilifeform: decimation: i'm still waiting to read a non-batshit explanation of schumann
asciilifeform: i suppose he can answer when reads log..
ben_vulpes: i think mircea_popescu designed something like that for eulora
asciilifeform: and thus i am not entirely sure who would find it interesting here, and why
asciilifeform: i promise to explain this later.
asciilifeform: i linked to it to illustrate the sheer batshit
asciilifeform: i'm more partial to cryptocurrency that doesn't rely on clocks. ☟︎
decimation: I have a few sketches for such a thing, but I can't get around the problem of fixed keys that need to be distributed to listeners
asciilifeform: i suspect that mircea_popescu might answer that it is for the next set of miners

asciilifeform: how the fuck do i know what is on the other end of ionosphere?
asciilifeform: i can tell a zero-diff block and so can you

asciilifeform: i am trying - and apparently failing - to make the point that there is no such thing as 'good hardware' for finding out 'what time' it is on ~my~ atomic clock from across an ocean.
asciilifeform: if your local clock is shit, i can still induce you to rely on it more, more
asciilifeform: for contrast: i just finished a neat little book (ru) on early artillery

asciilifeform: that's all i was trying to say
asciilifeform: i.e. a sad joke
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> point of pogo is to allow well-meaning but illiterate or even stupid people to run therealbitcoin. << no. well meaning stupid is the LAST thing we want. i'd rather import us academia.
mircea_popescu: and the followin line does not follow. some intelligent people are poor, or more to wit : some poor people are (allegedly) intelligent. i doub this is true. but if it were, pogo is their way out.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> you know i'm not even convinced a node *should* be stood up without human intervention. << this may be true.

asciilifeform: this, again, isn't even related to what i was thinking of. but encountered by accident.
williamdunne: Aye, which was remarkable really. Didn't see any others. She was very nice and I still talk to her, but headshots and angles are good at lying
mircea_popescu: ands now i shall leave you with http://41.media.tumblr.com/5f930017bebc54ed7b2723594a70d5f0/tumblr_n8xsxzmnYv1r8wl2xo1_1280.jpg while i go make moar coarse frangible threads
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-07-2015#1192570 << at the risk of 'fleischmanning', i will say a little about the concept even though i am not yet done working it out ☝︎
williamdunne: I might be into some things, but anthropomorphic animals aren't one of those things

mircea_popescu: i would like to assure the concerned public that no flower bouquets were involved in any of this at any point.
mircea_popescu: she says sure, she's going for a cup of coffee. i ask where, she says "tell your guy to find out"
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm not sure what you are thinking, but my idea is to use the 10 minute block time as a noisy oscillator
mircea_popescu: well, the most famous and i guess exemplare case is, mp stops car, tells shadow : follow that girl. guy gets an address, mp gets a phone number, talks to puzzled woman. explains that he had her stalked, would she like to have a cup of coffee
mircea_popescu: mats you know all the girls i knew for the first i dunno, decade of my life i got through stalking ?
