mod6: fair enough.
mod6: But starting might just be half the battle. We'd have to go through a process of perhaps identifiying first, where to swap out SHA2-256 for SHA3-512. (whatever needs to be included, what structures and fields need to be lengthened, etc)
mod6: *code
mod6: I personally have hardly even begun to look at what/where/how these code changes would need to take place in the current cod.
mod6: If we basically just tagged bitcoin in V as is today, then we could possibly start working on the implementation of the prereqs above.
mod6: Anyway, so i was re-reading through http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/
mod6: night davout
mod6: I think this would work right? http://dpaste.com/1GP2X8Q.txt
mod6: dang
mod6: now just need to expand for 16
mod6: or w/e
mod6: the first step was understanding wtf was going on with the arrows going up/down or up/down/down, up/up/down, down/up/up, down/down/up
mod6: i need to make one for a d16
mod6: ok you that decision table for a d6 here: http://pit-claudel.fr/clement/blog/generating-uniformly-random-data-from-skewed-input-biased-coins-loaded-dice-skew-correction-and-the-von-neumann-extractor/
mod6: ive been lookin at this for /way/ too long.
mod6: why was that so hard? i think the example is maybe just not very well, um, explained? i dunno
mod6: oooh, i get this decision table now. if r1=4, r2=6, r3=3, then i yield a final value of 2.
mod6: <+trinque> somehow that fits << haha
mod6: i'll just write one up tonight. i just tried to cheat a bit by using this one.
mod6: heheh. that's pretty ugly there too.
mod6: its like the worst of all worlds, some OO, some lisp, some indentation bullshit.
mod6: i'll probably just re-write it in perl. sigh. fucking hate python.
mod6: i guess it's just the same thing with more values, just was going to try to mod this guys shit to see if I did it right so i dont shoot myself in the face
mod6: cause really, i don't care baout the d6, i need to invent the table for d16
mod6: thought the program might help a bit.
mod6: i actually don't care /that/ much. im trying to wrap my brain around the truth table for the d6, with three rolls.
mod6: yeah. i dunno anything about python, or even how to really run this thing properly.
mod6: NameError: global name 'sequences' is not defined
mod6: best I can seem to get is this:
mod6: http://pit-claudel.fr/clement/blog/generating-uniformly-random-data-from-skewed-input-biased-coins-loaded-dice-skew-correction-and-the-von-neumann-extractor/
mod6: i need someone to help me turn this into something that works:
mod6 goes back to wrestling with python
mod6: i was just pointing back to last weeks conversation about the nature of a coin. a float, 'tis not. :]
mod6: haha
mod6: bitcoins are made of integers
mod6: does anyone know python and wanna give me like 5 minutes of help?
mod6: werd up
mod6: ok, so anyway, i'll ponder some things tonight and tomorrow, and we'll discuss more.
mod6: used to be here every small town had a guy, and you didnt fuck with him
mod6: its a lost skill up here for the most part.
mod6: or hogs
mod6: i feel like i wanna learn how to butcher cattle.
mod6: oh yeah, like 5 minutes.
mod6: oh yeah, they have wild boar in tucson. they'll eat anything.
mod6: i do clean my own phesants, about 50 per year. but thats easy, and a lot different than a large animal.
mod6: those are huge
mod6: oh yeah
mod6: it helps when its cold out, this is for sure.
mod6: me? i've done a deer a few times
mod6: :]
mod6: a man learns when he's hungry
mod6: but, alf seems to know something about rabbit stew; with a decent shotgun, small game is easy.
mod6: only needs an axe, flint, steel and a matchbook calculator
mod6: i feel like alf could live like ted kaczynski in the woods just fine.
mod6 imagines alf in the control box
mod6: werd
mod6: July 12th, mother of god
mod6: ;;halfreward
mod6: X_X
mod6: ;;bc,rewardhalf
mod6: ;;bc,halfreward
mod6: goddamnit
mod6: ;;rewardhalf
mod6: Say that the reward half is in july... seems hard to figure we could have anything meaningful written in ada by then at all.
mod6: mircea_popescu: anyway, re: retooling to ada; I think my overall thought was, get v054 complete, in its classic form. Then move along to ada perhaps. But then there's still the question surrounding your suggested changes. Should be done in cpp ala classic? Or full re-write including your changes?
mod6: except for the $12 bj's. that's a decent perk
mod6: beats working at walmart
mod6: coast too
mod6: "west cost choppers"
mod6: hm. but custom work pays ok then right?
mod6: huh. so there's no way to make an interface to just bolt on these abortions 'eh?
mod6: that's it. "make me my fathers pistol"
mod6: because, my thought here is, Mr. P. inflates bitcoin via V, and then `cd bitcoin ; make`
mod6: the main thing is; i've gotta get the makefiles in proper order, and basically, iirc, they already are real close.. but the thing I gotta work out is making a vpatch to add them to the source tree.
mod6: so in other news... yeah, tomorrow will work for me. i know trinque has been doing good work on deedbot etc lately, so I'll try hard not to bug him on the shit i gotta do.
mod6: im not sure which is more depressing actually, shitshoveling in a jerva shitstack all day, or walmart. make me want to pitch a tent in Mr. P.'s garden instead and work on math machine, even if futile. would be more rewarding than the shit i do on an avg. work day
mod6: i can't imagine it is at all.
mod6: there's your tax dollars hard at work
mod6: here's a matter of fact: no one pays with actual cash. ebt 4 everyone.
mod6: same lady, week after week buying the same full cart of vagicreme. same guys night after night wrestling over a spot in line at 01:59 am to see who would get sold the last 40
mod6: then it was just depressing
mod6: for about ... 60 days
mod6: it was hilarious
mod6: for about 8 months, and spent time working nights in a tucson walmart in the ghetto
mod6: once, i quit doing computer shit
mod6: im gonna have to be like Hiro, quit this shitshoveling and start devivering pizza for CosaNostra
mod6: hahah
mod6: who needs to handle errors anyway
mod6: bzzt
mod6: basically, im just gonna end up creating a sandbox - inflate v054 from V, and throw in trinque's makefiles and start doing what needs doing.
mod6: otherwise, i'm good if we wanna discuss someshit now for like 30 mins.
mod6: so we're talking between 17:00 and 19:30 PDT
mod6: ok it's 19:10 / 7:10 pm there now ben_vulpes?
mod6: :D
mod6: might be a bit early for ben_vulpes, but he'll probably catch us on the tail end.
mod6: which would be 19:00-21:30 cdt
mod6: ah, ok. so figure between 21:00 and 23:30 art
mod6: eh, what time you got there right now? 22:05?
mod6: i agree, a bit of a plan would be good. hold me to something i think.
mod6: during the day has been horrid for me for the last ~3 weeks. but, will try to stop in tomorrow night and discuss a bit.
