mircea_popescu: there is no justice outside of the public forum. if party can not speak in public, it may not pretend like it has a case.
mircea_popescu: i don't get all these people participating in "sealed" pseudo-legal proceedings.
mircea_popescu: davout i did read it. you had 40 btc deposited iirc, neh ?
mircea_popescu: no but srsly. am i gonna also !s "dump massive" or you get the point.
mircea_popescu is starting to suspect this lecherous dwarf may be the only one who cavorted with the scamcoins enough.
mircea_popescu: dude it's gotten so bad ~i~ have to ask for tmsr-pravda articles be translated.
mircea_popescu: for currently, it can at most get you in trouble, and that if you're lucky.
mircea_popescu: WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THIS CHAN STEAL MY IDEAS ALL THE TIME
mircea_popescu: shinohai no more like keep the notes organised so mod6 doesn't go blind looking for where the fuck i said about knobs and where was it.
mircea_popescu: sorta like a careful bash of technical discussions rather than lulz.
mircea_popescu: yeah but it's a certain sort of job for a certain sorta person.
mircea_popescu: course the other end is harder. who can even do a good job of this.
mircea_popescu: and holy shit b-a is hiring like crazy, where are all the people looking for jerbs,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so do it on the foudnation and donate the needed funds to it.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, currently nodes only need disk ; cpu is wasted. ideally a node should use both, so that it makes sense to keep boxes as relay nodes.
mircea_popescu: but i don't think SUCH hard rape is contemplated at all.
mircea_popescu: now, your observation is correct in that this possibility puts a hard limit on how much miners can be raped.
mircea_popescu: my modeling shows it'd be way the fuck cheaper to calculate nonce blocks than to try and churn merkel trees
mircea_popescu: but, obviously - the more moving parts, the more problems.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not entirely impossible to make the shifting a function of difficulty differential (note that there isn't a rule BOTH hashes have to be under THE SAME number. if there's two numbers, you could have an equalizer algo that does the shift moving)
mircea_popescu: knob 1 above decides whether to obsolete current miners entirely or just partially, and is a [true] soft vs hard fork ; knob 2 decides how much i/o pressure to put on relay nodes ; knob 3 decides how much relay work to require in the mix.
mircea_popescu: and yet another twistable knob exists : the nonce may be shifted before taking the nonceth element.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: N is another twistable knob. can be 1, can be whatever.
mircea_popescu: out of every Nth preceding block, the nonce-th byte is put in a string ; the combine hashed.
mircea_popescu: it does. i specifically left the "hashing" undefined. it can be defined so both use sha3. or first stays as is and 2nd sha3. etc.
mircea_popescu: BOTH hash 1 and hash 2 have to be under a number to qualify as a found block.
mircea_popescu: in the proposed model : a header is calculated, same way. to this, anonce is added, the combine hashed. this is hash 1. a digest is calculated, on the basis of past blocks. to this, the SAME nonce is added. the combine hashed. this is hash 2
mircea_popescu: ok. so currently, for every block being mined : a header is calculated ; to this a nonce is added, the combine hashed. the resultant hash has to be smaller than a number to qualify as a found block.
mircea_popescu: too bad i constantly strangle the easy fruit pickers. if only they fucking picked in THAT direction ffs.
mircea_popescu: healing the relay-miner divide, if in fact the thing on trilema does it, would be a great one.
mircea_popescu: except by features i don't mean "features". obviously.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, the more features the putative fork has, the better, i suppose.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is supposed to have made that youtube video ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so wait, an hero killed no-one, police did all the murderin' ?
mircea_popescu: i forgot what the chinese thing was called, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course the army of dead empire is the nest of corruption. wtf. jannissary corps v2.0
mircea_popescu: prolly the russians just elbowed the something or other.
mircea_popescu: lol re aegis-khibiny thing tho. funny how that's not at all discussed in english huh.
mircea_popescu: so does half the fucking world already. it's not 1990 anymoar.
mircea_popescu: oes. The entire aircraft carrier fleet is obsolete, and is another huge waste of money." <<< aaaaactually... romania has the capacity to sink us carriers. so does israel. so does brazil
mircea_popescu: "• It spends it on a bunch of aircraft carrier groups. These are very useful for launching attacks on defenseless countries. But it is very important to keep these aircraft carriers outside of conflict zones that may involve China or Russia, or even Iran, because each of these countries has several cost-effective ways to destroy an aircraft carrier: ballistic missiles, supersonic cruise missiles and supersonic torped
mircea_popescu: if a box goes down trying to figure wtf takes 10x to 100x longer than it takes t oboot
