danielpbarron: and it's
a somewhat frequent occurence for the blocks to get mined "out of order" where the higher block height has
a lower timestamp
jurov: what if... someone mines such
a hash that it loops back to genesis block?
BingoBoingo: By combining 32 bit time and blockheight
a hardford should be entirely unneccessary to deal with this. Can be handled in the bitcoin daemon

mircea_popescu: im definitely going to run
a few, just as soon as we're in
a position to actually package one
☟︎ mod6: <+asciilifeform> ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, kakobrekla, jurov, other folks with serious servers - who wants to volunteer for node duty ? << I think the Foundation will have one, and I'll run
a separate one of my own I'm sure.
mircea_popescu:
a hard fork is this enchanted moment when you borrow the heavenly forge and ... well... rewrite the rules.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 07:17:21; danielpbarron: can't do that. the timestamp is part of what makes
a block valid
assbot: Let's address some of the more common pseudo-arguments raised by the very stupid people that like the Gavin scamcoin proposal on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1J65Qsf )
mircea_popescu: but for the record, no hard fork proposal can be seriously considered that fails to include
a fix for such scatteromobilia throughout the codebase.

mircea_popescu: myeah. mod dropped teh ball, an' as

nanashi_: Am I talking to
a right person (about Freeseas bet inquiry), mircea_popescu?
funkenstein_: so it will be with
a whimper, and not with
a bang then?
pete_dushenski: give alf
a decade or two and we'll have fpga's this useable
mircea_popescu: cue kid come visiting, "hey, is that the car ???" pointing at
a yellow futuristic looking bridge with some wheels attached
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: 10k piece ?! sweet baby jeebus that
a big one.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: the problem i have with legos is construction organization of bigger sets. I have
a 10k+ piece star destroyer set and if I stop working on it I always forget the step i was left.

pete_dushenski: not that the ass is nerveless, but there's certainly
a much lower density there
mircea_popescu: except pretty much everyone can be made to develop mouth herpes by stressing the liver in
a particular manner
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if it's been 16% for
a week, you don't get it by fucking herpetic whores bareback, you get it from being genetically broken in that way
mircea_popescu:
a) that infection is unrelated to exposure in any form ; b) that "fighting" pointless "battles" is the best way to waste public money in relative personal safety ; c) canada is broadly iliterate
mircea_popescu: i dunno why epidemiology is so hard to follow, but let's add two and two together. two one : the virus is not
a new introduction. two two : the virus is stable aroun 16-18% infections.
pete_dushenski recalls bus ad for 'did you know that 1/5 people has genital herpes ?' as
a young man, teasing 5th kid in line that he was it. because math.
mircea_popescu: or, more properly stated : that it offers
a usable, cheap counterbalance to the female community behaviour.

a private key
mircea_popescu: didn't you link some pics of soviet food and declare they made you drool
a little ago ?
mod6: <+hanbot> mod6 wunderbar! will be sure to pester as/if necessary. looks about
a couple orders of magnitude slimmer than handbook at first glance, exciting << ah thx! yeah, just let me know if you run into any problems/questions.
pete_dushenski: "Buran hitched the ride to space on the side of the Energia, only using her own two engines – the equivalent of the shuttle’s Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) using GOX/Kerosene propellant – for
a 66.7 m/s burn to reach
a final the orbit of 251 km x 263 km."
pete_dushenski: "The immense power of the Energia provided
a capacity to place about 100 tonnes in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), up to 20 t to the geostationary orbit (GEO) and up to 32 t to
a translunar trajectory."
pete_dushenski: "The end result was
a powerhouse known as the Energia LV – which used four strap-on boosters, each powered by
a four-chamber RD-170 engine burning with kerosene/LOX, and
a central core stage with four single-chamber RD-0120 (11D122) engines fueled with liquid hydrogen/LOX"
pete_dushenski: "When faced with the requirement to make
a 200mt thrust LOX/LH2 engine, in tandem with reusability, the Soviets decided to ditch the reusable requirement."
pete_dushenski: made
a big splash, first in vancouver, about 1.5 years ago.
danielpbarron: >> Only the bitcoin releases 0.1.0 up to 0.1.5 which supported only Windows 2000 / Windows NT and Windows XP (perhaps Windows Vista). The next bitcoin release 0.2.0 from Dec 2009, nearly
a year later, starts to support Linux and the community got more and more actively involved in the development.
danielpbarron: can't do that. the timestamp is part of what makes
a block valid
☟︎ danielpbarron: and the unix timestamp thing is
a good example of when to hard fork
danielpbarron: would 0.5.3.1 reject
a block as valid that spent the block zero coin base? would "XT" do the opposite?
funkenstein_: BTCBanana: funkenstein, hahah why you invested in
a tech you don't understand go read the book by andreas
danielpbarron: >>
A Unix timestamp recording when this block was created (Currently limited to dates before the year 2106!)
☟︎☟︎ danielpbarron: >> The coinbase transaction in block zero cannot be spent. This is due to
a quirk of the reference client implementation that would open the potential for
a block chain fork if some nodes accepted the spend and others did not
danielpbarron: and couldn't find any web wallet or any service that would import
a private key
☟︎ danielpbarron: i had
a Litecoin "paper wallet" and wanted to sell into the price surge yesterday
danielpbarron: ;;later tell ahmed_ you should spend that litcoin to
a different address; I sent you the private key over plain text
hanbot: mod6 wunderbar! will be sure to pester as/if necessary. looks about

mod6: hanbot: I finally have
a guide you can follow for an amd64 (x86-64) Gentoo install on physical hardware. This guide is actually part
A (just the commands & notes) and part B (with examples from my own install process). trinque & I have both tested this independantly, and the steps got us to
a working install. Hopefully you'll get the same result! You should probably just read through both before actually doing anything. Here are the URL's to
BingoBoingo: mats: Up until 2013 the Japs. Problem is the Japs have such
a toxic culture towards starting pitchers. 2013 Dominican Republic won. Semifinal Part of the USA (Puerto Rico) beat the rest of USA
decimation: poor sops in wwii didn't have
a proper timer for anything
decimation: asciilifeform: lol the infantry equiv. of
a kamakaze raid
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for lobbesbot with note: tis my bot
mircea_popescu: small caliber not such
a bad idea. bb sprayer even better, of course.
decimation: although I guess the early panzerfausts only had
a 30m range!
decimation: yeah, anything to make them think they aren't gonna die in
a fire or hail of metal shards
decimation: at any rate, if
a competent infantryman gets close enough to be killed by pistol - you are already dead
decimation: lol "Other useless features were pistol ports (in the middle of
a tank battle I am going to throw my 1911.45 cal handgun into the mix!),"
decimation: asciilifeform: some forums I read suggest that they can't inspect your weapon (without
a warrant), just the tax stamp
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought zamac is actually an alloy not
a carbide
mircea_popescu: (break
a "solid metal" chinese item - see the porous microstructure)
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Now clay is
a material with wildly inconsistent properties << the difference between properly fired fine clay and the bizarre ceramic-like metal replacement the chinese use is slight.
BingoBoingo: "clean-shaven white man" << So much suspicion avoided by keeping
a beard
decimation: this whole hastert affair still pisses me off. imagine if
a state voted to make it illegal for
a bank to report your cash transaction to the feds
decimation: please do. if we can get someone to author anti kyc/aml regulation in some state it would be
a huge win for bitcoin
decimation: as long as the 'reform' you want is popular, the fed's hands are tied to
a degree
decimation: mats: yeah but it kinda demonstrated that the feds are
a paper tiger
BingoBoingo: decimation: it is
a grey area open to continuing litigation which is why the states in question pushed this kind of federal premption stuff forward, to keep the lawyers in an other than nekkid state
BingoBoingo: <decimation> well, can put .22 in
a pipe too << 12 ga better "pipe" caliber candidate
BingoBoingo: <decimation> I wonder if you can also craft
