ascii_field: incidentally (i wrote) a neat little proof of concept bin patch for bitcoind on winblows.
ben_vulpes: i don't see why plaintext is so bad, i mean to say.
ben_vulpes: i don't see why not.
mircea_popescu: (and i'm not entirely sure that encryption's worth jack shit, by the way, if someone feels like reading it)
ascii_field: (i like how it occurred to no one to ask why 1mb tx)
mircea_popescu: i been waitin' a long time honey!
mircea_popescu: yes i know. that pile of dung has to be exorcised.
mircea_popescu: if i want to make a txn that's 1mb, i do. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i was nonplussed that i can't make blocksized txn in 2012, i still am nonplussed.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was talking more in terms of how it's supposed to go. i'm aware the current pos is a pos.
ascii_field: i'll sum it up here. 1) sane node -always, without exception- connects to as many wot nodes as are up 2) then possibly connects to others from cache
brendafdez: re: Businesscards. I found a QR code with a BTC address, and now, also the GPG fingerprint, provide a good excuse to hand it out without sounding like you're forcing them. "Where do I send the btc?" --"Here!" (:
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nah, i write my own drivers. in vi.
mircea_popescu: While investigating this rather innocuous looking program I discovered that it accepts commands by listening for HTTP requests on localhost:8884 and that the security restrictions Dell put in place are easily bypassed, meaning an attacker could trigger the program to download and install any arbitrary executable from a remote location with no user interaction at all.

mircea_popescu: that also. but i just mean know, not necessarily act, to give them a chance.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: aite, the Mars thing has been out for a while. I'll keep looking for the next one.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i think by now we know more about scams than ny's da office, collectively.
mircea_popescu: nah i dun mean this one specifically.
BingoBoingo: I'll write it up
mircea_popescu: lol i need new fucking bylines.
trinque: I was an asshole before I read you, though
nubbins`: you wrote an essay on this, i ...oh, heh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i know that part, i'm not arguing roundly for its merits.
trinque: I got drunk and started giving a loud speech at a bar about how great markets are
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> cazalla just for the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy to get in a 100 years : i'd totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase these social justice idiocies, get insiders to spill the beans. << Medium is just some twitter founder's take on blogger. It only holds writing from the people who choose to blog there for fre
nubbins`: "but i do"
nubbins`: anyway, much flatter a power struggle, i like that
thestringpuller: i guess ppl jus stoopid and don't know scamming doesn't pay
thestringpuller: i wonder if one day effort to be scammer will outweight that of doing actual work

wsbtc: The more I read that page, the more I realize I didn't know nearly as much about Bitcoin as I though I did.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you think ? the things i've seen people brag about since then...
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i just realised, talking to punkman yest, that we've actually been here for well over three years.
mircea_popescu: "Hello, I am inviting you to check this Investment opertunity with bitcoins. "
wsbtc: Hi, I'm here to learn more about bitcoin and I understand that this is the place to do it. Where should I begin?
nubbins`: what i should've said was "there's a word for something else, it escapes me"
nubbins`: i play low-battery roulette
nubbins`: oh, i'm thinking silkscreening the design on paper
nubbins`: am i allowed to ask for them yet? 8)

cazalla: as for ads, i've wanted to run them for a while, but credible advertisers are lacking
ascii_field: i still like the pcb business cards idea - in the abstract
danielpbarron: i ask for business cards all the time
cazalla: i can't think of anything more obnoxious than someone giving you their business card, it's pretty much them saying, "here, you're obligated to put this either in your bidness card holder or the bin", perhaps i don't have the sophistication to appreciate bidness cards like ol' buffett (or whoever it is that collects em like baseball cards) but whatevs
danielpbarron: https://i.imgur.com/svMadu3.png
danielpbarron: i like white cards
nubbins`: personally i'd go with mid-grey ink
danielpbarron: i like the key fingerprint thing
nubbins`: i don't want to decide for 12 people what info they'll have on their cards
danielpbarron: i think gold on black is tacky
cazalla: nubbins`, that's ugly imo, we don't use @qntra.net for email, but more importantly i am not fussed on this idea of bidness cards, so best to ask the others for input
nubbins`: some people, i tell ya
danielpbarron: there was a cat that used to roam around outside that i would let sleep inside on occasion; i think it mothered a litter and died
ascii_field: i imagine that i wouldn't want to be tamed if i were them
ascii_field: people find it puzzling but it is kinda the reason i don't try to tame them and keep them inside
ascii_field: nubbins`: i like cats.
ascii_field: i tried to feed'em once but they like the neighbours' more
danielpbarron: i just poured tuna water down the drain not 2 hours ago
ascii_field: the smaller one, i think, lives under my shed
nubbins`: i'd say
ascii_field: i saw a most peculiar cat scene the other day
nubbins`: today, as i'm watching them eat supper, older cat tires of her food and just starts eating from younger cat's dish; younger cat retreats and waits for her turn :0
nubbins`: so we got a second cat back in november and i've been mildly worried that she's a bit aggressive towards our older cat
nubbins`: and i mean like fistfuls of skin and fat blended w/ the meat, pushed through sieve, whole deal
ascii_field: do i even want to know.
ascii_field: i though the 'jar' was just a turd that loads from blockchain.info
ascii_field: i did.
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1064867 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1064869 << somewhere I have an excel function that does this, grabs balance from blockchain.info or some such website ☝︎☝︎
nubbins`: i've had people "tip" me dimes on a couple of occasion
ascii_field: at any rate, i assumed that the ads thing was neither fun nor threatened to replace ben_vulpes's day job
PeterL: I thought ben_vulpes only stopped because too busy with other stuff?
PeterL: wouldn't ads provide milk? or am I misunderstanding that reference?
nubbins`: i just took that from the "about" page
nubbins`: mircea_popescu BingoBoingo cazalla thestringpuller http://i.imgur.com/QXYS4ee.png
PeterL: but I wouldn't notice the denver massacre if it was happening around me while I am watching a movie
jurov: http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/03/images-fool-computer-vision-raise-security-concerns lol i had this opened already
PeterL: I've never noticed people using cell phones at movies
funkenstein_: nubbins, re: 0.5.3.1 after a couple days i am up to 220k blocks. just like the old days isn't it?
PeterL: what I mean is there is such a small amount bet on the bet, you might spend more than you would win holding the price up. Spend tens of btc to win .003 btc?
PeterL: s.mpoe price i mean
jurov: lol current qntr sell depth is just bitcents. if i wanted to sway it for the bet to win, would have to start trading with myself
PeterL: I guess anybody who bets on yes should make a point to come in here and do !t for each periodically
nubbins`: i can't imagine they did :D
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> tangentially, i wonder if someone who chose to name their company "Eris Industries" ever used IRC in the 90s. << Incredilol
funkenstein_: i think line number two is pretty important and looks like a common theme from the ethereum team
funkenstein_: hmm that sounds interesting, i wonder how that is quantified
funkenstein_: so I can put a non-halting program into the blockchain, and all counterparty nodes will stall?
danielpbarron: Anything that one could ever do with Ethereum, one can now do with Bitcoin and Counterparty. << i guess that's the final nail in ethereum's coffin
danielpbarron: well dang .. i didn't know they added that nonsense
nubbins`: TIL i own a 7" single that's worth $85
danielpbarron: i see btcjam made the list
trinque: when I start refining human flesh into foodstuffs we can talk about sinfully earned money
trinque: anyhow, clarity of the morning is; I'm through with her
nubbins`: what am i looking at
nubbins`: i know for a fact that my wide-format Epson doesn't
nubbins`: FWIW i think it's only laser printers that do this
punkman: I've been wondering how I'd go about finding a non-shit printer
