mircea_popescu: and re bass-o-matic, note that while ineptly implemented, the origianl p.z. had the exact same intuition. it happens to be the correct posture here, with the expansion that 25 years added - back then 256bytes was a disk block iirc.
mircea_popescu: going ahead just because the horse you're on happens to want to go is how the christian knights were assraped again and again. rein it in, the horse is yours not you the horse's.
mircea_popescu: it's a toy, or at best a ready equivalent for haskell crap in a different circle jerk.
mircea_popescu: yeh. i mean the inkling is good, but this seems a footnote in something else.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so i'm reading here a 500 word opinion piece about mercedes in qntra. why ? not newsy, not bitcon-y, not funny, what is it.
mircea_popescu: up until the point ascii_butugychag made shiva, it made sense to refrain from multi-genesis situaiton for complaisance. but now that there's two, might as well have 3 and this one is actually useful.
mircea_popescu: btw, for the list of "best shit in the world only found in argentina" it's cherry season and omfg. never have i had black cherries like they have here.
mircea_popescu: where the fuck do these idiots find all the roadkill already.

mircea_popescu: maybe not as self-combustingly insane as the Bitcoin notion of "accounts" , but still.
mircea_popescu: by now the gap is so large people can't even grasp it.
mircea_popescu: "Cold storage was innovated by the Armory Bitcoin wallet. Armory provide a first-of-its-kind interface for easily managing offline wallets for true cold storage. "
mircea_popescu: simple "offline" qt : have two talk to each other, inspect the interface, extract tx, dump it to printer.
mircea_popescu: what distinction do you do there ? so you sign the txn on one system, and dump it as a rawtx on another. this is a big deal somehow ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah eventyally got to the rest of the log.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli the reason you're getting so much grief is that it's not clear how your premises work. i mean i get it, you want to help people, and teach them about otc and so on. this is one thing. but i mean what did you do, i don't follow, reimplement gpg as a java thing ?
mircea_popescu: istory is a byword for dead and buried, which ties into why he will never be able to write a book.
mircea_popescu: "I could probably write a book about the depth and complexity of events of the past year, the lessons I've learned and the personalities I've dealth with. However, at this point it's all history, and I've always been more interested in planning the future than dwelling too much on the past." << no, he couldn';t write a book. not anymore than boshiman could build a city on all the land he walks. moreover, orc imagines h
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and missing the "as mp said back in january 2015" bit, of course.

mircea_popescu: phf and i don't need to see anything re genesis etc. just about the final destination.
mircea_popescu: meaning that all those contributed and the press depends on either a set made out of alf or a set made out of mod6
mircea_popescu: but how i'd expect this to look is C (asciilifeform mircea_popescu mod6 trinque) D (asciilifeform), (mod6)
mircea_popescu: phf well it's ok-ish in the sense that i have all the data to try and do the work by my own eyes.
mircea_popescu: well... for a while i kept sending it nonraw dpastes, but hey.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, the name for the opposite attitude used here is "power ranger". because totally.
mircea_popescu: no i mean, #bitcoin-assets etc. trying to understand how it works, fixing the code etc.
mircea_popescu: an argument persuasive enough that the whole foundation and the most serene republic is hard at work doing just that.
mircea_popescu: similarly to how my argument is that rather than "improving" bitcoin, that time'd be better spent fixing the codebase as it is.
mircea_popescu: we so far fired a single bullet out of a gun we don't even know who the fuck made. seems a lot of unwarranted cockyness all around for this little knowledge.
mircea_popescu: this IS of course true, provided the child manages to alter the powder charge too, so the bullet's speed and its angle are always in the right ratio.
mircea_popescu: he then thinks to himself : "i could shoot as high or as low as i want, and the bullet wouldstill hit the apple, because i'm that special, and because that's what man made muskets for and how bullets work etc".
mircea_popescu: now this child sees an apple in the tree, shoots at it and hits.
