danielpbarron: thestringpuller, sure
I wouldn't mind someone reading something that had already been written down; that's more like an audio book than a podcast
sjsqd: danielpbarron:when
I get the time
I will probably get a harddrive, install a barebones Debian installation on different partitions for each altcoin
sjsqd: although
I did manage to compile a few wallets on Ubuntu successfully
sjsqd: that is when
I get stumped
sjsqd: danielpbarron:to be fair when it comes to interviews
I'd rather hear the full conversation rather than what someone else has cut up from the discussion
danielpbarron: sjsqd, not that
i'm recommmending debian, but it uses a package manager that downloads binaries, not source
thestringpuller: jurov:
i kno rite. so not only will someone kidnap me, they'll cut off or extract appendages to unlock my stuff...
sjsqd: the problem
I have with debian is that unless you run some specific version (
I usually run the latest version) most of the documentation on the internet is kinda only 75% there
sjsqd: danielpbarron:yeah
I tried it once on a VPS but it didn't end well
sjsqd: the biggest thing
I've noticed about computer security is that its almost impossible to get decent biometric security
sjsqd: screen.
I hate screen.
sjsqd: its all about balancing convenience vs security
I suppose
sjsqd:
I've run a few debian VPS servers before
sjsqd:
I will be moving all my financial things onto Ubuntu or something similar fairly soon though
sjsqd: and
I'm writing articles about the bitcoin foundation
sjsqd: but at the moment
I have a family member in intensive care unit
danielpbarron: and even that is a bit pricy --
i picked one with a fast GPU
sjsqd:
I have a laptop and
I am moving *towards* that
sjsqd: tbh, if
I had the choice
I'd have a separate computer for linux and a separate computer for windows
sjsqd:
I understand open source could probably do a better job
sjsqd:
I do some photography work so using Adobe is pretty much mandated
sjsqd:
I don't care if its a lifeboat on the titanic
sjsqd:
I would never, ever personally use anything branded by Apple in a million years
sjsqd: danielpbarron:as much as
I understand what you're saying its difficult to explain to people the fire safety aspect
sjsqd: and
I don't carry any worthwhile amount on my phone
sjsqd: but beyond having to scrape into my savings to pay for a VPS here or there
I actually don't have any way to spend it here yet
sjsqd: On a recent flight
I used the plane's WiFi which cost like 1 USD
sjsqd: asciilifeform:
I haven't really spent any, only to show friends how it works
sjsqd:
I'm not wealthy (at all) so its more an incapability of keeping more bitcoin at the moment
sjsqd: PeterL:
I obviously do, but have little choice in the matter
sjsqd: PeterL:there is almost nowhere to even spend it here (beyond paying web hosting bills etc) so
I am pretty much saving it right now
sjsqd: asciilifeform:yes
I kind of understand that bitcoin is more of a long term cryptocurrency (my view anyway) than a day-to-day currency for a number of reasons
sjsqd:
I hate operating hours of banks (even though you can access full bank services till like 10PM at nighttime here)
sjsqd: and my card has been cloned once, and
I've had tons of issues with my bank
sjsqd:
I only ever pay with cash or my card
sjsqd: asciilifeform:that's why
I want to pay with bitcoin or something similar
sjsqd: and
I've seen firsthand how depending upon culture people will dump their life savings into buying some gold
sjsqd:
I personally believe that the entire gold/silver/etc markets are manipulated like crazy
sjsqd: asciilifeform:no
I'm very sceptical of gold for a number of reasons
sjsqd: asciilifeform:haha yes there are 2-3 of them, no
I don't own any gold
sjsqd: PeterL:
I enjoy eating
sjsqd:
I'm looking at upgrading to a phone with a fingerprint scanner
sjsqd:
I need it for work unfortunately
sjsqd: PeterL depends,
I try to be sensible about what
I install
sjsqd: PeterL:
I use my phone, Windows computer and a VPS or two to store my coins
sjsqd: and
I live in a city where the government evolves quickly
sjsqd: and
I really like the idea of being able to carry around my money on my phone
sjsqd: but
I've read as much as my mind can understand on it (
I'm not a coder though)
sjsqd: and
I went and played games
sjsqd:
I read about bitcoin a few years back
sjsqd:
I understand the idea of bitcoin universes,
I didn't get into it to make a quick buck selling for cash or anything
sjsqd:
I don't personally listen to them but there are some interesting topics
PeterL:
I would much prefer to read an article than to listen to some guy talking
sjsqd:
I might look at writing something for qntra
sjsqd: danielpbarron:
I was referring to a different blog
sjsqd: BingoBoingo:thanks
I'll have a look on there
sjsqd: even with hundreds of thousands of page views
I only ever made about 70 USD over 2-3 years
☟︎ sjsqd:
I used to blog years and years ago
sjsqd: where
I live
I can't buy bitcoins easily
sjsqd: danielpbarron:
I'm not interested in writing for money anyway
danielpbarron:
i wrote 2 paragraphs for qntra and its worth like 15 bucks
sjsqd: because
I made some posts saying the website wasn't adequate in certain terms
sjsqd:
I found out about let's talk bitcoin via the foundation forums (andresen forums if you want to call it that)
sjsqd: Thanks
I will check it out
sjsqd: No
I hadn't heard of it
sjsqd: she gets a cut before
I do
sjsqd: its all calculated automatically as far as
I'm aware
sjsqd: (
I'm pretty sure
I'm allowed to disclose that)
sjsqd: but
I am holding the LTBcoin
sjsqd:
I got about 180k for the first one
sjsqd: ahh
I see the URL for logs in the title
sjsqd: BingoBoingo:
I'm not that well acquainted with how the different clients originated or their quality, more just a question of whether it is a bitcoin or an altcoin client; from what
I understand it is a bitcoin client
sjsqd: ok
I will save everyone's time and look through the mailing list,
I might return with some further questions later on
sjsqd: but
I assume the client you work on is different to bitcoin core?
☟︎ sjsqd:
I guess the term official/alternative isn't the best to use
sjsqd:
I'm still quite new to bitcoin, is the client that you release an alternative client?
PeterL: is gmaxwell associated with the phoundation?
I remember him coming by here a few times
sjsqd:
I will probably be publishing a third at some point this week
sjsqd: This is the first article
I made if anyone is interested
sjsqd: ok great,
I will keep a record of this channel in my notes then
sjsqd:
I will look at the mailing list, if
I have further questions is there any email address
I could use or is this IRC channel the best method of communication?
sjsqd: which
I'm not aware anyone else has done so far
sjsqd:
I have done quite an amount of research on the foundation but never seen this page
sjsqd:
I couldn't find much reference to the original foundation in the documentation
sjsqd:
I'm writing some articles on the bitcoin foundation via Let's Talk Bitcoin
PeterL:
I am sure you can search for "search engine optimization", or SEO, and lots of sites will come up who promise to help
jurov: trinque, have you tried drakon editor?
i actually use it for business logic
mod6: jurov: so as far as shorter release cycles,
i think going forward they will be. the foundation will focus on say, one specific problem and then tackle it, patch it, and then regression test, release.
Pierre_Rochard: jurov:
I am, brain had not connected all the way to “
I should try it out”
mod6: when we release there will be a formal annoucement to the mailing list, signed patches by ben &
I, and an included signed tar of the patched source code with release notes.
mod6: haha. ok. but
i don't see a problem with testing our own thing. even if no one else uses this,
i'd like to know if it works or not.
jurov: but
i understand you as management that wants to label the product somehow,
jurov:
i am just not placing any expectations to any piece of software anymore
