BingoBoingo: Yeah, but it's lulzy
to watch
the mutilation victims rave about
their "victories" as
the chainsaw revs for another pass.
mircea_popescu: it was fully gm'd back when i wrote
that article. such dun help.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: BCH has a lulzy
twist, a difficulty blow off valve for
this contingency. Insures
terminal yo-yo'ing
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the "Turkey dollars" refers
to
the dollars
that could buy BTC
whaack: I guess when
the miners stop raising
the difficulty
BingoBoingo: How do you know if
they have BTC
to prop up? Wouldn't be
the first
time
the insolvent lied.
whaack: until whatever chest of btc
they have is drained
whaack: well you don't get stuck without a block, but you get 2016 very quick blocks (that
the
turkey dollars club must have btc
to prop up) and
then 12h or w/e without a block
BingoBoingo: Even with BCH's "Emergency difficulty adjustment" (allegedly drops difficulty after X
time without a block found)
whaack: Seems like
the miners have an additional incentive
to go back
to btc after driving up
the bch difficulty, since in addition
to
the 4x bch difficulty
the btc difficulty will have dipped (however slightly) due
to
their absence while mining bch.

mircea_popescu: no, it was around ww2,
they just stole all real estate.
ben_vulpes: you mean it wasn't all whining and pleases and you shoulds
the first
time
through?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes amusingly,
this dekulakization v2.0 very pussy-like.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: hey if everything can't be free, maybe we can guilt whitey into giving us
their houses and inheritances
ben_vulpes: but
the error i hit was 'pthread: command not found', which...wat
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Remember
that when a leftist group gets COINTELPRO'd
that it's because USG wants
the shit
they are selling
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: lol
that leo piece. "left is hell-bent on discrediting itself", or how did it go
ben_vulpes: bringing a
trb node up on whatever gentoo image scaleway has; 'pthread: command not found', log notes indicate patch necessary
to cmake CheckIncludeFiles.cmake, investigation of which shows...no cmake on
this box
ben_vulpes: today's american political wtf: "John Brown, of an anti-Trump group calling itself
the Redneck Revolt, wore military fatigues and had an AK-47 rifle strapped
to his chest as he and a half dozen others from
the group stood about 30 feet behind
the barricade for protesters. He said
they were
there
to protect
Trump opponents and stand up
to fascism."
mike_c: how
the fuck is litecoin still a
thing
mike_c: still? I guess boost qualifies as
that
ben_vulpes: mike_c: it is, after all, windows
technology
mike_c: doh.
trb node stalled out.
BingoBoingo: I
thought it popped up around ClassicCoin's proposal
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it predates
trb by a bit at least, ya.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it was one of
those "please
to submit your version details" so... i did. can't recall if i actually clicked
the "emergent consensus" button seriously or in jest, or if it was something
that
the hosts
ticked, but it was definitely a
test
to see if
they'd keep it up or not. looks like
they have.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes evidently
they're pissy about "he
took our jerbs".
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: gems in
the linked piece in re bulldozer on
tracks
pete_dushenski: lol pretty sure i wrote
that coin.dance blurb however many years back
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes is
the contention union position is unreasonable ?

things,
https://coin.dance/nodes << never saw
this one before, pretty cool blurb
there on
trb.
mircea_popescu has been staring at
this log snippet incomprehendingly.
BingoBoingo: <whaack> so..does
the USD monthly fee estimates imply it doesn't matter if you posses
the metal? and if it doesn't matter, what are
the hosting suggestions/guidelines? << A node is not a wallet, doesn't hurt
to spread a few around.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i mean, a
trb capable machine is somewhere in
the 50-100 bux / month range, certainly an expense but not
the end of
the world. << Negrodamus, i.e. 192.187.99.74 rents for less
ben_vulpes: and recommendation ssd; although spinning rust not impossibru
to get by with it ain't long for
this world.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No idea what
the concretes are beyond
the admission
that poverty is
the condition of having a dysfunctional WoT
ben_vulpes:
http://archive.is/oxRxc << ...unions refuse "to accept responsibility for service disruptions
that negatively affect
the customers when we have no input on operational changes."

mircea_popescu: whaack dun imply anything, you can surely put
together older gear in your den or w/e.
mircea_popescu: us army
trying
to "sort out america" would last sixteen hours. provided
they start early in
the morning.
mircea_popescu: lol @lafond "us military is called in
to sort out what is left of america". here's
the scoop : us military is <100k, most of which desk flyers, out of shape and combat-useless. ever since vietnam all
the us army did was "consultancy", for locals willing
to fight, where
they could be found.
whaack: so..does

mod6: To all L1 who do not have a
TRB node yet, please start
this process now-ish, and let me know if you need a hand standing one up when ready.
mircea_popescu: i mean, a
trb capable machine is somewhere in
the 50-100 bux / month range, certainly an expense but not
the end of
the world.
mod6: I guess I'd like
to see all of L1 at least have a
trb node at least sync'ing by years end.
That's a good goal.
mod6: well, I
think we should certainly encourage all
to run a node. but yeah, maybe give it some
time. my node is close, but 20k blocks behind currently.

http://thebitcoin.foundation/trusted-nodes.html mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 since

think
that might make
this setup not count you
