jurov: ^ i know dude personally, he's owner of security (not snakeoil) company
jurov: i know. still think worth trying
jurov: http://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/2vj079/usd_fraud_collapses_suitability_of_usd_for_law/ i'm curious what will come out of this
cazalla: could've been the video but i'm betting it was the flag
mircea_popescu: i had no idea how much fun being a news contributor actually is :D
mircea_popescu: i thought it could run all over 2015.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo btw, i'd like to propose a gentleman's contest, for the "best ever usd will fail" paragraph.

danielpbarron: requires login to comment so i'll just stick this here: Burger King isn't burdened with having to keep track of all McDonalds orders; this is a misleading comparison to bitcoin
coventry: Going to sleep now, but I have a question and will check up in the morning: I read the mpex.co FAQ, including #17. Why would someone pay 30 BTC to participate in this market?
cazalla: btw, i'm am not seriously suggesting it's a legit complaint :)
cazalla: i fucking hate spiders and there is no worse place for them than down under
ben_vulpes: i speak of the post-bezzle world.
asciilifeform: i've used $1/2mil instruments that shipped with with a 'dell' box running 'xp home.'
ben_vulpes: yup i'm right there with you
ben_vulpes: be it 5, 10, 20, i don't really care.
ben_vulpes: i played dnd with the other one in college
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-02-2015#1015000 << you're the second nerdiest black guy i know ☝︎
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-02-2015#1014942 << i found that whole saga endlessly amusing ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i have no clue
ben_vulpes: anyways your wot your rules, i'm just ribbing you for apparent triviality.
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: just looks like a slapfight from over here is all i'm saying.
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 11:40:01; mircea_popescu: when i was 18, the average 18 yo could support himself.
ben_vulpes: i'm going to pretty quickly and steeply discount your rating inputs
ben_vulpes: i mean i go to you later and say "hey whaddaya know about justusranvier, did he run with some coins or something?"
danielpbarron: i found out i was blocked from reading that PeterTodd thread about the blocksize
danielpbarron: i wasn't even interacting with him
cazalla: thestringpuller, mine is Violent Professional.. i like it :)
thestringpuller: so pete_dus_ I'm trying to find the Volvo version of Saddam to buy
pete_dus_: i'll be big someday and then you'll be sorry!
pete_dus_: i'll throw it back up later
pete_dus_: i ate my own enski...
pete_dus_: cazalla lol i missed the bomb threats!
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: not so simple (doable, though) - it has to run from rom. you almost certainly must use 'buildroot.' i have a 'buildroot' config that grinds out a kernel and a userland, but said kernel fails to boot and produces no output to /dev/ttyS0 - despite being configured to do so. evidently the support for Marvell chips in the mainline 3.xx kernels is bogus.
danielpbarron: well i would still like to put gentoo on my pogo inplace of arch, even if it is not the final solution
danielpbarron: i so wish that programmer castle school existed
danielpbarron: i like your high standards :D
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: linux 2.6.x kernel is a mega-turd. and while there remains a single line therein which does not execute during the normal operation of bitcoind-on-pogo, i will maintain that this is true.
danielpbarron: i haven't tried it yet
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i have not been able to build the linux that comes with pogo. the included patches do not apply cleanly.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: but try to understand a more fundamental principle here. eventually this needs to turn into a system with -no- extraneous parts. as in, i take a stick and point to a byte, and you are able to tell me why it is there.
danielpbarron: i have its source
asciilifeform: i'm taking a forced break, simply have no time presently
asciilifeform: and while i could, with some effort, shoehorn bitcoind into one of the still-produced alternatives for 'pogo' - all of which have no more than 32M of ram - it presumes something other than the mega-turd that linux kernel is.
mircea_popescu: btw re ers : i'm not so sure about all that barnacle. isn't the guy a major libertarian ?
mircea_popescu: "As mentioned earlier, in any case I will happily accept and install LLDB support into gud.el. So as long as I'm Emacs maintainer, your opinion on whether this might ruin the FSF's goals are not relevant."
asciilifeform: let's do a 'trichotomy' on the netbsd thing. as far as i can see, there are three and only three possibilities in a case like this (i am deliberately not including the forth, of my being a muppet.) 1) whole orchestra -never- worked 2) once worked, but a sniveling shitgnome fucked with the docs 3) docs were once correct and described a working sys, but a sniveling shitgnome changed the code 'because pr0gr3ss' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think you;ll enjoy my write-up, if it gets picked up :D
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Best I can tell as always ESR simply thinks he can avoid starvation
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've waken today to a rather full plate, maybe someone else wants.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can only conclude that he is an apple/usg shill.
mircea_popescu: i thought i broke it.
asciilifeform: and the frustrating thing is, i have the kernel built. and all standard userland proggys. but ramdisk also needs the /dev and /etc; the former - has to get crapped out of a build script thingie that refuses to grind
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've built perfectly usable netbsd boxes previously. but this one -has- to be a cross-compile. and live in ramdisk.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know people who have tried and gave up.
danielpbarron: man the redditards have amnesia i guess; they used to use the honeybadger example of "bitcoin don't give a bit!"
mircea_popescu: i just said it wasn't invented lol.
beetcoin: well, i realize bitcoin is not a sentient 'actor'
asciilifeform: i was specifically thinking about the out-of-order crapolade.
beetcoin: I have read some of the logs, but it is rather a lot to read
beetcoin: not that I necessarily disagree,
beetcoin: I'm curious about the general sentiment around here that says bitcoin should not scale. That it is not for "the common man".
nubbins`: as a percentage of average download speed, i guess
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i strictly meant the point discussed above, "bootstrap"
BingoBoingo: jurov: well, there is a torrent published for bootstrap.dat. atm only > 0.9 supports it << I thought 0.7.2 and later all support it, 0.7.2 being the only version to unpack it as BDB blockchain
mircea_popescu: ok i delete the first two keep the last ?
thestringpuller: i blame asciilifeform
punkman: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2340 "nobody uses nlocktime, how am I gonna built stupid shit on top of it. I know let's make the core wallet use nlocktime on all the transactions."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll give it a read
beetcoin: I'm not in the WoT yet.
beetcoin: wow, I have voice.
mircea_popescu: such sense this makes i couldn't begin to tell you.
nubbins`: i'll put a pin in this, too ^
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i hope they do this as you describe it, easily maximal lulz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i already bought a bunch of the pogo guys
mircea_popescu: and as far as i hear you can't really sell A series as a non profit.
mircea_popescu: notice who is driving this boat : i want to improve incentive structure for nodes ? they execute.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is very easy to set. but i wanted to see logic.
mircea_popescu: or i guess i'll ask danielpbarron to include instructions on how to arbitrarily set it.
asciilifeform: in general i agree re: 'wrestling with the pig', but i'm at a loss re: how we aren't simply wearing bull's eyes for no particular reason
mircea_popescu: "Skipping a bunch of details, they left something in her and it was the cause of last week's night in the ER. The working theory is it is a part from the surgical robot that got dislodged or broken off as all their sponge, suture, and staple counts were on. Regardless, it wasn't there before and it is now and I have no idea what the fuck is going to happen next. According to my wife, the surgeon is of the opinion that
mircea_popescu: i am terribly curious how the us would look should the eu decide to sanction IT for half a year.
ben_vulpes: "cleanest shirt in the room" is the phrase i hear our financial "pundits" bandy about.
thestringpuller: "Bitnodes uses Bitcoin protocol version 70001 (i.e. >= /Satoshi:0.8.x/), so nodes running an older protocol version will be skipped."
mircea_popescu: in any case, i guess they don't manage in however many posts to get to addressing the key point of "who pays davis' salary these days".
mircea_popescu: eh, nm, what am i asking.
nubbins`: i had coffee and two homemade cookies
mircea_popescu: this is why i oppose change.
thestringpuller: nubbins`: I was being facetious!
thestringpuller: davout: i kno. i'm just being a h8er. Can't I just hate on people.
thestringpuller: https://appsto.re/us/QI_74.i << so someone also stole the deedbot idea?
thestringpuller: jurov: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2vbi45/i_find_it_comedic_that_people_think_bitcoin_can/cogl1ke << some redditard
asciilifeform: (netbsd's cross-build system is buggy as all hell, and it may turn out that i'm the only one trying to use it in anger presently)
asciilifeform: re: pogo: i have a cross-compile setup of netbsd for pogo (run on any reasonable unix) working
nubbins`: 5 tabs of info about tunneling diodes... "oh, wait, i was reading an article"
nubbins`: i guess my pogoplug will arrive this week?
