A key with that fingerprint is already registered by funkenstein_
ben_vulpes: perhaps next year i'll take two weeks off and spend
a few days in nyc with friends
ben_vulpes: i imagine the forbidden city is
a bit more well trafficked.
mircea_popescu: kinda like cccp was
a "major airtrafic hub" for internal flights only.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is
a point. istanbul is
a major airtraffic hub. the us... not.
ben_vulpes: the local airport is nominally 'international', but only to select destinations and not many into s.
a., much less efficiently over to the south atl.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: if you aren't
a miser, and don't want to layover in two separate banana republics summing to
a full 24 hrs' journey each way << this however doesn't ?!
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well, if you manage to install OpenBSD it's basically closer to
a normal OpenBSD environment than the pogo is.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Once you do that see if you can get
a bitcoin build upon it.
chetty: hahaha not sure thats
a great choice for light airline reading
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> i'll fuck around with the pogo and hopefully learn
a thing or two, that but that aside, what are odds shitty ram is cause of my problems.. memtest86 cites errors and i actually did have
a couple blackouts
a month back << Rather high
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> but i even tried 0.10 out of pure frustration and it wouldn't work either.. i actually think it might be related to ram in this pc, memtest86 reports bunch of errors << Bad Ram can keep
a lot of things from working
ben_vulpes: the strategic banana is
a red herring.
mircea_popescu: "
A key growth hack we developed was the ability to show different headlines for social and search so we didn’t impact our search traffic."
mircea_popescu: you could have bought that and driven it to
a ytmnd for all the good they do anyone.
mircea_popescu: "The amazing thing about the platform is that it is
a flat fee. This means that although our traffic has grown 350% year on year our costs have not changed. The depth of their out of the box features plus ecosystem of plugins ensured that we did’t have to worry about commodity features such as SEO, site maps and editorial workflows as someone else had built and open sourced an approach."
mircea_popescu: "We also migrated to the hosted platform as
a service provided by Automattic on vip.wordpress.com. This enabled all of our costs and resources to be focused on growth as they didn’t have to worry about caching, servers or anything that didn’t improve experience for our readers or editorial users. "
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2015 05:01:21; decimation: asciilifeform: apparently you need
a manor-house with
a library
funkenstein_: you can totally trust me. i can take
a picture of myself licking
a hammer.
funkenstein_: based on how long it's taken me to find my way over here I am going to be
a slow learner so thanks in advance for your patience
mircea_popescu: interesting : he tries to fight obscurity, going to extreme lengths to put
a spotlight on himself
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ^ chgeck it out, the internet breaks
a little more.
assbot: My wife has
a useless degree and
a history of mall jobs. Any advice to de-rutify her? : careerguidance ... (

mircea_popescu: "We don’t think of bitcoin as being [...] an alternative currency [...]. We think of it as
a medium for exchange"
ben_vulpes: trinque was bitching earlier today about getting
a 418 TEAPOT from
a production point of sale system
cazalla: i'll leave you
a note if you're not around anyway
ben_vulpes: if you find that this is *not*
a ram issue, i'll provide you ssh access to
a thing on which you can run
a bitcoind.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, unfortunately, i need
a lot of hand holding as i can only get so far myself so i would likely cause you more trouble than be of help
cazalla: i'll go buy
a cheap stick of ram tmw and try again
cazalla: i'll fuck around with the pogo and hopefully learn
a thing or two, that but that aside, what are odds shitty ram is cause of my problems.. memtest86 cites errors and i actually did have
a couple blackouts
a month back
cazalla: well that's why i have
a pogo otw
mircea_popescu: that idiocy aside, using skein's not necessarily
a bad choice
cazalla: over the past few days i've tried
a fresh install with 0.8.3, 0.8.6 and 0.10.0 and all have problems, and yes fresh as in fresh as i wiped hdd each time
ben_vulpes: was that
a fresh sync or using an old blockchain?
cazalla: not that i was trying to use 0.10.0, that was just
a last resort past few days
cazalla: anyway, point i was trying to make last night was drunk, bad decision or not, i have done this many times over past year and it would always get
a full chain after
a day, but can't since 0.10.0 came out
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ideally it'd have
a performance based model, where it sorts the connections according to
a "value", periodically kicking the bottom one and taking
a new one in
cazalla: i actually have older chain here on external hdd so im copying that over, it isn't
a full one either though, i believe it is from other day when trying 0.8.6 so will try soon
ben_vulpes: not the hardcoded list, but the list of candidates constructed at/during runtime from which
a node may consider downloading blocks.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, ya know what i'm yet to figure out about such pics, under what circumstances do people get naked like this at
a wedding?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's traditionally
a device to humiliate the girls, but the degree!
ben_vulpes: as
a side note, it's lovely to see pastebin die the good death.
ben_vulpes: anyways cazalla your mission should you choose to accept it is to run down some useful debug information from
a 0.8.6 that refuses to sync. i suggest booting your bitcoind with the -debug flag.
ben_vulpes: well you have places to hunt now don't you? and
a foundation to whom to report shitgnomery in the wild?
ben_vulpes: and then THEN you need to point the thing at
a known-good node and see if you get the same results.
ben_vulpes: <cazalla> ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu
a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot to backup blocks so i had to dl it all again, but not able to do so despite blowing about 100gb on trying << dude i need more than this
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell bagehot lmk if you want
a hand with setting up networks off of the mainchain
ben_vulpes: <bagehot> [02:58] the keys used to keep bitcoins
a store of value are. << wat
mircea_popescu: that's the important thing about colonialism : it is
a plain statement of the fundamental worthlessness of the locals. what it says is that their culture is not worth reading.
mircea_popescu: that's the point of colonialism : much like b-
a, you may only join it nude.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> presently the only package of -source- i've succeeded in building into
a kernel that can be used on pogo - was netbsd. << it's over. eat
a strategic banana, let them have the abandoned fortresses, move to the hills and build batteries of cheapish ground and air control devices to hold no mans land, lick wounds, regroup.
cazalla: anyway, i have
a pogo otw, we'll see what comes of that next week
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no dude, iut's not
a real thing. the idea was that somehow there's
a cutoff : up to moment t, imigrants are
a ok. at t+1 they're now cattle. well, how do you choose t ?
cazalla: ya, i know, but i was using 0.8.3 and i have at times in the past thought fuck it, i'll just download the blockchain after
a format
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu
a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot to backup blocks so i had to dl it all again, but not able to do so despite blowing about 100gb on trying
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:15:53; gabriel_laddel: the political position of "they're cattle, we're not" is totally
A OK.
ben_vulpes: wouldn't it be handy to have
a thing that could watch the output of n different 'bitcoin's running in real time?
ben_vulpes: your 0.8.6 all of
a sudden refuses to sync further?
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 12:53:40; cazalla: and i am stuck using fucking electrum since then because for some reason, since bitcoin-qt 0.10.0 came out, my old 0.8.3, 0.8.6 throws errors and i can't fully sync and even lame attempt to try 0.10.0 falls flat.. i think maybe memory is fucked though unrelated, memtest86 throws
a bunch of errors
ben_vulpes: but on the other hand "you're
a parent now - you must sacrifice your whole life for the new life"

decimation: you might want to actually have
a valid email too
decimation: bagehot: did you upload it to
a keyserver?
bagehot: For the <full_gpg_keyid> I'm using the fifth column I get from the command gpg --list-keys --with-colon, 60E5BD872B2A6031. I'm getting back 'assbot: That does not seem to be
a valid fingerprint.'
bagehot: But, how do I prevent getting muted by assbot? I figured I registered
a public key with gribble to register with the wot and then it was
a matter of ;;eauth and messaging !up to assbot
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently you need

☟︎ Birdman: Right, but the risk is on my end really if I send the money. Also, I am trying to do
a larger volume where my irl contact is uncomfortable doing
mircea_popescu: if you can't use
a bank, join
a local community and do face to face.
mircea_popescu: if you can use
a bank, talk to sturles, he's been doing the offices of noob introducer since 2010.
Birdman: It'd have to be
a cash in the mail thing most likely
bagehot: Alright, I'll be back in
a bit once I've got wot setup.
bagehot: Its definately the case that some social systems cause behaviors in practically all people, although I suspect once in
a while people manage to commander the board for
a bit.
bagehot: That's my first pass at an answer. That's not
a question I've thought about before.
bagehot: I also think it'd be fun to try to build
a decentralized currency with
a built-in mechanism for lender-of-last-resort purposes
bagehot: Well, so to give
a concrete example, but not to make
a normative statement about the relative merits for some purpose of one kind of unit of account over another, I think it'd be fun to try switching the party that initiates the asset-liability relationship.
