asciilifeform: she'll be in the next asciilifeform-expedition, then mircea_popescu could ask...
asciilifeform: (they ~might~ come to a pre-set table, as mircea_popescu to bitcoin. ~might~)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: since we're on subj of 'trbi', i was hoping to see the thread continue, re whether mempools, or whether my particular, or some other, scheme for abolition of mempool can be made to work , and so forth
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tru!
a111: Logged on 2017-03-07 17:30 mircea_popescu: this has been a honest-to-god real-time davout node emerging in march going "so guyse... chatlog-block-419333 is highest rite ?" and resyncs ensued.
asciilifeform: i oughta be quite specific re : 'nobody wants'. say i write a trbi, along one of the described schemes. nao wat -- mircea_popescu mines it ? and after this, who will want it ? 'just another premined alt!111' etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw at this point i understand (in the arithmetic sense) how it (protocolically) worx
asciilifeform: theoretically mircea_popescu dun need, e.g., computer, could have continued to sit on his cocaine yacht in costa rica, until end of his days
asciilifeform: dunno from whence came the notion that mircea_popescu 'needed'
asciilifeform: well if mircea_popescu's statement is to be taken literally, 'one ox is worth 50 ducks', seems like if you need ducks for something, it'd be a trade you could make.
asciilifeform: sorta why beelzebub saw it fit to send us mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 18:49 mircea_popescu: just as long as i pay 700 bux to the trb, it's not going anywhere.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is there any substantial difference b/w the 2 schemes ?
asciilifeform: time must flow a little faster on mircea_popescu's planet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and waiwut, 50?! founded in '80
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did describe earlier, having concluded a few yrs ago that it is cheaper, easier, moar pleasant, to cut appart 'snap4' emulator (i have a pc build here ~with debug symbols~, comes apart in ida nicely) than to suffer with nitric acid and electron microscope ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why same name of dll, i have nfi, but satoshi's only had openssl
asciilifeform: not sure mircea_popescu would even want to eat these longpigs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for educational thread -- let's take ben_vulpes , he likes children, where ought he to put a dozen ?
asciilifeform: 'infinities' are cheques that work ok until they are actually cashed (as per mircea_popescu's old article with the gold mountain)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which kamikaze are you thinking of here ? the one in late 1200s ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:50 asciilifeform: as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't as if mr.t et al were using actual crypto themselves
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can picture the reward, but also the butthurt
asciilifeform: phf: recall the thread with mircea_popescu re the traffic cops in some african shithole ? where millionaire 'i can pay whatever, fuck you' and the next day finds that the fines have grown six decimal places for him
asciilifeform: as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-02-19 06:21 mircea_popescu: an old american moves to a thai village.
asciilifeform: hm, now that i think of it, the question of 'against which openssl was it built' may be.. answerable. mircea_popescu : did satoshi ever distribute a binary ?
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu at the time said that the thing really oughta eat a programmable set of checkpoint ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he didn't show up under the default lamer nick (e.g., 'fromphuctor') so probably not this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sweeping a floor for beloved comendante hasta y por la siempre, as gurl does, is quite different from sweeping floor for salary from hitler. even if same broom and same floor somehow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's rather like to say that fucking same gurl vs fucking hole in a muddy tree trunk, 'is the same'
trinque: couldn't find the log, but the other day mircea_popescu discussed that some pedo case's dismissal had very much to do with that the guy refused to LARP with them re: their importance.
asciilifeform: gotta divide by amt of honestwork, mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and somebody gives a shit re junk routers etc?
asciilifeform: ( recall, in mircea_popescu's recent case, answer was the -- very usual -- 'nope' )
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_9535630.html << their version of mircea_popescu's 'uci'.
a111: Logged on 2015-08-02 20:02 mircea_popescu: siemens is "german" in the sense tsipras is "greek" and so on. absolutely nothing to do.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that is one of the most obvious uses, aha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so far reads like data dump from any large american software co. plenty of 'excel monkey' material, a veeery small bit of classy.
davout: mircea_popescu: i agree that the description made in the convo you linked is a very desirable target architecture
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, prolly since 1985 or wat
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 20:42 mircea_popescu: this scheme among other things cheaply allows the "add arbitrary new address to wallet", just have utility that (separately) processes B.B and produces new set of B.T.
asciilifeform: davout: the '~2gb tops' may (or may not) be true currently, but it is a fundamentally unbounded quantity. as discussed in 2 very recent threads with mircea_popescu re 'proton decay' and ultimate lifespan of bitcoin
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 22:40 mircea_popescu: curious how davout 's work on splitting function is coming along btw
davout: mircea_popescu: howso ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-07 14:25 mircea_popescu: davout this links into which part of the conversation ?
BingoBoingo: If no one else writes /me will, but mostly offering mircea_popescu and asciilifeform, S.NSA partners well earned "dibs" if they want them
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_14588652.html << more in re mircea_popescu's psychiatric observations
asciilifeform: also apparently mircea_popescu was right about the staffing problems, https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_23134361.html
asciilifeform: ffs i have 2 hands mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when 'p' is released, it can be put to use in eulora and elsewhere
asciilifeform: but on mircea_popescu's planet, more wondrous wonders than this, are known.
asciilifeform grudgingly discovers that he does not disagree with mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: ( incidentally mircea_popescu might be surprised how much 'hand cnc' is still involved in cnc practice )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the sicp film was ~watchable, but it is ancient, 1980s, and not even filmed at mit iirc (sussman taught the class for hp employees)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is an ancient song re subj, 'бабушка здорова...кушает компот...и мечтает снова...пережить налёт' ( http://www.kbelyaev.ru/txt/babuchka.htm )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this in re waht
mircea_popescu: in your flat scheme, the words "Trilema - a blog by mircea_popescu " would appear... 72k times!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: that's not the only difference. a 'php' site launches and runs additional process(es) to serve user requests. now i guess you could say that "it's just a detail", on the grand picture it's the same (nginx requires additional resources to serve static files), but that would be stretching it.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you can't really call it 'static' by any metric. in point of fact i'm surprised you're not grossed out over the fact that the whole thing is a large stinking pile of dynamic php. i guess the counterargument is that it *gets the job done*, very well, over many years. :) so there's that. but i'd like to ditch the 'wp' from 'mp-wp' one day. but maybe baby steps.
shinohai waves back, thanks mircea_popescu for his motivations over the years.
shinohai: If it wasn't for mircea_popescu and you constantly reminding me, I probably would never have started Qntra.

a111: Logged on 2017-03-05 02:20 mircea_popescu: lel check it out danielpbarron he stole your blog design!
Reuel: mircea_popescu, I have 2 items I want to return on eulora, are you on
a111: Logged on 2017-01-29 17:48 mircea_popescu: go do hdd profiling on large symlink load, very useful.
Reuel: mircea_popescu, I would love to do the experiment you talked about -> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-29#1609441 ☝︎
asciilifeform: citizen is easier, rather than harder, to hunt, various orgs that do business in usa are coaxed into proactively keeping tabs on'em; this was covered iirc in a few old mircea_popescu pieces re bank
asciilifeform: but iirc there was indeed a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested multiple log streams, that can be separated or combined as necessary
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it asked, and asked, and asked, as far as i can tell, a great many peers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they buy 1 thing -- a guaranteed avoidance of the situation of mircea_popescu's node
asciilifeform: where you avoid the situation from mircea_popescu's old essay where 'in broken market, you give a bag of maybe-money in return for a bag of perhaps-potatoes' and everybody goes home to learn how cheated he was
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i have nfi how many
asciilifeform: incidentally, ben_vulpes , if mircea_popescu had ANY kind of reasonable log rotation in his node -- i would have had nothing to work with !
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as is screamingly obvious from the earlier thread with mircea_popescu -- the debug log is terrifyingly inadequate for ~any serious work
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu your node spent ages trying to ~get hold of~ 419221. not to digest it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are 1955176872 lines of debug.log between block 419220 and 419221
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here, have some lulz:
asciilifeform: phf: most of today is re mircea_popescu showed a trb node that's been wedged, in a peculiar way, since july. but the l0g will still be there later.
asciilifeform: lessee if mircea_popescu's l0g is consistent with above
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: meanwhile i solved it with anal telekinesis !!111
asciilifeform: though mircea_popescu's wedge is preventable, what trb really ought to do is start sending http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 to all peers, starting with any 'wires' if present, whenever it goes for >1hr without a new block
asciilifeform: this is also why mircea_popescu rebooting the node, will almost guarantee to bring it to life
asciilifeform: btw i am now nearly certain re what happened to mircea_popescu's box
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu et al , is it obvious how http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 works ? or do i need to explain
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily, orphanage may or may not have unwedged it, as it discards old orphans when new appear.
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu , as you can probably tell, if node misses the window when $block was being actively thrown at it, then it has only these two knobs for attempting to get it ☟︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ill complain to mod6 also. << im about 18 hours behind on the log, will catch up and will revisit tomorrow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have not yet switched the box off -- what does getinfo return ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you might recall that trb does not attempt to decode tx scripts (yes) when verifying block
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: grep -A 10000 "received block 00000000000000000136" mp_log.txt plox ?
asciilifeform: sooo somewhere in mircea_popescu's log, there'll be a getinv for 0000000000000000036, the prev block, then for this final one, 0000000000000000038 (complain to tardoshi re the procrusted hashes, not to me..) ,
asciilifeform: ( i lean to the latter hypothesis , it is a thing that regularly happened - admittedly not to the extent seen in mircea_popescu's specimen -- among my nodes, and was why i could no longer put off the 'wires' thing )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if not mega-seekrit, did this node peer with well-known trb nodes (e.g., mine ) ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can you get the log inclusive of the last ACCEPT (case-sensitive) and all lines after ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1 more thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anything peculiar re that box, say, disk full ?
asciilifeform: because the last block in mircea_popescu's blk0036 is a main-chain block
