asciilifeform: without upchucking ☟︎

asciilifeform just got back from the house of a phriend who, i shit thee not, filled two notebooks with one derivation, pen and paper, because ~none of the computeralgebrasystems he could find were able to swallow it~

asciilifeform: hiding from self is generally bad mojo.

asciilifeform: otherwise why.

asciilifeform: i rent my bldg. and wouldn't like to have it any other way. unless were so loaded that i could throw it away like a toothbrush if it gets tiresome.

asciilifeform: (questionable whether word 'own' is even applicable)

asciilifeform: don't own anything you couldn't or wouldn't demolish and rebuild correctly.

asciilifeform: or as with the toddler example,

asciilifeform: For Science.

asciilifeform: if this were my flat i'd hook up antiphase speaker to the pipe

asciilifeform has vague memories of this as a boy

asciilifeform: you can get dampeners.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252289 << the lulzy part is that, iirc, the man writes tradebots himself! ☝︎

asciilifeform: it's not even an ethnicity, but more of a state of mind

asciilifeform: or whatever it is called here

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: but very commonly they (at least the native ones) have 'agricultural face'

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: all levels

asciilifeform: some chick cries now for lacking her powerpointz

asciilifeform: and the required reading dir is full of 'whitepapers' concerning 1990s-style centralized shitpal-esque 'coins' ☟︎

asciilifeform: they were assigned 'digital currencies'

asciilifeform: full of 'business school' homework from unpronounceably-named chinese exchange students

asciilifeform: sooo i was out walking by the uni, and found a thumb drive

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252205 << l0l, i always imagined mircea_popescu had a wooden panel full of analogue gauges for mpex, a ship's telegraph for changing course, and a speaking horn for dictating more complex orders ☝︎

asciilifeform: lol shitfinex

asciilifeform: but yes, works

asciilifeform: aha i got it backwards

asciilifeform: (this is also done from inside 'v'. but, importantly, it also works - must work - manually.)

asciilifeform: mod6: first payload, then sig

asciilifeform: mod6: give gpg both args

asciilifeform: mod6: nope.

asciilifeform: !b 4 ✂︎

asciilifeform: betcha they're at least mildly authenticable.

asciilifeform: wonder what the ashes are worth

asciilifeform: l0l!!

asciilifeform: to burn it in

asciilifeform: for bonus points, buy that little stove in ro they used earlier

asciilifeform: neh that's reserved for authorized race-replacerz

asciilifeform: mod6: once 'v' is live, it can be retrofitted to the turdatron directly

asciilifeform: mod6: redundant, imho

asciilifeform: soviet win.

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: also hard with stone axe, mammoth teeth, bear skin.

asciilifeform: relatively.

asciilifeform: that wasn't the concern

asciilifeform: quite sure that we discussed it.

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: !s rsacoin

asciilifeform: is the usual excuse.

asciilifeform: 'too heavy'

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: possibly for the reason i mentioned

asciilifeform: they perhaps were not quite good enough for pgp, but for this - perfect

asciilifeform: to them, the spoils ?

asciilifeform: my only misgiving about this is if you stop and think who's been baking factoratrons for the past 20 yrs.

asciilifeform: ;;isup nosuchlabs.com

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and now we know why he made no attempt to parallelize, also.

asciilifeform not convinced that this works as described

asciilifeform: 'In SpreadCoin mining is organized in such way that miner must know the following things: 1. Private key corresponding to the coinbase transaction. 2. Whole block, not only its header. ... Pool may detect and ban cheating miners. However, many miners may still prefer to cheat so that pool will be completely unusable for honest miners.'

asciilifeform: ^http://dpaste.com/2CMFP15

asciilifeform: http://www.spreadcoin.info/downloads/SpreadCoin-WhitePaper.pdf

asciilifeform: or, hm, maybe not

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: so dead that not even a copy of the paper can be turned up.

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: appears to be entirely dead

asciilifeform: 'spreading works!!111!!!11'

asciilifeform was using 'millimonet' as an approximate unit, 4 * 10^4 usd.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: somehow no one is foolish enough to make the mistake in, e.g., aluminum market

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but for senior brass, whole monets

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: easily into the multiple millimonets, for a typical case

asciilifeform: 'usg employees don't even get fiat' << this is true in a strictly technical sense. but in fact senior nomenklatura ('ses' and up, but also grey-usg folk like uni professors) bring in very decent dough via 'contracting' and pseudo-industrial gigs.

asciilifeform: but not often.

asciilifeform: even pig is sometimes permitted to eat truffle

asciilifeform: (naturally, not applicable to extant bitcoin.)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: workfunctions, there was once some theoretical work concerning 'non-outsourceable puzzles', i.e. mathematical magic preventing the formation of pools by allowing any pool participant to silently and untraceably claim the entire block reward. but i cannot recall if this went anywhere other than academiwankery. ☟︎☟︎
