mircea_popescu: cazalla seems not really. but the aussie "secret service" twerps are the better target there. i dun think anyone can point out to ANYTHING they ever achieved, since ww2 onward.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i remember hearing about this kid, nfi if he actually was part of lulzsec or not
mircea_popescu: i suppose the other similar thing is the networking cabal.
thickasthieves: i remember bitfury was very defensive when i asked how much manufactured mining power they represented
gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell nubbins I'm not familiar with the btc codebase, but is there any reason not to include diffs from 5.3 to n.m in the appendix?
ben_vulpes: i had to get scamsniped AGAIN.
ben_vulpes: i *was* being productive and booting historical versions of bitcoin to run locally.
ben_vulpes: i
ben_vulpes: neat keyfob i guess
ben_vulpes: looks like i could get it open in about a minute with a decent vise
ben_vulpes: now i want to see the power draw of the btc network.
ben_vulpes: i'm too tired and too deep in unix horseshit to know what to say about ether anymore
pete_dushenski: i haven't tried their other equipment but it's priced to a point where i certainly have high expectations
pete_dushenski: went back to the store 5 months later and btc and the jacket's price had converged so it was only 1 btc. i went for it then :D
pete_dushenski: when i first saw this jacket in banff, btc was $350 so it was 2 btc so i balked.
fluffypony: I should get another one
fluffypony: but I keep taking the packs out and using it for hikes and general travel
fluffypony: I have Khard 45s that we use for our go bags
fluffypony: I love Arc'teryx
pete_dushenski: though i did get a pretty sweet arcteryx winter jacket at the end of last season that i'm looking forward to sporting.
pete_dushenski: cheaper than a canada goose down jacket and a bathtub full of maple syrup, i suppose.
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: I kid you not about the antenna - this is pretty much the best FPV video receiver antenna on the market, and it's from True RC Canada: http://www.truerc.net/canada/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_32_40&products_id=217
pete_dushenski: fluffypony hm did see that. afraid not. looks like i'll be in central canada around then...
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: I'm going to be in LA from next Tue till Nov 2nd, and then in Utah & Las Vegas from Nov 2nd to Nov 17th - any chance you're mosying on down in that vicinity?

thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: lol i wish i had that kind of budget << instead of paying for college pay for full time tutor for 4 years?
thestringpuller: ;;later tell mircea_popescu I'm glad you can still be young at heart re: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-10-2014#882514 ☝︎
ben_vulpes: lol i wish i had that kind of budget
RagnarDanneskjol: none taken - I know my security leaves much to be desired.. why I hired a fulltime tutor
ben_vulpes: "i can read java and stuff, but can't handle cli programs"
RagnarDanneskjol: yup - i dum
thestringpuller: ^ MP must say at least once a day, "i'm too old for this shit"
RagnarDanneskjol: i use gpg in browser on airgapped device with wifi physically disabled.. b/c I actually understand java and can audit with my own eyes
pete_dushenski: and i said we're doing pgp or irc. but he'd "lost his key" so had to make another...with kryptokit!
thestringpuller: "I don't know how to use GPG, so I'm gonna make my own."
pete_dushenski: this was after anthony tried calling me several times, leaving voicemails about how he "didn't know i felt that way about ethereum" and shit.
pete_dushenski: anthony di iorio, very memorably (because i've never seen this before), replied to my gpg-gram... in plaintext. and it included my original email. in plaintext.
thestringpuller: On a side note, I've noticed Roger Ver's bitcoinstore is not...around anymore?
RagnarDanneskjol: I've recruited mercs for them - they're pretty badass
thestringpuller: Ah. oh yea I remember.
thestringpuller: blogging is a muscle. probably why I write for qntra
thestringpuller: I forgot jgarzik was an advocate of GPG in the web browser.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller i'm well familiar with that one. i linked several other trilemas to make my case.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'll repent by updating my "how to run a node" article with ben_vulpes' final work :)
pete_dushenski: (i sound like a gangster-rapper in writing, apparently)
pete_dushenski: https://twitter.com/Outsideness/status/524784098510786560 << best twitter comment in response to "adding value to bitcoin" piece. i'm flattered!
mircea_popescu: but i have bootstrapped new nodes in this way
ben_vulpes: i'm thinking in terms of bits on disk
ben_vulpes: although if you'd be willing to share your tarball and a version number against which i could build that might show some interesting things on a block-by-block diffing
ben_vulpes: i'm not concerned about the speed nearly as much as i am the thing working correctly with the network.
ben_vulpes: i agree, yeah.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, i'll pass you a signed tarball tomorrow ?
othernubs`: well, i'm gonna sleep on it
asciilifeform: eh, i suspect that many of us had one long before other
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suppose "first otc rating" would be better way to go about it no ?
mircea_popescu: and i imagine they probably did all the shitting they can
asciilifeform: i've one going since 2011
mircea_popescu: am i the only one ?!
TheNewDeal: I've just seen up to block 315k on tpb, but wasn't sure what the file format was
ben_vulpes: this is where docker starts coming in handy: instead of burning many hours on chasing down platform and architecture details to get the thing to work on os x, i'm leaning towards just running 0.5.3 in a VM.
ben_vulpes: i also think that building on os x is a bad idea
ben_vulpes: i am considering bisecting the codebase for building on os x
othernubs`: i have a turkey kolbasa in the fridge
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck it is code never shrinks ? << Code does shrink sometimes. But not due to concentration on features or bugs. If it happens, it happens because the developer grows and improves. One of my favorite days was deleting 60k lines of code that I had written and replacing it with 100 lines. Simpler. Faster. Easier to understand.
ben_vulpes: i ain't picking up shit
asciilifeform: i kinda want this for 6-9 mo. from now
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: now is not the time, i actually suggested the project not imagining it would be picked up so quickly
pete_dushenski: i meant on the blog.. but i see where you're going. i'll drop him a twit.
mircea_popescu: my twitter's dead and i don't feel like social media anyway
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu lol will do. i remember that article well.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski << http://trilema.com/2013/the-future-of-bitcoin-regulation/ tell garzik i said they missed the boat.
mod6: ascii: lol i guess so
asciilifeform: 'the doctor saved the patient's ear, but did pluck out his eye i fear'
mircea_popescu: othernubs` you'll never get there. but anyway : 0.6.3 most recent acceptable ; 0.5.3 i guess, earliest acceptable.
othernubs`: Apocalyptic, i'm attempting to guide the conversation towards stating what is and isn't desired in the codebase
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> <mircea_popescu> anyway, the consensus seems to be 6.3 ? << i've yet to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3 << ok, so 5.4
asciilifeform: i was originally gonna ask for 0.1
ben_vulpes: i'm going for 0.5.3
asciilifeform: i thought it had normal posix
ben_vulpes: getting command line functionality on os x has been a headache every time i tried it
ben_vulpes: nubbins i was just opining
mod6: ben_vulpes: so the main issue was the deps so far. i went to the deb site and it gave me some to add to the sources.list, but didn't seem to help. i can try something different tomorrow if you have suggestions.
ben_vulpes: i: solved quadratics by hand because programming solvers was taught to me to be cheating
ben_vulpes: well, consider all the things i've been unlearning
asciilifeform: i never really grasped what the gui was for
ben_vulpes: but i don't see any roadblocks at this time.
ben_vulpes: i still depend on the qt client. need to come up with a workflow that works for the 0.5.3 client.
ben_vulpes: i'm transitioning backwards asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway, the consensus seems to be 6.3 ? << i've yet to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3
asciilifeform: i could go on.
ben_vulpes: although let's be clear, i was just browsing the release notes. if there were breaking changes merged in since then, this'd be a lulzy way to surface them.
decimation: well, I guess the law of bankruptcy handed down from the ancients is that debt is senior to equity
asciilifeform: also if i recall he did a tour of duty in u.s. finance derpatronics industry
mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw, i'm convinced, he's gotta be.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i have about the same amount of use for the information as a chimp does for pentium
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no need for muppetry, i get same notes from ru armchair generals
asciilifeform: meaning, rigorously, that for all valid machine ints i, i <= $maxint
asciilifeform: this is precisely what i mean when i say that one thing or another costs $maxint

othernubs`: actually i may include doc/* as an addendum, it's only a few single pages
