thestringpuller: I think this was you mircea_popescu no?
mats_cd03: interesting to me, since i know about zero things re: rsa.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2014 18:21:00; mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: i suppose it's possible for bitcoin to be worth more than all the transactable equity in the world <<< this is actually one of the largest, most interesting questions in bitcoin finance.

mircea_popescu: mike_c well i guess it got deleted meanwhile. it just said "owned like a pony" or something
mike_c: i linked it above the comment. << that link 404'd for me.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> so it turns out deedbot got haxed. << deets? << someone put a random deed up there, i linked it above the comment.
princessnell_: i have a transcript of the andreas testimony
mircea_popescu: "o, x is in the news , i gotta write about it then1"
asciilifeform: as i understand, a genuine 'useful idiot' by definition has to act unwittingly
thestringpuller: I can't write software so I wrote a book!
mircea_popescu: convenient idiots ? tyvm, it's exactly anderpopolous' line. "i'm not really shilling, i'm just stupid. buy my shit!"
gribble: diana_coman was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 1 hour, 50 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <diana_coman> I'm to blame for Sweete__ being here, since he pm-ed me about trading and I asked him why wasn't he in here if he was a trader
mircea_popescu: am i the only one who is amused by the strict similarity between the "o we know how climate works ; listen to us to fix what's broken with earth's industry" of these muppets and the "o, we know how hardware will work in the future ; listen ot us to fix what's broken with bitcoin" of the BF sponsored muppets ?
devthedev: Yeah, I'm not pro climate change
asciilifeform: last version i read, disk i/o was implemented via 'pio' vs dma, so not optimal. but ought to suffice for just about any practical use.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lol i read "send-dush-hate-mail"
asciilifeform: for all i know, it formats your hdd if you're running win98
Apocalyptic: I just see links like "javascript:popCentered('pure64-manual.html',%20'900',%20'450',%20'manual');" and makes me sad
Apocalyptic: neither do I
asciilifeform: lol i never see popups
asciilifeform: (i have my own very similar widget, that i've used for 'number crunching' tasks where an os just wastes cycles)
mircea_popescu: bounce i think stan's a bit of a masochist rly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if they did i don't recall it
asciilifeform: did somebody once put up a bounty for ms-dos build of bitcoind ('slip/ppp' over rs232 for netpipe, presumably) ? or did i dream this
mircea_popescu: but actually his is a legitimate request. i guess im adding this to the "wanted maintainer for eulora binaries" thing : wanted maintainer for bitcoin binaries.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's an interesting question, "what's the new guy to do". bunch of playing catchup it seems
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and where might i find the scripts for this?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: this i know! any suggestions for how to remedy this??
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: how did i do that?
Apocalyptic: <pete_dushenski> there are now less than 7000 active nodes :( // I don't know where you're getting your data from, but if it's solely based on https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ it's wrong
thestringpuller: https://i.imgur.com/ZnxT1kG.jpg
pete_dushenski: i also managed to sort out the errors i was encountering in debian.
pete_dushenski: so i riffed off pankkake's node tutorial and inserted a few more instructions
thickasthieves: i suppose it's possible for bitcoin to be worth more than all the transactable equity in the world
ben_vulpes: ya i was surprised ;)
ben_vulpes: no, i'm just trying to not watch the markets.
ben_vulpes: i'm trying the taleb approach to noise reduction
mike_c: I feel a little dirty. I'm getting more traffic from google now because I have a page for every bitbet. oops.
asciilifeform: re: gentoo & ljr: i'd like to suggest a new patch to the latest bitcoind. if the day of the month is odd, format hdd.
BingoBoingo: I'll be back in a few hours
Luke-Jr: I don't have that exact number.
thickasthieves: i'm like dude, look at the list
Luke-Jr: it's not appropriate for mainline; I'd reject it myself
thickasthieves: i can appreciate luke-jr excercising his own voting/filtering rights though
thickasthieves: i know bingo mentioned it used luke's patches, but i didnt know the patches has blacklists
punkman: ah somethingawful already did it http://i.somethingawful.com/u/garbageday/2013/phriday/poland/zombieswithblenders_01.png http://i.somethingawful.com/u/garbageday/2013/phriday/poland/Entenzahn_01.png

pete_dushenski: i guess i shoulda written "maybe you can start a branch of judaism too!"
pete_dushenski: i think i just mentioned that in a footnote recently...
decimation: I guess one could make an argument, given the *
thickasthieves: i havent even taken the time to read 1 reddit post on the movie
cazalla: dunno, i only skipped through looking for good parts
thestringpuller: grr I'll rebash that
decimation: I saw the "H1" clock at the Greenwich observatory, it was a fancy machine
thestringpuller: i remember there was a large bounty for the chronometer during it's inception
thestringpuller: i understand. my imagination likes to run wild. I was thinking of trusting a >$100k fortune in BTC to a paper wallet via treasure hiding, vs. the so-called "secure" hardware wallets
decimation: thestringpuller: I think the engineering is feasible, but it certainly wouldn't be cheap. As ascii emphasized in that thread, this is for items worth >$100k 'hiding'
thestringpuller: but i don't think many devices could withstand the entire trip
thestringpuller: not the first time that's happened I suppose...
thestringpuller: well i guess then treasure hunters shall find it in future if you bite the bullet before retrieval.
thestringpuller: modern treasure hiding. i guess in international waters you have to worry about pirates?
thestringpuller: thanks asciilifeform, i missed that thread.
asciilifeform: but i digress.
thestringpuller: oh i was thinking of bitstash
cazalla: thestringpuller, i said writer, not editor :P
cazalla: ;;later tell devthedev i changed a few things so that article is not overly promotional for altcoins or snapcard/wix
asciilifeform: i suppose that's more than some people can say.
asciilifeform: i've concinced perhaps... 3, 4, 5 people who actually understood what the hell the entire picture is about.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I suppose. In any case, your essays exist.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the crux of the matter, though, is that the only possible proof is experimental. and so what i really should've worked on, instead of essays, would've been some scam like davis has
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: re, what they could get out of your posts. You've rather clearly articulated the problem with the current computing stack. I'm unaware of any other person documenting the incumbent's desire to cater to the stupid. As thinking men, they must find it irritating to interface with today's machines.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: davis reads my site, i think; grudgingly
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I sent it to Terry A Davis, perhaps he can be convinced to write Lisp...
asciilifeform: i can't picture what taleb (or for that matter herr sz) would get out of my turds
thestringpuller: good evening hanbot or I guess morning?
gabriel_laddel: following up 20 post care package from #b-a blog roll http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2014#758453 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EVPPZSYd ☝︎
asciilifeform: cnc << i distinctly recall kakobrekla also has one.
mircea_popescu: i don't get how cash distribution can be held against the management.
The20YearIRCloud: It's fantastic, i'm told it has one of the worst learning curves even surpassing star control. But once you understand it, it's immensely fun
mircea_popescu: "I designed a 3 axis stepper-motor-driven milling machine 1996-1997 with a CAD/CAM package for a company I started called Home Automation and Robotic Equipment."
decimation: lol I tried to play dwarf fortress once, it seemed like a colassal waste of time, but amusing
The20YearIRCloud: I wish it was easier to do, that way I could run dwarf fortress in all its glory
The20YearIRCloud: Germany is trying to get their gold back as it was all held in Paris, london and NYC. Out of all the countries I think they have a pretty transparent gold program, and it's showing how dishonest the US is
mircea_popescu: decimation well, no. reversedly. for instance, germany claims to hold some gold it doesn't, and doesn't claim to hold any bitcoin, tho i think they do hold some.
The20YearIRCloud: I didn't realize that it was possible to do that, are the speeds typically much higher than what their clocked counterparts are?
The20YearIRCloud: I'm debating whether I want to get more BTC, PMs, or guns, or if I should balance what I have now a different way
asciilifeform: (won't go under 'vmware' or any machine i could dig up)
asciilifeform: but virtually impossible, last i tried, to actually run
mircea_popescu: but since losethos has been mentioned : i do suspect ninjashogun is of a similar brand, without of course the technical ability.
asciilifeform: i've been working on 'genuinely' reconfigurable cpu for some years now. but, understand, most of the reading i do - is material as old as i am.
decimation: I can't imagine that this business model of making enemies of your customers will survive
asciilifeform: and elsewhere, i forget where
gabriel_laddel: I see.
decimation: eh, I doubt usg will care much
gabriel_laddel: am I correct in assuming that documenting efforts in reverse engineering a particular xlinx model is illegal / will land one in trouble with usg?
asciilifeform: unless you can somehow learn where the chip's fabric puts various i/o in relation to other circuitry
asciilifeform: you can read an sdram spec by, e.g., 'micron' (i did) and implement a ddr2 sdram controller.
decimation: I've heard that the 'synplify' synthesizer is much better, but costs golden toilet cash
decimation: today I was using the xilinix ise - it's a piece of shit
