Pierre_Rochard: Now this part may be controversial for some members of b-
a, but it’s at the point where fee revenue growth decelerates that the block size should be increased *marginally*, if the goal is to maximize fee revenue
ben_vulpes: yeah, and again we're at the "snapshot of
a dynamic thing
ben_vulpes: there is only bitcoin, and if one cannot afford the miners fees for inclusion in
a block, one does not need to transfer bitcoins enough.

davout: gavinandresen: "okey dokey, then we might not have much to talk about if you want to stick with OpenSSL bugs that were included in the protocol by mistake." <<< actually i distinctly remember mike hearn telling me how that particular bug was part of the protocol and how it somehow justified not putting any effort towards actually specifying anything, in
a spec, not in code
gavinandresen: felipelalli: that’d be
a fine way to roll out the change; I think gmaxwell and sipa prefer that plan.
felipelalli: gavinandresen: theymos said: << (...) Make the change now, but have it take place at
a particular date or block number 2 years in the future. Then when the change actually happens, everyone will already be updated because almost no one uses 2-year-old software. Yes, 2 years is
a long time, but we'll survive. >> is that possible and why it is
a good or bad idea?
felipelalli: increase the 21M max coins is possible through
a hard fork?
felipelalli: davout: nice explanation. It gives
a good article in qntra.net
gavinandresen: ben_vulpes: yes;
a soft fork makes the protocol more strict. You have to hard fork to make it more lenient.
davout: ben_vulpes:
a soft fork is making the set of valid blocks smaller,
a hard fork is the opposite
gavinandresen:
a hard fork means everybody running
a full node must upgrade, or they will be on
a different chain
☟︎ gavinandresen:
a soft fork means miners must upgrade, or their blocks will be rejected.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: is
a soft fork not
a breaking of bitcoin in some way?
davout: felipelalli: that was
a soft fork
gavinandresen: … that was
a soft fork, not
a hard fork, but it still caused people to accuse me of trying to destroy Bitcoin
diametric: nubbins`: are you actually going to post
a video to prove
a point to one of his shills/
davout: "You are 100000% correct. It's funny how easy it is to spot
a statist who thinks everything should be controlled instead of letting the market do its job."
BingoBoingo: And like Ghandi he will try to ruin
a good thing.
davout: "that's the main thing i'm constantly impressed by, his demeanor is exactly right for the position he's in. he's
a role model to us all,
a modern day gandhi so to speak. ;)"
kakobrekla: i noticed when i was coding that keyservers tend to go down
a lot
mike_c: which isn't really true. and the fact of that will become interesting when mpex takes
a side on the hard-fork.
davout: the perfect duration for
a meal is when the end of the previous one overlaps with the beginning of the next one
chetty: 3 hours is
a short quick lunch in Argentina
davout: "can’t right now, have
a lunch meeting. Happy to another time"
davout: "if you want to come in #bitcoin-assets and argue
a bit your proposal,
a bunch of folks would be interested" <<< let's see how that goes
mircea_popescu: nothing about your own intellect, experience, competence or otherwise merit justifies me even knowing your fucking name. you're nobody in the plainest sense, i can throw
a rock in any town in america and probably hit two of you!
mircea_popescu: hey gavin ? YOU ARE GETTING
A FREE RIDE. you're pretty much the only one. you're
a middling software engineer that is STILL leeching some historical happenstance.,
mircea_popescu: that's what "free ride" is now. having built value over time is
a "free ride"
mircea_popescu: "I’m waiting for somebody to notice us greedy early adopters get
a free ride on transaction fees and complain....."
mircea_popescu: well, tell him he has
a chance to be heard, and learn exactly why he is wrong and generally grow as
a person.
mircea_popescu: seems kinda bizarre gavin still pretends like he's had
a public discussion about this but so far has not quite got his courage up enough to bring his hairball of non sequiturs, wild jumps and logic holes over here.
mircea_popescu: you are ill qualified to as much as change
a fucking version in the bvlocks, let alone the database.
nubbins`: because if all that's left is
a train, you better believe we're gonna make it run!
nubbins`: interestingly, they choose to waste their fuel on locomotion rather than as
a heat source
nubbins`: THE LAST SURVIVING HUMANS ARE STUCK ON
A TRAIN THAT NEVER STOPS
mircea_popescu: not in the sense where some vcs come on later, pat us on the head, give each
a car and wipe us out.
mircea_popescu: it CERTAINLY has no value as
a bitcoin development paradigm, because well... BITCOIN IS NOT FOR SALE.
mircea_popescu: maybe this has merits as
a website develoipment paradigm
mircea_popescu: "The fundamental pain point here, is that Gavin insists on everyone being able to get in, instead of allowing
a sane transaction fee market to emerge, by letting the blocks actually fill-up."
davout: mircea_popescu: "Cette entrée
a été publiée dans Bitcoin le janvier 21, 2015"
kakobrekla: maybe he was reading #b-
a on how art keeps getting record high prices and battles inflation and though he was getting
a piece of hedge
gribble: You rated user Blazedout419 on Sun Mar 2 12:59:46 2014, with
a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: trusted trader.
nubbins`: i know he's not
a shill and he's not
a fool, but beyond that... shrug
davout: BingoBoingo: yeah, so
a different language for all practical purposes
davout: ah, so it looks like c++ with
a bunch of extra packages
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> apparently they'll want to change bitcoin to gavincoin 1:1 later on, but they don't want to change it at
a 25% discount today. << should better offer it at 25% over, otherwise they are admitting their coin has the lower value
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: This is also the rationale behind
a baseball game on
a hot summer day. Grrr...we need to go to one this ear
mircea_popescu: "oh i have 50 btc in
a wallet somewhere, i contributed 5000 lines of code to bitcoin core that will have to be taken out later at considerable expense and i go to all th conferences if some scammer is paying the airfare (coach)"
BingoBoingo: Yeah they need to find another sporting venture, because it is perfectly fine to be
a fishing party while sitting around drinking beer.
mircea_popescu: roughly in the position of
a hunting party that's out there building sandcastles and collecting flowers.
BingoBoingo: Maybe they aren't sure enough yet that there will be
a Gavincoin given -dev doesn't seem keen on his stuff.
mircea_popescu: apparently they'll want to change bitcoin to gavincoin 1:1 later on, but they don't want to change it at
a 25% discount today.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: pity conformal isn't better known. << how so? ben_vulpes has referenced them
a lot over the past two years. they are making me want to learn Go.
Vexual: all these idiots taking
a deal
Vexual: ross is prolly guilty of something, but he deserves
a free trial
Vexual: we did decide on
a rate
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about
a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
Vexual: are you suggesting that if i have
a pgp key n wot kako will like my occasional music?
Vexual: and
a 5 dollar paypay?
nubbins`: which i think is
a bit on the expensive side
felipelalli: I found
a good idea make something implemented just to "wake up" after 2 years.
Naphex: i'm just watching if the lil ones loose
a finger :D
nubbins`: sweet. if it's rad, let's work out
a trade
BingoBoingo: chetty: But that goes against killing it by "fixing it" you know... in the way you kill
a chanpion dog's breeding value bu fixing it
Vexual: they got the same guy from ironchef, with
a labotomy
chetty: <BingoBoingo> Vexual: asciilifeform linked it
a while back. basically able people must wear handicaps to make everyone equal.//only other solution is just kill all the handicaps
BingoBoingo: Vexual: asciilifeform linked it
a while back. basically able people must wear handicaps to make everyone equal.
jurov: ha. only trannies shall cast

punkman: " if
a single ls doesn't use up at least 50% of installed RAM then it is condoning the toxic culture of fat shaming."

Vexual: is that supposed to ba
a table leg? wehre sthe table?
Vexual: does he carve
a potato print in
a slab of cedar?
felipelalli: Vexual: 80% don't know what bitcoin is and 90% of the remaining 20% think it is
a scam. Is that your question?
