Quinn_: and
I know nothing about you, a quick google search doesn't reveal anything either
Quinn_:
I did it in my spare time between commissions, since it wasn't a source of income so around 3 months
Quinn_:
I don't arrange commissioned work through irc chats, not very trustworthy.
mircea_popescu:
i mean sure, it all fits neatly, "prior to the soviet state and everywhere outside of it kids had it rough and didn't even get any icecream"
mircea_popescu: bounce
i wouldn't credit post-libtard revolution descriptions of history.
mircea_popescu: Quinn_ no, not yet. but if you're amenable to work on one
i think we can probably come up with something.
mircea_popescu: but
i'm preselected,
i already seen the cartoon you made, so we're going with that type.
Quinn_: well
I don't know what type of cartoons you want, so
i can't tell you if
i can agree to it or not.
Quinn_: Depends on the content,
i have a site which is better to contact me through. www.zenithquinn.com/#!commissions/c171x
Quinn_:
I created the bitcoin users in a nutshell cartoon.
Quinn_: mircea,
i was told you wanted to talk to me?
chetty:
I don't think they even need actual disease now, the fear may be enough
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The scariest zombies are always the kind that die.
I've never much feared undeath.
chetty: asciilifeform,
I like that definition
mircea_popescu:
i don't get this. you telling me it's specifically because obama is a kenyan citizen ?
BingoBoingo:
I have a gut feeling that the big reason more US'ians don't follow through with their going to Canada threats is that Canada is too close to what they are leaving. That and Canada doesn't really want them.
BingoBoingo:
I imagine within the decade Mexico will be more concerned about illegals coming from the US than the other way.
mike_c: last
i heard we had hit moon and were aiming for mars. but
i don't keep track.
BingoBoingo: mike_c:
I thought we never really hit the moon yet, just low earth orbit.
mike_c: really?
i thought we were going back to moon now.
assbot: O hai.
I was justing doing a penetration test of your site. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: no, and if
I was
I think
I'd rather shoot myself than work for EA :P
assbot: 07:09 wumpus Luke-Jr: YOU BROKE github-merge.sh 07:09 wumpus
I guess
I shou - Pastebin.com
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One of them.
I dunno if he is a ranger, but he lurks a lot of places and interupts
bounce: though as time went on
I find myself watching less and less video. curious how that works, or doesn't.
mircea_popescu: jurov not quite.
i dun want jack shit. but when presented with an argument to
jurov:
i see some conflation of technical and economical arguments
mircea_popescu: last
i heard youtube traffix was waning, but be that as it may,
bounce: oh
I haven't really kept up with that. maybe
I should read up. but the point in the very general sense is that we don't know yet how we're going to waste tomorrow's bandwidth. you know, like youtube is quite a thing these days, but only can exist because availability of >>dialup bandwidths
mircea_popescu: bounce maybe. again, im not saying "no" or "never" here.
i'm trying to do some actual reasoning on evaluating patently insane claims sprouted by gavin.
jurov:
i just referred to "to make sluts look good"
mircea_popescu: in 1990
i could see it, we wanted to see samantha fox naked in color, rather than black/white ascii art.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you were to propose over the next 170 years it increases 10 million fold again,
i would take 50-50 odds against.
jurov: thanks BingoBoingo, but how comes
I have to run derpy casino to make ends meet?
bounce: worked well enough there.
I'd agree that banking on a similar thing happening in last mile connectivity is maybe a little optimistic.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I'd assume Gentoo users are of that school, but
I dunno that Gentoo is luser proof yet.
jurov: anyway. can anyone explain to me how am
i a part of "a sum total of the global financial infrastructure"?
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: Apocalyptic
i'm trying to figure out why everyone has their dicks in a knot about it. nobody seems to know. ^ above should give you a good start.
Naphex: ben_vulpes: (>>> Naphex: have you tried btcd?)
i have btcd running on a staging server. eats a bit more load but deffinetly not ready to run on production.
I'm still grabbing metrics from it so time will tell
mircea_popescu: and
i don't care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it.
mircea_popescu: and no, im not gonna think about the spooks.
i couldn't give less of a shit that some single mom's ugly children are starving because her no fee half bitcent bitbet bet didn't get into any of sixty consecutive blocks.
Naphex: (in my defense,
i am not running any live nodes with wallets attached)
mircea_popescu: look, most everyone
i know is using some more or less modded 0.5 0.6 some brave souls read through all .7
Naphex: mircea_popescu:
i agree, but security you can improve. but functionality will be harder
go1111111: inflation is 'bad' if the thing that is inflating is something you're holding as a long term store of value. higher supply --> lower price per unit. "inflation" is used two ways: increasing the supply of the currency, and increasing price levels.
i'm referring to the former
Naphex: mircea_popescu:
i'm not arbitering shit
mircea_popescu: go1111111: thestringpuller: many people see the potential for Bitcoin to replace much of the global financial infrastructure.
i know people in this channel prefer Bitcoin to be a gold-replacement, but if it was able to do a lot more, it'd be pretty awesome << this is wrong on each and every level.
mircea_popescu: for all
i care, everyone's welcome to try any theory they wish and then starve on it. what's however not acceptable, not now, not ever, is fraud. passing scamcoins for actualcoins and trying to pretend like shitpie is "just as good as pie".
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> yet somehow the bitcoin crowd is supposed to have forgotten why it got into bitcoin in the first place // that's a recurring thought
I have these days
go1111111: if there are good arguments for high fees
i'm curious to be linked to them or hear them. possibly my preference for low fees is as dumb as you're claiming, but it'd be interesting to know why you think that
mircea_popescu: mike_c no but really, "
i don't see". let's all go to the hospital and start derping, "
i don't see why
i'd have to take my clothes off"
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu>
i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see. << another contender for the b-a tagline :)
mechtronic2001: Would this be a proper channel to post my btcjam funding page. It would be an investment, but
I don't want to step on toes here.
mircea_popescu:
i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see.
go1111111: mircea_popescu:
I don't see the usefulness if high fees, except as a means to secure the network. but fees will be a small portion of the reward to miners for a while. low fees enable transactions to occur that would otherwise be too costly, eliminating deadweight loss
Naphex: mircea_popescu: so yeah,
i haven't found anything even close to stable as bitcoind :)
nubbins`: what're the big pools running anyway,
i wonder
Naphex:
i only care about CPUTime, everything else is really distant
mthreat:
i can't go myself.. but michelle's there and some others
Naphex:
i use this as a "supernode" to p2p connect to the network, and use local nodes to scale
nubbins`: thestringpuller: tyvm, first thought-out argument
i've read yet
nubbins`: you see what
i'm saying? a couple years from now you'll buy an octo-core w/ 32gb ram for $500
go1111111: the problem is that having small blocksizes and high fees doesn't actually make anything nicer for anyone. that's what nubbins and
I have been arguing. the extra "niceness" you want is a trivial savings in abundant computer resources
thestringpuller: what is all this socialist shit..."free stuff
I didn't work for"
go1111111: smaller blocksizes tend to increase the fee required to get in a block. lower fees seem preferable. the only case
i can see where you wouldn't want smaller fees is when network security was based heavily on fees, but that won't be the case for a while
go1111111: mining = running a full node,
i mean
go1111111: so you're saying it's more like "
I'm going to stop mining now because maybe in 10 years mining will be unprofitable, depending on the trajectory of computer resource costs"
nubbins`: Apocalyptic
i'm trying to figure out why everyone has their dicks in a knot about it. nobody seems to know.
thestringpuller:
i'm almost certain if you increase the blocksize to great too soon, full nodes will drop off...
chetty: internet is pretty darn good most places, only place
I ever had much of an issue the deserts of Egypt
nubbins`:
i've been sitting on 50mbit for a couple years now
go1111111: thestringpuller: many people see the potential for Bitcoin to replace much of the global financial infrastructure.
i know people in this channel prefer Bitcoin to be a gold-replacement, but if it was able to do a lot more, it'd be pretty awesome
thestringpuller: nubbins`: not yet
I gotta go to the local office today once
I feel like not being lazy and get some real clothes on.
mircea_popescu: "
i'm too lazy to go out and pick something up so
i'ma troll livejournal for gmaxwell's girlfriend" ?
mircea_popescu: isn;'t the sloth merely "if
i could be bothered to stand up" ?
mircea_popescu: there's this innate "fear",
i suppose, among the primitive, illiterate hordes as to the magical power of names.
