ben_vulpes: plus there's
a bit of "that's my little brother, only i get to bully him around"
hanbot: it should be
a stranger.
mircea_popescu: that can't be
a problem because internet doubles every year
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 actually this would be
a good datapoint to compute. find out the sum total of orphans to date. << noted. will see what I can come up with.
mircea_popescu: mod6 actually this would be
a good datapoint to compute. find out the sum total of orphans to date.
mod6: ahh ok, well, in relation to "b", i've seen this SIGKILL/OOM problem on
a local vm with 1Gb of ram, and an AWS VM with 2Gb of ram.
mircea_popescu: mod6 but
a)
a block can no longer be an orphan once the block at the height it disputes has its coinbases spendable ; b) the sum total of orphans to date isn't, if memory serves, 8gb.
Adlai: it's rather refreshing to hear this guy say that most of teh previous talks (xapo et al) are
a total waste of time and detrimental to bitcoin
mircea_popescu: jurov: i should prolly make
a bot << it's been up to date ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6: so we /might/ need to add something similar... but im not positive that this is actually the issue yet. << i don't see how concurrent chains would cause memory outages. << well, there is
a container that holds these orphan blocks unchecked in v0.5.3. if this actually is related to the R.I. chewing through all its ram, perhaps
a limit should be introduced.
mircea_popescu: Adlai generally
a good indication that all he does is smoke pot, and watch dudes firing guns and chicks doing yoga in yoga pants on youtube.
Adlai: lol this guy's roadmap for bitcoin adoption: cannabis, gun dealers, and then "pilates instructors, masseuses, and anybody else who doesn't want to pay
a single dollar to the IRS"
Adlai: it's
a rather shitty process
Adlai knows
a few, not sure how passionate they are about the transition itself
Adlai: they're probably more likely to make
a sale if they put up
a sign saying they don't take bitcoin
Adlai: doubtful, seen
a price ticker lately?
Adlai: there's
a real estate booth here, and
a yacht booth. they have nothingc to do with bitcoin except accepting it as payment.
mircea_popescu: i can see the point anyway. the wasps are
a compliment to the grapes and the flies to the dead donkey.
Adlai: this is from jeffrey tucker, the only speaker who hasn't used
a slideshow
mircea_popescu: the balls are
a complement to your cock ; the wow's you hear are compliments to your cock.
Adlai: "the fact that it attracts so many scammers is
a complement to bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: adlai meets girl at party. she drags him to upstairs bedroom. they go at it. after
a while, she's "adlai, this fucking sucks!" and he retorts calmly
Adlai: there's
a booth at this conference, advertising for another conference. they're giving out free stress balls, those bouncy nerf foam tennisballsized things you can squeeze... over the course of the day, corners get filled up with these garbages
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : because somethingawful forums keeps driving people to trilema, i started
a banner campaign there.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: he's still here, paybase/hashnest logo everywhere, giving out free polo shirts at their booth, kickoff party had
a giant paybase logo on the side of the hotel << because "advertisin fixes everything" "we're creating awareness".
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu this'd only be
a problem if you thought that parents = friends
mircea_popescu: kinda why it's the job of parents to send the popular girl to live naked with the pigs for
a summer , and respectively force the acne boy to dance naked in gay bars the same summer.
mircea_popescu: in hierarchical situations, once ford decides to order his lieutenant to mine
a hill because he sees rust on it,
mircea_popescu: 15 boys like this. if 9 girls hate it, it'll become
a "civil rights" issue, but happen anyway.
mircea_popescu: consider how it works. take an island of 100 people, of which 5 boys and 6 girls under 30, 10 boys and 11 girls under 40. now, one day the fashion is for girls to wear clothes with
a hole over left nipple, so it's always exposed.
Adlai always thought "glasshole" was less about carrying
a camera everywhere, more about constantly having your screen open
pete_dushenski: it's not clear to me why everyone couldn't have
a glasshole
mircea_popescu: i guess once bitcoin fails i'll run
a slavegirl harem / art collective.
mircea_popescu: shoot
a bullet hole through mirror, take your pic, title the result "glasshole through looking glass with hole"
Adlai: all you need's
a mirror neh ? << but then your selfie immortalizes you
a glasshole
mircea_popescu: Zarathul: I'm developing
a lightweight MMORPG with crypto economy. and I'm looking for some feedback and alpha testers << ever heard of s.mg ? also, iirc DreadKnight is doing something similar.
mircea_popescu: *: Adlai actually got to use it once, since it's useless for selfies, which the glasshole required << all you need's
a mirror neh ?
mircea_popescu: to use the "on terrorism" apparatus, obviously
a state can try to support itself on both process of law and terrorism. some, like stalin's , actually succeeded. it's dubious one can succeed without
a stalin to o it tho. i dun see bureaucrats were ever born able to pull it off.
mircea_popescu: and if you recall, i'm actually against "free drugs". but that doesn't change they don't have much of
a logical standpoint.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's
a lot of challenges to the quaint notions of what the state has the authority to do to be brought through deploying the much more widely avaialble powers of math. situation somewhat similar to, while currently
a government may claim for itself the right to legislate as to the albedo of undiscovered stars, once they're discovered that's gone.
sgornick: mircea_popescu, Yes, I can successfully !up in
a PM to assbot to get voice.
mircea_popescu: ms has not become
a different beast. what used to be foss has decayed to the level one can't distinguish it from microsoft anymore.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: what are you running, windows on ferrari? << bwahahaha these two. should be cuffed together, endrunkened to 115% and dropped on
a sound stage.
mod6: and in forward versions, there are
a variety of other checks for orphan spam other than that.
mod6: so there was
a check in 0.5.3 that requires checkpoints for this, which i removed in the rm_checkpoints patch
mod6: it goes up and down
a bit, but has been hovering in around 4k orphans.. im at about 185xxx blocks
mod6: anyway, im looking at this stuff way up in 0.9.0 because im still trying to get
a read on why when you sync the blockchain from genesis to current the R.I. chews through all of its memory until it causes
a SIGKILL from out of memory.
gribble: Error: "2d6" is not
a valid command.
jurov: i should prolly make
a bot
Adlai likes the idea of
a conference where pitching is forbidden by default
Adlai: he's still here, paybase/hashnest logo everywhere, giving out free polo shirts at their booth, kickoff party had
a giant paybase logo on the side of the hotel
xanthyos: once your reptutation is that of
a scammer the only way to continue scamming is not to scam and in doing so defy expectations; that being the scam.
kakobrekla: garza's talk got cancelled < scammer decided not to scam? what
a scammer.
xanthyos: i'd like to play monopoly with #b-
a members if we could figure out
a place to do the dice
BingoBoingo: It might take
a day or two for people interested asking questions to get to this part of the conversation.
Zarathul: but not
a problem we've had yet, we're pretty early
Zarathul: didn't get
a chance to talk, looking fwd to it
Zarathul: anyone interested in taking
a look? yes/no/maybe :)
Zarathul: we're going to do
a common pool of winnings, for Bitcoin tipping/cash-outs, similar to Sarutobi
Zarathul: I'm developing
a lightweight MMORPG with crypto economy. and I'm looking for some feedback and alpha testers
fluffypony: brb going to rob
a jewellery store for
a piece I'm showing at the end of the year
fluffypony: M$ really has become
a different beast
ben_vulpes: i'll need more than
a few days of practice
ben_vulpes: i can't imagine you're much of
a follower
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i'm not buying
a non-Apple mobile computer
ben_vulpes: i'm fighting iTunes' desire to back my phone up in triplicate (
a 45GB project) to maintain
a reasonably empty hdd
pete_dushenski: time to get
a personal computer for sanity and
a work computer for insanity, neh?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] "apple is not
a technology, apple is
a vision" << oh jesus 51% sent me
a bill to review in apple's proprietary spreadsheet format today
ben_vulpes: "no but channukah's not supposed to be
a materialistic holiday, it's about murdering the roman--"
pete_dushenski: i was inelegantly saying that i too have spent
a good number of christmas and boxings days on the slopes
ben_vulpes: * asciilifeform [] has never worn or so much as touched
a hat made from
a rarer animal than rabbit << i cap out at elk
ben_vulpes: there've been
a few bottles of wine, pete_dushenski
