mircea_popescu: jurov that 99% figure is mostly
a joke. look at the exchanges as they are, think what even
a 50k wall would do at say 30 usd per. how exactly are thjose 99% of miners going to finance operations for
a week when their block reward is worth ~750 bux ?
Apocalyptic: kakobrekla, as in you doubt the outcome will be in favour of b-
a ?
punkman: "There will not be another release cycle after Atheme 7.2. We encourage the community to fork Atheme and choose the most suitable forks to drive IRC forward. To this end, we will maintain Atheme 7.2 as
a suitable base for forking until October 31, 2015, with all services terminating on October 31, 2016."
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> heck, if 99% of miners move to the fake chain all the better - lower real diff for
a while. << why if 99% of miners move onto that chain, would anyone ever move off?
mircea_popescu: punkman forward secrecy is
a one on one affair, mostly. the salt is supposed to implement as much as it's possible, and the lack of signatures.
mircea_popescu: ftr, the car was called "
a better horse buggy" originally.
mircea_popescu: <rithm> so it's
a new rfc and interoperability means nothing << interoperability with what ?
rithm: if it scales verically like "interaction" with this thing creates
a new "server" then that doesn't sound centralized
rithm: so it's
a new rfc and interoperability means nothing
rithm: 7000 would be more in line as
a "standard" irc port with security
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if anyone wants to make
a pool for the purpose that can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla "upgrading" in the limited sense of building on
a 1mb+ block.
mircea_popescu: hey, this is what people with gpus wanted all along, right ?
a chance to mine again.
mircea_popescu: heck, if 99% of miners move to the fake chain all the better - lower real diff for
a while.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla all i need really is
a tiny miner. even gpus will do.
mircea_popescu: if
a majority of miners accepts the fork they still have to relay and mine all my txn.
mircea_popescu: anyway, includes
a pastebin of the #freenode discussion etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from the fertile union of
a very strong "must succeed" ideology and
a very narrow "math is hard" cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: i mean if you must, in
a very 3rd hand way, "through ruining public schools" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i dun imagine they'll pretend like they "tested" it in less than
a few months, so there's still
a season i'd guess.
mircea_popescu: now if mod6 an' ben_vulpes + whoever else can contribute get snappy with the actual foudnation work, the beheading of gavin's pretense will come exactly in time for
a smooth transition to
a muchly superior alternative.
TomServo: Found
a coidesk article from April saying 100k
assbot: If you go on
a Bitcoin fork, irrespective which scammer proposes it, you will lose your Bitcoins. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1DgNTE2 )
Apocalyptic: wtf blogspot doesn't load at all without js, seriously... bitstein could you post
a text pastebin ?
mircea_popescu: this was
a coincidence, right ? and gallup actually conducts its polls, like irl, right ?
mircea_popescu: except they shoved
a 46 in there at the end for the first week of 2015. which, of course, includes three days of 2014.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, gavin hasn't been making any sense for
a long time now.
mircea_popescu: and will raise hell if you dare observe that they're the same stinky, unbearable, impossible idiots that men think they are, pretending lesbianism is not
a magical cure.
mircea_popescu: not only are your odds of finding
a like minded soul vanishingly tiny, but you're deluged in all the fat idiots who think that they may "hate men", as something that's at their disposal, and it's your job and obligation to humor them, because "you're different".
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me... it must suck to be
a lesbian. i mean
a real one, the whatever, .4% demographic.
pete_dushenski:
a useful product should be valued much higher,
a useless product much lower
jurov: BingoBoingo: good but it needs
a destination
mike_c: yw.
a few bitcents in the tip jar :)
BingoBoingo: Well, I imagine dilemma isn't too different from my present ability to buy
a gallon of gas for $2 because America is dumping its entire oild reserve now to try to fuck Russia in this moment.
mircea_popescu: ipv4 "not being enough" is
a sad symptom of letting too many people in.
mircea_popescu: take
a week to work in say
a supermarket or something. the helplessness of common postmodern man (well, mostly woman) is impressive.
mircea_popescu: decimation there's
a fundamental difference between those who use tools and those who make tools.
cazalla: not the app one you download but the paid monthly service, i thought it was more recent but perhaps i am wrong, i bow to your knowledge as
a pokemon master
BingoBoingo: So this internet of things... What the fuck is not intuitive enough about how
a stove works already.
assbot: Logged on 08-10-2014 17:47:47; *: asciilifeform has only
a simple four-bit feelings register (sloth, avarice, lust, wrath)
BingoBoingo: Even with. With WoT you'd still likely need
a more tangible item to trade for that many than $$$$... Prolly Plutonium would do.
mircea_popescu: "the smaller sum of 18,000 BTC missing presents
a still more onerous obstacle than Mt Gox faced in absolute terms as that many Bitcoin are largely unavailable to most people at any price denominated in national currency."
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: You know desoxyn is
a hell of an anti-depressant
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: If you want to write
a "Bitstamp always sucked piece" Qntra could run it.
mircea_popescu: "
A total of 18,867.62695929 BTC were moved from BitStamp's hot wallet"
mike_c: that is
a much bigger problem on the wiki. For you, you will get x comments and know there are 10x problems
BingoBoingo hopes these sutures heal without much of
a scar.
svetlana: irccloud is pretty central; I'll disappear for
a bit, thanks for bearing with me
kakobrekla: svetlana vpn is not much better than
a bnc and tor wont fly here.
svetlana: I'll get someone to write
a good guide on the bitcoin wiki (I'm not good at this subject and I found someone who is better)
cazalla: bit bored of it atm tbh, might take
a little break from it and come back to it in
a few weeks
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2015 00:06:29; RagnarDanneskjol: was just telling ASCII that I understand nano is on vacay for
a few days, also altgribble is avail for bcauth but not gpg
mircea_popescu: mike_c: and it is not unusual for it to catch humans << on the plus side, i get about 10-20 pieces of spam
a day, which are pretty much all handcranked. the attepts are well in the 1000s/hr. on the - side, occasionally people complain about having to redo
a comment / having lost
a comment in the depths.
