cazalla: much like i need to go zzz now, polished off
a bottle of sambuca again
cazalla: nah, sounds
a bit gay to ask another man about his proclivities
cazalla: not really
a beating then eh
ben_vulpes:
a raised eyebrow should be enough for that disneyland nonsense
cazalla: all this drama is on account of one of her friends currently en route to ussa and her crying that she has
a kid, can't do shit atm
ben_vulpes: "and just look at gaston! you know the guy's
a date rapist."
cazalla: missus is already trying to organise some disney land belly of beast bullshit
a few years time to go to america, fuck thaaat
cazalla: fuck that, rather take
a boat
b00lcrap: hey mircea_popescu i was curious about something, does santa still ride
a sliegh down there ?
decimation: the 'long march through the institutions' - ever hierarchy was ripped down and replaced with
a communist bureaucracy
joecool: mircea_popescu: thanks, we'll make
a post directing to the information too
mircea_popescu: be so kind to leave
a comment once you fix it, it'll encourage other people to do the same i believe.
joecool: mircea_popescu: hey, one of my sites got
a pingback from trilema on christmas saying it was affected by the pingback ddos, is this still an issue in current wordpress? xmlrpc looks substantially rewritten since we initially worked around this
ben_vulpes: anyways the point i'm trying to make is that desired wallet behavior is entirely orthogonal to
a thing that "bitcoinates".
mircea_popescu: with
a 64k list one would have the following problem : the tree of following transactions 4 bits removed is... 64bit.
mircea_popescu: too many unsafe on weak entropy systems. then again, whith
a good entropy source, 256 or 65536 could be the default.
ben_vulpes: someone could even write
a script that takes an input,
a config file, and
a desired output to cook up the desired transaction.
mircea_popescu: so
a 3.7566 payment out of
a 3.9 btc balance becomes 3.7566 0.0992 etc
mircea_popescu: once you do that, idiocy like bitcoind does with "accounts" and whatnot is
a tempting step away
mircea_popescu: at the very least you need
a safe enumerator of pubkeys.
mircea_popescu: people had been building "wallet tools" as
a bundle in parallel which eventually got merged into bitcoind sometime around early 2012
Azelphur: can I reply to that with the wikipedia article explaining that
a HYIP is
a ponzi scheme
joecool: so is there
a new sploit in the wild doing reflection attacks with wordpress? we got
a pingback from trilema but we don't have it showing up in our logs (and we don't show up in the ones trilema posted)
kakobrekla: >Maybe MPEx should offer end-to-end quantum access to the engine, enabling users to submit orders with precisely defined wavefunction, instead of pretending above behavior is
a bug and trying to fix it in vain or rationalize it backwardly. < lol
ben_vulpes: it makes some amount of sense in
a pre blockchain explorer world i suppose: 'how is one supposed to know what transactions are available for spending?' 'listunspent, oh noob'.
ben_vulpes: the wallets notion is actually dangerous to noob minds. how is anyone ever supposed to get
a decent comprehensive understanding of bitcoin if it's behavior is wrapped up in this pernicious notion of wallets?
Adlai:
a saner approach (and probably what the relevant laws actually say, rather than this trite simplification) is that some amount of time has to elapse between placement and cancellation, perhaps measured on the "volume clock"
Adlai: "It was illegal for traders to place orders in the form of “bids” to buy or “offers” to sell
a futures contract with the intent to cancel the bid or offer before execution." <- wat
assbot: The Bitcoin Bowl field looks like it was pissed on by
a giant dog.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: have you heard of
a book called metro 2033?
BingoBoingo: It happens. I'm just surprised it was such
a good football game.
cazalla: thestringpuller, nah, didn't even ask to go for
a drink, fkn canadians eh
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2014 05:25:17; asciilifeform: there is, for instance,
a legend of an occasion where it was necessary to move several $mil in dollars out of the ussr
assbot: blockchain - What happens when you send
a transaction that ends up in an orphaned block. Is it recoverable? - Bitcoin Stack Exchange ... (
http://bit.ly/1H3gThT )
Apocalyptic: note the dubious claim that
a programmer nowadays will invent stuff
Apocalyptic: to quote "
A great programmer will invent things an ordinary programmer would never even think of."
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> paul graham << what the everliving fuck is
a 'great programmer' anyway // he gave some interesting property of such
a creature, but no definition alas
decimation: if
a harddrive were sent across the iron curtain, how would the transactions on the other side be reconciled?
decimation: asciilifeform: your 'offline' blockchain scenario is interesting. thought experiment: what if there was
a new cold war and the Internet cleanly split in two halves?
ben_vulpes: that though is not
a function of intermittently walking the recent blocks. function of braindamaged "db" implementation.
ben_vulpes: that's why i'm suggesting that data analysis be not
a part of bitcoin.
ben_vulpes: i'm currently of the opinion that providing
a tube through which to suck the blockchain is accetable.
cazalla: asciilifeform, he was having
a laugh with the host while saying that
adlai: the lines between faking dead social media profiles, faking
a living person's profile (that they don't know of), and creating profiles for
a person never even born - are quite fine.
BingoBoingo: Yes. Call out comment point scores. 6 from 5 comments. Way to wound
a man's ego.
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2014 15:03:57; punkman: while we're on the topic, I want to make
a service that fetches
a URL, hashes contents, and then bundles and notarizes those. thoughts?
davout: i was thinking about it the other day, about how it might make sense to embed some variant of it in
a smartphone photo app >> take
a pic, boom proof of existence
ben_vulpes: that was
a stated goal though, correct?
punkman: oh shit they rebranded XBMC, "Due to the potential for typo-bugs and breakage from Kodi renaming YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO MAKE
A FULL BACKUP before performing
a manual update and perform
a “Reset System Settings to defaults (Soft Reset)” after the update."
jurov: wouldn't be beyond them to have exposed rs422 points somewhere, or at least
a backdoor
assbot: i got
a chapstick that was on bargain but then I realize I don't have lips why did the freemarket betray me
adlai: it may not want to be walked, but when did that ever stop
a determined dogsitter?
adlai: this code isn't really used in scalpl yet, i'm kinda manually hacking together
a shitty version of what this could eventually become
ben_vulpes: odds are better that i'm just
a barbarian though
adlai isn't asking for any keys though, just handing out code like it's
a positive-sum game
adlai: so you could say he's
a competitor!
adlai: he has
a startup now
adlai: this person is
a "quant", ie former algotrader at JP Stanley Chase
adlai: problem is that net-profitable over X months or Y volume is no guarantee of future performance, and not considering past execution is
a little silly
adlai: pretty sure i glanced the peak for
a sec there, but i'm rapidly descending. fuck.
adlai: that's
a lie though, there is no shortage of caffeine
adlai: for the record, i think that's
a shame and
a sin, and that y'all are
a little silly for this - but that may be the guinness speaking, or jack, or johnny. who knows.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Well, Jurov dropped the link. NinjaSpamzor is
a moderator or some shit on that venue though.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> no ordinary spam. some bozo put in actual sweat for no immediately apparent purpose. << All spam involves those elements. This just takes it to
a different level...
gribble: Error: "merry" is not
a valid command.
kakobrekla: anyway, i would not really give away the addys. not because of the damage you couldnt do but i was saying it to point out its
a battle against infinity.
kakobrekla: yeah but btc doesnt give
a fuck about catholics
Luke-Jr: in
a centralised world, perhaps
