kakobrekla: rely tx policies is like you are temporarily covering yourself with a blanket
Luke-Jr: no more "I have a good policy idea, but nobody will use it because I have 5 Mh/s"
Luke-Jr: one of my goals right now is to make it so people can just drop a Python/Ruby/whatever script in their bitcoin directory for their policy
Luke-Jr: it's not a miner-only thing; each node has a policy
Luke-Jr: so since node operators are lazy and don't set their own policies, it puts a weird centralising pressure to try to make some kind of one-size-fits-all policy. which makes for lots of stupid political arguments
kakobrekla: a
Luke-Jr: so ideally it should be determined by each node operator, not a centralised group
danielpbarron: a transaction with a bigger OP_RETURN
danielpbarron: what happens if one of these things gets included in a block? does a pre 0.6.* node reject the whole block?
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: "Perhaps we should set the default to a random value between 0-80 at startup, to incentivise miners making their own decision without actually forcing it explicitly."
decimation: kakobrekla: the guy writes in a normative way as if he was in charge of something
ben_vulpes: any way bitcoin can be used is a fine way to use bitcoin.
kakobrekla: a non-antisocial!

asciilifeform: a few of them
ELio19: I'm a Cuban computer programmer.
ELio19: <assbot> You need a better WOT rating. (level 2 with assbot >0)
mircea_popescu: she basically looked like a melatonious lion.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: nigger is one thing, that's like freedom of speech << for some reason the Chappelle show skit that involved a white family with the last name "Niggar" came to mind.
mircea_popescu: guess what ? 100 dollar bills are also a way of transmitting value , which is what he misuses "money" to signify.
mats: “Stay away from it. It’s a mirage, basically. … It’s a method of transmitting money. It’s a very effective way of transmitting money and you can do it anonymously and all that. A check is a way of transmitting money, too. Are checks worth a whole lot of money just because they can transmit money?"
mircea_popescu: a a yes yes
thestringpuller: re: mircea_popescu: mebbe someone should write a piece detailing how tech crunch bit a steel girder providing whitewashing services for well known bitcoin scammers.
kakobrekla: jurov actually i did it yest, a bunch of old computer stuff which cant be disposed in a home dumpster
mircea_popescu collapses in a pile
mircea_popescu: more like a q thingee
ben_vulpes: an mmorpg is a decade-long project
mircea_popescu: what sort of a cult is this!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so is he quoting a convo that actually occured on irc or one that actually occurred in his head ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller << re the techcrunch cadaver washing job in the case of mccaleb : mebbe someone should write a piece detailing how tech crunch bit a steel girder providing whitewashing services for well known bitcoin scammers.
assbot: No. It is a disgusting channel that is filled with white men who seriously advoc... | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1CRP35T )
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell sexy_saffron https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8795280 << is this ninjashogun posing as a woman again ?
mircea_popescu: too much of a sjw dude vibe to it.

assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
thestringpuller: shttp://techcrunch.com/2014/12/06/a-bitcoin-battle-is-brewing/ << LOL
dignork: thestringpuller: "repeatoffender" keyword in their game, is a nice touch of insanity :)
jurov: "I am sorry that I had such a bad experience with your community but I am being extremely negatively affected as a result." lolwut
thestringpuller: http://imgur.com/a/5afpv << coindesk without CSS
dignork: BingoBoingo: even though giving private key is a stupid way to do it (you can prove the same by signature), normally I wouldn't care about leaked privkey, which ideally was used only once. Unless the key is also used for gribble, but then, who would use non-random key for grubble auth. Where do you see the problem?
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: We were promissed an assload of snow and instead got a bit of drizzel so going good here.
[]bot: Unable to get details for bet 1089: Get http://bitbet.us/bet/1089/?json: dial tcp 185.56.137.194:80: ConnectEx tcp: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
BingoBoingo: joecool: Well, considering the entire premise of an android phone is carrying around a demilitarized zone between yourself and google sure.
joecool: BingoBoingo: that's a feature
BingoBoingo: I have no BTC on there at the moment. I can't even create a backup of my wallet file.
xanthyos: i thought none of the android app wallets were safe. are you just testing it with a small amount?
BingoBoingo: So I apparently have an Android phone, but it is a shitty prepaid burner deal which is a plus. On the downside I am just now discovering all of the ways the Schildbach wallet sucks.
Adlai: If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
Adlai: P(A) is reasonable, but P(A|~B) seems like a long shot
decimation: it would be amusing if that draws in a crowd though (the HN thread)
Adlai: the problem, and perfection, of irc is that it's just a bunch of words
ben_vulpes: who knew sexy_saffron was such a vile slut shamer.
ben_vulpes: "seriously advocate for slavery" << gosh, respect a woman's right to live in whatever kind of sin she wants!
decimation: it's not entirely a surprise, this
assbot: No. It is a disgusting channel that is filled with white men who seriously advoc... | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1rjgBj2 )
decimation: anyway, the pressure to not-lose would be much greater than the pressure to win-big in such a world
decimation: presumably in a world funded primarily by investors actual capitol instead of made-up dollars, the loss of a bitcoin on an idiotic scheme is going to be a loss forever
decimation: this is something that underlies my yearning for 'hard currency': the idea that a hard currency would make defecting in this manner much less profitable
Adlai: on the other hand, proper cooperation strategies could yield a strong enough ecosystem that it could survive defections of individual entities without the entire cooperative system collapsing
decimation: whoever is willing to 'cooperate' and produce hardware/software that actually serves only the customer, will be eaten both those who are willing to defect for a cheap buck
gribble: Error: "bc,stast" is not a valid command.
Adlai: given sufficient raw materials and chuck moore replicants, it should be possible to build a stack clean in both hard- and software.
asciilifeform: the physical components of a mega-chumpatron have to be made somewhere.
asciilifeform: (an undergrad can throw a mips-compatible fpga core together in a day)
decimation: whereas skilled undergrad could make a mips cpu?
asciilifeform: (arm makes a mockery of the whole risc concept, hundreds of weird instructions with a multitude of modifier bits, hilariously varies addressing mechanisms, etc)
asciilifeform: despite being a steaming crock of shit compared to mips
asciilifeform: i'll point out that the complexity of the designs, which makes straight plagiarism so irresistible to the asians, doesn't happen in a vacuum.
decimation: from his point of view, he has a design team of usg zeks to work for him?
decimation: so if a chinaman owns a foundry, and can get design warez, why not build & design own chips?
asciilifeform: point is that 'w4r3z dangle' is a time-honoured usg tactic.
decimation: yeah but how are you going to walk into a foundry with your warez design?
decimation: but doesn't give them a single step toward 'making their own'
asciilifeform: what does it mean if asia has all of the factories, but is utterly dependant on winblows and a stack of monopoly turdware as tall as empire state building ?
decimation: the annoying australian and some guy from cleveland interview a guy who works for bell labs designing >100 ghz analog ics

asciilifeform: each ultimately a set of wrappers around closed blobs.
asciilifeform: xilinx ships a set of identially-functioning turdlibraries for both languages.
asciilifeform: aka a turd.
asciilifeform: decimation: months of experimentation << the end result is a product which cannot be understood, function of which cannot be rationally explained, and which will break on the slightest deviation from the parent hardware
asciilifeform: you can't slow-prototype a dram controller!
decimation: it can be done, it just takes many man-months of experimentation with a particular set of hardware
decimation: I've heard from folks who have that it is a pain in the ass
decimation hasn't closely examined a dram datasheet
asciilifeform: ask a 'bios tweak' aficionado.
asciilifeform: works best with a 'sandwich' of dies.
decimation: ideally one would find a simultaneous set of 'hits' over an area so one could backtrack the cosmic rays
decimation: as kind of a pseudo analog computer?
asciilifeform: and even as a particle detector.
asciilifeform: i experimented with using a 'refresh-starved' dram for computation.
decimation: yeah, that's a fair point
asciilifeform: just forget a refresh sometimes. or violate one of the many mandatory command sequences.
asciilifeform wrote a ddr2 controller for 'xilinx' chip once. it is amazingly easy to create a dysfunctional one with behaves like, for instance, the one pictured in that paper.
decimation: http://www.acmeportable.com/products/netpac#specs-section << here's one, only weighs 24 lbs and comes with a fritz chip
decimation: try buying a laptop with ecc dram
thestringpuller: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Fiesta_Bowl << so this was really a thing?

cazalla: really just seems a way to scam donations
