BingoBoingo: I think the price for a lot of pool ops would be 25.01 to 25.03 BTC
X-Rob: But if I was to be offered say... 10* block reward to get block 1234 mined by pool B, I'd probably take that bet.
X-Rob: I saw an amusing comment on reddit yesterday, on a photo of someone climbing a massive radio tower. They said 'You couldn't pay me enough to do that', and someone responded with '72.6 billion dollars. Per hour'.
X-Rob: My idea is, if I had bet on pool B mining block, and I controlled access to hardware that would bias pool B to mine the block, why wouldn't I just mine at pool B? I would win the bet -and- I would earn whatever percentage of the block the hardware earned, which would probably be more than 25% of the block reward.
BingoBoingo: Enigmail used to just work, but I dun trust the new "Ease of Use" update.
punkman: http://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/thread/3e7268a4/ "Still as a computer scientist I need an answer to which system I will teach in my class next week. Command-line PGP ?!?"
X-Rob: I'll earn my PPLNS, plus I'll win the bet.
X-Rob: Why would I hash privately and mine at pool C, whjen I can just hash at pool B to start with?
X-Rob: Wether or not they MINED the coins is a different question, but I can't see any advantage in pool C mining coins for pool B
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Well, p2pool is a specific case, and I probably shouldn't have used it, because that's one of the ones you /can/ be 100% certain about.
X-Rob: However. There are a large number of pools where you can only guess. And 'because I say so' is about as much certainty as you're going to get.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Indeed I am
jurov: but.. i'm not miner and maybe i;m mistaken. that there is none in this channel makes me a bit sad.
jurov: so, i assert it is not "purely declaratory" but actual work the miners have to chew on
jurov: i don't get this. changing "root" address will help how?
mircea_popescu: "here, sign this block i found"
mircea_popescu: punkman the pot, i mean the betting pot.
mircea_popescu: so here, i found a block, you publish it and we split the pot.
mircea_popescu: jurov you realise this is purely declaratory ? i can publish blocks on any ip i want.
mircea_popescu: i mean what's the advantage to rolling this dice as opposed to roling a proper, provably fair dice ?
punkman: Rangerk, website was a bit unclear, if block ends up in Other, do I lose?
nubbins`: yeah, i can't think of anything else it'd be either
kakobrekla: and if you modulate it, you get "i am the great cornholio"
nubbins`: i was walking through a parking lot last night and as i passed this tracksuit-wearing guy, he shouts "GO FUCK YOURSELF, YA SLUT" at his phone and then starts walking really closely behind me
BingoBoingo: I didn’t say that, did I ? << Amazing how saving something makes everyone think you favor it.
mircea_popescu: chetty o.i
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, ima ask teh person in charge.
nubbins`: meantime, what sorta rates do your uni kids offer? i've been doing a bitta research myself, seems $1/poster (plus printing) is average for traditional postering crews in large cities
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu - fascinating as always you human being!. think I'll need to read that twice at least and start learning some Rom
mircea_popescu: not that i know of.
nubbins`: i'mma look into it further
mircea_popescu: i guess this is then a chrome bug actually.
nubbins`: i guess the incognito tab doesn't give up the existing cookie, site can't find it, sends one over... but i'm surprised that'd overwrite the existing cookie
nubbins`: er well, i mean when i exit incognito mode and use a regular browser window again
nubbins`: it seems like whenever i visit trilema in chrome incognito mode, it resets my credits cookie
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.

nubbins`: oh, sorry, as i'm reading up on them, i realize it's canadian only
chetty: I am NOT gonna ask wtf that is
nubbins`: honestly, i find it baffling the type of stuff people shove into their mouths
chetty: I saw a thing where they tested blood stored 50 years ago so its not better detection
nubbins`: i kid
nubbins`: "i can't eat wheat"
nubbins`: i know several people who actually have celiac disease
chetty: I can't believe anybody still listens to the food police
nubbins`: i was reading an article recently about gluten actually
chetty: ugh, I can not eat them, and they are the standard breakfast here :(
ThickAsThieves: (i dont worship god, just saying i'm wildly guessing)
ThickAsThieves: but i'm being a typical symbol-reading, word-menaing-guessing, god-worshipper in that
chetty: I been curious for sure about the anti-gluten propagandising, havent heard the +fat much
ThickAsThieves: i think it's more to do with consumer manipulation
CheckDavid: But I guess its still not enough to voice?
ThickAsThieves: i do think US education is a major culprit (just read the Mike OCD article)

mircea_popescu: what i don't like is the poor crypto use.
justusranvier: I want Gentoo to ditch source tarballs entirely in favor of Git. It should be easy for a user to patch the source code of any package they run and have Portage handle merging changes from upstream
justusranvier: I wanted them to cater more to developers, and make it even easier to dogfood your own packages
diametric: the closest i've come is archlinux.
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: Yeah, I actually don't have many compilation/dependency problems any more, but it's not progressing very much as a distribution
diametric: i used to be a gentoo developer.
mircea_popescu: i diddle them all and love none asciilifeform
justusranvier: Sucks in many way, yet I can no longer use traditional binary distros, and don't have time to go back to Linux From Scratch
mircea_popescu: aha. i thought website reorg
asciilifeform: wake up, diametric. him - too, i think.
asciilifeform: i for one would still take it over alternative.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i certainly do not see such... piss in the chalice in byzantium... pissing i nthe chalice in rome << some of us might like a place to defect to (specifically defect, rather than gulag-break and run into taiga)
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2014 04:06:06; asciilifeform: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LQKkpS3b
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> incidentally, it is shocking, outrageous but also very amusing to see just how copy-pasted the final days us is from the peak of romania. it's almost as if instead of the romanian idiots copying teh superior us businessmen, the reverse happened. << i'd love to hear more about this
RagnarDanneskjol: or should I reach out to them

mircea_popescu: the topic please read it and care because I have nothing else."
mircea_popescu: abuses of power. Members of his team bugged an office? Heh, how simple. Bug the world like Bush-Obama. I have always been intrigued by Nixon's rise, fall and return like a rock star set to politics, and this is my current take on a unified theory of Watergate."
