undata: ben_vulpes: at least the dog would kill
a guy for you; my girlfriend's cats would just watch
ben_vulpes: ripping usg crud out of the thing is
a recipe to endanger any coins i'd have if i were not eating ramen so that the dog might eat
mircea_popescu: well, half
a day. but they didn't fly wortha shit at night anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, those were the days. gasoline + 5 man crew for
a day, 100 bux.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when I was
a boy i actually bought an airplane (ride) for 100 bux.
bounce would starve
a bit too soon to take that up, ATM. otherwise have the time.
ben_vulpes: // (no blocks before with
a timestamp after, none after with
ben_vulpes: // What makes
a good checkpoint block?
bounce: from
a hero to
a girl in
a few short log lines
mircea_popescu: 20 // can be up to 20, while when downloading from
a slow network with
a mircea_popescu: 19 // every system. When reindexing from
a fast disk with
a slow CPU, it
mircea_popescu: 18 // be slower. This number is
a compromise, as it can't be accurate for
mircea_popescu: i *think* the maximal lock count
a block may possibly need is somewhere just south of 600k, but i don't have the shithandy.
mircea_popescu: by default
a DB_CONFIG file in bitcoin root fixes the problem.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bdb needs
a set_lk_max_locks directive to function properly with larger blocks.
joecool: hitting
a wall with pinentry not drawing
a pin dialog (using the curses form)... just bails out
joecool: i figure i'll ask, any of you guys ever built gnupg2 into an initramfs? attempting to use
a smartcard for luks
mircea_popescu: "that every man carries an endless, self-replenishing, delicious chocolate factory is simply
a matter of perspective" ~ lenin.
mircea_popescu: how much of
a buggy half implementation of
a garbage collector is there in bitcoind ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves evil is
a concept ulterior to mp and whales.
mircea_popescu: you're in the position of the wooden plank that's straighter than
a bridge crossbeam. yes, now.
mircea_popescu: not what i mean tho. incidentally : that's rms gnu. he lies when he says that's foss. it's not. it's
a particular attempt at
a middle way, with him as the "modest" hero.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i confess i'm one of the sinful looking for
a golden middle way
nubbins` paws blindly for
a donation address
ben_vulpes: that story had
a what - century long incubation period?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you're moving at
a pretty high velocity.
xiando: (guy who bragged about having
a 8k short position at BFX)
adlai: dunno, maybe if we regulated bitcoin
a little better, then we'd have proper insiders n stuff
kakobrekla: <adlai> anything is possible when you have such
a wild west of unregulation < noone can claim to be bitcoin 'insider' . that doesnt hold true for regualted markets.
adlai: well, if you're waiting around to sell
a slippy amount, and liquidity appears, you'll take that opportunity
adlai: anything is possible when you have such
a wild west of unregulation

bounce: that thing stinks quite
a bit.
xiando: could actually be true if the vehicle had
a constant speed of 34 Kph (such likely)
gernika: I once ran over
a bicyclist. She then got
a ticket.
mircea_popescu: bounce easy to explain : all preditors have an innate hatred of fast moving, light items ; preditors are better suited than rumminants for life on earth. as
a result, people on bikes are in
a position ot annyo people in cars, and people in cars are in
a position to give them what for.
bounce doesn't really understand the animosity between bikes and cars, though. seems to be
a north american thing.
xiando: mircea_popescu, if US laws apply in practice if you serve US citizens or not is basically
a question of where you are, really. If you are in this country and the US tells the regime they want you then you're just picked up and put on
a plane and maby, if you are very lucky, someone in the regime will bother to ask why they want you
mircea_popescu: the world is not
a us subject. the us is
a subject in this relationship. an incredibly cheeky one, to boot.
thickasthieves: granted, though i realize now the quote is missing
a bit of context, I think he was more pointing out that you could operate in the US, outwardly
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: " Whether one is
a US-based exchange or not doesn't decide whether one needs to register. The question is whether
a company has clients in the US or not. If so, they are subject to regulations of that jurisdiction." << utter bullshit.

a vps?

mircea_popescu: "i can't convince you people that 3 = 4 it's like talking to
a wall you're
a cult wah wah"
mircea_popescu: "It’s like talking to
a wall. There’s no use arguing with
a cult."
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: it's like having
a part-time job where you get paid to not show up <<< you're like one step away from being
a mobster don. which is what that job is.
adlai: eyeballing is probably effective for reasonably accurate big picture view, especially in
a situation like bfx, where most volume is in
a single market
adlai: xanthyos: another scenario: i place
a margin bid. you market sell. usd swaps go up, but the market has dropped. does this show up in an eyeballing of the charts?
thickasthieves: it essentially lets you attach
a "hash" to
a token and tx, which is just
a hyperlink to stored data elsewhere i think
thickasthieves: why does this whole deeds, b-
a form, sending 1btc to urself, hash, thing make me think about colored coins?
xiando: adlai: I actually do not get what you mean or why you are wondering if there is
a colleration, if you short sell 1000 BTC then you borrow 1000 BTC so obviously swaps increase when the sell happens.
