nubbins`: also if anyone is curious, the following links may be of some use as a quick and dirty deed verification system:
mircea_popescu: i think i'm in a hurricane over here. rain is more like a solid curtain than anything.
asciilifeform mailed in a turd
asciilifeform: ^ if that isn't a standard symbol, it should be
mircea_popescu: family. I want to know more about your country if possible. << anyone looking for a south sudanese chick ?
bounce: such a person would get a bunch of negrates and drop below the threshold for giving ratings.
mircea_popescu: not the best way to behave as a new guy.
xiando: but if it is a freshly created wot account then I am probably way wrong
xiando: seems a bizarre approach anyway, join wot, start negrating people. <- just guessing why someone would do that but I may be way off
xiando: mircea_popescu: would negrating be a way to get good ratings with evidence away?
mircea_popescu: seems a bizarre approach anyway, join wot, start negrating people. how far is that gonna go lol,
mircea_popescu: <Pierre_Rochard> that said, focusing on those on the fence about registering may be a better approach than chastising those who are very reluctant (as they would get a negative rating right off the bat) << i doubt anyone'd care enough to neg them, unless they did stupid shit
Pierre_Rochard: that said, focusing on those on the fence about registering may be a better approach than chastising those who are very reluctant (as they would get a negative rating right off the bat)
kakobrekla: a

elementofone: is there a dollar to bitcoin ratio on bitcoin?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well pieces prolly cover a good area around the pad. Made it up a bit before going boom.
mircea_popescu: you know they lied, you read it here what, a week ago ?
mircea_popescu: do you all have a broken implementation of syn cookiues maybe ?!
asciilifeform: not a dns diddle either
gribble: Error: "isdown" is not a valid command.
BingoBoingo: bounce: Reading comments on different articles about the change everyone with a linux background seems conviced OpenBSD is shooting itself, when really there's different ways to make machines do things.
asciilifeform sat in traffic jam, waited for rocket, didn't see it - then read #b-a and found live camfeed of it burning
TheNewDeal: Posted todays logs up until a few minutes ago
mircea_popescu: seems decimation flew a drone there anwyay!
mircea_popescu: or maybe the asswipes get to learn that they're being done a favour by being allowed to advertise, not the other fucking way around.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: cazalla http://trilema.com/2012/the-bitcoin-drama-timeline/#comment-109313 << check that shit out. <<< how do you know it's not his wife but him.. "not a bad guy"
mircea_popescu: both answered, buncha stuff, seem reasonable enough guys. i sent them a link to webirc
TheNewDeal: And for the record : this was a joke directed at mikayla, and two lines later I stated I was only kidding "19:29:01TheNewDeal:Usagi will open one for you, just send him a,pm"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, very little chemistry, it's really a history of 'alchemists' - if that weren't clear
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2014 19:19:31; asciilifeform: results - and from this comes strength; the fight now turns, from a draining, futile floundering - to a merry, wrathful clobbering of a dying vermin, who with us - men - has nothing whatsoever in common. But it all begins - with nonparticipation.' (Беркем аль Атоми, articles. translation mine.)
punkman: " As with binary signatures on text documents, a cleartext signature is calculated on the text using canonical <CR><LF> line endings." << wtf does this mean
punkman: so there's a lot of ways to make dupe deeds
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if any of you think this is unreasonable, please say why. << it's a wot thing. does not matter one rat's ass what anyone thinks of it as long as you got a policy you thought out and are sticking to.
mircea_popescu: try feeding a \r\n blob to a linux version
xanthyos: if i donate to startcoin i can get a free sterlingcoin cryptocurrency card!
mike_c: to have a list of ways the deed that deedbot is given is modified before publishing?
ben_vulpes: not a chair problem tho
asciilifeform: or, more pertinently, it does not matter that a cockroach is easy to crush. you don't want ten, nine, or one - in kitchen
mike_c: whether or not you trust something signed by a windows user has little to do with deedbot.
chetty: asciilifeform, not the most elegant way of putting it but you make a point
chetty: I like the idea you know someone is using a potential bad key because ot that problem
mod6: i don't own or use a single windows machine, and proud to have not for /years/
nubbins`: imagine every time you wanted to verify a deed, having to manually swap \r\n with \n
asciilifeform: bad enough that satoshi used (or convincingly pretended to use) it. i will not be signing anything of substance authored by a winblows user. cannot presume that he has sole control of his key.
nubbins`: otherwise you're essentially throwing up a huge "FUCK YOU" to all of us not using winblows
nubbins`: it's a line of code
nubbins`: do a regex replace, w/e, don't care
punkman: base64 was there for a reason
nubbins`: unless we've all suddenly decided to nominate Windows as the OS of choice, \r\n should not be within a thousand feet of this thing :D
asciilifeform: also, am i the only one here with a pair of shears? get snipping.
Naphex: so thats not a huge downtime, alerts get notified and keyd so email all the rest
Naphex: you run the route nodes to sync the data and keep a chain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to reprhrase. "what should happen, if there's a fork"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has a point tho. what happens if there's a fork ?
Naphex: asciilifeform: didn't quite pick up that turdmeister alert snip was a bitcoin patch to check it:)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but my fear is, how much can be trusted in the "data" of someone so fundamentally confused. can one who can't count keep a useful count of anything ?
mircea_popescu: xiando hey, help me out here, what's that ancient chinese tale of the young man who found a young woman, and they fell in love, and they wished to be alone in the world ? so they suddenly were! and then wished for a cook, and suddely a cook appeared, and then kept wishing and soon enough were back at home ?
mircea_popescu: individuation is a sexual, not an economical phenomenon.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: strauss is a (now very old) man who was involved with some of the '70s derpistans (actual attempts at island 'nations' by american jokers). worth reading if only for zoological purposes. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: no reason at all why a true bitcoind ought to take direct orders from the turdation...
Naphex: why would anyone give a shit to trade on a burning down closing exchange
mircea_popescu: actually, one should sometime do a count.
mircea_popescu: now everyone signs a copy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, and get a blob coded to the owner's key, and now we know someone tried.
mircea_popescu: 14:16:06 mats_cd03: kakobrekla: links on log1.b-a direct to log.b-a, which is down << umm no they don't ?
mircea_popescu: jurov he's trying to put a dent in his hosting bills ?
mircea_popescu: which is how you'll get kiled in the marketplace. if the market is 100 units, and 90 units are needed to support a well made unit, and 90 buyers could be satisfied by a shitty unit,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 1) what kind of dope must one smoke to put a micro under the tin can with the analogue amp ? <<< ahahah wut.
mircea_popescu: assbot: "we show that if an adversary is able to review this cryptosystem, a simulator can be constructed which solves the halting problem"-ethereum << that made precisely no sense. wut ?!
mircea_popescu: the us is going against a twin bottleneck, both social and technological. the us born boys of today are weak, the us tech of today is dull, no more edge. like that, it can only be a brothel.
mircea_popescu: TomServo you ever encountered that situation where you had a smaller island, but pushed tech, surrounded yourself with fortified mech infantry and railroaded all the firlds back when the idiots around still klonked each other with knights
mircea_popescu: next he can make a review of datacenters based on total board / cpu surface o.O
mircea_popescu: jurov you gotta make that mailman thing baby, otherwise " mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, others" will become a header here.
mircea_popescu: there's about a quarter billion idiots kept alive against nature by various welfarist governments' welfare programs, who exist like shitworms, everything is either a food dispenser or nothing to them.
mircea_popescu: kinda a good reason to not explicitly / publicisedly offer rewards.
mircea_popescu: Naphex: i'm gonna start banning accunetix scans soon. its incredible how many "security researches" and hax0rs just try and run it all day << like five hundred times in a row, too. because who knows, maybe it changed ?
mircea_popescu: "failure is a pleasure" brand
ben_vulpes: reference client was a total fat-finger on my part
punkman: maybe it was 3 wizards and a code monkey, who's to know?
mircea_popescu: two legions of choir angels and a third column of succubi might have sufficed, then.
bounce: apparently there wasn't a people person around who could find and organise the people to cook up bitcoin; needed a lone engineer to lay the ground work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a better demolition of the myth of "open source" and wikidiotarianism could also hardly be devised
mircea_popescu: five fucking years and a horde of jackals, all because there isn't nor apparently can there be a god out there to whom you pray and who gives orders adequately.
mircea_popescu: a better example of the problem of resource allocation can never be devised.
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2014 12:47:11; asciilifeform: undata: onerng.info << best lulz! this calls for a mini-review.
punkman: I'd bake a batch
asciilifeform: undata: the only formally published aspect so far is a set of high-res photos. but it, plus everything i have said about rng, is ten times more than enough to recreate it for a determined and impatient student.
mod6: ok gotta run for a bit, will be back later to continue the work on getting this thing finished.
mod6: it looks at both and enters in a row for each?
mircea_popescu: the bitcoin reference. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: mod6 ben_vulpes "This charter establishes the existence of a virtual organization whose mission is to maintain the Bitcoin reference client." <<< maybe strike client from there ?
TomServo: asciilifeform: *sings* What a wonderful woooorld...
