The20YearIRCloud: mircea_popescu: - I've passed out
a few, not to all tenants though due to the baby being born on last rent cycle
jurov: well.. seems like we need to draft
a roadmap
othernubs`: open
a bash prompt and type node wallet.js or w/e
bounce: it's quite
a lot useless if you're trying to build scripts with it, unless they're browser-based in some way
bounce:
a workable api would be nice. the current js stuff is... er, open for improvement.
othernubs`: i don't think gui should be
a priority, at all.
mike_c: charter ideas: 1) maintain
a workable core with no shit in it. 2) specify bitcoin 3) write
a new implementation because you can't polish
a turd.
othernubs`: calling it
a book seems to boorish at this point
mircea_popescu: especially
a shitty one run in circles through featuritis swamp by idiots
othernubs`: mircea_popescu> draft
a charter, then it gets gpg signed and that's it ? i'd donate <<< me too
mod6: but been
a freebsd guy for
a long time, helped out on
a lot of various things.
mod6: oh
a million years ago i created
a port called 'destroy'
bounce: perhaps not
a good idea to rely on them. then again, hosting
a git repo isn't exactly difficult.
mircea_popescu: well once they actually get the charter signerd i suppose there's going to be
a geethoob
mod6: i've done
a fair amount of C++ in the past.
a lot more C though, I must admit.
jurov: ok srs. mod6 is
a C++ programmer? or do you have any?
mircea_popescu: jurov none of that, i'm thinking more of, have two co-chairs, then when one wants to go out they vote unanimously to add
a third, and after 6 months the retiring one can leave.
mircea_popescu: draft
a charter, then it gets gpg signed and that's it ? i'd donate
gribble: Error: 'Contributed' is not
a valid integer.
mod6: I'll paste the entire thing, just
a sec.
mircea_popescu: i am serious, there's just no way to run
a web server w/o it.
mircea_popescu: bounce but 1k ? it's like... anything is seen by
a thousand people in
a month.
bounce: them 'merkins really can't keep their fingers out of anything and they manage to fsck up everywhere. not
a new observation, but it hasn't ceased to be painfully true either.
mircea_popescu: "339,192 US rank. This site reaches over 858 monthly people" << holy shit, it's not fucking possible that 1k people reading you on
a monthly basis puts you in the top 300k sites on the internets.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: On
a side note, I've noticed Roger Ver's bitcoinstore is not...around anymore? << well it wasn't really making all that much.
BingoBoingo: bounce: He married
a white girl is as far as I can tell.
bounce: not that that wouldn't have happened
a bit later anyway, with the sharia-huggers
othernubs`: maybe i should submit
a bitbet about the war measures act being enabled again
bounce: not everybody has the guts to walk in rod straight with
a campaign hat instead of
a helmet and going "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", you know.
mircea_popescu: for crying out loud. throwing like
a girl, but for guns.
mircea_popescu: bounce even police tho. it's
a basic fucking thing, what is this bullshit "i'ma lower my back in
a crouch so as to reduce mobility and improve exposure"
bounce: dunno. police pretending to be militaree is all the rage now. has been for
a while.
othernubs`: first shot took down
a canadian soldier at the nat'l war memorial
mircea_popescu: all they got is "How to Be
a Devils Fan In Ottawa -- 2014-15 Edition" and "Tune in TONIGHT for "MAKERS: Women in War""
mircea_popescu: and in general, when little bitches are asking for
a thrashing, it's
a good idea to give them
a thrasing.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ISIS invading, hell of
a thing to wake up to.
mike_c: isn't somebody making
a good alternative implementation? why take 0.5.3 as the b-
a client.
mod6: so keep in mind that
a lot of these packages got pulled successfully the first time. this is the second running after i bumped up the scrollback limit on the term:
bounce:
a list of CVEs and other security problems in bitcoin would be useful
mod6: and what if you already have
a private key that you'd like to import from cold storage? how would you send coins to new said address?
Apocalyptic: it may be handy to generate
a private key outside of the bitcoind mecanism
assbot:
A summary of changes to Bitcoin since 0.3.21
mod6: created
a vm of deb 6.0.10 or w/e and then just tried to run it directly without doing anything else.
mod6: so thought maybe it left off sudo because I created
a root account. not sure.
mod6: me too, that threw me off. but maybe i did something silly with the install by creating
a root account? i'm not super clued on deb... but it asked me to make
a root account first, then
a user account. so that was kinda bizzare to me.
ben_vulpes: mod6: plenty of sense. i was
a little startled to see that your debian dist didn't come with sudo.
mod6: when testing this, i don't wanna to "hack"
a bunch of stuff together. i'd like to do it in
a linear manner so seeing what was required is simple. because I'm sure that I can just start pulling down packages on my own and get it to work. just was trying to keep it simple.
ben_vulpes: Apocalyptic: i have to clear up that it's not
a *commit* summary but
a changelog summary.
Apocalyptic: ben_vulpes, that's
a helpful commit summary, well done
mod6: so yeah, maybe .5.3 is enough with
a few patches added in like your notes say. good work!
assbot:
A summary of changes to Bitcoin since 0.3.21
othernubs`: actually on the fence about illustrating the entire thing, with
a slight lean towards 'yes'
othernubs`: jurov, i'm going the other way. make it
a glorious proclamation
othernubs` notices that page 1 of the bookof bitcoin will be the entire contents of
a file named COPYING
othernubs`: websites are
a dice-roll but xchat and
a couple terminal windows = no sweat
othernubs`: ...keyboard issues, this xo-1 is actually
a quite capable irc machine
bounce: wants to change the world. picks sucky venue to promote broken website. makes
a splash, it does.
bounce: medium.com is such
a craphole. like wired, but pessimised for the tablet.
bounce: I don't care if maladjusted angry youths want to run away and make trouble in
a war zone. I do care if they come back, recruit some more kids (to do the same), cause trouble, shoot some jews, what have you.
bounce: AIUI they potted up their north sea gas proceeds, instead of giving it all away to the unwashed masses. gives them
a bit of playroom.
mircea_popescu: On Sunday, the Swedish media wound itself into
a tizzy over
a photograph of
a man dressed in black wading into the water somewhere in the archipelago. The security services were dispatched to find the man, who turned out to be
a pensioner named Ove, out doing some fishing. "I'm no spy, I'm
a pensioner," he told Expressen. "You can tell that it's me [in the photo] by my straight jeans, and I usually have
a backpack on."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: this suggests
a novel attack vector: depress price strategically to drive miners out, <<< except miners don't go in and out with the price. the market is amortisation driven, they have the gear and have to use it, so they'll use it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: it's completely wild to see how much the bitcoin network hashrate fluctuates. << you understand those aren't directly measured, but more like calculated after the fact ? it's normal variance, you're trying to guess how many times
a coin is tossed by how many heads you see. well...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's at least half
a dozen of various derp groups, and they're all wasting oxygen & public moneyz.
mircea_popescu: people may exchange info as to how much switching happens and where and how, on
a "need to operate network" basis.
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> being
a miner is notoriously
a "nobody's business" type of affair. there's nothing to be gained really. /// well, what if we picture the future 10 years out? are representatives of large hash more communicative? or is there 'political' position on bitcoin technicals more known?
mircea_popescu: being
a miner is notoriously
a "nobody's business" type of affair. there's nothing to be gained really.
mircea_popescu: hard to verify miners, easy to get
a bunch of derps that love to talk. but yes, it would be.
thickasthieves: <+othernubs`> let's get some big miners to give up their secret sauce /// yknow
a survey of large miners' and pools' sentiment on state of bitcoin dev, what versions they use, etc would be
a great qntra article
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no dude, it's
a pos libtard venue astroturfing the shit out of the internet.
ben_vulpes: using their considerable expertise in implementing
a just-in-time (JIT) compiled version of the Ethereum virtual machine and making computationally-complex contracts
a reasonably affordable possibility
ben_vulpes: looks like i could get it open in about
a minute with
a decent vise
pete_dushenski: "perfect, we have
a deal, here's your aircraft carrier."
ben_vulpes: this suggests
a novel attack vector: depress price strategically to drive miners out, drop large amounts of hashpower to rewrite blockchain.
pete_dushenski: i haven't tried their other equipment but it's priced to
a point where i certainly have high expectations
