mircea_popescu: which has the excellent side effect of taking the piss out of all the redditard "unbanked" who were used to pay 0 fees.
mircea_popescu: punkman there's some derps putting in like 1mn txn for 1 btc total fees.
mircea_popescu: yeah, basically, whenever the market forces do what they expect they're all market-force-y, and when the market forces tell them to go dangle they're all democaca-y
mircea_popescu: "Market forces will prevail and miners will have to adapt." loller.
mircea_popescu: everyone that thinks i should have creme fraiche and strawberries, make your blocks v 1337
mircea_popescu: everyone that thinks i should have smoked cheese and salmon breakfast, make your blocks v 666
mircea_popescu: "o hai folks i'm talking from day after tomorrow. time is moving by really really too slow!!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re the entire timing discussion : suppose the pogo gets started always with a realtime switch, -time=14blablabla, and after that gets its time from the most recent block it accepts and checks for next ones being within +-7200 seconds.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform uh. the one published actually encompasses the first fork. i have other chains (also historical) that aren't wedged, but i had thought yours passed that point ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because bitcoin is secured by mining which happens irl and the difficulty of mining is set on the basis of irl entropy.
mircea_popescu: very useful, this network that takes 5 hours to confirm txn
mircea_popescu: just as long as we put THE REAL TIME as a txn in every block, pogos can be fine
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> markets break over the stupid leap second << no they don't.
mircea_popescu: because humanity is humanitarian and similar windows-powered bullshit.
mircea_popescu: he thought that everyone will run one and so it'll be too noisy to follow them.
mircea_popescu: why is pogo connecting to anything but good nodes again ?
mircea_popescu: if you mined and set the block version to maxint it might.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck we ended up with this situation where diff machiens have unequal times is beyond me
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i have nfi why unixtime "locales" are implemented so braindamagedly anyway. all machines should have the same exact integer for time. then if you wish to localize it, localize it on top of that
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i always thought ram and cpu are the constraints there
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course, if phuctor is this starved for io, would it be a good idea to move that thing to ssd ? maybe even raid ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron ideally take them apart and send them as parts he says
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno. whatever works. but you'll want a dozen ssds to run a dozen pogos.
mircea_popescu: real reforms = raping "the needy" with a pointed stick. it is morally wrong to be needy and full fucking stop.
mircea_popescu: "It is, therefore, essential that the great capital bestowed upon our government by the splendid NO vote be invested immediately into a YES to a proper resolution – to an agreement that involves debt restructuring, less austerity, redistribution in favour of the needy, and real reforms."
mircea_popescu: "Yanis Varoufakis, Greece's embattled finance minister, has resigned his post,"
mircea_popescu: maybe magnet:?dn=Hacked+Team&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fcoppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce&xt=urn%3Abtih%3AKFQDX74I4CQ3HOWTSYTBJF4JFHE5E2KV ?
mircea_popescu: The latest Tweets from Christian Pozzi (@christian_pozzi): "We are closing down. Bye Saudi Arabia. You paid us well. Allahuhakbah."
mircea_popescu: ok well since everyone thinks this so important ima have a machine contribute too, just fgor the seeding
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla apparently a dump of emails and other things
