asciilifeform: it melts my brain, that this is apparently a backwater subfield, whereas it really ought to be ~100% of cryptology

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform o hey, i think that guy's actually romanian.
mircea_popescu: the way alf dating scene worked, at least in my imagination, was girl now and again propositions 'im then has to spend the next three hours arguing with him because "it'll never work".
asciilifeform: in particular, the 2nd link.
asciilifeform: in other veryolds, 'It is now common knowledge among computer scientists that NP-completeness is largely irrelevant to public-key cryptography...' -- ( (very sadly) Papadimitriou . 'NP-completeness: A Retrospective', 1995. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.32.8685&rep=rep1&type=pdf )

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621476 << i'm mindblown at the notion that you actually approach women. ☝︎
trinque: aha. the guy's own face read expendable
mircea_popescu: trinque that was ~my read also
mircea_popescu: somehow this question never gets asked, "facebook spent 50bn to buy... users." ok... if they bought them where are they ?
mircea_popescu: dude... if the thing existed... WHERE DID IT GO ?!?!?!
a111: Logged on 2015-11-08 23:08 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes match.com, plenty of fish, okcupid tinder and the rest of the lesser known implementations of the social media dating scam are all owned by iac.

trinque: fine opportunity to use his as an example. low value guy, non-essential. public flogging.
trinque: asciilifeform: entirely likely trump canned flynn because he lied to him, and nothing more.
Framedragger: heh i recall buying some electronics at ccc in hamburg by doing a live transfer from mtgox. those were the funny days

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621456 << trump side is leaking names, i expect it's a lot more likely "career civil servants" will start geting foreclosing notices. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BACK THEN the pretense to "we are bitcoin revolutionz blabla" could be maintained. and strictly for such reasons.
mircea_popescu: trinque no, early on you could buy mtgox-issued dollar certs, they'd honor them.
mircea_popescu: phf the stripper offwork thing is a toss-up i guess. it depends a lot on the environment or something ; i've known both kinds, ie "girl next door by day champion stripper by night" as well as "stripping is my whole life and my car plates read TITTY"
asciilifeform: ( https://blockchain.info/tx/5da9e054f81716ff54fefa10fae3c025685faf5170d1b270b3384a3406d781e0 << typical example of tx spamola, in recent few blox. and yes i'd rather link to mimisbrunnr but it does not seem to have linkable tx knob presently. ) ☟︎
trinque: mircea_popescu: when people were selling their balances at a discount towards the end?
asciilifeform: trinque: i must confess, i have not been keeping up with the fauxcoinz
mircea_popescu: trinque you old enough to recall mtgox dollars ?
trinque: though honestly, where's the LIGHTNING TRANSFER announcement, whereby the various exchanges link up for "faster transfers between exchanges"
trinque: sure, that.
asciilifeform: trinque: i mean to say, moving, e.g., btc-e balances from eth to ltc and back etc.
trinque: no, the conspiracy goes to 11!1!11!!
trinque: they at least do the transfers between goxes on chain
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621445 << this made no sense whatsoever ☝︎
asciilifeform: seems trivially filipinoizable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: twatter lament re 'oh noez blox soo crowded' is disproof nao ?

phf: in fact one of those is https://lispjobs.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/first-clojure-job-posting-ft-lauderdale-usa/
phf: huh, you're right, 2009-12 is 3 clojure to 4 common lisp
asciilifeform: dunno that i've ever seen such a thing as a 'common lisp or scheme job' advertised publicly.
phf: well, it's been the case for about two years now, but that's the first time i put it in logs :>
asciilifeform: i thought the plague came in '09 and never left.
phf: "lispjobs" that's traditionally a place, where one posts rare and meaty common lisp and sometimes scheme jobs is now full of clojure work. last one is "clojure and clojurescript web developer"

asciilifeform: the classical 'kickstarter' business model -- 'hey, it ain't ~us~ defrauding you, it's this stable of monkeys over there, you agreed to trust them'
phf: so i canceled, but of course airbnb eats the "service fees". getting them to refund service fees is impossible. ticket stuck in support limbo for past 5 days.
phf: host listed a price, and after confirmation informed that i'm only getting half of what i asked for ("oh it's one bed per one room, you need to purchase another room to get second bed")
phf: in unrelated lulz, i decided to use airbnb, and got fucked on the first transaction
phf: ..but i've met plenty of dumb girls who dress like one, because i suppose that's how they attract dat dream guy from a porn video. the miami bouncer dude.

asciilifeform: 'Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.'
asciilifeform: was promised to be an independent investigation. How an Obama donor could be trusted to investigate Obama’s heir apparent was never explored by the fake news media. Even worse is that as Chief of Counterintelligence, Laufman has the power to kill any investigations into leaks, a power he has been exercising.'

asciilifeform: ( that day and since ! )
asciilifeform: but we're expected to believe that it was simply martians taking a sudden liking to bitcoin that one day, aha.
asciilifeform: i still remember when blox moved from ~200kB to ~full-but-often-null in ~day. and stayed there.
asciilifeform: the conclusion asciilifeform draws from the continued existence of emptyblox and oldcoinfreetxen is 'most tx are usg-authored spamola'. other folx - can draw other conclusions, if they want.
asciilifeform: ( the cost, to the attacker pools, of tape-painting tx, is supposed to be 'they forgo fees from actual people', but there is very little pressure from actual-people. ergo this 'cost' is ~0, i suspect. )
shinohai: Their diatribe under the "Service Statement" is lulzy
asciilifeform: trinque: they are paying, mainly, into own pockets
trinque: I can beg my way into one of their "unlimited" blocks?
trinque: shinohai: lol wtf is this
trinque: though while difficulty increases (and block size stays the same) I don't see how even these will not be forced into paying higher fees.
trinque: hm. no, I see your point. the "market" being mostly determined by malefactors burning govt funding.
asciilifeform: as would the empties.
asciilifeform: trinque: if blocks were crowded on account of actual people, the free tx thing would be a distant memory
shinohai: Use the sooper-dooper tx accelerator ! https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
trinque: asciilifeform: that rule is certainly idiotic, "coin age" wtf
trinque: now it's looking like I'll need at least 0.0015 to 0.002 to get in
trinque: having watched deedbot transactions for quite a while, I can at least say that once 0.001 fee confirmed almost immediately
asciilifeform: quite likely why the old-coins-move-for-free thing still exists.
asciilifeform: trinque: the full blox are also full 'for political reasons' ( usg spamolade )
shinohai: trinque: that is precisely why ViaBTC does it.
asciilifeform: what i'd like to learn is, whether fee-per-ullage-byte has moved. and in what direction.
trinque: dunno that it's the same "they". folks gunning for idiocies like "unlimited" might be mining empty blocks for political reasons
asciilifeform: trinque: it is true! but at the same time they mine empty blocks, and blocks full of free-tx..
trinque: I'm only commenting that it's factual that fees have been increasing for years
