mircea_popescu: specifically : that at the very least it should not be possible for one to fire a missile at any place that scarfs up txn or knows about them and hit a miner.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm hearing that argument can actually be had in favour of the mempool/minerpool layered implementation.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i think that'd be actually +ev, but just a thought.
mircea_popescu: ask me more questions about what this guy did in his basement. i enjoy the feelings of impotent frustration.
mircea_popescu: there has to be some import of market into mempool functioning.
mircea_popescu: this will give node operators an incentive to present good pools to the network.
mircea_popescu: even better if the behaviour is dynamic (ie, the minimum only kicks in if the mempool is over 1mb, and selects for optimal fill)
mircea_popescu: actually a switch to create "minimally acceptable /kb subsidy" as a precondition of taking tx into mempool might be useful.
mircea_popescu: so no, jwh "i just want to contribute" doth not work irl.
mircea_popescu: because people must at some point come to comprehend that they are responsible , at the very least for their own lives, and that the choices they make come with consequences, and the consequences will NOT negotiate.
mircea_popescu: this is very important to ber there, plainly spelled out.
mircea_popescu: more deeply : there is exactly ZERO derivative work implied in the bitcoin foundation's releases. we don't use anything they did, for the explicit reason that everything they did is shit, with the furter implication that every man who ever worked for them WASTED THEIR LIFE.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: What about cutting off the leading zero. Then actual releases start at version 7 or 10, following in the tradition established by the early Linux Distros. << the problem is that the implication of having a 1 leading version (ie, mature product) is laughable. we don't. hopefully one day we will, but the current offering is not it.
mircea_popescu: is this some sort of "consensus" that they have or something ? again ?
mircea_popescu: i think you're not particularly qualified to make this call. what shadow ?
mircea_popescu: there has been no version of bitcoin released past 0.5.3 ; we are releasing the first one. it's 0.5.4
mircea_popescu: do you expect torvalds to consider what random shitforbrains released as "linux kernel" and go "hey guise we can't use version x.x, anon shitforbrains used it fiorst!!11" ?
mircea_popescu: will you propose ~WE~ change the versioning number when (not if) some OTHER shitgnomes release a faux version downstream ?
mircea_popescu: four followds three. this is not a function of anyone's idiocy.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell mircea_popescu turns out, bitcoind 0.5.4 shitgnomatic edition existed. << makes exactly 0 difference.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> Hopefully to find a native speaker, which is impossible in my small city. << so buy a bride. ukr won't be cheap much longer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well z80 had a multiplier and iirc shifter
mircea_popescu: <punkman> "Ades Stone talks about the Treasury's decision to put a woman on the $10 bill and why she thinks a woman should be on the $20, too." << "because they've not done anything worth the mention so perhaps if we do they start ?"
mircea_popescu: he has a point tho. anyone feel like writing up a documentation page for trinque to stick up there ?
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> If he reneged on said offer to me, I'd pribably go to jail for assault. << over a hundred bux ? what are you, bugsy ?
mircea_popescu: provided silverware comes into fashion with the chinese middle class or something
mircea_popescu: silver down to 16 huh ? where is that guy came in here was an expert that hadn't been wrong in a decade knew for usre silver's going up ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i think i had a cup there with mthreat coupla weeks ago. coffee's not bad
mircea_popescu: that's basically the idea here. 4k is large enough, 8k doesn't improve anything.
mircea_popescu: what, that blowfish or whatever dies before 4096 rsa ?
mircea_popescu: fore the other, at that level it would doubtlessly be cheaper to crack the symmetric cypher involved
mircea_popescu: there is no serious benefit offered by a key larger than 4096. for one thing, we don't currently have any reason to believe even 2k keys can actually be factored.
mircea_popescu: you could not use gcd for this, however, as gcd is an algorithm to find shared factors, not simply factors. you'd have to have something to compare against.
mircea_popescu: but nothing keeps you from simplytrying to factor your own modulus on your own machine
mircea_popescu: well, again, gpg has a probabilistic test for primality baked in.
mircea_popescu: you could run a probabilistic test on your own machine for your own modulus. if you have a good rng this usually woirks,
mircea_popescu: a) if you're looking for binaries it's unlikely your key is your weak point ; b) gcd is an algorithm, i guess you could call it a function. "greatest common divisor" ; c) P is at the core of this, as it looks for MUTUAL divisors
mircea_popescu: well, an implementation of gcd is what you need, and the P
mircea_popescu: it's been too loaded for months as it cuts through millions of 'em
mircea_popescu: it's most likely failure due to the fact that the apache bit is last in line at the cpu through
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor well atm it's working through a lengthy list of keys already extant on the sks servers.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yes, very amusing how the stupid brain doesn't merely fail to work, but manages to work contrary t osense. you'd think this has to be engineered, but apparently iot comes naturally
mircea_popescu: "Our Solutions Leadership About Us Careers News Contact" who the fuck thought this is how you do it ? it's almost like the soviet butcher, "we're the advertising shop, we don't have publishers. fish is what they don't have in the shop down the street"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: jesus fuck the world's coming to an end over here. nobody seems to be doing any work anymore.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing to me is that the general internet population assumes nationality = residence.
mircea_popescu: how about that. find someone who can buy btc with paypal eh.
mircea_popescu: cazalla you know i had an account for a decade +, which ~I~ closed ?
mircea_popescu: they keep changing names every thirty weeks too, like any internet scammer.
