mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: then squadron with stone megacock can feel victorious, vindicated. << methinks this view is
a little too convenient.
mircea_popescu: you gotta kill some people. avenue
A is like so, avenue B is like so... hmm... well ok, let's go with B
mircea_popescu: decimation: usg is the unintentional beneficiary of
a great deal of "I want to make
a difference" altruism << so no, it's not altruism. unrelated to that, there's
a lot of "usg is the only obvious recipient for
a bunch of faking of the <i want to not have sex but for everyone in school to think i do> sort."
mircea_popescu: ownership is
a convention, meaningless outside the convenants.
mircea_popescu: military service of some sort or another is
a required stage in male maturation.
gribble: What do you think I am,
a shell?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: lol that turd reads like it was
a 'mad libs' product << three steps to take to avoid making any sort of meaningful change :
a) stick to obama & the libertard's mickey mouse version of "change" ; b) pretend like disaster is unlikely and so the possibility can be safely ignored while it's not happened yet ; pretend it's "overwhelming" as so best ignored as it happens and shortly thereafter ; c) make sure y
mircea_popescu: ahahaah epic. "every fifth opponent was
a cross between
a tank with
a watchtower and every previous boss"
dignork: mircea_popescu: on
a concept level lurkmore is
a copy of encyclopedia dramatica, but they do much better job imho
☟︎ MolokoDesk: yeah, there's
a pending item stuck in the queue because it missed (probably) it's block.
dignork: MolokoDesk: you need
a local copy of electrum wallet without QT mess, it's
a plain python
MolokoDesk: also I'd be setting up binary buffers and cryptosigning them and all that. it's
a chore.
MolokoDesk: electrum is the gold standard for this sort of thing (pun intended) but that's
a serious dev/admin/maintenance thing on this end. If I had electrum RPC already at the start of this I may have done it that way. it's still on the desirable things to do list.
dignork: MolokoDesk: somewhat of
a hack, but electrum has getaddressbalance function, which returns balance for any address (unlike bitcoind)
MolokoDesk: oh, are you going to register deedBot with WoT or should I do that or, leave it indeterminate. I can export the keys and give you
a copy.
MolokoDesk: well, unless we can break it some more today... I can get on this. I've been up rather
a while today.
MolokoDesk: ok. I need to tighten
a few things up in deedBot. It's possible that's going to run into October.
MolokoDesk: scanning back would allow the tracking interval to be longer than
a minute or 5
MolokoDesk: sure. I was considering looking for block height increments of more than 1 and then scanning back. alternatively, scan backwards to the first block with
a date before the incoming file creation date.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk these freakishly fast blocks happen
a lot actually.
mircea_popescu: so if anyone knows anything about growing cactuses, get back to me. i got
a tiny something, which i believe is armatocereus godingianus. he seems happy enough and is growing, but the shoots are all spindly. ie, the base like 6 strands each an inch thick, each shot this inch long, 1/8th of an inch wide things.
MolokoDesk: deedBot is sniffing the top block once 60 seconds. if
a freakishly fast block mining event happens back to back it could miss the inclusion in the block.
punkman: if there's
a lot of volume, best to keep local copy of OTC database
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk ok. if gribble can grant deedBot unlimited requests thats the solution. << that's not the solution yet. it wil be the solution once we process
a lot of volume. atm the soluition is to queue.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk can always jus get an exception ; always
a great idea to only ask for exceptions when you need them
mircea_popescu: in general the 60 minutes of
a block would currently take
a maximum of 720 deeds at that rate. unless we're actually processing 500...
MolokoDesk: gribble bans anyone for 5 minutes if they make more than 12 requests in
a 60 second interval. that probably happened while deedBot wasn't voice.
MolokoDesk: I'm retaining the microsecond timestamps of gribble requests and their fulfillment so... I can implement
a timeout reset if gribble dies.
MolokoDesk: there can be issues if gribble dies in the middle of
a transaction
MolokoDesk: it makes sure I'm really computing the hash address properly. If I verify that myself, and I'm making
a mistake, I'll just be making the same mistake in the verifier.
punkman: but I'll write
a verifier for the deeds
MolokoDesk: it should have gotten the raw from the unraw pastebin link. there's
a special for that.
mircea_popescu: i have been derping for long enough about how reform in the modern state shoudl consist of
a fixed number of characters for all laws, and if you want
a new one must erase an old one.
assbot: Eulora may have
a release when the goalposts stop moving! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNAT - Pastebin.com

a release when the goalposts stop moving! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNAT - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: actually, not just fine. it's
a requirement post facto. MolokoDesk discard anything in the url past the 64kb.
mircea_popescu: if people have mbs to do, let them do
a cert and insert the cert.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk : can all the data published on webpage be bundled say daily into
a tar and linked somewhere for dld ?
MolokoDesk: there maybe ram limits to filesize.
a 1 gig file can overflow the php address space.
kakobrekla:
a little discrimination never hurt anybody
mircea_popescu: dignork ppl on mpex ocasionally have this issue. the other approach is to mark
a key as default.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk maybe with
a later upgrade. atm not useful or wanted.
MolokoDesk: if
a bunch of people have cryposigned it. I'm counting the signatures.
punkman: MolokoDesk: when does
a deed have 2 signatories?
mircea_popescu: punkman wait is this
a concurrent implementation or what ?!
MolokoDesk: are there cases where someone who should have access to deeds has
a negative rating relative to assbot and assbotdirects?
mircea_popescu: the case where assbot trusts someone the broader b-
a does not is quite the failure mode anyway.
mircea_popescu:
a) l2 = 1 should be enough ; b) l1 = 1 and l2 = 0 is stil valid.
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick> as
a GPG key ID.
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick> as
a GPG key ID.
mircea_popescu: you get
a tx id once you make the payment, that's invariant, use it.
MolokoDesk: ok. we need
a definition of what the absolute location of
a block is.
MolokoDesk: and when the blockheight confirm comes in it's changed to 34234-1BITCOINADDRESS.txt and published to
a web-accessible directory
chetty: mircea_popescu, not sure about their land stuff, some little I saw did look
a bit Gaults Gulchy but guy does make some decent observations about Argentina in general
MolokoDesk: it has funds, ragnar put in the latest tranche, I put in the first tranche.
a few bucks.
dignork: mircea_popescu: some fido period reference, i didn't have
a computer then
mircea_popescu: jesus everyone's been busy on
a friday night! how am i to have
a lyf with you peoples!
mircea_popescu: dignork: they do have something commercial, but I did not look too close <<< then people wonder why there's
a bubble. why hello sir, when people can't be bothered with even looking at the "products" their name is so bad, i suspek perhaps it may be the case there's going to be problems achieving cashflow. just
a hunch.
mircea_popescu: dub: get back to me when you've stood in
a cold noisy DC on
a con call to mumbai for 15 hours <<< virgin after her first time : "hey, fucking is kinda fun!" old whore : "get back to me after you've had to clean two dozen sailor pricks honey"
mircea_popescu: once this support seeking habit forms, overwhelming it is nigh on impossible, and in any case overwhelming it would require the one thing that its existence prevents :
a working mind.
mircea_popescu: if you learn japanese when you're 1 yo, you're
a native speaker. if you don't, you might be able to learn some semblance later on, but for most people it'll never happen, and for
a tiny minority it will still overwhelmingly never be as good.
mircea_popescu: the problem being, of course, that once this fork has been passed there's no way back. there isn't
a phase transition from manchild seeking support from reality to adult. there's just
a choice, at
a narrow band of time during preadolescence somewhere.
MolokoDesk: this is more like
a xerox machine that signs in blood.
MolokoDesk: I wouldn't run
a trading exchange without an incoming queue.
MolokoDesk: or someone writes
a bot to spew
a few deeds they have laying around.
MolokoDesk: if someone sets the expiration time on
a pastebin to 1 minute that might not be so swell. Nobody should do that though.
MolokoDesk: the obvious solution is to put the pastebin tokens into
a queue and handle them one at
a time regardless of how fast they come in.
MolokoDesk: I think if it's in the process of waiting for gribble and you dump another incoming deed bundle, the unbundler is asynchronous and can stomp on the chain of gribble dialogs and force
a new one to start.
MolokoDesk: or
a refractory period where it rejects
a barrage of fast deed requests.
MolokoDesk: I wonder if you created
a collision with two deeds that close together.
MolokoDesk: just wanted to check something: that you can't set the main channel to
a nick.
MolokoDesk: the cuckoo clock announcement at the top of the hour... I'll turn that off now. and reload the bot. if nobody's waiting for
a bundle to track to the blockchain.
MolokoDesk: this is verbose deedBot. nothing but
a terse summary of what it decided about the contract in your pastebin bundle at the beginning, and an announcement of where it publishes the hourly bundles will show eventually/soon/next
MolokoDesk: I use php
a lot though, as
a sketchpad language for rapid prototyping. it lets one do
a lot without thinking about the details.
assbot: PHP:
a fractal of baddesign / fuzzy notepad
bounce: two things I dislike about sqlite really. its lack of type checking, and it having become
a bit of
a hype,
a "must have" in certain circles.
MolokoDesk: there's relative awful and absolute awful. Absolute awful would be something that does
a join using
a loop and
a bunch of separate lookups. You'll see people who use declarative languages and aren't aware of the judo available in SQL. They often have no idea what the computer is actually doing, just what the language constructs accomplish in terms of final output.
