mircea_popescu: i walked 18 of the past 48 hours.
pankkake: I now walk 1 hour a day, used to be 0, spent half my day in bed for months
decimation: I suspect that Argentinian beef is more likely to be raised free-range than on a feedlot, but I could be wrong
pankkake: I eat paleo, I just wondered why the link from 2006 apparently
decimation: Hey I'm not saying that you have to eat paleo. But all things being equal, it's probably better to eat a cow who ate grass instead of one who was fed grain in a cage
mircea_popescu: anyway, im definitely staying, everyone start saving for next year's conference. i got the hotel, it's a pleasure. you're all getting apartments even! and superb restaurants and everything.

assbot: Ahaha funniest shit I saw all week. Hey noobster, /hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash IS ALL ABOUT PRIVILEGE. /aantonop @30somethingST Examine your privilege
fluffypony: "I run the 8th largest magazine in the world"
mircea_popescu: i see where you're comin' from
fluffypony: if he was just innocent and everything was all hunkery-dorkery I would chuckle at the Sekrit Ajint thing and move on
benkay: <mircea_popescu> fluffypony: Electrum server isn't SPV. it's SPV-like <<< ahahaha this has just summarized the mental capacity of bitcoin coder ppls. yes, exactly. the code isn't working, it's working-like. // i wept
fluffypony: punkman: if it was a scammer, I'd put his info up on the interwebs without hesitation. This guy is borderline, so he gets borderline dox.
decimation: asciilifeform, I have friends in PG county who had nearly the same thing happen to them - tree roots in the sewer line. It was in one of the "Levittown" areas built out in the 60's
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: office has all the opsec of a chicken coop << funnily, i live a few km from a masterfully camouflaged, unregistered chicken coop.
fluffypony: and even if I did
fluffypony: I don't live in the USA
fluffypony: indeed - I believe he even has a nail technicians license or something
fluffypony: but for a while I was tempted to reply:
fluffypony: I told the support staff to just close the ticket
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i'll stay a little.
mircea_popescu: i don't intend to be buried here if that\s what you mean
Naphex: been having a very nasty cold since friday, i'm mostly zombie mode
mircea_popescu: benkay: if i have to run bitcoind anyways why the fuck not just run bitcoind and take a dep on the whole fuckoff blockchain? << quite.
pankkake: I mean specifiying the passphrase on the command line. gets in process list, in shell history, etc.
mircea_popescu: and then bitcointalk is the place to do that. i suppose this guy goes around in a toga because nobody told him the roman empire fell i nthe meanwhile.
poutine: It'd be quite easy to dump data into btc. I'm sure it'd piss off a lot of people though (namely everyone with the blockchain), but you could embed wikileaks into the blockchain through redeemable transactions
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid: dignork: I find it hard to conceive of a business that can't think of expansion . << efficiency of capial deployment is the issue. read buffett\s letters to investors, he covers it in detail
poutine: in any event, it is fun to play with custom transactions, I'm surprised there's only been 1661 of them according to webbtc.com
pankkake: I usually stop reading at "here to stay"
poutine: mircea_popescu, yeah I would agree with you
thestringpuller: "Considering the points above I believe that Bitcoin stocks are here to stay. The key to success here would be the issuers screening and preemptive measures against fraudulent players. Serious and responsible project can be successful here, and most probably relatively unperturbed by regulators. Centralized exchanges should have a crucial role, since decentralized ones cannot probably achieve high level of protec
poutine: The miner situation I think is obvious, a miner could definitely redirect the output with little effort, and nobody to punish him for it, but wouldn't the above situation simply be covered by the timestamping server, and currently by the fact there's only one mining pool that accepts these transactions, and they do not allow double spends in their memory pool?
poutine: punkman, Ok so if I was making the move e4, and my player secret was foo, and an acceptable redemption scriptSig is hash256('fooe4'). When I submit my redemption, you're saying someone else would see it in the mempool, and submit it to a different mempool with the redemption going to a different address?
pankkake: but I strip them now
poutine: I should say it'd be cost prohibitive at this point
poutine: Ok I should not make the claim that an unsigned transaction cannot be forged
mircea_popescu: yeah i see. thing is... why'd you want to play it this way rather than the normal way ?
poutine: Ok well I can do tic tac toe on the blockchain, let me write it up
mircea_popescu: ok now I don't know if I follow
poutine: mircea_popescu, Hmm I'm not sure I understand, the way I'd see it is if it were chess, all possible moves would be an acceptable redemption for the tx, like pawn to e4 would be a redemption, Qxe5, etc. That way the game could be followed just by following the blockchain for the tx
poutine: I can make a tx where there's 24 potential scriptSigs that will redeem it
mircea_popescu: punkman: MP goes away, the logs dry up, for shame << i dunno dood, I've been working to catch up for three days. in between picking up hawt brazilian chicks in the street and shoveling steaks
poutine: thestringpuller, Well you have a 201 opcode limit, 1000 stack size limit, and a 10000 byte tx limit, I need 8 opcodes per comparison, so as long as there's 24 possible moves or less it can be played on the blockchain
gribble: mike_c was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 4 days, 20 hours, 20 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <mike_c> more like "humans" freak out when they don't understand something. when people ask me about why the market moved I give them the time-tested answer: God.
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/0TRfa2l.png
gribble: I have not seen wdunne.
mircea_popescu: i didn't get the mpif example.
mircea_popescu: benkay, yea i noted you came around :p
poutine: I followed the instructions for a regular transaction, but instead of the normal pay to pubkey/scripthash, I just put in my own script
poutine: thestringpuller, I use bitcoinjs-lib
poutine: http://webbtc.com/scripts/unknown <- is a good place for finding weird transactions, and where I found the one someone from here made
poutine: punkman, Well I redeemed that one, if you click the spent output: https://blockchain.info/tx-index/57230279 and then run the input script through xxd -p -r, you get
poutine: was seeing if there were any loose transactions on the blockchain I could claim with a little bit of brainpower
poutine: https://blockchain.info/tx-index/57225697/0 <- I made this redeemable multi choice puzzle transaction w/ embedded message yesterday
poutine: pankkake, I make custom txes, and was going through some strange transactions and saw it
poutine: Hi I saw this tx on mainnet: https://blockchain.info/tx/2bb7e8720356f79a9005488a529ab12d6f516879b2357224204cb5f2b780fd02
punkman: the guy that lost 50btc on jd: <pippin> At least I have a reason to try at school now lol, any delusions of being rich just went out the window.
fluffypony: the way I read his post was: "if you feel like pissing your money into the toilet, please use my toilet. Personally, I don't think pissing money into a toilet is a good idea. I don't piss money into the toilet much."
pankkake: eh "For me, the pain of losing is so much stronger than the joy of winning that I mostly don't play."
pankkake: I haven't seen any casino owner try to dissuade gamblers as much as dooglus
fluffypony: dooglus: for what it's worth, I think they're utterly moronic, they're reacting as if they didn't read the second part of your comment
assbot: dooglus comments on I'm finally out of the red
benkay: <mircea_popescu> benkay:HeySteve: nonsense. << it's not nonsense in any way. naked shorts are the instrument of evil. women should be always naked, shorts always covered. the us is doing it exaclty backwards. << you'll note i came around eventually.
benkay: <BingoBoingo> mircea_popescu: I'm not sure if they are the worst... Databases suck pretty bad. // let me tell you about this magical closed source database i own...
benkay: <mircea_popescu> obtw, speaking of steak. i had some fucking INCREDIBLE steaks these past two days. i am fucking humbled, you can not begin to imagine the steaks in this fucking town. omfg. << told you.
decimation: I stopped to watch at Farragut Square park, which is full of bums. The bums all gathered on the street to watch the procession. First, came 50 or so so policemen riding on Harleys. Next, a sad mob of a few hundred youths protesting the "prision state"
decimation: True story: once I was walking along a street in Washington, DC during some dumbass WTO protest or something
fluffypony: jurov: I favoured the lesser fool in that instance
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and you two as well as anyone interested is invited to a full debate of this matter, to take place starting 8pm today << buddha, i'll be there. that is, here.
fluffypony: I lose track
jurov: "Available here https://bitcoinbourse.eu/ ticker DUN" oooohh how did i miss this?

pankkake: I feel like the "working poor" is getting more common thanks to the taxfare state
bitcoinpete: i mean, you live there and i live in the hottest economy on the continent, so feel free to correct me
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu:these people, seriously. "o i am great and wonderful give me stuff". what in the living fuck. << es el socialismo
pankkake: or what I could get by selling those usb erupters
pankkake: I wonder if I'll ever squeeze in a block
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't own or drive one
asciilifeform: as i understand, all the down-sides of a normal auto and motorcycle in one package.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ask an engineer, what do i know :D
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: almost certainly same reason as the various folks i know in this position - term of art, i think, is 'underwater'
fluffypony: ah at 1am I am definitely going to be drunkish or asleep
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: i would've thought he was the exact opposite << this, incidentally, is how you know you've buddha'd. various people reading your stuff come to exactly opposite conclusions on fundamental topics such as "what is the purpose of meaning"
mircea_popescu: princessnell: not exactly keep living, but maximize probability of the highest possible degree of genetic transmission. but you get my drift. << iget your drift, i just don't perceive any substance to it. can you prove your purpose is more to convey your own genetic material than to convey the genetic material of the e coli you're very comfortably keeping at a pleasant temperature deep inside, and strive to keep well
mircea_popescu: lol i c. so what did htey test, the secretaries' lower piping ?
