pankkake: wow, venezuela is scary.
I fear it's the future of France :(
mircea_popescu: you'll have to take me slowly, my forum reports stopped coming in.
i have no fucking idea.
jurov: BingoBoingo: thx,
I realized
I can click the (Github) on their plugin page
nubbins`:
i'm going to suggest charcoal grey instead of black
nubbins`: man.
i've been trying to order medium black organic t-shirts for like a fuckin month
moiety: it the only flight you can get
i think nubbins` lol (to london)
moiety: BingoBoingo:
i think this is worth a trip to london
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I dunno that the russians need one/lack the discipline to conceal their involvement
moiety: what an epic day!
I can think straight again! *getting to keep my house a wee bit longer!
ThickAsThieves: is it an idiot trap?
i mean all you do is say "is that an order?" "am
i free to leave?" and that's it rigght?
ThickAsThieves: last night, driving home,
i see these large flashy signs saying "NARCOTICS CHECKPOINT"
mircea_popescu: antephialtic and
i agree with you[r unstated point] that they're too young yet to have shown they suck,
antephialtic: but
I do agree with you that conformal giving them some competition is a boon.
I hope btcd becomes a fully viable alternative
ThickAsThieves:
i concur,
i feel like they trailblazing in the dark toward a cliff
BingoBoingo:
I dunno that easy ECDSA multisig is a feature and not a "feature"
antephialtic:
I disagree, P2SH is actually a big improvement in security by making multisig not a huge bitch to use
antephialtic: mircea_popescu:
I respect you. But
I don't see you committing patches and fixing bugs. It's dirty work, but somebody has to do it.
mircea_popescu:
i know, the circlejerk that is the pretend-core likes to convice themselves they're needed because they're stupid.
truffles:
i like how theyre like 3 topics ongoing heh
truffles: TAT
i think it will achieve what u want better imo :)
VanCleef: its just my humble opinion,
i dont trust bitpay
BingoBoingo:
I dunno how
I feel about Bitpay promoting some node.js BBQ stuff they's been pimping
mircea_popescu: this, actually,
i propose as quite an illustrative 10k words summary of -assets
ThickAsThieves: thinking out loud, so sorry if this sucks, but
i was also wondering whether having scheduled debate/topic events in channel would be cool
ThickAsThieves: well, to be candid, and
i love you guys, but right now our blog army is mostly preachers to the same choir
ThickAsThieves:
i'd like to see a blog that consistently tackled the topics that make people like us most uncomfortable
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i dun think that was such a bad call myself.
ThickAsThieves:
i think there that danger must exist in bitcoin somewhere
truffles: somehow
i had forgotten to bookmark
ThickAsThieves: and despite its elegance,
i'm not sure bitcoin can avoid this
ThickAsThieves: what
i mean is, by my own understanding so far, it seems all things centralize over time. in the context of human civilization this is seen quite obviously in, probably, all things observable
mircea_popescu:
i dunno about that. ideally we dun pour effort into dirt
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
i suppose, depending on what exactly ou mean by that.
ThickAsThieves:
i can buy it, except for that all history and all things in the universe say otherwise
ThickAsThieves:
i'm basically trying to make a case for mining diversification
mircea_popescu:
i can't discuss the impossible tho, because anything can be logically derived from nonsense.
ThickAsThieves:
i mean
i hear you, but this isnt quite about what
i think or know, so much as what "is"
mircea_popescu:
i am saying that a) it cannot happen and b) this irrespective of what you know or don't know.
mircea_popescu: remember how
i told tg2 to stfu yest, because it's not HIS job to tell the exchanges how to exchange ? it's not.
mircea_popescu:
i want this, because a mine is a physical thing, it needs proxying.
mircea_popescu: if
i own 1petahash worth of mining gear, and we have a deal that you claim to own 1petahash worth of mining, we can work it so no third party can ever discover this.
mircea_popescu: or not really accident, more like the interplay of will and understanding, as limited by reality -
i demonstrated this once in here using asciilifeform as my victim)
ThickAsThieves:
i understand that much, but the mining ecosystem is its own thing
ThickAsThieves:
i feel like if the US is gonna tax it, they should support it
mircea_popescu:
i personally possibly not. it's just not one of my strenghts.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
i said government had, a couple months after they had started, a few months ago.
moiety: spider-cats?
i have two
moiety:
i thought .. hmm right then at the 21 y/o thai wife
mircea_popescu:
i'm personally only quoting the italians, as all old women
i know are actually pretty great
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Cryptostocks is old, but
I guess Crytostocks was the first 3rd gen chumpotron of this sort
BingoBoingo:
I dunno that they even seem to put in the effort in developing chumptronics to fall into the GLBSE/BTC-TC/Buttfunder camp
BingoBoingo: Imma bout to get hit with a squall line in about 5-15 minutes. If
I'm offline a while it is because assholes decide above ground power and internet are great in a area with trees and frequent wind storms
moiety:
i missed the 3d printing talk D:
punkman: "
I kid you not that is what they said to me.
I asked them if they thought
I was on day release from a special needs school. They did not laugh."
punkman: "years ago when
I visited the City Police anti-money laundering division in the City of London who told me with absolutely straight faces that despite London being the centre of international banking, not a single penny of laundered or drug money entered the City banks."
davout: how do
i get the bid/ask?
antephialtic:
I mean if we think the NSA is some all knowing crypto monster, what's to say they can't break SHA-256? They are the ones that invented it, after all
antephialtic: right now its a lot clunkier than using normal GPG signatures, but if the trezor becomes widespread,
I could see people improving the tooling
antephialtic: if they become popular,
I could see people using signing addresses a lot more
BingoBoingo:
I can't answer for him, but the use cases seem completely different
bounce: hope so.
I'd like a keyboard without touchpad and with trackpoint. even so you get the usual crappy layout with too many and too small keys
punkman:
I think this is enough 3d printing talk for #b-a for the next few months
