nubbins`: kakobrekla: apparently it's an indicator of how many pulls through a drawing die
Vexual: i like how the fbi made a neat little bounce
kakobrekla: maybe a wire and two girls.
nubbins`: i thought it was two cups and a girl
mircea_popescu: i thought it was two cups and a wire
mircea_popescu: "Do I still think Bitcoin will succeed in the long run? Yes, but I'm a lot less sure of it than I used to be."
mircea_popescu: i have a bucket o gas.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> provide a way for cars to fly through the air with minimal time even with only a two-stroke lawnmower engine << i know right ? i will sell half my gasoline unless this happens.
fluffypony: that's what I'd pay to courier a parcel like that to Canada with Aramex
nubbins`: fluffypony, yep. canada is a notoriously expensive place to mail things from
nubbins`: provide a way for cars to fly through the air with minimal time even with only a two-stroke lawnmower engine
mircea_popescu: why not get rid of airplanes while at it, they spread germs, are a threat to diversity and make it really easy for assholes like mp (or genius chinese kids) to fly to retarded backwater places (like the us) and just take over
mircea_popescu: "1) Eliminate pools. 2) Provide a way for miners to solo-mine with low varience and frequent mining payouts even with only small amounts of hashing power. 3) Get rid of ASICs." mkay todd is off another planet.
mircea_popescu: lol the us should ban good cheese. the stuff they call cheese is a disgrace to the name, best just painlessly divorce.
Mats_cd03: zek is a word for an enslaved man in gulag or what have you
mircea_popescu: davout: how would one detect a block witholding attack on a pool ? << which kind ?
fluffypony: apparently you weren't voiced for a while
fluffypony: [2014-06-13T06:39:35+0200] <mircea_popescu> what's a zek ?
kakobrekla: so what brings you manamex , you only got a 30 min block might as well use it
mircea_popescu: punkman: do I have to put them up to my ear and tap them? << if you can't hear the tap without putting it to your ear it's not a good one anyway
mircea_popescu: "Professor Chelnov, an old mathematician arrested seventeen years ago and who, when he had to fill in a form" << why the fuck'd anyone fill a form already.
gribble: Error: "coffee" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: lol that's a point
mircea_popescu: worse is a superlative and for that reason incomparable.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced: Big day for me, living la vida crypto. Thanks all. Going afk for a while. << that was lulzy lol. like kid with new xmas train.
kakobrekla: lost 65%, its a longterm win.
pankkake: ;;rate petertodd -1 does not understand bitcoin yet claims to be a developer http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/281ftd/why_i_just_sold_50_of_my_bitcoins_ghashio/
pankkake: "It will always be cheaper to run a small amount of hashing power than a large amount" wat
pankkake: 31 commits of little fixes. by that count, I'm a developer in hundreds of projects
fluffypony: pankkake: sure, but the automative industry has a long-standing history of patent-trolling
pankkake: fluffypony: it's not that novel though, plenty of companies do it. they patent things as a defensive measure
fluffypony: that's a change
kakobrekla: what a commercial.
kakobrekla: You were giving a lot of credit to Garrett by playing the clown/troll.
fluffypony: xmj: ok awesome - also see if there's a place that does tailored shirts as well, need to pick a few up
davout: how would one detect a block witholding attack on a pool ?
assbot: Starting a new FPGA mining farm/contract! Cognitive Resurrected on[Havelock]

punkman: I made a couple tarts, still too many left
jurov: make a jam or w/e
jurov: yes, some ppl don't have a clue to ask
fluffypony: altcoins are getting really desperate to find a hook: http://i.imgur.com/BRQ7rKl.png
punkman: jurov, don't they get stuck with a bunch of mediocre watermelons then? or do they sell them to the next sucker
punkman: why is it so hard to find a decent watermelon
decimation: I'm pretty sure that's a crap translation though
decimation: here's a 'link' http://klassix.net/keith/Kindle%20Backup%202-20-11/documents/First%20Circle,%20The%20-%20Alexander%20Solzhenitsyn.txt
decimation: asciilifeform my favorite quote from "the first circle": "A familiar figure in many prison research establishments, Professor Chelnov, an old mathematician arrested seventeen years ago and who, when he had to fill in a form, put down his nationality not as 'Russian' but as 'zek', had applied his mind to many inventions, from the direct flow boiler to the jet engine, and had put his heart and soul into several of them."
unbalanced: Big day for me, living la vida crypto. Thanks all. Going afk for a while.
unbalanced: ;;rate asciilifeform 1 Almost paranoid enough... almost. I learn a ton from him.
mike_c: he's not a merchant, he's a market maker. i'm sure the diff changes are great for him.
unbalanced: I suspect BingoBoingo was the hash raider. Just a theory. No judgment.
unbalanced: See this here is more chat activity than #altcoin gets in a day. Come on over people!
unbalanced: Purely routine. Just a test. No, no need to read the fine print. Just sign here.
mircea_popescu: i really don't see th econcern. if anything, slow txn are good for a coin, they keep the people in a hurry at bay
unbalanced: Yes, I guess a tslb of >1hr only matters if the coin is moving around more than once an hour. Or day.
mircea_popescu: mike_c haven't heard from the satoshijack dude in a long time
mike_c: it's like we have discussed before. it affects merchants. it's not as easy to move coin around. this makes little difference for the occasional user, but 1 hour block time on average means sometimes 2+ hours for a block.
unbalanced: thestringpuller, by "dump" mike_c meant a pastebin link somewhere above, detailing how to use leaserig.net to employ mining rigs on demand.
unbalanced: The diff is still unfolding so I don't have a final number yet. I haven't wanted to calculate it or I might stop.
mike_c: having a block an hour does not feel optimal.
thestringpuller: seems fun, like a glimpse in the past...
mike_c: well, it seems like a good thing to try to me.
unbalanced: But really, "easily" is a relative term so this may be a fool's errand.
unbalanced: ;;rate Apocalyptic 1 Runs x-bt.com, a solid little exchange, and my money has not disappeared.
mircea_popescu: what's a zek ?
decimation: I'm just a zek, trying to scrape by in the world
unbalanced: Or should I not be rating people I've only communicated with for a couple of hours now?
asciilifeform: ideally you would have some means for linearly pissing state out to a cheap disk
asciilifeform: only the circuit that marshalls state from the independent modules (e.g. keyboard buffer) to magnetic storage needs to know that it's a disk, and comes in 0...N 'LBA' blocks, etc.
asciilifeform: the brain-damage of the 'address space' concept is inescapable on a von neumann arch
asciilifeform: just as you presently cannot dereference a pointer to your disk's sram cache
asciilifeform: that is, there is no reason why, say, garbage collector circuit (yes) needs to be able to request a byte from my keyboard buffer.
decimation: if you had such a beast, you just peek and poke at its inputs/outputs, it wouldn't really have an address space
decimation: ascii I imagine your dataflow machine as a collection of various calculating state machines, called into existence for various purposes when needed
mircea_popescu: even the most accomplished anal insertion artist, who can take ANYTHING would not survive a parachute-less parachute fall
justusranvier: There could be dedicated areas in the memory space that could be hardware wiped, and operations resumed from a hardcoded address. That would be like a reboot.
asciilifeform: decimation: you must really think about this to understand the implications. a single-address space machine must... actually work. every time - because it can in no sense be rebooted.
asciilifeform: hp-ux is a bog-standard (archaic) unix
decimation: indeed a static global address space that is persistant and usable would be a reasonable project
assbot: With 'The Machine,' HP May Have Invented a New Kind of Computer - Businessweek
decimation: also this: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-06-11/with-the-machine-hp-may-have-invented-a-new-kind-of-computer
asciilifeform: 'We maintain a fleet of self-healing, auto-scaling Bitcoind nodes.' << will they chew your food for you, too ?
benkay: if chax comes by razz him a bit for me, he's from chain.com
unbalanced: Right, this is all just text, it's just potentially a ton of really-hard-to-read text if you get it mixed up.
BingoBoingo: unbalanced: Well, there's a bunch of other keyservers as well.
BingoBoingo: The reason I didn't recommend Seahorse is it is a pain. Geany has a spell checker at least.
unbalanced: It's not clear to me exactly WTF I sync'd with in Seahorse or where I put my public key. Do you see it somewhere Bingo to send a return message I could try to read?
assbot: Signature Thursday: Geany a GUI text editor for GPG tasks | Bingo Blog
unbalanced: Clarification, Bingo's posts led me to Geany for message signing, not to Seahorse. http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2013/10/31/signature-thursday-geany-a-gui-text-editor-for-gpg-tasks/
unbalanced: BingoBoingo, check yer email, I may or may not have sent you a secret message.
mircea_popescu: If cheating can be easily detected and reversed, then maybe it’s no longer essential to prevent it at all costs and you can build it with a more palatable set of trade offs. << in fact, there's a reason business has since forever run on "eventually correct" bookkeeping
