mircea_popescu: ie, most infrastructure nodes i know of work on SOME SORT ofload balancing or othewr, necessarily thus exposing variable ips to the world etc.
mircea_popescu: mike_c the notion of "counting nodes" is bizarre in the first place.
mircea_popescu: and amusingly they think it's some pop rock of the 70s.
mircea_popescu: they change the words. but the song fprever the same. no matter what happens. this is the song.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the competition is called "mp said the nodes are the weakest point of bitcoin, bitcoin ppls are fixing it"

mircea_popescu: mp lights cigarette, cab turns in immediately, mp is revered as god by the kid in question.)
mircea_popescu: (me last year, waiting for cab with dude in timisoara. cab kinda late. me : "check it out, i'ma light a cigarette and by the magical magic of smoking, it'll show up immediately.
mircea_popescu: i think you may have a genetic explanation of intelligence there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but there isn't a box in the windoze to input that purpose.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the ancient discussion re "what if nsa held a bunch of btc" ?
mircea_popescu: there's no lever to toggle from enemy to friend or w/e.
mircea_popescu: the only option agents have is whether to exist or not exist.
mircea_popescu: there literally is no enemy. there can't be. bitcoin is agnostic in this sense.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> did you solve the clock, does it need time sync at all? << REAL CLOCKS KEEP THEIR OWN TIME!
mircea_popescu: that's a completely sufficient solution here, lettuce move on.
mircea_popescu: just forget it, srsly. seed list can live on hdd with blockchain if the notion of hardcoded magic ip numbers makes you retch
mircea_popescu: dude keeps exposing himself to these cardano by xmas type of things. why all the self hate yo!
mircea_popescu: i am however saying that no one here can implement it in zero time.
mircea_popescu: i'm in no case saying that w/e, any one in b-a *couldn't * correctly implement what alf is proposing./
mircea_popescu: it's just more hard work to read the shit. which is work. which we don't fucking hasve the time for.
mircea_popescu: they ARE making political parties and getting various lawmaker seats because of it.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron the (actually sound) argument is that they won't be 20 forever, we're eating up a bubble of externalised cost.
mircea_popescu: you know, like industry works since fortever. not like ford mondeo got recalled because hey, they got ford fluence out, so they'll conver them
mircea_popescu: and if you want to change, derp. change the production flux.
mircea_popescu: i propose whoever makes one puts w/e the fuck they want in there and that's that for the damned unit in question
mircea_popescu: (and before anyone goes "how could we implement signature checking incorrectly", this was discussed mere days ago. === "no errors found" or what was it)
mircea_popescu: "this thing breaks iof there's a bug found in gpg. or if we didn't implement signature checking correctly. or or or or"
mircea_popescu: in any case, the "this thing breaks if it runs out of power at any point after the enemy (or more likely plain old rust) has destroyedall seed ips" proposition is better value than
mircea_popescu: in general. not when you're signalling how to get the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: it breaks if you turn it off && fort meade floats in the air above your house.
mircea_popescu: "dude that zergling's broken" "mmkay" "aren't you going to repair it ?" "wut ?! *click* *click* *click* *click* *click*"
mircea_popescu: this is hopw the problem is solved in this space : buy more units.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` onoes, you ruined 20 bux worht of old gear (plus shipping and handling!)
mircea_popescu: (im kinda nonplussed that nobody even seems to realise seed list is only interesting on boot and these aren't intended to ever reboot, really.)
mircea_popescu passes out "you suck at system design" dounce hats liberally.
mircea_popescu: you're trying to jump a fence by crawling on your back.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` if it's not narrower just make it the seed list. bam back to square one.
mircea_popescu: iirc you were asking for a complex update gpg signature thing. not for a simple "move x text file from /sda to /sdb"
mircea_popescu: ascii_field seemed to me you're asking for an entirely something erlse, but anyway
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you're so absolutely convinced, how about seedlist is a config file sits with blockchain on disk ?
