mircea_popescu: yes, property is functionally
as well
as fundamentally "this is mine which means it's not yours nor yours nor yours nor - i see you there hiding in the back, yours either!"
mircea_popescu: still, none of this solves the fundamental problem, which is :
as more and more people get involved, the cost of reporting each transaction to everyone else balloons.
davout: i make pretty much all of my txes by hand and fragmentation is something i try to avoid
as much
as possibru
mircea_popescu: depends on factors and things but
as degree of magnitude it's there.
mircea_popescu: anyway. war in this sense,
as in napoleon invading, is a loss of information. ie, library burning.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
as they progress so does the bitcoin fragment.
mircea_popescu:
as time wears on, more and more tinier and tinier bits of coin carry irreducible meaning, and can't be defragged
mircea_popescu: all coins, in the sense of agglomerations of satoshi, exist
as descendents of an original block subsidy, and in that sense ARE coinbases ; much like electrons or photons are wave functions. they manifest verifiably in certain points,
as "unspent transaction outputs" ; muych like waveform collapses. they interact with matter, in certain ways,this is called a transaction.
ben_vulpes: "coinbases" in this post means something rather different from what i've come to know them
as eg the block subsidy

http://archive.is/8G35m >> 'O’Grady was mistakenly identified this week
as a Secret Service agent (also named Kerry O’Grady) who is under investigation for posting a statement on Facebook that appeared to indicate she preferred jail over being shot and killed for President Trump.'
ben_vulpes: yes well i may
as well just scrape btcbase at that point asciilifeform
Framedragger: bouncer is actually quite nice,
as phf said; that's what he had before, he wanted db for xrefs etc
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i can scrape btcbase
as well
as the next feller.
davout: ben_vulpes: but even if separate binary i see this more
as a "reference wallet" in the same way the "reference miner" demonstrates what a miner does, but isn't actually used by anyone professionnally issuing transactions
ben_vulpes: davout: what /currently/ compiles
as the single binary "trb"
davout: ben_vulpes: can compile
as separate binaries
ben_vulpes: i am still not sold on moving the wallet outside of what compiles
as "trb"
trinque: guy was using the sign-message
as an example for a smaller cut than the wallet
davout: asciilifeform: well, maybe for forensic purpose you want to open up an accounts-enabled legacy wallet? i don't know, sounds equally likely
as "want to check signature some derp made in weird ways during ancient times"
trinque: "nothing but this particular arrangement of driftwood counts
as actual reference trb"
thestringpuller: is there a way to scrape the UTXO set in TRB or do you have to do that manually
as of now?
davout: asciilifeform: can use same openssl
as trb
mircea_popescu: the shedding of 500k federal jobs in dc is underway, by the way. people are making financial arrangements, such
as getting out of mortgages.
mircea_popescu: let the job of merging be done later, that's the idea. eventually
as the chains get long and review has progressed significantly, people can rebase multiple patches into one.
davout: mostly
as an exercise in vtronics
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 22:42 asciilifeform: 'There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA
as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because...
trinque: asciilifeform: I would say my view of former USSR is
as cartoonish
as your present view of certain parts of north america you apparently haven't spent time in
mircea_popescu: and the alternative here, ie, "federation",
as in weimar republic exacrtly is strictly non workable because endothermic. and there's no heat to be had. not no mo.
mircea_popescu: the ideology is still there, just
as recoverable today
as it was in lincoln's day.
mircea_popescu: they don't know it yet, but they're
as dead
as polish jews.
mircea_popescu: the louder if useless city kids don't have it, but what they have or don't have is irrelevant - anyone with a social media profile is dead
as of last week
ben_vulpes: gonna hear the same wail in re the fda
as well, with the same response. "they fed us meth under doctors orders. kill them all."
trinque: why do you think the EPA is being gutted
as we speak?
ben_vulpes: put ten through get one out. almost
as good for the body politic
as war proper.
mircea_popescu: random 20yo piucked off the street thinks it's his option
as to whether he works oil rig or not.
ben_vulpes: the performance-art-masquerading-
as-commentary is growing shriller and less amusing by the day.
ben_vulpes: this repositing every single thing that happens
as a direct result of the great inca in america is downright tiring. inca gives zero shits about this corner of its empire, leaves us to fend for ourselves.
mircea_popescu: this isn't so much a problem,
as hardware also has no future.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
as the basis grows there's going to be a lot more such cross-verification.
mircea_popescu: that's kinda where all this is going
as far
as i can see.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 17:00 mircea_popescu: yes, but you're also not the end all be all of dealing with idiots. the implication, evident
as it may be, being that i'm his mommy and i should care about his welfare and his choice to lead with the wrong fucking thing is somehow my problem and oh aren't we all sorry that we're missing out on adlai not being dogfood.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider the "from the sewers" spain discussion. yes,
as desirable
as ebola virus. keeps the
mircea_popescu: even so.
as any half competent mobster can tell you, by the time you're targeted for theft your organsiation's been utter shit for a while.
mircea_popescu: thief is,
as our russki friend points out, only out to do crime to us for goods he could get other place.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an age-based thing. younguns tend to try it out because thye need to because they suck ;
as they stop sucking they stop needing to and adult identity is born. nothing wrong with any part of this.
mircea_popescu: which is how you end up with an operating room : a neat place with few nooks and crannies where only surgeons (
as opposed to mice ; cockroaches ; bacteria) are allowed access.
as a result, no shit hiding in corners.
mircea_popescu: underlined
as such in the wot article too. that's the important point : wot works WITHOUT the person being examined.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how much of this is habit. consider for a second the case of the nickname dude, who is currently having a meltdown in my comment section on the apparent expectation that i somehow care what he said and i read the various comments
as comming ~from the same one guy~. he actually thinks this ; actually expects me to allocate INDIVIDUALITY on the basis of anonymous. it's almost
as if i were to wake up every morning and on
a111: Logged on 2015-08-05 13:38 mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her
as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
trinque: ahaha, I was searching for it, got alf just now
as first result
Framedragger: i'm sorry but that's false equivalence. EC crypto is used in timestamping service which is used for actual business transactions. not
as trivial
as dead passive animal under house
