mircea_popescu: the hard problems of bitcoin are still untouched since six yyears ago when satoshi saw them and ran screaming.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the fucktards are busy "innovating" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not only that. the txn making is dust-agnostic. instead of optimizing to not create too small chunks, it just does whatever.
mircea_popescu: just, the owners still think they own the dust they can't actually send anywhere.
mircea_popescu: i would guess more bitcoin has been loist to nanodusting than to outright laptop-in-garbage dump incidents
mircea_popescu: but once the average per address is under 0.0001... just you see quadratics then
mircea_popescu: and people fail to think how important this is, because atm relatively few addresses (if you divide total btc to total addresses you get a .x ish average)
mircea_popescu: rather than this sort of stuff. it's about 100x easier, given the sad state of bitcoind
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason wallet theft consisted of stealing the (plaintext) wallet file
mircea_popescu: "hey everyone since i installed alfbitcoin my system has been doing 100% cpu"
mircea_popescu: if you imagine this "sum of unspent coin" symbol is defined...
mircea_popescu: whatever it may say, fuck you and a heap of error: {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction creation failed"}
mircea_popescu: and your "poc" that "sends whole wallet" is going to run into some fucking lulzy problems once it gets implemented,
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know im not proposing quinine solves gout over here.
mircea_popescu: if wallet is encrypted in useralnd, then it's read by gpg
mircea_popescu: look, you're spewing nonsense. think in simple terms : if wallet is encrypted by program using it, then it can be read by program using it, and kernel.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes don't forget to encrypt your privkey ring with gpg too
mircea_popescu: (and i'm not entirely sure that encryption's worth jack shit, by the way, if someone feels like reading it)
mircea_popescu: (mp fondly remembers how he's one of the... one guy that hit the power rangers over the head until they finally put encryption into wallets. which, prior to mid 2012, were plaintext)
mircea_popescu: it's a total fucking pain when stuff like, payout of the bfl bitbet happens
mircea_popescu: i was nonplussed that i can't make blocksized txn in 2012, i still am nonplussed.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and also, on my personal wishlist : could block generation finally be fucking fixed ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was talking more in terms of how it's supposed to go. i'm aware the current pos is a pos.
mircea_popescu waits patiently for the vc funded, world changing "start-up" predicated on having read the above lines in the log.
mircea_popescu: problem solves itself. whether they duplicate or not is a byproduct : competition, economical.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the only reasonable way to go about it is, pretend the other nodes are your employees. measure the txn bytes/minute you receive from them, give points.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and the "introduce scoring for peers, shitlist least performing for x interval" idea from earlier, same thread.
mircea_popescu: " So let's take a closer look at the program - it's a .NET 2.0 executable and can be completely decompiled with dotPeek into a set of Visual Studio solutions."
mircea_popescu: While investigating this rather innocuous looking program I discovered that it accepts commands by listening for HTTP requests on localhost:8884 and that the security restrictions Dell put in place are easily bypassed, meaning an attacker could trigger the program to download and install any arbitrary executable from a remote location with no user interaction at all.
mircea_popescu: she's gonna grow up to believe socialism is best because artists.
mircea_popescu: louis c k is givving the snotty brat way too much control over her environment.
mircea_popescu: that also. but i just mean know, not necessarily act, to give them a chance.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i think by now we know more about scams than ny's da office, collectively.
mircea_popescu: and if neobee/primeasic/whatever is bitcoin news, so is the exactly identially executed, designed and manned "mars project"
mircea_popescu: in the words of the great jukov, "the fact that the americans won that battle by sheer accident doesn't mean we shouldn't win the same way deliberately"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, well... that's a good point. in honesty so is gawker, but anyway. the distinction between one model and the other blurs.
mircea_popescu: check it out, trinquette kicked undata out, now he's a bum
mircea_popescu: the only thing missing'd have been, kid frowning and in very bussins voice
mircea_popescu: she knows, for instance, that one of the first things kids babblingly ask is why is the sky blue ?
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, funny story. friend with small baby, intelligent woman, actual engineer, the works.
mircea_popescu: so basically we could say "another copacetic union ruined by trilema" ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i know that part, i'm not arguing roundly for its merits.
mircea_popescu: this was the soviet argument in the 20s. their "artistry" fizzled, and really, 10 years out of 70 ?
mircea_popescu: trinque btw, the "artists of socialism" nonsense is just so much bunk, and thorouighly debunked.
mircea_popescu: but, the fact that chick can get him that worked up over nothing bodes well for teh twu wuv factor involved :D
mircea_popescu: mats : "Comment by Massimiliano Torromeo (mtorromeo) - Friday, 05 April 2013, 12:07 GMT This package is not a dependency of any other package. It also needs to be explicitly installed AND started/enabled so after installation the system is not any less secure."
