a paltry 100k ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course it's the experiment in how long can
a population be sustained on
a food simulacrula
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd have to get the client installed again, might be
a while
bloctoc: mircea_popescu I'm not looking for statistical significance or anything, just wanted to see if
a biggish price drop happened after
a big battle was lost.
assbot:
A Combat Doctor's Field Guide To Masturbating In Afghanistan
Mats_cd03: but seriously that humidity. sucks the moisture out of your body in minutes. i normally consumed
a quart of water each hour the sun was up when doin field exercises... still pissed bright yellow
Mats_cd03: Tornados though, those are cool. Saw
a few touch down and wreck rows of homes...i made
a special effort to see it, nevar forget
Mats_cd03: BingoBoingo: I was at leonard wood for
a few years...theres
a good reason the state is
a homophone for misery. Endless days of 90-105F in the summer at 95% humidity...couldn't be worse than hell
bitcoinpete: from that coinomat tard: "Bitcoin community can be considered
a community of accredited investors after all"
benkay: cost for maintenance of legacy systems starts at 2x the greenfield rate with another factor proportionate to the number of lines of code, another proportionate to number of servers involved, and
a third proportionate to how deep the clients pockets are.
Duffer1: deepness in the sky was
a bit better imo
pankkake: yeah. it works really well. also bought
a big-ass antenna
pankkake: it's what I did with my thinkpad… got
a realtek usb that worked much better than the realtek pci-e on linux
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: nope. i should start
a blog
BingoBoingo: This is the first portable where when the battery life became unbearably short I actually ponied up for
a new OEM battery.
BingoBoingo: The build is durable. It is really all I ask for in
a portable machine.
BingoBoingo: turbo_ac100: No,
a X120e, 2011 model Lenovo
turbo_ac100: I'm debugging sound in fuckin manjaro. It's
a disgrace... So 2000 :/
decimation: I find good shoes and socks are
a requirement for pain free walking
pankkake: I now walk 1 hour
a day, used to be 0, spent half my day in bed for months
decimation: I suspect that Argentinian beef is more likely to be raised free-range than on
a feedlot, but I could be wrong
decimation: Hey I'm not saying that you have to eat paleo. But all things being equal, it's probably better to eat
a cow who ate grass instead of one who was fed grain in
a cage
mircea_popescu: punkman: tourist idiots like to rent them around here, then they end up in
a ditch with broken legs << word.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im definitely staying, everyone start saving for next year's conference. i got the hotel, it's
a pleasure. you're all getting apartments even! and superb restaurants and everything.
benkay: mircea_popescu: do you plan to incorporate anything in b.
a.?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: plain or rich text? << ahaha
a new standard is born
assbot: [ANN]open business economics (taking crypto to
a new level)IPO
mircea_popescu: "The fact that Bitcoin’s followers deeply oppose this sort of aggressive government action explains why their aspirations to building
a universal currency aren’t working."
decimation: well, the latter is
a direct consequence of the former as well
fluffypony: punkman: if it was
a scammer, I'd put his info up on the interwebs without hesitation. This guy is borderline, so he gets borderline dox.
fluffypony: by night he's
a CIA agent cum Freemasoner
fluffypony: ok wait, so by day he's
a beauty magazine editor
mircea_popescu: (your blondy excluded) decided it'd be
a great idea to leak info, so she did.
mircea_popescu:
a guy by the name mazzotta who happens to be
a federal agent contracted for his own garage to have some rig shit delivered. he was gone one day, and his WIFE who is about as clueful as the average blondy
fluffypony: indeed - I believe he even has
a nail technicians license or something
fluffypony: "Tell Agent Mazzotta the lizard has entered the fibreglass cage of resourcefulness. Do not miss
a word. Also tell him that the following message is CICADA 3301-F encoded: OSDJFSH02382oaSDFaweasdFAWr3q23eaq#RWQAE"
fluffypony: but for
a while I was tempted to reply:
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, ahahaha, agent mazzotta's office has all the opsec of
a chicken coop
Naphex: been having
a very nasty cold since friday, i'm mostly zombie mode
mircea_popescu: benkay: if i have to run bitcoind anyways why the fuck not just run bitcoind and take
a dep on the whole fuckoff blockchain? << quite.
thestringpuller: but if you put
a space before the command it doesn't store it in bash history (like that actually helps)
mircea_popescu: and then bitcointalk is the place to do that. i suppose this guy goes around in
a toga because nobody told him the roman empire fell i nthe meanwhile.
kakobrekla: poutine what exactly defines
a 'custom' tx?
poutine: It'd be quite easy to dump data into btc. I'm sure it'd piss off
a lot of people though (namely everyone with the blockchain), but you could embed wikileaks into the blockchain through redeemable transactions
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid: dignork: I find it hard to conceive of
a business that can't think of expansion . << efficiency of capial deployment is the issue. read buffett\s letters to investors, he covers it in detail
thestringpuller: "Considering the points above I believe that Bitcoin stocks are here to stay. The key to success here would be the issuers screening and preemptive measures against fraudulent players. Serious and responsible project can be successful here, and most probably relatively unperturbed by regulators. Centralized exchanges should have
a crucial role, since decentralized ones cannot probably achieve high level of protec
mircea_popescu: the fact that there's no one doing it now simply reflects the fact nobody is currently giving
a shit. not something ytou can rely on as you change the incentive structure
poutine: 24 moves within
a single turn thestringpuller
thestringpuller: poutine: re earlier: 24 possible moves total? or 24 possible moves within
a single turn?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla, left him
a comment, curious if he publishes it.
poutine: The miner situation I think is obvious,
a miner could definitely redirect the output with little effort, and nobody to punish him for it, but wouldn't the above situation simply be covered by the timestamping server, and currently by the fact there's only one mining pool that accepts these transactions, and they do not allow double spends in their memory pool?
poutine: punkman, Ok so if I was making the move e4, and my player secret was foo, and an acceptable redemption scriptSig is hash256('fooe4'). When I submit my redemption, you're saying someone else would see it in the mempool, and submit it to
a different mempool with the redemption going to
a different address?
poutine: punkman, the cost is that you'd have to solo mine to forge the tx right now, or participate in
a mining pool that would automate the forgery
poutine: yes,
a miner could cheat, but
a miner would have
a significant cost to cheat
punkman: poutine, your puzzle redeeming transaction could be rewritten by
a miner right?
poutine: mircea_popescu, Hmm I'm not sure I understand, the way I'd see it is if it were chess, all possible moves would be an acceptable redemption for the tx, like pawn to e4 would be
a redemption, Qxe5, etc. That way the game could be followed just by following the blockchain for the tx
poutine: I can make
a tx where there's 24 potential scriptSigs that will redeem it
poutine: thestringpuller, Well you have
a 201 opcode limit, 1000 stack size limit, and
a 10000 byte tx limit, I need 8 opcodes per comparison, so as long as there's 24 possible moves or less it can be played on the blockchain
poutine: It is possible to play
a game on the blockchain where there's
a limited amount of moves. Chess would be too complicated, checkers might not be
gribble: mrwdunne was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 4 weeks, 3 days, 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <mrwdunne> US doesn't have
a very good track record when it comes to human rights and terrorism. Their judgement was probably the correct one
mircea_popescu: benkay: didn't mpif have
a float of n at t=0 and then shortly thereafter had
a float of n + m? << 1mn, then as that sold out 2mn
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete that's in like, palenque in mexico, arenal in cr etc. tourist traps with shitty pipes. otherwise not
a concern.
poutine: I followed the instructions for
a regular transaction, but instead of the normal pay to pubkey/scripthash, I just put in my own script
poutine: was seeing if there were any loose transactions on the blockchain I could claim with
a little bit of brainpower
poutine: nah it's
a bitcoin nonstandard tx that someone put an ascii message in
poutine: with
a shout out to this channel
punkman: the guy that lost 50btc on jd: <pippin> At least I have
a reason to try at school now lol, any delusions of being rich just went out the window.
fluffypony: the way I read his post was: "if you feel like pissing your money into the toilet, please use my toilet. Personally, I don't think pissing money into
a toilet is
a good idea. I don't piss money into the toilet much."
pankkake: " You may have cost yourself
a lot of respect from the community."
thestringpuller: pankkake: dooglus is also not
a criminal like most casino owners in Vegas...
assbot: Distraught Redditor debates whether to gamble their life savings. Owner of Just-Dice shows up and chimes in: "If you think
a 49.5% chance of having 100 BTC is better than
a 100% chance of having 50 BTC, then betting it all on
a double-or-nothing at Just-Dice is the way to go." Decides to bet; loses. : Bitcoin
thestringpuller: jurov: wow reddit is angry at dooglus "Dooglus, as the owner of Just Dice, you should not have said anything to them whatsoever, due to conflict of interest. You may have cost yourself
a lot of respect from the community."
benkay: didn't mpif have
a float of n at t=0 and then shortly thereafter had
a float of n + m?
