A complete theory of economics pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: is there
a firm love for sha256 as an algo? << 512.
mircea_popescu: same thing here, everyone with
a keyboard figures he could be picking the music, why not.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: because what they're really saying is "I just want to be able to sell this thing for value without actually having
a market to determine what that value is"
mircea_popescu: incidentally : bitcoin's constant dfif growth is
a major driver of inflation (more coins / unit time than designed = inflation), and that acts as
a price depressant.
mike_c: re: cuban, you started the article basically saying he was clueless :) i'm just
a fanboy, so i was feeling defensive.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, there's exactly one failure mode of
a coin, and that is, no buy side.
mike_c: yeah. i guess if there were
a merchant trying to use ATC he'd probably be the only one worked up over it. hey satoshijack, what you think?
mircea_popescu: remember that "Resilience" is just another way of saying "not giving
a shit".
mircea_popescu: so in short, i don't think it's
a bad idea if thats how you want to spend your time, but i do think it doesn't do much either way.
mircea_popescu:
a single day on xtc there were like 30k blocks traded.
mircea_popescu: yeah i c. as you perhaps guessed, i'm
a log interpreter not compiler.
joecool: BingoBoingo: there was
a woman that found the only perfect natural diamond ever recorded
a few years back, she's likely still diggin away
BingoBoingo: I mean Arkansas has
a state park where the reason to go is diamonds, often of gem quality, literally lay on the ground. Yet people don't go flood Arkansas trying to get to that one attraction.
fluffypony: "I still haven't gotten dick all, other then
a lower share price and
a huge missed opportunity on GoCoin, from seedcoin1. Fuck this."
fluffypony: "They link to
a google doc on their website (which is where I pointed you to on my previous post). It's an example of putting in effort on transparency."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> everyone wants to fucking push the rope. << It's how one shoots self with
a Bow.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: Christian Papathanasiou is "widely considered
a UK thought leader" << does this guy aspire to overtake Dr. Foreskin ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I nearly said as much
a few lines late;)
fluffypony: asciilifeform: what
a waste of an Italian flag
mircea_popescu: mike_c: there's
a widget for calculating cum ROI across any timespan on there << I lolled. because cum ROI is lolzy.
joecool: unless you're
a sex offender
joecool: well it's not like ohio's
a very appealing place to go
mircea_popescu: mike_c is like never on anymore, he's almost like
a guy with
a day job and 3 side projects +
a small kid or something.
JorgePasada: ThickAsThieves: wanna grab
a beer in Amsterdam?
JorgePasada: the problem is I have yet to see
a good way of implementing it that handles both the technical AND social aspects of implementation
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves wait, you dumped the girl because she took it in the ass ?! dude you're wrapped up too tight. /// lol it was obv much more complicated than that, i was
a teenager!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "honey, all that trouble i went to so you could have
a bloodied pecker and make me hurt... show some appreciaiton."
mircea_popescu: plenty of countries around the world you can get
a virginity cert off any gp.
gribble: You rated user fluffypony on Mon Apr 14 15:08:15 2014, with
a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: PPUSD for BTC. Smoooooth sailing..
danielpbarron: that would be cool too; i've been
a fan of Namecoin for
a while now
danielpbarron: there could be more than one WoT twitter bot, too (is this getting close to
a decentralized WoT; just brainstorming here)
danielpbarron: it would help to have
a standard, whatever it is, so that the WoT twitter bot could scan for the verification tweets for the purpose of authing users
danielpbarron: lol so don't trust keybase; you can still GPG sign
a data object describing your association with
a twitter profile and then calculate
a hash of that signature and tweet it
danielpbarron: has anyone in here ever floated the idea of bringing the WoT to twitter? There is
a way to verify that
a GPG key is associated with
a twitter profile; #bitcoin-otc could be replaced with
a twitter hashtag
BingoBoingo: Maybe I haven't heard of them because there hasn't been
a big fuss over "scam"
mike_c: pay the money, few days later
a dusty box shows up from china.
mike_c: yeah. there are
a few "companies" doing bitmain reselling in US. that guy (112bit) has been doing it for awhile.
fluffypony: how is adding
a more rapid difficulty adjustment "completely" changing the coin?
mike_c: yes, well, i'd rather pay
a miner 0.2 btc to let us down gently from this difficulty bump instead of completely change the coin.
fluffypony: so whilst doing the whole "Bitcoin in disguise" thing is humorous, if the aim is to prevent multipools or someone with
a wack of hashing power abusing it (and thus making it even more useless/pointless) then there are solutions to that
fluffypony: mike_c: which is fine when you have 57ph/s network wide, but when you have
a significantly small distribution it's easy to manipulat
fluffypony: they're both half
a dozen of one, six of another
fluffypony: is there
a firm love for sha256 as an algo?
mike_c: i'd also like to hear more from mircea_popescu if he thinks this is
a bad idea.
mike_c: well, mining is
a PITA. I would be interested to know what it would cost to get an option from some miners where they would agree to put some hashes on ATC when we want in the amounts we want.
mike_c: so having some TH/s in your back pocket to smooth out these kind of bumps still seems like
a good idea.
mike_c: well, price support is nice. but it seems that can lead to what just happened. that is, it gets profitable and so
a huge flood of hash hits the network, profit is taken, and hash leaves.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Last diff change was quite
a while ago wasn't it?
ThickAsThieves: there has always been
a bit of
a pattern like that with atc
gribble: Error: "plenty" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "less" is not
a valid command.
gribble: the code is
a valid currency on your target market. Default currency is USD.
ThickAsThieves: my recent blog post has been softened
a bit to be
a little less bitcoinpete-y about the quantum mining guys
akstunt600: However POSv is intriguin the velocity of money is
a great idea
akstunt600: Not sure i want it to be pow/pos after readin up more on it and gettin
a bit more intamate
daybyter: but still needs
a lot of work...
daybyter: the bot can create
a web UI for server mode.
thestringpuller: Naphex: i used to work for
a payment processor who wrote the entire webapp in java
thestringpuller: because when we set
a pointer to null it'll be gc'ed in the next cycle
punkman: can't even browse interesting Java code without
a damn IDE, all those damn subdirectories
BingoBoingo: The whole having
a Giant API layer to run some "portable" code is
a turn off.
akstunt600: yeah lol, java scares me anymore. Such
a shame ecause i supported Java devs for years as
a systems admin
akstunt600: i have
a new coin with
a very cool new concept i would like to implement
ThickAsThieves: "The jury is deliberating in the lawsuit between Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung, but their decision is modified and perhaps complicated by the fact that any damages awarded to Apple will be paid not by the Korean copycat, but by Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). Google, the creator of the Android platform, agreed to absorb
a portion, or the entirety, Samsung’s losses (if any) and court
benkay: for teh lols, it takes >
a minute to generate 4096 bit keypair on
a cutting edge iOS device
bounce: where was that piece about quantum-proofing bitcoin? it's apparently doable though requires something of
a revamp, so probably yet another altcoin
