mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/9VClTYt.gif this actually looks a lot like mpoe-pr baiting threads.

asciilifeform: so i'll mention it here.
asciilifeform: i venture to say that the actual goal of general-purpose (or whatever approximation is possible) homomorphic crypto is quite different. ☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i live right outside of a big uni, whose comp sci dept. pisses out a never-ending supply of this crud.

asciilifeform: so fine. i extract the turd and feed it whatever i like
asciilifeform: I am a co-author of the research quoted in the article. I realize it is likely pointless to write this comment in an Internet forum, but let me attempt to clarify the situation, in the hope that some thoughtful participants will find it useful. Please note: I will not be monitoring this forum in the future. If you are a researcher, please feel free to contact me.
mircea_popescu: i bet you we will have a major breakthrough in homomorphisms before we have one in quantum computing.
chipug: that's what i find so funny about people talking about bitcoin safety and hacking... it's all a continual cycle nowadays and that won't change. like leapfrog

mircea_popescu: i swear the proportion of good to retarded quotes i read can not be explained away statistically.
ThickAsThieves: i dont get it

mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you know like i was saying to diametric the other day, this article gets a lot of wordcount mileage out of the banal
jborkl: I feel honored to be mentioned on there, really. Thanks Mp
mircea_popescu: i didn't. let's fix.
mircea_popescu: hey, did i get you on the blogs list ?
jborkl: Mircea, you know I love your writing. I am not very verbose but in a non competitive way bcoinews.com . I printed that first :)
nubbins`: well who knows what i'd have ended up thinking about if i'd gotten it right the first time
nubbins`: tbh i never thought about it much until recently
nubbins`: okay, no, i definitely had my cart before my horse here
mircea_popescu: i mean to some very general degree this'd perhaps be true...
nubbins`: but i think i've just never thought this through
herbijudlestoids: i wonder if i invited FOFOA to chat here he would come
nubbins`: well until five minutes ago i laboured under the impression that a 'deflationary currency' was one where the purchasing power increased over time (i.e. the cost of goods decreases)
mircea_popescu: i mean wtf, how did you end up pinning the world on the currency ?
nubbins`: how many apples are in the bag i'm buying, whatever
nubbins`: i don't know how much apple i get, that's what's wrong
nubbins`: i can't speak to past definitions, but everything i'm reading says that the thing which is inflating is the price of goods
mircea_popescu: (perhaps in the cakes, i guess)
mircea_popescu: if tomorrow i invent a new way to make cakes, and cake prices drop 95%
nubbins`: i don't get it
herbijudlestoids: well, i would say freegold completely discounts and (if you believe in it) discredits all the goldbug hypothesis bullshit thats out there
mircea_popescu: but i'm still kinda clueless.
mircea_popescu: i've looked into it since mostly to try and understand wtf is with these people
chipug: i guess i should get a cryptsy account to get rid of these flipping dogecoins huh
antephialtic: well, I have doubts about the long-term viability
mircea_popescu: i like going aboutg with a wad of cash. works fine.
antephialtic: yes, I agree that the concept has major game theoretic issues. But a coin that solved this issue would be useful primarily as a medium of exchange, rather than as a store of value.
mircea_popescu: think about for a minute : i could hijack your bank's printing press just by moving my coins around ? sweet moses on a stick, this is like USD 2.0
mircea_popescu: antephialtic which is kind-of why i believe it fundamentally can not be measured.
antephialtic: yes, I'm still thinking about a better way to measure velocity. If a good one is found it would be possible to create an altcoin with an algorithmic central bank that adjusts the block reward dynamically to target a certain output growth.
asciilifeform: i'm entirely unconvinced that the smart people are automatically on one team.
antephialtic: antephialtic: well, in that case I'm living in a state of sin anyway because velocity is traditionally computed from output and money supply. The idea that one can measure it empirically is not really seen in mainstream economics, as far as I can tell from a brief review of the literature
ron-: well i suppose it is a server too
ron-: it took me a while to compile the client, i dislike lib boost :|
ron-: i compiled it
mircea_popescu: i think this is memeworthy. the business insider cyrpt occurency.
chipug: man i want her shoes
chipug: i see what you did there
asciilifeform: i dare to predict: there will come a slick charlatan who will 'improve! the crypto!'
chipug: not a blog, its a chat site. i took on coinchat and totally changed direction. its a bit dead now
mircea_popescu: dub i bet you 90% of the ppl who read it because it's about doge never heard of dump and dillute.
dub: I am disappoint that you're giving it air
chipug: thanks guys, you know mircea_popescu i think im currently in the waiting for the butthurt folk to piss off lol
asciilifeform: i can easily picture, for example, a 'revolutionary! amazing! genuinely Alt' coin, with subtly pre-broken crypto.
mircea_popescu: <KRS-> Now her butt is going to smell like that countertop. << i'd be more worried about the reverse tbh
ron-: it does look greek i should know my character sets :`(
herbijudlestoids: lunchtiemz, banh mih i think
herbijudlestoids: i cannot handle this fuckstick any longer
herbijudlestoids: plenty of sites that convert images to ascii art, i mean, sorry
nubbins`: i suppose we could comb bash for the quotes
dub: I may have a collection
nubbins`: ah, i see, i was picturing a couple of quotes per image
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I assume this is going to be some sweet acid free cotton paper... For Archaeologists?
