fluffypony: benkay: "The protocol was coded to create XCP on any address that sent less than or equal to 1 BTC to 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr between blocks 278310 and 283810 This was written right into the open-source code. So no individual had to be trusted to accept money then distribute
a genesis block like with Next, Mastercoin, Emunie, Ethereum, Levelcoin (ipo scam), Visacoin (ipo scam)"
benkay:
a little script that curl otp-url.php | gpg -d | pbcopy on os x is how i do things
cgcardona_: I just recently registered for this room. I had to register my nick w/ nickserv. Then w/ gribble i `register cgcardona_ <gpg ID>`. gribble replies w/
a challenge string which I then signed w/ my gpg key and put on to pastebin. Then to gribble I said `verify <pastebin url>` and my registration was good. Now to assbot I ca n`!up` and it works. Each time to register w/ gribble I `auth cgcardona_ ` to which it replies w/ anoth
benkay: although i guess xcp is
a limited time burn thing?
gribble: Error: "bg" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: 'name>' is not
a valid GPG key id. Please use the long form 16 digit key id.
benkay: basically paper only has value if there's someone with
a gun backing that statement of value.
ThickAsThieves: the push for them comes from
a desire to remove centralized exchanges for stocks or property
cgcardona_: i'm wondering how the alt coin scene will change w/ the arrival of mastercoin and/or colored coins and/or sidechains. If I understand correctly these will layer abstractions upon bitcoin which will use
a satoshi as
a level of abstraction to represent anything (stock option, gold bar, keys to
a car, deed to
a house, etc). If that's the case then all that value should be driven back into the bitcoin blockchain right?
kakobrekla: asciilifeform i guess we wait until humans manage to grow functional brains on
a petri dish, then the argument will be settled.
ThickAsThieves: i was so stoked cuz i bought it with money from winning
a juried art show
kakobrekla: anyway these battery 'revolutions' come once
a week, for the past, i dunno, 10 years
thestringpuller: maybe you can help. eventually i was hoping to have
a script that pulled an insult from the list...
benkay: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: google did the same thing with python. spot/coopt an emerging thingy of whatever quality, hire its writers and most active folks, all of
a sudden you have access to the best talent in newlang world. speshully the young and easily bamboozled, who get to 'work' 'closely' with the designers of their language.
cedivad: basically by forcing them to disclose the delivery dates in the contract with TSMC you could have
a smoking gun to use against them in
a fraud proceeding
mircea_popescu: cedivad the reason i say blog is because you seem to have
a lot to talk about. bitcointalk, hashfast, etc.
cedivad: and ship it as
a MPP in
a few months
cedivad: well, i've nothing smart to say, i'm sorry. I've just finished to write
a complaint i will send to the public inquiry unit of california, nothing interesting (hashfast sucks)
moiety: i think they should host btctalk over in china for
a bit
mircea_popescu: "do what
a buncha dorks getting in your face tell you to"
fluffypony: and every joke you make she keeps
a deadpan face and says "that isn't funny"
mircea_popescu: now that's
a fucking accomplishment, excess flood while muted. guy prolly went all spaz
jurov: yea, and it strives to avoid evil ASICs but as presumably they can't think of one, it will start with
a placeholder one
jurov: yet i don't see
a good nethod to verify gas expended without redoing whoiole computation
jurov: it has
a feel of rogirous math publication, yet it's brimming with unsolved problems
jurov: hm, seems like mircea_popescu recently got
a propensity to solutions that break under bad external circumstances
bounce: ``[Erik Naggum] disliked C++, though not as much as he hated Perl, but he generally thought that C++ was too difficult to understand to such
a degree that only about 5 people on the planet truly understood it and hence was of little value for humanity.'' (wikipedia) -- how's that for an elitist language, eh. jealous much? *gdr*
moiety: nickserv is having
a stroke today
moiety: hope you feel better after
a sleep jurov
jurov: it's really not so hard, just become slave to
a piece of shitty code that has something to do with mpex
cgcardona_: This is the first time I've needed to verify my identity w/
a chatroom in that way. seems like
a pretty powerful idea.
bitcoinpete: i've definitely been cracking
a few eggs around the bitcoin expo in toronto.
moiety: well worth
a watch, promise. i feel they are
a bit similar withthe trekking and hallucinatory bits
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 just
a buncha derpy kids. at least
a decade ago
mircea_popescu: it's more expensive, so you actually don't want to run
a clean system.
mircea_popescu: the incentive to do it is actually negative. if you run
a site as
a us business, and they can directly steal your data this way, they will.
Mats_cd03: mp: funny enough, ill be living in lowell in
a few months with
a friend
moiety: apprently " there is no evidence of
a successful rib-removal surgery in all of the Western world. "
mircea_popescu: moiety no, that's for making
a woman. different sport.
mike_c: if i had one bullet, and I was in
a room with gawker, BI, and bitcointalk..
mircea_popescu: they did to some degree exist in scotland, which WAS
a colony of england
mircea_popescu: notrly. it's more of
a product of the empty spaces of the colonies, and the peculiar cvasi-catholic sects they followed.
mircea_popescu: be very amused that anyone seriously thinks anyone'd believe they fought
a war over that difference.
mike_c: I just hate BI. such trash. can't decide if they're worse than gawker, but it's
a close race to the bottom of the toilet bowl.
mike_c: BI is (as usual) blowing shit out of proportion for headlines. 6 people were pissed they got evicted and made
a sign. who cares.
mircea_popescu: no but it's like... yo shithead. you make enough to buy me
a tie
a year and are here protesting ? you're fucked, better hope you enjoy living in
a sewer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine the way
a large talent stable works is invariant. gotta let people do the stupid shit they wanna do to some degree
mircea_popescu: [\\\] apparently. they were doing some shit about "come have your name on
a plaque on this statue we're building"
Azelphur: but yea, was just curious, it's such
a weird situation, and this getting hacked thing makes no sense
mircea_popescu: dude what the fuck, i just had
a coupla shots of brandy
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I would have if I started running
a brokerage being in England ;)
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: nah, remember you wanted me to open
a brokerage, and I did
a lot of code, but didn't release it because of the whole going to jail thing.
Azelphur: back when I was designing your exchange I actually had
a conversation with tux about security
kakobrekla: i dunno, it has
a lot of qualities i like. its indeed trippy and and well its fuckin hilarious, after about 30min in or so
artifexd: @jy-p> it's
a nice little bullshit trick that is used by people who don't get their work done
artifexd: mircea_popescu: I'm starting to understand why you like these guys. Here's
a quote that I find particularly compelling:
moiety: kk, not like me to not see
a film through tbf
moiety: trainspotting is not
a favourite of mine, ican't deny its done well though. I much prefer Shallow Grave
mircea_popescu: "Very difficult. That's very difficult, do you understand? It's difficult because you're selling to
a particular group. Fat cats. Big shots. Guys who can afford $200k. And guys who can use
a whole fucking suitcase full of cocaine. Basically, Clarence, guys I don't know. And guys you don't know. And more importantly, they don't know you."
