fluffypony: but because everyone's changed their rating of him to
a negative
fluffypony: if I'm looking to raise BTC-denominated funds privately as
a company (angel investing, really) and don't want to go the IPO route in order to at least somewhat stave off the general discovery of trade secrets (for want of
a better term), is there
a generally accepted way of doing so? proposal has been drawn up already, just not really sure how one goes about finding BTC angel investor types
fluffypony: ok so I have
a question that has nothing to do with bills
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing,
a government/agency/etc is quite incapable of intent.
ThickAsThieves: but i'll write
a bill with you anytime baby. I'll hold your commas, and you can diddle my phonetic abortions
mircea_popescu:
a but unrelatedly, as the possibility of intent in large institutional actors.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, we two could write
a bill in that sense, right now. what of it.
ThickAsThieves: i could see
a bill being passed as being closer to "shat"
benkay: mircea_popescu: more of
a comment on myself than the world
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i'd say the converse.
a bill is shat, not anything else.
mike_c: the intent of
a bill with no chance of passing is PR.
mircea_popescu: anyway, just sayin'. who's to know really. in point of fact, you can probably find
a *state* senator trying to put in
a bill on any given topic.
mircea_popescu: who knows, it's like an earthworm. it sorta slugs away but not as
a direct result of any of the ganglions.
mircea_popescu: more like in the way
a poor farmer with 13 kids needs one in school.
ThickAsThieves: you mena in the same way that
a child needs to be slapped sometimes
ThickAsThieves: ugh "Actually, what is needed is to leave it as property but add an exemption for the first $X0,000 of gain, which is what other countries are doing, particularly in Europe. That way it can effectively function as
a currency, but investors who go long also get favorable tax treatment."
TomServo: mircea_popescu | hardly. name
a fat woman that was ever funny. << Lisa Lampanelli has some good stuff, but it's basically
a female version of Don Rickles act
ThickAsThieves: so now Texas has
a bill to edit IRS to call bitcoin currency?
bounce: brb, there's
a tree here as needs hugging
bounce: clearly not american enough to appreciate that as
a style figure
bounce: heartbleed, not beedingheart, and
a plurality mismatch in the last paragraph or so
mircea_popescu: cazalla so now it's
a challenge again, see ? nature fixes all.
cazalla: i use to do 10km every morning but then i got fat and lazy when it was no longer
a challenge
ThickAsThieves: most i ever ran was
a half-marathon, which gave me my knee injury
cazalla: hey me too, legs are killing me from doms, had to take
a few days break lol
ThickAsThieves: maybe it's too options for the morbidly obese, outward depression, or
a carreer in comedy
mircea_popescu: i know for
a fact that upon lynching
a legal system can be built.
benkay: you're
a fan of the lynching?
ozbot: Lynchings:
a collective mental condition - BuenosAiresHerald.com
ThickAsThieves: offered to have me get
a Letter to the Editor published
benkay: HeySteve2 was having epic problems with 0.9 and
a wallet.
bounce: so we're how many years on and I haven't looked but am I to understand there's still not much of
a protocol spec? looks like the foundation sure set some useful priorities.
bounce: well, there's
a new chief developer guy now. everything gonna be better now, right?
jurov: just cause it "exceeded connection attempt threshold to tcp:22 81 times in
a 30 minute period"
mike_c: "There is no total of 64 kilobytes limitation to the attack, that limit applies only to
a single heartbeat. Attacker can either keep reconnecting or during an active TLS connection keep requesting arbitrary number of 64 kilobyte chunks of memory content until enough secrets are revealed."
midnightmagic: MisterE: It's just
a chunk of the heap. to get different data, the heap contents must change in between attacks. That is, you can't just dump the process' entire memory space.
midnightmagic: bounce: No, it's not
a random 64k block. It's the same block each time you run the attack.
MisterE: bounce: it is not
a random 64k block and you can continue requesting them until you get all the info you want
bounce: AFAIK you get
a random 64k block back, so whatever's in there you can get
Mats_cd03: 'heartbleed', who knew security researchers had
a flair for the dramatic
MisterE: Oh yea we built
a datacenter build there, it is nice area
MisterE: did
a lot of 1031 exchanges
Mats_cd03: literally two months after i completed
a purchase on
a number of properties
MisterE: I imagine is sucked
a bit before then heh
Mats_cd03: the bank received
a directive to shut down fxbtc's bank account
MisterE: Mats_cd03: what is your impression of the people's credibility? Do they seem like
a branch manager of one of the biggest Chinese banks?
MisterE: excellent, would you mind having
a look if its credible Mats_cd03 ?
MisterE: supposedly an interview with
a Chinese bank manager that was taken with an iphone has been posted where he confirms PBOC will drop the hammer on RMB
BingoBoingo: truffles: There is
a difference between people and "ppl"
benkay: unless that's
a rude question. is that
a rude question?
ozbot: Twitter / gavinandresen: Expect
a 0.9.1 Bitcoin Core ...
benkay: i'm not saying that mental health is purely
a function of workout frequency. i've been larned better than that by the DSMi. it's just all too frequent that people resort to drugs without actually putting in the work to get their physical health dialed.
truffles: might take
a lil more than that for the clincially insane
benkay: most medicated people i've met don't jog 3 times
a week, or even picking up heavy things until sweaty that many times
a week. some variant of which is
a prerequisite for stable mental chemistry.
truffles: how about drinking some tea, sitting doing
a sudoku
BingoBoingo: benkay:
A jog can't do the things Lithium can though
benkay: can be
a handicap, truffles. makes sucking at ones craft very painful when you start hitting that competence threshold that only lots of deliberate practice can get one over.
truffles: id think its
a good thing to be smart but u never know
keonne: with that being said, im off for
a bit to grab some coffee, later
keonne: One good thing out of all that, I didn't realize that android wallet users PIN codes are stored on bchain servers. As
a result during the outage people weren't able to get into their android wallet with PIN only password. That is totally incorrect, from now on, your PIN will never be sent to our servers, it is hashed and stored locally instead
keonne: yeah the database corrupted, it was
a very bad week
dexX7: and
a strange one ;) blockhashes were all fine, but tx count was wrong and as mentioned, txs missing
keonne: not in terms of functionality or people losing btc, but in
a scaring the shit out of people way
keonne: yeah it was
a major issue
keonne: API should be back, we moved over to bitcoinj, and overall things are
a lot quicker now. If there is something specific please let me know
Chris_Sabian: isn't there some room in blocks for 0 fee transcation though? but it would take
a long time to confirm though?
truffles: keonne u were supposed to say right, i know ure
a blast
Chris_Sabian: I can use
a bit of help: can anyone get the raw transcation from this tx id: df74678b86bdf78656b92a1fd7da70aa35ecba12847decd684485fb0a79e728c
Mats_cd03: ascii is going to need
a lot of units
thestringpuller: Mats_cd03: you really waiting for
a cardano to get into WoT?
keonne: especially if you are
a native english speakers
Mats_cd03: theres
a 550w sol farm in the district
benkay: hanky basis for investment thesis is that in the way rivers were important to US city site locations once upon
a time internet and power will be bastions of order in mad-max future.
