mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you actually have the blockchain by very far the best way to do this is stage a local environment and feed the experimental instance through some sort of loopback
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl yeah listen, this 50% uptime business is for the dogs.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada maybe read all the disparate stuff, publish a digest.
mircea_popescu: Naphex on a related note, i really don't get all these derps going "oh you know what ? i'll run a hertzner vm through this magic layer. presto, totally anon!"
mircea_popescu: saifedean yes. for that matter, the bitcoin conference is in april.
mircea_popescu: i didn;'t get around to reading it yet, but its in the pile.

mircea_popescu: keyid8A736F0E2FB7B452 fingerprint 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly, use fingerprints. but that aside, best practice is still to extract key via gribble db
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is of relatively little consequence to us, because we use gribble rather than the pks mess.
mircea_popescu: "If the output size of the chosen hash is larger than the number of bits of q, the hash result is truncated to fit by taking the number of leftmost bits equal to the number of bits of q. This (possibly truncated) hash function result is treated as a number and used directly in the DSA signature algorithm."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i was curiously waiting for the first one to notice.

mircea_popescu: punkman: any objections to punkbot changing name to "notary"? << i like it.
mircea_popescu: in the end. and its a great point. but before he gets there he steps in it.
mircea_popescu: no but wait, my question is, if not {[()]} then what, ()[()]() etc ?
mircea_popescu: "If you wrote @bold{foo} instead of <bold>foo</bold>, you would not even /want/ to say @bold{foo @italic{bar} zot} if you expected to get foo in bold, zot in italic, and bar in both." <<< wait, wut ?
mircea_popescu: dude.... spend the time to put a (was it clock driven ?) spectrometer in a laptop
mircea_popescu: giving idiot "web designers" a gamma= is like giving idiot web designers autoplay video with a volume=.
mircea_popescu: "Professional graphic artists generally produce Web sites on Macintoshes. They slave over the images until the mid-tones look just right, mid-tones that will be mapped almost to black on a typical Sun workstation or PC. The solution to this problem is trivial: a gamma= field in the IMG HTML tag."
mircea_popescu: yet the thing still survived to present day. makes stuff like the www look likely to live on.
mircea_popescu: it's basically a normal bacterium genome that was completely mushed to bits, barely a third of it still works.
mircea_popescu: anyway, speaking of leprosy, that thing is a wonder to behold.
mircea_popescu: i guess after all the tb and bedbug outbreaks in the best socialist california, twas unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was a fun thing to make, that. i think i still have the publisher responses somewhere, "omg you write the greatest letters and whoa so sorry i can't publish this"
mircea_popescu: chetty can you believe people still buy your stuff a decade later ?
mircea_popescu: "The result? A formatting language too wimpy even for a novel." <<< this is pure nonsense. i had my novel on the web just fine in plain html.
mircea_popescu: i believe the proper femsociety word for one who does not care about stupid shit is rapist.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck ever read whatever software the dns letters run ? who ever wrote a patch for it ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the entire extension and so forth : everything that works on the internet and in the world works on "our" principles.
mircea_popescu: PeterL the reason i said "for the theoretically minded" was exactly this tongue in cheek point. "take your broken models and try make sense of the world whydontcha!"
mircea_popescu re-reads, notices he misspelled guns as huns, wonders why the fuck has he not realised this before.
mircea_popescu: PeterL look at the discussion about al schwartz's failed measurements.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is necessarily so. because godel is a cult.
mircea_popescu: code works slowly, you spend a life and in the end it's all a waste.
mircea_popescu: PeterL huns are open for anyone to take, and kill themselves with.
mircea_popescu: i hear gavin is planning to fork bitcoin and make his own version.
