mircea_popescu: ;;google what the wot is, how it works and how to use it
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'you lamer, betcha own x86 boxes and like it, trololol' << pete got a bunch of that on his software doesn't fail recent thing too
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla didn't, no. you're too dry for this language :)
mircea_popescu: never underestimate the importance of crackpot demands.
mircea_popescu: people need a lot more negativity in their life to be happy and productive and members of society.
mircea_popescu: commenting it to show when it won't work rather than "what you imagine it does" is even more useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform commenting the source code is never a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: it's another to trust it because asciilifeform commited it, and therefore perhaps read it, and it's open source so therefore "billions of eye pairs"
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to trust this rnd function because asciilifeform and 25 others signed on reading it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: we need to create that "have read" accounting scheme i was talking about weeks ago.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> how to do signed commits << the barbarian way. everyone who read a patch file (yes) and is willing to sign under it, signs. this gets posted. whoever wants, can apply the patches to get a merged turdball. << i think this is exactly how it should go.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jurov it can just be wrapped in gpg --clearsign you know ?
mircea_popescu: a contrib that is submitted via ssh WAS, maybe, perhaps, signed at some point.
mircea_popescu: jurov might be a good idea via bots, so people can commit from here directly, but even w/o that : a contrib that is signed is signed permanently.
mircea_popescu: punkman yeah speaking of all this comotion, any chance we get the deedbot up by fri ?
mircea_popescu: if lenin were alive today lenin would be begging us to let him in this chan.
mircea_popescu: except it should be explicitly exclusive rather than inclusive. "We will NOT work with unqualified third parties, which is to say parties that have not satisfied their log reading and wot presence prequalifications."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <mod6> <+ben_vulpes> i've never written a charter, are there good examples out there? << me either, but we can work on it. no sweat. << you've read plenty of mpex contracts, good enough. keep it direct, plain and simp,le.
mircea_popescu: there HAVE been cases where bitcoin used shitty entropy.
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing this : asciilifeform the one thing you'd be most halpful with would be, look into the god damned rand code/crypto uses thereof.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes mod6 so draft a charter, then we can bitch at it.
mircea_popescu: which is another very valid 2nd step, audit the motherucker.
mircea_popescu: <bounce> the bitcoin source is actually reasonably portable and doesn't depend on "helpful" stuff like cmake << also true.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> you have to feed it a blockchain to avoid endless waiting? << not like we can't keep an official copy for bootstrapping, or else people who have the patience can just make their own
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> qemu is available just about anywhere << this is true.
mircea_popescu: <bounce> oh, and deceptive. recall that shop that relied on its "accounting" features, then found out the hard way they're useless for keeping track of accounts? << yeah and definitely must fix, but that'll be hard to do on the first pass. an excellent thing to do for first revision tho, take out "labels" implement accounts correctly (or merge coin control in, either way)
mircea_popescu: <jurov> and if without gui, then it should work fine on cygwin, no? << probably.
mircea_popescu: all this non-unix bs, "gotta make an application to join curl and awk EACH WAY THEY COULD BE JOINED". for fiddy billion "different" aps.
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> let others extend. i don't want gpg to incorporate curl libs so it can automatically grab otps from gribs << EXACTLY. do one thing, do it well.
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> i don't think gui should be a priority, at all. << prolly not. if they kill the qt branch it would be no loss anyway
mircea_popescu: which is my fucking point. this "name and logo" approach to "ideas" is for the birds.
mircea_popescu: hardly. it'd be the bitcoin foundation. because it's what it is.
mircea_popescu: the us congress calls itself sovereign. anyone can call anything
mircea_popescu: this is bitcoin. that some other derps are calling their derpage bitcoin too... well who cares.
mircea_popescu: othernubs` there's really no cause to fork the name too. let the gavin-mike-dorkteam run into obscurity and that's that.
mircea_popescu: cazalla by the way, intel sez that the reason you've not heard from sgornick nor will you is that the guy meanwhile figured out i'm involved, and doesn't like me either because i said nigger or cunt at some point in the past.
mircea_popescu: especially a shitty one run in circles through featuritis swamp by idiots
mircea_popescu: no point in having pre-compiled code in case of exceptions. pre-compiled is for non exceptional stuff.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah, okay, if anyone gets ass-assinated we'll ad-hoc it k ?
mircea_popescu: ah git. well u dunno man, that's why there's foundation chairs. sort this shit out.
mircea_popescu: well once they actually get the charter signerd i suppose there's going to be a geethoob
mircea_popescu: hire people like eulora hires people, on gpg contract.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal i dun thyink so. you see, it's by doing shit.
