BingoBoingo: shinohai:

a111: Logged on 2016-06-18 14:58 mircea_popescu: expecting a 100s of GB datastore produced
through
the fragile stack known as bitcoin
to survive for years intact is a bit much.
mircea_popescu: you
telling me
the whole entire field of usgtronic plans collapsed suddenly and irretrievably one fine morning ?
thestringpuller: and buterin is freaking out cause if
they don't like
the "hackers" coins,
they can't move
to PoS
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: But seriously bitcoind can be rather sensitive
to sudden loss of power. Machine running it needs plugged into a battery.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yea next
time it syncs i'll back it up for sure
to multiple drives.
mircea_popescu: awww, no longer 2 bitcent

the ether ? whay socialist miracles never last!!!11

☟︎ mircea_popescu: thestringpuller make a habit of keeping a backup of
the blockchain.
thestringpuller: ^^^-
that is I don't
think it will send or ask for new blocks...it's "stuck" permanently.
thestringpuller: so i don't
think it will sync
to current.
this was due
to power outage. (i've done kill -9, so i'd assume same effect?)

thestringpuller: guess node will be ready in 2 months
jurov: thestringpuller: if
there's a problem with blockchain/index, better start from
the beginning or known good backup
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically republican niggers want
to represent, but nobody in particular.
BingoBoingo: lol "Ryan has endorsed
Trump. But his use of
the word “conscience” could prove helpful
to delegates organizing
the anti-Trump campaign because
they are pushing
to pass a “conscience clause”
that would unbind delegates and allow
them
to vote for whomever
they want"

thestringpuller: yea

to halt
trading
a111: Logged on 2015-07-08 17:08 mircea_popescu: mod6 "our free market is
this
thing you can only buy!!1"
smickles: not much, i'm having fun writing a
trade bot again. going
to do some machine learning stuff with it
smickles: I've got
that on a list of
things
to do :)
smickles: yeah, but you could still have fun with it, but now
there are massive fees for
trading.
they are using it for an isk-sink
trinque: must be like
the voice of
the people or something
trinque: how
the hell does a "distributed autonomous organization" give a statement
trinque: shinohai: holy shit; I
thought
that was your mock-paraphrase
thestringpuller: yea
too many people are making money shorting eth right now
to halt
trading
☟︎ mircea_popescu: these brave weeklings, all
tough and impressive as
they've read on
the inside of
the eggshell.

thestringpuller: 2/2 - I'd be VERY interested
to know
the identify of anyone coordinating an effort
to oppose a hardfork. PM me stephan@slock.it
shinohai: "Practically,
this should mark
the end of
The DAO.
The SlockIt folks should work hard
to dismantle
the fund and return
the coins back
to
the investors in as orderly a fashion as possible.'
BingoBoingo: They'll just burn
the next school's endowment.
mircea_popescu: with any luck, by 2017
they're entirely spent.
that'd be such a perfect outcome of
the whole ethereum idiocy i can't begin
to
tell you.
mircea_popescu: ethereum has officially cost 1% of
the
total mit endowment.
trinque: I suppose
they're lucky
the "rally" has seating and AC
trinque: oh man,
the fatties are lined up on
the street here
to go
to
the
Trump "rally".
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ;;later
tell BingoBoingo in other nyooz, saw ad for quite intact row house for 26k-usd.
then looked on map - it is across
the street from
the infamous pharmacy
that was epicenter of bmore riot! go, buy ? << But how many people can it quarter compared
to Motel?
trinque: rdponticelli: you'll be able
to self-voice with a PM
to deedbot with $up
mircea_popescu: but anywya, it should be very instructive
that
the whole pretense of "1bn market cap" etc is based on a negligible sum of cash,
that's not even
truthfully exposed.
mircea_popescu: "poloniex" for instance (about 3/4 of
the eth fakery) claims ~6k btc on
the buy side. bullcrap.
mircea_popescu: ~what i'm expecting is
that in
typical inept overwhelmed imperial bureaucracy fashion, some "ceiling"'s going
to get hit and before
the red
tape can be cut
through,
the
true buyer side'll be actually exposed and visible. a visage so grotesque and horrific as
to forever mark itself in
the hindbrains of all involved.
mircea_popescu: wasn't some stuff added by funkenstain and
the p guy what was his name
mircea_popescu: look into how
to make a rebased version of any of
the 3-4 items
that await
their rebasing.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if you're itching for something
to sink
teeth into,
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, it's exciting and all, but really, it'll still be here next week an' no good reason
to hussle peoples. nobody was
tailgating
the shit out of you when you were doing
the crawling
mircea_popescu: eh give
the man a moment wouldja. it's been what,
two days ?
Framedragger: alf doesn't have
time for much else. but
this is just me being restless
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
that's a silly idea wtf. 99% of
the work will be
the web interfacing.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah so i'll prolly end up dumping 10M ssh keys on phuctor's ass, via its web interface. i wonder if phuctor can handle parallel requests,
to a point :P i won't be an asshole about it.
☟︎ Framedragger: jurov: apologies for not spotting
the above, and
thank you muchly!
