asciilifeform: (whenever I read the word "goxlag" I can't help but imagine a future Gulag for BTC users...)
ThickAsThieves: its sorta like how i hate traffic cameras
ThickAsThieves: .00001 speculation is no different than 10000btc i guess.... i guess
ThickAsThieves: i guess i'm a hypocrite tho
ThickAsThieves: i just want the market to be a market
ThickAsThieves: but i cant stand them
ThickAsThieves: i assume they cant be avoided
copumpkin: I love me some bots
ThickAsThieves: i cant stand bots
ThickAsThieves: i kid
ThickAsThieves: i want to learn more about this. more and more and more and more and more
Diablo-D3: thestringpuller: I juggle tasks.
Diablo-D3: and then for sharecoins, I could query the client to see who owns shares
Diablo-D3: I can sign a sharecoin using the scripting stuff
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: well, the way I'd code it is
Diablo-D3: where I send a tx to the network that says "these coins are shitcoined for the following users" and then list their public keys
asciilifeform: at the time I wrote that, I was not yet 100% clear on how the block chain works. But now I know that Shitcoin could ride entirely on top of Bitcoin proper. You would store the necessary data as custom transactions (the way some people encode prayers into the blockchain.)
exfortuna: Thank you, but is there a way to get raw data? I'm doing a regression analysis for an econ class
exfortuna: does anyone know where I could find data for bitcoin difficulty?
Diablo-D3: I like that idea
Diablo-D3: thestringpuller: I request a new analogy
Scrat: well i guess it does make a bit of sense, just 2-3% of overhead for a great increase in availability
Diablo-D3: I can do those techniques in C
Diablo-D3: I didnt like the direction it was going
Diablo-D3: Scrat: I already shelved seaking
Diablo-D3: btw, I probably wouldnt go the route of 3 out of 4
Diablo-D3: I send in total 256kb for a 192kb
Diablo-D3: so if I need 3 or 4 of a 128kb block, 3 RS chunks will be 128kb
Scrat: well I need to think about it but it looks as if you're gonna need to have a lot of RS redundancy to make that usable
Scrat: i still think that more intelligence in the download algorithms will trump whatever improvement you will get there
Diablo-D3: and then that finishes, and I send chunk C to peer 3, and while Im doing that, peer 1 sends A to another n (where n includes 2 and 3), peer 2 sends B to n (which includes 1 and 3)
Diablo-D3: I send chunk A to peer 1, that completes, then I send chunk B to peer 2 and while Im sending it to 2, peer 1 is sending A to peer n
Scrat: I still don't get where it will be used
Diablo-D3: so I dont get compression out of those
Scrat: if you use something fast like snappy I doubt it will go below 80-90%
Diablo-D3: infact, lets say I need 3 blocks to reconstruct 4
Diablo-D3: so I can send it out in chunks, and getting x of y chunks you can reconstruct the missing (y - x) chunks
Diablo-D3: I should be able to use network coding to basically torrent the new block to all my peers
mod6: i wonder if these contracts will be PGP signed by both parties? i guess someone would have to inquire further...
Scrat: I don't think it's his
mod6: well, i guess they have up to the next forward month
mircea_popescu: why not trade them on mpex i wonder.
mircea_popescu: did i miss something here ?
mircea_popescu: i don't happen to believe in making things to own. i prefer owning things other ppl make
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I might, if I lacked anything else to do. Personally I'm not sitting on a stable of slaves waiting to be Sokobanned.
mircea_popescu: i get what you're trying but you're not ther eyet.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: yes but I still eat away at that
Diablo-D3: think about what I just said.
Diablo-D3: I'm trying to wildly drive up the cost of ASICs
mircea_popescu: lol omg i found first diablocoin bug
Diablo-D3: I meant -M not -m
mircea_popescu: i think they should use -M anyweay
Diablo-D3: Im saying I can make their construction very expensive
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: Im not saying I can stop asics
Diablo-D3: like, I can buy a machine that has 1TB of memory
Diablo-D3: which is why I want something that requires off the shelf normal CPUs
mircea_popescu: i never followed it closely
mircea_popescu: i thought it was just the azn kid
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: I dont think they're smart enough to figure out how, honestly.
mircea_popescu: explain it to me like i'm retarded
Diablo-D3: I think I might go the 1024 bit value route
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I'm rather surprised you have not built SlaveCoin yet.
mircea_popescu: i beg your pardon ?
mircea_popescu: I WOULD RULE THIS COIN
mircea_popescu: i'd have my slavegirls mining naked in chains
Diablo-D3: seriously, you'd think I would write c++ that horrid?
Diablo-D3: I know satoshi used multiple irc nicks
Diablo-D3: hell, I think satoshi may have even asked me early on to use bitcoin
thestringpuller: I will mine diablo coins too
Scrat: i will mine diablocoins
Diablo-D3: I also want to make it very fucking difficult for ASICs to win
Diablo-D3: theres a lot of interesting ideas I want to try out on making chain transmission faster
mircea_popescu: i thought he was
Diablo-D3: yes I am
kakobrekla: i mean some are significantly different and stupider
kakobrekla: i dont think they are based on btc.. not all of them
Diablo-D3: I want to take the ideas of bitcoin and use new code
Diablo-D3: I don't directly want that.
Diablo-D3: I refer to litecoin using past tense.
Diablo-D3: this is why I want to start my own chain
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the scenario I envision has BTC playing the role of gold bullion, that is relevant despite only being used in relatively few places.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I think the quoted bandwidth takes the frequency of usable ion trails into account.
mircea_popescu: nah. problem with mbc i'm told is that it has very narrow bw
pgp: i like it - a bit more intuitive than a candlestick chart...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok i don't get this. use meteors how ?!
mircea_popescu: i can't believe people still use pdfs
mircea_popescu: i think it's designed to
thestringpuller: I expect a blog post please.
mircea_popescu: ;;eightball do i have any explaining to do
gribble: I doubt it very much.
thestringpuller: I needed that
c1n0: i usually consult oracles and ask them to gather every different type of drug out there and make a cocktail and inject it into my eyeballs just before i make a trade so i can read the market better
mircea_popescu: i pretty much never do
thestringpuller: I'm holding you to that eight ball :P
jurov: thestringpuller, i remember that comics where a dog sitting before door is drawn "intently staring at the door makes the master manifest"
mircea_popescu: well thestringpuller, more generally, everything i do is to help people start their own rackets.
thestringpuller: sounds reasonable, i didn't know if you were opposed to people setting up rackets using bitbet
thestringpuller: I didn't expect you to be so reasonable :P
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i still don't ghet it.
thestringpuller: I could make a bitbet bet but then it really has no point
