mircea_popescu: maybe it's
a bad idea for coders to be allowed to chose their language.
mircea_popescu: they who have anything to lose are, of course, the miners. so
a system where miners vote somehow on standard block size may be
a replacement, maybe.
mod6: i have been hit in the head
a lot :S
mod6: oh... it seems to me that if 1 billion people send 1 satoshi in 5 years, it could be
a 10gb block... who cares, process it
mod6: do you believe there should be
a block size limit at all?
mod6: but its
a 250k limit so the joke's on me LOL
BitHub: its such
a good word, i use it for slang all the time
mircea_popescu: they have been bleeding market share month by month by month. by now i wouldn't even bet they do
a third.
mircea_popescu: it's
a win-win : the noobs get bragging rights (which they don't know how to use, but hey, youth), mtgox gets out of some stick.
mircea_popescu: after the french fiasco they certainly didn't feel the need for
a replay, so.
BingoBongo: Coinlab probably though it was
a bargain
BingoBongo: I dunno yCombinator has all of that renting apartments out to methheads money Mircea, it was probably either bought, hyped, or humiliated. I don't think Gox was forced, but I say this with
a low degree of confidence.
BitHub: i think you'll see
a lil bump but gox should be okey :)
mod6: that's been
a while now, longer than most of us
BingoBongo: I mean the girl's been hammering the Gox is dead mantra and some noobs seem to be trusting her for
a change. You might have survived the game long enough that people start to assume you're legit.
mircea_popescu: as long as it's the consensus it's as good as any other, for
a service provider.
mircea_popescu: tho tbh... what diff would it make to anyone if its gox spot or oix or
a random number coming out of
a hat.
SpNg: mircea_popescu: seriously? wtf? you have
a link to the post?
mircea_popescu: there's
a forum post the girl made summing up everything
BingoBongo: Bitcoin is
a drama role playing game and it just so happens the tokens to play the game happen to be valued quite
a bit. Like WoW gold.
BitHub: deliver you
a big box with
a letter inside it asking for money money
mircea_popescu: simple illustrative point : i can pick
a torrent worth 7gb right now, anything with less than 20 seeders
mircea_popescu: herpderp joe sixpack becomes
a dev if you aggregate 5000 of them !?
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: 1,000,000 users also brings
a number more developers onboard
mod6: christ on
a pony this is idiotic
BitHub: Luke-Jr ya i know was thinking if you spent
a week there adn wrote the code, would that be legal?
mod6: what if SD wasnt
a gaming site?
Luke-Jr: why the USA has such
a big problem with gambling, I'll probably never understand
mircea_popescu: face facts : sooner or later Luke-Jr will end up in
a little corner playing with some correct toys nobody cares about
mod6: Luke-Jr: what you're proposing is
a hard fork of the blockchain right?
maximian: evoorhees should reinvest his profits into
a massive mining pool - that's probably the surest way to make the crusaders irrelevant.
mod6: (20:58) <+Luke-Jr> anyhow, I was just trying to get
a feel for how many people would run
a counter-SD client if I take the time to write the code
BitHub: he gave me
a pretty lulz neg review
mod6: mircea_popescu: im /nearly/ at
a loss for words.
maximian: DailyAnarchist put it right it
a bitcointalk thread: if nobody knew what the source of these "spam" transactions were, then the discussion would be about how to improve the system to handle more transactions. The fact that the crusaders know these transactions are from SatoshiDice has clouded their judgement.
mircea_popescu: no meme spreads past the point where someone's holding
a club
mod6: (20:46) <+mod6> "First, SD has paid more mining fees than everyone else in the world, combined." << Is this
a lie?
mircea_popescu: maximian mod6 people fail to realise this, but there's
a good reason and great strategic advantage in the girl's fuck you attitude.
mircea_popescu: became like,
a feminist and everything. total tableau.
mircea_popescu: he plays
a tax accountant for the state of florida lol
mircea_popescu: i dunno why it didn't get more traction, should be
a cult classic.
jcpham: mircea_popescu you should partake in -otc for
a bit
BingoBongo: Luke has too well developed though weird sense of ethics for
a DDOS
BitHub: wonder if its gone down
a bit
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Error: "dix" is not
a valid command.
mpexbot: BingoBongo: Error: "OIX" is not
a valid command.
mod6: but the blocksize thing is
a seperate problem.
mpexbot: smickles: Error: "coin" is not
a valid command.
jcpham: specialists with server farms of specialized hardware.
A server farm would
jcpham: network grows beyond
a certain point, it would be left more and more to
BitHub: so you mean just
a mining farm just for SD transactions?
jcpham: that's why i pay
a fee on my txns, because i want them to go through
jcpham: it needs
a pool in its pocket
jcpham: if SD wants its blocks mined it needs to pay
a toll
jcpham:
a problem i think miners should capitalize on
jcpham: if txns aren't going through that's
a problem
BitHub: i had to sit
a cafe for 6 hours just to wait for 1 confirm
BitHub: being
a bunch of cunty's?
BingoBongo: William James, one of maybe three Americans introspective enough about the pecuiar brand of manic misery here to approach
a reasonble target for
a philosopher
mircea_popescu: uand on
a des plaisirs un peu répétés, on peut dans cet espace de tems se dire heureux ; quand ce bonheur dure un peu plus, c'est un état de félicité ; on est quelquefois bien loin d'être heureux dans la prospérité, comme un malade dégoûté ne mange rien d'un grand festin préparé pour lui.
mircea_popescu: Ce qu'on appelle bonheur, est une idée abstraite, composée de quelques idées de plaisir ; car qui n'
a qu'un moment de plaisir n'est point un homme heureux ; de même qu'un moment de douleur ne fait point un homme malheureux. Le plaisir est plus rapide que le bonheur, & le bonheur plus passager que la félicité. Quand on dit je suis heureux dans ce moment, on abuse du mot, & cela ne veut dire que j'ai du plaisir : q
BingoBongo: Rubeta:
a poison derived from the juice of
a frog. Juvenal wrote of
a lady who mingled this kind of poison in wine and presented it to her husband
mircea_popescu: im willing to go on
a limb and say you'll get my point
BingoBongo: Leukemia is easy to treat too. Eat
a bunch of methotrexate and live.
mircea_popescu: you know, back 300 years ago when the encyclopedists came up with the first one, it was
a monument of erudition
mircea_popescu: "Pimples can be treated by various acne medications prescribed by
a dermatologist, or purchased at
a drug store with
a wide variety of treatments."
dub: novels are being written to explain how fees work to
a novice
mircea_popescu: Namworld you'll be able to go something like #post blabla and the bot will answer with an url to
a pastebin with your response.
reddddd: CoinBr also seems to have
a twitter account that could have used an update. There are so many better ways to let customers know what the hell is going on than just IRC.
reddddd: @CoinBr What's the point of having
a support forum if you're not going to use it more major stuff like this?
mircea_popescu: anyweay, the first irc bot should be around in
a few hours i think
Namworld: MPEx is
a bit late on schedule for the upgrades
BingoBongo:
A combination of the two could probably make
a new normal though.
BingoBongo: It's why we could hit 10,000. Coinlab biting off more than they can chew and somehow instead of
a flash crash we get
a flash rally when they are hacked. Also yes your second point.
BingoBongo: Thanks. Have you though about just storing
a copy of the Trilema archive in the namecoin blockchain. I don't think they'd mind.
mircea_popescu: hey, is it the guy who misidentified someone else's bet on bitbet as his own and rose hell here
a few days ago ?
mod6: it is strange though... its like they kick up the ASCIs and grab
a few blocks then turn 'em down to keep the difficulty in check?
Namworld: I need to go in and make
a deposit/trade
