PeterL: asciilifeform are
there currently any self-run block explorer programs?
mircea_popescu: well, it's been
time for years now, but
the chinese ain't going away.
mircea_popescu: this was
true before
the age of machine-enabled decay. recall
the "90 yos get
together
to establish what 80 yos should retire"
thing ?
mircea_popescu: hitler, also "grown" for "purpose". ask
that pappen baffoon
mircea_popescu: what ? makes a lot more sense
than half his platform, not
to mention all
the others.
mircea_popescu: with any luck,
trump wins
the election, we get 99 year lease on ft meade and martial law
ten miles around
the perimeter.
mircea_popescu: and fwiw, i doubt anyone has
the money, or had, in
the past century. we're
talking 50bn
turkey dollars here. gates can, at most, make a foundation
to greenhouse little hussein bahamas out in africa.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, i'm at best useful as a seed.
tho from years of reading
the logs it's apparent
to me seed-cultural is actually a lot more sorely needed
than seed-capital, but
that's aside.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? << i don't have enough money
to outright do
this. if i had, i'd be outright doing
this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my idea being
that whatever you call it, both g and
this p will be running a lot of common code in
the cyrpto
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 14:04:37; mircea_popescu: and since i'd rather include
the chip fab, ima support
the horsies being radical.
mircea_popescu: which, in
the grand scheme of
things, is perfectly reasonable. argentina spends about
that every coupla years and has ~icecream and steak
to show for it.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the republic is currently short about
twenty
to fifty billion in filthy fiats and a few
thousand
to
thirty million engineer hours, depending who's counting
the hours. not depending on who's hiring
the engineers
tho, you ~can't hire for
this.
mircea_popescu: and since i'd rather include
the chip fab, ima support
the horsies being radical.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
truly
there's no good reason
to even justify chip fab if you're not going
to do something
that radical.
mircea_popescu: c compiler i suppose will have ~0 chances of happening,
the horsies are pulling
towards lisp.
mircea_popescu: seems altogether likely
the whole keyserver model is getting eaten into g.
mircea_popescu: by and large web based ones have
to prune very narrowly because well... memory.
mircea_popescu: lemme rephrase. "there are more web-based blockexplorer
than
two. why do you say neither."
mircea_popescu: what do you mean neither ?
there's ~500 various web explorers.
jurov: when i
tested my mempool hack, I just dropped any priority requirements
to have mempool filled quickly. I was surprised
there were quite a few spammy
tx
that neither blockexplorer even knew of.
mircea_popescu: "son, don't you want
to marry
this woman ?" "notrly." "well, you should!" "really ?" "yeah. except she's ugly." "well
then ?" "but
the other women are even uglier." "dad, you're really doing a bum job here."
shinohai: I hope you didn't experience
the same catastrophe I did
thestringpuller
thestringpuller: power outage knocked node offline. happy birthday
to me :(
mircea_popescu: in other random lulz, i wake up
to
three notifications from various parties spread about
the world
that
transfers sent yesterday have not made it. upon examination, it's
three
times
the case
that
the fiat world has failed
to move money in 30
to 40 hours.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 05:15:34; ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell nubbins` you're starting
to sound a bit like
tiberius!
mircea_popescu: ftr, "the color of money" is so fucking bad,
tom cruise prolly wrote
the screenplay.
ben_vulpes: but clearly
these are all points
that only dirigible captains may discuss over hawala shortwave.
ben_vulpes: and
to beleabour
the point, ka^H^Hbitbet
the scouting party sacrificed
to establish
the new front.
ben_vulpes: or perhaps
the bitbet rifle is proportionate
to
the value of $item were item btc.
ben_vulpes: perhaps rifle cost is actually proportionate
to value of $item! heck, a month like 7/15 would cover
the loa^Hss.
ben_vulpes: how did blowing
the coins serve
to defend bitbet?
mircea_popescu: one day s.mg is going
to do somethingwild like i dunno, acquire a paper clip. watch out
then.
mircea_popescu: if
the concern
trolls in chan are in fact shareholders and
to any degree representative for shareholder sentiment (which i deeply doubt, but w/e)... oy vey.
mircea_popescu: at
the rate
this is going, bitbet actually needs
to buy a significant pool, which would go for oh... 10-20k ? i guess ?
mircea_popescu: king,
to spend just about enough
to buy half a rifle
to defend $item ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> what out-of-wot advice is
this? and why send
the wire
twice instead of calling your drinking buddies who /use
the same bank/
to ask if /their/ wires are in
the habit of simply not showing up and what
they've done in
the past in
the circumstances <<< you don't mean my drinking buddies who a) would
take ANY explanation just as long as it doesn't mean gotta get off ass and b) would not be willing, broadly spea
☟︎ ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell nubbins` you're starting
to sound a bit like
tiberius!
☟︎ ben_vulpes: perhaps
the cartel got away. perhaps someone else cares
to bet against mircea_popescu's bitcoin prognostications.
ben_vulpes: "what makes bitbet not fairlay" if i understand
the kakobreka-ism
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 15:11:17; nubbins`: did you guys also like how
the 17 btc of mp's own money
that he lost is going
to be
taken from shareholder dividends?
ben_vulpes: bitbet's addresses are not so much public as waved eagerly
to
the world, and mpex' barely advertised, and i'd split my sides laughing at
the notion
there was only
the one public mpex address
ben_vulpes: 'tis quite obvious why
this had
to be done with poor kakobrekla's property and not his own.
ben_vulpes: near as i can
tell, mircea_popescu went
to pop a mining cartel and only caught a sybil.

assbot: Logged on 02-03-2016 18:06:28; mircea_popescu: you know how it sometimes happens
that a platoon gets sent on a random patrol, ends up surprising a moving contingent of enemy, a flurry of radioing and reinforcing and whatnot happens and suddenly
the front is in a new place ?
ben_vulpes: [02:12:30] [mircea_popescu] so
then, upon advice, i sent it separately. and it went
through within half hour. AFTER WHICH somehow
the
txn was magically found, and…
this
time it wasn't dropped from mempool ? what changed since last week, mempool is even bigger now. << most underexamined line in
this whole saga
to date.
TomServo: Lotza motza balls hanging out
there.
TomServo: ben_vulpes: I'm not even sure where
to start.
TomServo: Pretty disappointing show 'round here
today.
BingoBoingo: Anyways here
the only zoning ordinances seriously enforced without neighbor complaints are
those on commercial signage, because marketing sucks
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well just down
the hill from here
there is an arena where motor vehicles and farm equipment engage in gladatorial combat
BingoBoingo hasn't sharpened pencils with sharpener in a long
time.
BingoBoingo: Was going
to do it with arm powered crosscut saw, but probably picking up a reciprocating saw
tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Will only stay in
that condition long enough
to
take a picture.
BingoBoingo: Well,
there's a ~15-20 foot
tree
that grew up as a weed and was neglected. Before
taking it all
the way down will convert it
to pointed stake as I believe alf suggested as an idea in much earlier discussion
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One nugget you may have missed in
the log shitting is
that weather permitting
this week I will attempt
to do
the
tree
to stake conversion for
the art
mircea_popescu: and
the velvet fog aka mel
torme was
this very soppy lounge act / singer mostly on
the old vegas circuit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, cher was a
teenage pop singer chick
that successfully pivoted into a sort of softcore burlesque career pre dita von
teese. also married
to sony bono.
mircea_popescu: ;;google velvet fog best of in autoplay format
that can't be
turned off. ever.
mircea_popescu: and
this my dear alf is how slaves are born on
the planet gor.
mircea_popescu: sometimes if you crack open an acaju nut, a
tiny girl comes out, and you feed her various comestibles and eventually grows up into a slavegirl.
