mod6: I'd even say TomServo or thestringpuller would be good candidates
as well. Any wot regs.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, currently nodes only need disk ; cpu is wasted. ideally a node should use both, so that it makes sense to keep boxes
as relay nodes.
mircea_popescu: it does. i specifically left the "hashing" undefined. it can be defined so both use sha3. or first stays
as is and 2nd sha3. etc.
mircea_popescu: BOTH hash 1 and hash 2 have to be under a number to qualify
as a found block.
mircea_popescu: ok. so currently, for every block being mined : a header is calculated ; to this a nonce is added, the combine hashed. the resultant hash has to be smaller than a number to qualify
as a found block.
mod6: i like what i've read, more analysis and discussion of implementation decisions are required for sure. i think we'll get there
as this thread continues over the next 45 days.
BingoBoingo: I know places where actual food happens seasonally and mass food is recycled in the fields though the Corn Cycle. I rightly can't believe the Coast or Death phenomenon
as anything other than a form of Stockholm syndrome.
BingoBoingo: Ok, I just suggest it because I know few things
as refreshing for the mind
as digging into an especially lulzy incident for qntra.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch
as he steal speaks of "its money", orlov doesn't actually get the turkey dollars thing. he earnestly thinks that there is ONE kind of usdollar, and PART of that one is "wasted". whereas the situation in the field is that there's two kinds, ands the bezzle part can only be bezzled with.
mircea_popescu: these are
as far
as i've seen the two mindbugs of the republic : a) A -> B therefore B-> A, ie backflow ; and b) the above.
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 11:21:59; thestringpuller: you ever read mimsy and the borogoves? short sci-fi story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym for CL Moore and some other person that wrote
as a duo)
mircea_popescu: "Fix the motherfucking code before you have to be fired. To recap : a. If I want to make 1 Mb txs I make 1 Mb txs ; b. correct inputs are selected to feed the outputs
as if a human or better was doing the selecting." << also march,
as fate would have it.
mircea_popescu: because it clearly IS part of the books, right ? trivially enumerable,
as it is. just not easy to evaluate.
mircea_popescu: so tell me,
as a curio : what is the correct accounting for "city having subway" in the books of a donut shop at the corner of 85th and 10th ?
trinque: adlai: your deed will send
as soon
as this thing reimports its key into the wallet for the 30th time
mircea_popescu: so your idea is, that we of course continue to maintain trb
as is, but also develop a keccak pow variant, for use in case of forks ? or vice-versa, in case of forks develop it ?
mircea_popescu: (and generally i dunno why this shortcircuit between facts and judgement became fashionable here, seems much too close to the habits of the "independent" demographic for comfort. trust me, if i want to say x i will say it in those exact words,
as i have without exception to date. saying i don't know x means i do not know. and similarly, here, and so on. i totally can speak for myself, say what i mean etc.)
mircea_popescu: yes, schelling point to continue, yes with the same idiots/geniuses
as before, and thus at a lower adoption interest.
adlai:
as opposed to "let's make our new blocks incompatible"
adlai: which is possible to launch
as a miner-only fork, which nodes can choose to enforce, but don't have to; and then at some later date, all nodes enforce it, and miners know they must keep enforcing it, too.
adlai: asciilifeform: mircea's suggestion is implementable
as a soft fork.
adlai: ok, i also like that idea, although
as you said yourself, it's not fully baked yet. i also like that it can be initially opt-in, with an ultimatum that it gets 'hardened' by some date, if it hasn't 'softened' by then.
adlai: asciilifeform: "port" in the loose sense of the word. let's rephrase that
as "some poor code monkey should write a keccak vpatch for trb, but nobody should ever have to use it"
adlai: yet a precise interferometer is about
as feasible
as a trustworthy kyristor
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i guess let them live in ignorance
as long
as said ignorance doesn't interfere with the adults?
thestringpuller: you ever read mimsy and the borogoves? short sci-fi story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym for CL Moore and some other person that wrote
as a duo)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: might
as well say "it's because pogos", which would be equally flattering just in a different direction and otherwise equally afield.
mircea_popescu: yes, various derps on poorly connected boxes still play with it. this is about
as relevant to the discussion
as considering what machines aspiring webcomic designers use when discussing pixar or something.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-03-2016#1433659 << i dunno why you think this odd.
as far
as my experience goes, 100% of english language literature (long before the days orwell quit and his naive, square jawed colonial subjects took over the pretense of empire) is exactly this "here are our assumptions, which clearly paint us
as utterly and hopelessly stupid, let's lampshade it and carry on". i don't think by n

☟︎ adlai wonders about his own predicament; people keep telling him to blog about it, but,
as the latin teacher said when asked why he gave up correcting people's mispronounciation of his name: "I hate people"
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda waiting for the lulzy moment when "the community" decides he's you know, religious nut bla bla, then it's revealed he hangs out just fine with flaming iconoclasts such
as yours truly, famous stake-in-butt practitioners like alf, sunni muftis like yourself, cascadians and what other scandalous outrages there be in this here menagerie
mircea_popescu: shoot
as many
as you'd like, the sort of sniveling cur that'd become a preacher is abundently provided by the perl cunt.
mircea_popescu: in other news - something that appears
as a legitimate outfit from rochester, new york ( thepremierpartners.com ) has apparently managed to lose control over its [email] servers, because they're now sending run of the mill "due bill.doc" spam but from
http://dpaste.com/2MV15W2 it seems to be actually sent by them.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:26; phf: nubbins`: it's a shame that you chose this approach for your denouncement. some people are here (myself, maybe ascii) not to make money, but to fuck around with novel ways of doing things. it would've been nifty if,
as a "lord" if you will, you picked up the game and made your accusations formal, maybe solicited a judge from the wot, made it interesting somehow! you don't have to obviously, but the approach tha
adlai for once, shuts himself up, to go sleep. putting preorders for morning popcorn, please keep the logs a-churnin (but do read them, too many idiots showing up here asking for summaries
as though people are paid to write them)
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 22:22:18; phf: but
as an advertisement platform for mpex and steady stream of income for investors i don't see ~anything~ wrong with bitbet. my current interpretation is that a lot of various people overreacted and a sure thing was killed.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 21:44:17; asciilifeform: anyway my original point was that much of what we think of
as 'tmsr economy' is not actually tmsr in any reasonable sense of the word, in that it is not effected by folks having a wot presence, nor does it even have so much
as iceberg tip in the public forum.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 21:26:03; phf: jurov: you're right, there's not much that can be done
as far
as bickering. i find some of the positions rather petty or outright alarmist, but i can't keep people from talking. i'm only thinking that an arbitration procedure could produce tldr that at the very least will focus the attention.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 21:21:59; asciilifeform: bbet was ~the~ bet machine,
as far
as i'm concerned, fwiw, and now there is none.
mircea_popescu: (none of this is to say that one ~oughtn't~ try. sure, one ought to try. but also understand that this is exactly like "one ought to try and fuck every woman that can walk within his visual radius". in a veeeheheheheeery theoretical principle, sure. in practice - there is such a thing
as penis friction blisters.)
mircea_popescu: and yes - for
as long
as pick one and you carefully sit under its umbrella, never leaving that domain "it works for me!". except we're in bitcoin specifically to see what's out there.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 21:17:09; asciilifeform: given
as it was structured in such a way that ANY unexpected ding would destroy it utterly unless carried by that month's profit.
mircea_popescu: because yes, the thing
as it worked is STILL a major improvement over traditional gambling anything, and there's no sane reason i could possibly see that bitbet wouldn't carry a majority of the world's 10bn to 1 trn dollars worth of yearly prop betting.
solrodar: my personal standing is irrelevant,
as interested buyers are likely to already be familiar with the site
mircea_popescu: so you're going to try
as a package first, then just the domain on a 2nd pass, and advertise this on forums - how many, which, do you have good standing accounts in any (which) or is this going to be just some drive-by spam thing ?
mircea_popescu: well, what do you contemplate setting
as a fee and what sort of time interval do you see this taking roguhly speaking ?
jurov: apparently you intended bitbet
as a tool to establish The Order in bitcoin, while kakobrekla unawares thought it's usual business
mircea_popescu: obody's thanking anyone for giving up his spleen to MAKE UP the ground on which he walks - it's just ground, a given, forget about it) you want to credit rather than charge, so
as to give things a chance.
humanoidity: kakobrekla: didn't imply you needed them, but getting other knowledgeable folks' opinion on a particular situation doesn't strike me
as unreasonable.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 21:20:43; asciilifeform: i won't bet so much
as a satoshi at a betmoose or fairlay or whatever other wotless wild derpery.
BingoBoingo: But so long
as alf doesn't get to telecommute from Ohio, everything to rent bezzle
thestringpuller: does company get lent credit and just book the bill
as an expense? it's probably justifiable if done in a way where shareholders still get to see ~some~ profit monthly, but company doesn't go bankrupt paying of credit.
thestringpuller: phf: so zero assets is obviously an oversight << since corporation doesn't hold any cash outside of "day to day operations" and all profit is distributed, dealing with credit is tricky. what if company needs to buy a foo-machine but is too expensive to book
as a one time expense?
jurov: it was presented
as business expense to be carried by shareholders' future profits
phf: humanoidity: safety interpretation is between you and your counterparties. 750.4btc,
as of right now all in their corresponding addresses

jurov: in any case, thanks for the analysis. you're welcome to put it together
as qntra post-mortem, and hopefully get more than $25
