ascii_butugychag: ess, and bulletproof vests, at least one of which had Secret Service markings and
thus is believed
to have been stolen from
the government. '
ben_vulpes: but yeah phf's sprouting some lovely
tooling
ascii_butugychag: ncluding one
that Bridges created on October 28, 2015 after he had pleaded guilty in
this case; a Samsung cell phone; and a
thumb drive. Also located in
those bags were documents relating
to his wife’s, Ariana Esposito’s, attempts
to obtain citizenship in another country. Government agents also found a MacBook with
the serial number scratched off, an ipad
tucked between a bedroom mattr
ascii_butugychag: 'During
the execution
that warrant, and based on facts
that remain under seal before
this Court,
the government recovered
the following items:
two “pelican style” bags which contained: identity documents; a passport card in Bridges’ name; a notarized copy of Bridges’ passport; corporate records for at least 3 different offshore entities ranging from Nevis
to Belize
to Mauritius, i
ben_vulpes: well polarbeard likes
to pretend as
though i don't exist until he finally does what i ask, and even
then refuses
to ping me on
the
topic.
mircea_popescu: i have never witnessed anything like
this before. if i were not-here i'd be pretty fucking scared.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can you believe
the deploy
times of
tmsr incidentally ?
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 19:14:39; ascii_butugychag: phf: your viewer is mighty spiffy, it is exactly what i wanted
to make in september (and never had
time)
BingoBoingo: Anyways much more news
today
than late last month. 4 newses and a report in
the first 22 hours of February.
mircea_popescu: its ok, im just going
to read more of
this guy's -printf +printf.
BingoBoingo: But spz.
to prison on Friday, arrested
Thursday so who knows what's actually happpening
BingoBoingo: Probably for reasons related
to "trained experts" in german rapes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dunno
that much yet, even
though he was arrested last week word is just emerging
this week.
pete_dushenski: your proposal
to increase block size pretty much seals
this
theory ;)
assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 16:37:35; asciilifeform: let's have a programmer, of some skill, no social net, no savings, pays 100K rent
to make 120K in some godforsaken saltmine, in usa
danielpbarron: lol, it's from
the Bible.. it's common everywhere. and no I'm born and raised in Connecticut
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes notrly, had lovage seeds courierred and
that was
the last
thing.
danielpbarron: (it doesn't matter who actually submits
the deed, as long as it's blessed with WoT sig)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: shall we
try? anything you want from
the states?
mircea_popescu: actually now
that macri murdered
their black market, maybe
the borders open and i can mail you some or some shit.
ben_vulpes: at
this rate
the only
time i'm going
to come back is with a 5 yo and a 2 yo
to escape election season
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you ever end up in here again ima buy you a pound of
this stuff :D
mircea_popescu: it's a little place with no particular name down by
the end of santa fe
ascii_butugychag: i know of no reason
to suspect
that anybody on
the planet is mining with any method other
than brute force.
felipelalli: <mircea_popescu> how is a bitfield in
the gpg key help you in case you die ? or lose control of
the key ? neither of
these are
time-able events. << well,
thank you.
mircea_popescu: i've never had coffee
this good, and i lived in fucking costa rica!
mircea_popescu: i bought 2 kgs of costa rican cofee. place now smells like
the end of
the fucking world.
ascii_butugychag: interestingly, i fully expected, from 2010 on, folks
to gnaw on
the leather straps of sha256
mircea_popescu: on
that expertise, and more importantly on
those suddenly opened eyes, more good stuff can be built.
mircea_popescu: it will also be proof
that in point of fact 80% of cpu could go away.
ascii_butugychag: other
than
the basic fact of it being a caltrop against folks who want
to 'lose'
the blockchain, i mean
mircea_popescu: you don't see how it's a step or how it's
the right direction ?
mircea_popescu: if
that were
to happen because we made it happen i'd be so happy.
ascii_butugychag: just pointing out
that 80-90% of an x86 die is
there because winblowz, really
mircea_popescu: "everything seems ripe for
the picking
to
the man with a good pickaxe"
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag do you see
the side benefit
to
this happening ?
mircea_popescu: well... it is "closer
to
the origianl vision" at any rate.
ascii_butugychag: actually i must disagree with one point - general-purpose, e.g., x86, cpu, is full of so much crud
that asicization is economical and quite inevitable
PeterL: is mining on server farms better
than mining on asics?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the shifting decides
that. if you make
the shifting very low, mining as an activity seen
today disappears altogether -
the digest is much more expensive
than
the hashing.
mircea_popescu: PeterL nobody who wants a bitcoin-without-the-bitcoin
thing would like
that proposal.
that's fundamentally why it's
there,
to readily distinguish people seeking
to help from people seeking
to help us hang ourselves.
PeterL: so
then people who have full nodes are
the front half of
the mining pool, and
the back half remains about what it is now
mircea_popescu: or just graph
the demand curve for digests in units of
time delta block finds in your head and see.
mircea_popescu: PeterL
there's a selection of different people
there but ok.
PeterL: I guess instead of having one pool doing block hashing, you would have
two pools connected, one doing
the block hashing and one doing
the bitmap hashing?
PeterL: seems like it would be easier
to run your own node for your minerfarm
than
to buy from other people?
PeterL: people who want
to do lightweight /
trimmed blockchain would not like
the proposal
ascii_butugychag: i must agree with
the rando commenter, i have nfi why anybody would 'buy from nodes'
PeterL: well, "everyone" being
the people commenting on your blog
assbot: The necessary prerequisite for any change
to
the Bitcoin protocol on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag exactly. a very minimal sort of
thing.
mircea_popescu: schmidty
the idea is
that you're supposed
to press your own dogma so
to speak.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i can see it. sorta 'shit
test', anyone who proposes any fork which refuses it, has
to answer for himself
PeterL: schmidty
there is
the wiki, wiki.bitcoin-assets.com
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag note
that it's not my scheme not a coin nor anything. it's just a minimum bar.
jurov upgrading shit
to win10, near
the end it shows big banner "All your files are exactly where you left
them".
schmidty: has anyone ever aggregated
the viewpoints here into a sort of dogma or similar for
the new followers?
schmidty: good
to be here. still considering myself in purgatory given my lack of homework over
the logs. i hope
to some day join
the ranks, still
trying
to frame it all up in my mind.
ascii_butugychag: BingoBoingo: ' pledging
to sink any hard fork proposal without making
these changes' --> ... 'that does not include
these changes' ?
thestringpuller: the rule of
thumb "fits in head" helps with
the notion of owning device which when understood could "fit in head".
thestringpuller: reminds of allegory of
the cave. if all you know is being priest cock, why would you
think something else exist.
ascii_butugychag: let's put it
this way,
they have priests already, and
the latter are spinning
the flock on
their cocks like propellers.
thestringpuller: trust
the priest until he diddles your son during sunday school?
ascii_butugychag: and folks who cannot, or will not, attempt said understanding, will have
to find
themselves a priest, yes.
ascii_butugychag: the
trick here is
that
the proposition
that you could actually understand a device
that you own, is a hard sell
to a great many folks
thestringpuller: Isn't
this fundamental
to achieving some sort of ~actual~ security?
thestringpuller: "Do you not understand how a web of
trust functions, or why?"
thestringpuller: yes, but
these people get put in charge of sekuriteee and it makes me wonder "how?"
ascii_butugychag: having it with somebody who understands nothing of how his civilization is put
together,
to whom flashlight, pc, boeing, are equally magical - is a snore.
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: next
time
try & have
the argument with a literate man, who can grasp how, e.g., flashlight works
thestringpuller: told him of cardano, and was like "well how are you going
to
trust cardano",
to which I replied with
the parable of soldier maintaining own AK-47
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: Got into argument with netsec
team leader at work.
ascii_butugychag: and if kaspersky really did sign off on
this cheap p.t.barnumism, it really must be spent, for good.
