BingoBoingo: Well now Coindesk lives as
this undead
thing entirely subsumed
to Barry Silber and operated by his mouthpiece Ryan 'TwoBitIdiot' Selkis
thestringpuller: qntra's future will reveal itself in due
time. it's quickly growing, and still young.
thestringpuller: digital marekting will likely implode before
the next decade. look at
the overvaluation of coindesk and coin
telegraph where
the revenue is entirely
that.
BingoBoingo: I dunno how much
to bank on
that.
The web is ever changing
thestringpuller: well ad's prove
to have high CTR, just need a little conversions sprinkled on
that and who knows
BingoBoingo: Maybe next year or five years from now we get a revenue in excess of hosting
that allows for dividends? Who knows?
The future is full of mysteries!
thestringpuller: mpex investors seem
to love paying qntra contributors, so it's doing something right.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: You know if you could do 10 of
these 120 word
things a month
that would be 1200 s.qntr which are redeemable for...
BingoBoingo: The piece's saving grace is
that it was short and
thorough.
danielpbarron: i
turned down
the offer
to sell coin, not because of where it would go so much as because I don't know a reliable way
to replentish my stock (I haven't used coinbase in a long while)
thestringpuller: pre-bitcoin you'd invest in setting up botnet and
then monetize
the botnet. seems now just put
that money into ransomware instead of
the botnet.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: You piece is going up as soon as I harmonize some of
the vocabulary.
danielpbarron: someone recently asked me if i wanted
to sell bitcoin
to someone hit by one of
those
things
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo:
this girl in MO was
telling me she works at a place
that forces windows use. Someone is hit with ransomware weekly.
punkman: he's improving Coffeescript
these days
fluffypony: truly one of
the great minds of
this generation
punkman: loltoomim "What languages do you work in, what's your background in CS?" "I use all languages" "You can't use all languages!" "Well I dunno, I haven't used Haskell or OCaml, but everything else I can
think of..."
assbot: Michael
Toomin explains his meltdown, and
the structure of Bitcoin Classic (45 min in!) : Bitcoin ... (

that
this
thread has already
taken up more space
than
the patch.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
There won't be an 11 or an XI.
The branding isn't as good as X
ben_vulpes: is
that a head and shoulders or death cross or some other
technical
trading
thing?
ben_vulpes: os 10 is an operating system for
today, not forever
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: With same language you can program
the
two best portable computers ever.
The
TI-89 and
the
TI-92
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i determined
tonight
that 10.6 is entirely unuseable
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: heh okay you got a laugh out of me with
that
BingoBoingo: Who needs boost when you have
the full expressive power of motorola 68k assembly?
pete_dushenski: eed for so much supply, and in fact accelerating bitcoin's achievement of 51% of global supply at a ~lower~
total supply
than at present.
pete_dushenski: disneyesque animalia as. changing gruntwork jobs (which is what power generation is), ceretis paribus, doesn't matter in
the slightest
to
the global ecological footprint. if anything, as bitcoin mining grows into even
the double-digits of global power use, it will create a scarcity of electricity for non-mining uses, driving up prices in
those other domains,
thus decreasing less essential usage, decreasing
the n

this makes no sense. if your gf is a secretary and she moves from paper company (A)
to another paper company (B) of
the same size and just as far from home and for
the same pay (but without
that bitch midge from accounts payable),
the paper industry will make no more "evil ghg", nor kill more fuzzy penguins or whatever it is you imagine anthropomorphised
☝︎ BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I'll have you know
that in
the cleaning I've done since last message I dusted a perfectly good machine capable of running OS 7, if only I'd plug in in and
the caps haven't gone pop since October when I last plugged it in...
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 00:28:44; mircea_popescu: now a dog you can't
trust!
pete_dushenski: "first
they came for isis for using pgp, but i did nothing.
then
they... oh wait.
they couldn't so anything against isis anyways so what sort of nyooz is
this!"
danielpbarron: i would
think it's easier
to make a real key and decrypt an actual message
than
to fake
the whole
thing in video editing but
then again I have a dedicated gpg machine and not a video editing one. USG probably has
the opposite
pete_dushenski: ah well
then. maybe it was just another lulzy idea
that was in fact a
thinly veiled hatchet job. alas.
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 00:10:21; asciilifeform: danielpbarron: and why would message
text be in english
pete_dushenski: and i just searched for
the key id listed
there, neither 1650H76 nor 1658OH76 yielded any hits. but
then again, why should it ? (aside from
the comedic value)
☟︎ pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-01-2016#1384621 << looks like
this part of
the message is... inside
the message. so not pgptron's doing. still, why ? allahusnackbar only knows, but given
that
they're all probably mega-crypto noobs, it's not inconceivable
to imagine
this note's use case, even it seems beyond retarded
to (i expect) everyone here.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: i am now apparently engaged in an exercise
to determine what
the oldest version of os x is
that can be beaten into supporting software development
BingoBoingo imagines ghetto wildlife relocating
to Portland where
they
tend
to be welcomed
mats: i'm not so sure
the wildlife will agree
BingoBoingo: Not a disaster, would actually solve
the mine subsidence problem in a lot of areas
mod6: yeah,
there will be a
time when discussions will start around a project like
this.
BingoBoingo: I figure 1993 flood level presents a decent reservoir
target
mod6: oh yeah, looking at
that one, is huge.
BingoBoingo: If Bitcoin needs half of ALL
the watts it's going
to have
to happen
BingoBoingo: I'm
talking make 3 gorges look like Hennepin island
mod6: around here, and especially in southern MN & all over Iowa
they have HUGE wind
turbines in place.
mod6: ah, yah, im sure bigger and better ones would be a good
thing, at some point.
BingoBoingo: Those dams are weak
though. I'm
talking south of
the Ohio river confluence
mod6: there are dams already,
there is one I was just looking at in minneapolis while standing outside in -20 weather. looked reasonable
to me! haha.
BingoBoingo: mod6: When do you
think it would make sense
to dam
the Mississippi river
to generate hydroelectric power for mining?
☟︎☟︎ mod6: alright,
the DER patch has been sent
to
the ML:
BingoBoingo: ^ i.e.
the
testing on exotic hardware appears
to be fading
BingoBoingo: stop
them, in order
to ship.
Those
two
to
three months
time, it's a lot
BingoBoingo: early before
the release.
There were already
times, where I had
to
BingoBoingo once he completes
the re-reading list would like
to publish a book, or at least a lecture series
title "The Will
To Hodl"
☟︎ mod6: one line at a
time.
mod6: we'll get
there, just gotta keep driving
towards our goals.
mod6: i can work on
that
tonight.
mod6: hmm. so
then, I believe if i remove
the
tabs from my S-patch and leave
the spaces ~in~,
then it'll look more like Mr. P.'s patch he put
together.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform well, if
there's no consensus,
there's no consensus and
there it goes. <+mircea_popescu> poor mod6 gets no week off! << ok so no consensus on
the space/tabs issue at
this
time.
mircea_popescu: "what happens if a miner includes a bogus
tx you say ? oh,
the other miners would never extend
that chain!" "wait, didn't
those same other miners extend a chain
that failed
the rulechange
they supposedly voted for ?" "sfyl".
mircea_popescu: ("Note
that even level 6 does not do signature/script checking." is prolly
the best part in all of
that junk.)
mircea_popescu: prolly
to celebrate someone's girlfriend's success in dieting.
mircea_popescu: then later went from $$$___MAGIC_nUmBeR...you are not expected
to understand how
this works...ReBmUn_CIGAM___$$$ = 2500
to $$$___MAGIC_nUmBeR...you are not expected
to understand how
this works...ReBmUn_CIGAM___$$$ = 288
mircea_popescu: -checkblocks=<n> How many blocks
to check at startup (default: 288, 0 = all)
mircea_popescu: was a flurry of "build confidence & establish
trust" activity cca 2011 / early 2012.
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> so.
they
took out verifyall in core bitcoind and replaced it with -reindex. -reindex doesn't disregard checkpoints. or at least no one knows if it does or not. how do
these people have Ph.D's and shit? << -reindex and -verifyall are
two different
things.
ben_vulpes: polarbeard: huh i had no idea editors needed plugins
to do
that
