ben_vulpes: learned that turbo machinery is clearly the correct solution
ben_vulpes: piston was for lulzy undergraduate water cooled lfr engine design with reciprocating pistons to pressurize fuel lines
ben_vulpes: actually the waste oil furnace was pretty good
ben_vulpes regards the vast pile of oddities that sorta-worked
ben_vulpes once attempted to fab a piston
asciilifeform: and without shaking the oh-precious princess therein, to death
asciilifeform: like the one where semiconductors are made out of horse shit in medieval castles
asciilifeform: because those are the lands of magical pixies
asciilifeform: we can say a few meaningful things about where it WON'T go
BingoBoingo: "In initial implementations, old nodes which are not yet aware of NODE_BLOOM and use a protocol version < 70011 may still send filter messages to a node without NODE_BLOOM. This feature may be removed after there are sufficient NODE_BLOOM nodes available and SPV clients have upgraded, allowing node operators to fully close the bloom-related DoS vectors."
ben_vulpes: yeah well who knows how the trajectory actually draws through the possibility space
ben_vulpes: gotta kill the megastates first though.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: but that's perfectly pedestrian 'mad max' remnants-of-the-old, rather than ab initio 'for the 15k!1111'
ben_vulpes: ofc one could also do entirely away with the 'cc' part.
ben_vulpes: anyways an entirely viable future is one wherein the various lords with computing gear remaining in the closet operate their own bitcoind variants as local banks, holding chits for the peasants and reconciling over shortwave gpggram
asciilifeform: (where german tanks sank into the earth)
asciilifeform: or to drive same mercedes on ru mud road
asciilifeform: i would like to watch pete_dushenski make a piston for his mercedes without carbide tooling
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: myes, i can see this
asciilifeform: to even contemplate the notion that it doesn't matter, or to suggest that it is anything short of certain, betrays a deep ignorance of the actual making-things business as it stands for the last 200 yr. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: you speak as if it's a certainty, or at least as if it were a certainty, that it'd matter. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i suppose they'd be more expensive, perhaps even too expensive to cost-effectively use.
phf: (what the hell happened to linux ecosystem? 5-th tutorial on "openvpn on linux" is basically "make sure you have file a, file b and file c. now click open in open-gnome-vpn-assistant..") ☟︎
asciilifeform: what do you suppose a tungsten carbide endmill would cost if created by hand in quantity of three ?
asciilifeform: aha! good. do you recall the tooling ?
pete_dushenski: boeing comes to mind
asciilifeform: even as tourist
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i've been wondering, you ever set foot in a factory of whatever type ?
assbot: Mandatory tx fee · Issue #23 · bitcoin-solutions/multibit · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1Zug2xY )
asciilifeform: and if this doesn't look like 'cryptocurrency', don't complain, it is THE logical 'car for the k00l d00dz and not the 15m maggots'
BingoBoingo: My how things have changed from 2014. TMSR has a fallback plan nao: Become Olympus!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it works by ben_vulpes, sultan of brunei, and king of saud, sending each other pgpgrams with signed chits of how many tonnes of plutonium each owes the other. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 16:44:07; ascii_shmoocon: i can think of exactly one: an 'mp-hawala', where mo transacts with the other 17 or so olympians, indeed requires no minerz...
ben_vulpes: hawala, then?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform i'm suffering from a failure of imagination--care to link me to the thread where you explain how a cc would work without miners?
BingoBoingo: In this version, it is only enforced for peers that send protocol versions >=70011 . For the next major version it is planned that this restriction will be removed. It is recommended to update SPV clients to check for the NODE_BLOOM service bit for nodes that report versions newer than 70011." end powerspam ☟︎
BingoBoingo: BIP 111 defines a service bit to allow peers to advertise that they support bloom filters (such as used by SPV clients) explicitly. It also bumps the protocol version to allow peers to identify old nodes which allow bloom filtering of the connection despite lacking the new service bit.
BingoBoingo: lol, they are also bumping protocol version bit: "Support for the NODE_BLOOM service bit, as described in BIP 111, has been added to the P2P protocol code.
pete_dushenski: wouldja look at that... mpex sinks 'bitcoinclassic' and mpoe bust through 53. what a coincidence :P
BingoBoingo amazed that with his new lifestyle he can get a can of decent coffee that last a week and has the same cost as a cheap 5th of vodka
shinohai: I bought a bottle of muscadine wine to pop open the minute mine finally syncs
mod6: instead, just pulled the source and built inside the rotor so it would be built with the gcc/musl that comes with buildroot ☟︎
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 why gdb? systemwide gdb works fine << my gentoo didn't have gdb built via portage, so when I went to build that, it blew up (re: yesterday).
mircea_popescu: very polite, submissive girl too.
mircea_popescu: first step to our own tsmc!

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeh. he was quoting some policeman dude tho
jurov: would be hilarious if they reused my hack
assbot: In an almost totally un-talked about change to the protocol bitcoin now has the innovative feature of just totally throwing away transactions. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1ZEZBnO )
BingoBoingo: Same reason porcupine is decidedly NOT king of the forest
mircea_popescu: you know there;'s a bloodletting coming by the time the fucking footpad imagines himself the baron outright.

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374493 << In Lafondtology 'betters' are a known quantity as well. They attack down so avoid or appease. << oh, lafond himself gets the thing pretty close. it is a class thing. the problem is the speaker, who, like a bunch of his brethren, ended up in this weirdo alt-reality where THEY are the upper class. ☝︎
punkman: does trb relay txs with op_return outputs?
mod6: was able to build v7.10
mod6: just needed to build gdb inside of the rotor, that i think was my problemo.
BingoBoingo: Offensive comments related to ... body size << It's because Gavin's bulking isn't it?
jurov: should i know them?
BingoBoingo: IN other news Selkis is going over to Coindesk since Silbert owns them both.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: No, they 'welcomed' classic which is being classtroturfed into support
shinohai: They seem to be going Classic no?
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Cool. It looks like you have a lead for that F2pool interview you're going to submit to Qntra.
shinohai: "Please send your questions to admin at f2pool dot com. Thanks." macbook-air

BingoBoingo: WHo ever he responds to
mircea_popescu: for the record fooplot.com actually spits out svg's! pretty cool.
BingoBoingo: or you too danielpbarron
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Actually if you just want to interview and so a qntra piece that would be swell
trinque: just gotta get the services rewritten
trinque: I've also rewritten the IRC bot portion, and the new thing knows how to reclaim nick, and generally speaking doesn't suck.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 18:11:36; BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374268 << To get a gpg key registered, and hopefully an interview. Dunno how it would go over because all of his writing I've seen in English seems a bit combative.
trinque: mircea_popescu: thanks. his escape from AWS is in the works.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 07:19:37; BingoBoingo: danielpbarron do either you or shinohai care to invite DiscusFish's macbook-air to channel?

mircea_popescu: ascii_rear isn't that straight out of the tinfoilhat annals ?
ascii_rear: but on the whole, mega-snorecon
ascii_rear: sooo the talk re: power grid in usa using unciphered rf for control was mildly amusing
shinohai: < 1k to go \o/
thestringpuller: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://dpaste.com/0219CV4.txt
mircea_popescu: "cross the imaginary, retrospectively hallucinated '''line'''" bs is worth about as much as the piss it carries.
mircea_popescu: but once you start with "Democratic" and bla bla - guess what. your crazy old uncle is first to be burned at the stake. because you are the servant, and that's how it goes.
mircea_popescu: o protect MY old uncle and cuff the fucking street scum. that's how you may also, and to a lesser degree, take care of yours. that and that only.

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, in their case it's empty blathering. the words they say are the result of what they think would work best as a thing to say, not anything deeper than that. they'd say they believe in cinderella fucking papa bear while riding on a golden broomstick if that's what the focus groups preferred ot hear.
mircea_popescu: prunes until their gullet's deeply satisfied.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 11:08:22; thestringpuller: Bitcoin Classic doesn't even beat around the bush about it being socialist: "Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374299 << there's nothing wrong with that, let them have it, and enjoy its fruits. there's a reason the correct stance is to cater to the comfort of the priviledged and [not incidentally, but deliberatelty and by design] step on the faces of the worthless. but nobody's reequired to accept this as some sort of gospel - let them walk the desert of eating rocks and shitting ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 07:19:37; BingoBoingo: danielpbarron do either you or shinohai care to invite DiscusFish's macbook-air to channel?
mircea_popescu: just more things that never occurred.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 07:15:57; BingoBoingo: A lol re:Classicstroturfing https://twitter.com/AaronvanW/status/688510968050102272 "Email from F2Pool (24% of hash power): "We did not say we 'support' Bitcoin Classic. We used the word 'welcome' to be exact." (More to come)"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374262 <<< the link to "we just read some words mp said" being lost to "everyone", of course. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: did this guy ever do anything other than drive around looking for overturned garbage bins to sit in front of and selfie himself while explaining his theories about how moonrays cause littering and how the owls are to blame for moonrays ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, TOTALLY that's what happened.
mircea_popescu: The price did drop a little, but almost certainly because of Mike's pessimistic statements, not because of that "attack". So the first line of defense failed: it looks like the miners will not be "punished" financially for lifting the size limit -- quite the opposite."
mircea_popescu: "Well BitcoinClassic -- that, according to the Core devs, is a hostile fork -- already has the support of 70% of the miners.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 05:04:54; pete_dushenski: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2Lin1PyZ4jU/hqdefault.jpg << what part of this picture is begging for "infrastructure" ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374174 << the part where they're all siliconed. ☝︎
