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
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: if faced with ru roads, i'd drive g-wagon,
as ru'ians do.
pete_dushenski: you speak

as if it were a certainty, that it'd matter.
☟︎ 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.
BingoBoingo amazed that with his new lifestyle he can get a can of decent coffee that last a week and has the same cost

☟︎☟︎ 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.

thestringpuller: none at all, but does serve

thestringpuller: and the cartel is run
as a shady Triad-wannabe type of operation. Insane markups on retail, shitty products, extremely late delivery.
thestringpuller: "An interesting non-technical objection is that because nodes and miners who haven’t adopted the soft fork end up in the main chain anyway, this is a case of a majority undemocratically forcing a minority to adopt new policies. Of course, it’s your choice to use a protocol with this feature! Satoshi could have just
as easily written Bitcoin to treat unknown block versions
as invalid, but choose not too." << Uh huh.

mod6: 1]: with version 99997 create (by hand) a ~/.wot directory and populate it with keys named
as their irc-nick and .asc, like: mod6.asc or asciilifeform.asc
mod6: i'm not really talkinga bout the pressing.
as i was saying to ben, i checked all of my pressings by final output hash & have automated tests that check & ensure this outcome is correct.
mod6: from those discussions, I'm under the impression that the ordering of the flow doesn't exactly have to be the exact same,
as long
as the pressing is the exact same.

mircea_popescu: for
as long
as they make
as much difference
as rats, they can also multiply
as rats.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but the ONLY difference is that instead of cox writing 10k 50 dollar bills for cable each month, a coupla hundred people sign off on cable bills worth 10k dollars each once a year. and the internet is twice
as good. << Kinda why US municipalities with good internet have a maximum size.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-01-2016#1373607 << it's the same money, but in fewer hands. think of it this way : currently, there's 10`000 "family units" in town X making "the decision" to buy cable.
as a result... there's two shitty companies and a de facto monopoly. transform those families into slaves and servants. they no longer get their own house, but live in the house oftheir masters, at their disposals

mircea_popescu: letting bitfury & friends eat 100mn in unrecoupable engineering costs would provide exactly the correct lesson
as to what it's a good idea to say and when it's a good idea to shut the fuck up and toe the line.
jurov: when did you start considering headcount
as a measure?
jurov: what is hard to imagine, how to achieve this together with profit
as a motive
pete_dushenski: with the amount of fiat sloshing around, it's hard to imagine this niche-or-nothing/15k-only approach coming to dominate industries and manufacturing sectors any time soon, but the thermodynamics do point to this
as a far more (whisper it) sustainable solution
jurov: for the gasoline the difference in availability does not cause big problem. but
as the tech stack up, the effect multiplies
jurov: well, i don't see the "trickle down"
as optional
pete_dushenski: the gasoline infrastructure that exists also has no reason to go anywhere
as long
as there's a market to support it
mod6: basically checking the mechanics to ensure that the resulting output was the same. this gave me confidence that my toposort was functioning
as it should.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> for instance, in the flow ordering it doesn't really matter which comes first: maxint_locks_corrected or add_verifyall
as long
as they both come after their respective antecedents. << This threw me for a loop the first time.

ben_vulpes: mod6: im still a bit unclear
as to what "precedence levels" refers
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> what do you mean "precedence levels" <<
as long
as this is met. meaning that certain things come before other things.

jurov: i'm not taking anything for last year, consider it
as my tax payment
mircea_popescu: be that
as it may, i'm going to take the girls out to eat, and so we can continue later !
mircea_popescu: jurov seems the trade'll unwind. in fairness, you can't at the same time try to snipe bids you like, and be upset you don't see
as many
as you decided you need.
mircea_popescu: jurov lettuce not be naive. the alternatives here aren't the alternatives we perceive we would prefer. it's either he's a free man and does it
as such, or else he's a peon like al schwatz describes in that very well written piece.
jurov: oh, i am already doing it

mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to things : 1. a thriving middle class means very strictly, ruined-usg-everything
as well
as scandalously oppressed orcs. this is what it means, this is what'll happen because middle class is not negotiable.
BingoBoingo: I'm already trying to unlearn it

as if obviously his did,
mircea_popescu: review the discussion of buffett's fraudulent pretenses
as to "the low tax".
jurov: no political bickering will change the fact that engineering has huge fixed costs that are best split to

as possible
jurov: it would struck them
