mircea_popescu: phungus> the original "Behind the Back Door" < you mean green door ?
mircea_popescu: <dub> im sure google is happy to "protect" any content they can <<
mircea_popescu: you're probably going to get great ods, as she was wiped this year in au open, rg, wimbledon and us open. she goes like 1st 1st 2nd 4th
mircea_popescu: wiped her in the finals twice i think. or mebbe three times
mircea_popescu: funny thing is, serena williams is prolly her personal nemesis
mircea_popescu: she probably gets laid about as much as the average computer geek does.
mircea_popescu: also i just negged the labcoin bash because it's banal and unfunny
mircea_popescu: you get to spend a lot of time pondering anal prolapse.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla lmao at XVII + nineteen = on the bash site.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so upon research the entire "luke-jr attacked litecoin" thing boils down to, back in april luke had no idea i had put the kaibosh on mtgox at the secret march meeting. thus he got all excited upon hearing mtgox intends to go die into altcoin heaven, and started a campaign of wiki editing and trolling the ltc dev chan. he didn't actually 51% ltc or anything.
mircea_popescu: this was the most amusing instance of being trolled while i know im being trolled.
mircea_popescu: will the protocol support recursion in the workfunction ?
mircea_popescu: do you have any idea how hard this'd be to implement ?
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr yes, but only in the naive perspective. "oh, maybe things never happen". memory still was the cheapest use of silicon even before the sha256d was actually implemented.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 1st fellow to bake an altcoin that's actually interesting will win (something.) << he'll win my attention, for sure.
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking naive goal it's what it is. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: all this delicious drama going to waste unknown. no wonder the alt coins aren't going anywhere.
mircea_popescu: MTBmanTT the inca cola example controls. they're there just in case you run out of coke somehow.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr since you mention them, do you also know the drama re charles guy quitting invictus ?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea. perhap a coin without the reward halving would win out on that score.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 people say many things. meanwhile, 16gb boards aren't too expensive
mircea_popescu: while it's a good idea to try it so it's trioed, im convinced demurage is a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr depends how hardcore do yo uwant to get. one could say bitcoin isn't really a bitcoin either, just a dumb prototype.
mircea_popescu: obviously idiots flock there just like they flock to btc. ltc has the disadvantage that it gets all the idiots that got broken uin btc, too
mircea_popescu: MTBmanTT basically it makes sense on some level to have a reserve implementation.
mircea_popescu: well i guess more research is needed here. i can't readily point to proof.
mircea_popescu: by the same rationale, a good pricing for the radeons would be 50 cents a piece.
mircea_popescu: now i understand whty all the noob fury for pushing ltc : it allows them to live the illusion that their worthless gear is to be counted at 450 a board.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the notion that 1k diff is worth 10mn in gear is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 i've not been paying much attention to ltc since prolly 2012
mircea_popescu: so it'd cost me what, 0.1 btc/hour to maintain a 51% attack on ltc indefinitely ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake Luke-Jr became famous through doing the same thing coupla years ago. or trying... i don't recall if he succeeded.
mircea_popescu: eh forget it. ltc is not to blame that it attracts idiots.
mircea_popescu: lol @best marketing phrase. what is it, litecoin makes your tits float ?
mircea_popescu: <pigeons> its not the first scrypt coin with no premine, that was fairbrix, and coblee started litecoin cause fairbrix got 51%ed too many times << few know this
mircea_popescu: (the oglaf comic was per my instructions for instance hehe)
mircea_popescu: because all of the people who said ripple rocks on a forum
