mircea_popescu: because one hour i spent in
the ro vault, which is a
tiny affair, saw
three
transfers underway.
mircea_popescu: do you imagine
this bullion
thing as it "Should be" or do you have direct experience ?
mircea_popescu: it IS
technically possible we still see
technological progress.
ascii_field: all
the world's bullion
transfers, if written out as a log, would
they even fill 1MB in a year?
ascii_field: but overall i just don't see
this future where mega-blocks are a necessary
thing
jurov: i had an idea based on fees/volume (increase only when
that ratio gets outrageous) but first waiting
to see what actually happens
mircea_popescu: otherwise it costs you like
the first blk0001 cost you 500gb
mircea_popescu: well, it only costs you if not filled onlyt if
tyou biutcoinfs
ascii_field: aha but he only has
to fill
the blocks
to
the brim for a finite
timespan,
to result in forever heavier max size
williamdunne: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski would you mind
telling me which posts? Sorry I've not been keeping on
top of scoop so much.
Tryna find someone who can put up some money
to get my
time-sink launched
ascii_field: but
the fact of
the ratcheting means
that $largeint (which enemy can print) can be used
to shoot
the storage difficulty (let's call block size
this!)
to
the sky
mircea_popescu: if "enemy" holds a significant portion of
the last 1% of blocks mined, how is he
the enemy.
mircea_popescu: my position being very much like ascii_field's : not clear
this is needed and dubious it's a good idea before
the
two get hanged. but op may disagree ? i dunno.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: imho
the algo as written here is disastrously bad
jurov runs
to snatch bitcoinica sources
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 09:12:53; mircea_popescu: a function
that, after each retarget, allows blocks as large as say 1.01x
the average actual size of
the blocks in
the 2k batch for instance.
williamdunne: Sorry, I meant
they've been doing it previously
williamdunne: What we need is an exchange
that will enable margin
trading of btc/gbtc
mircea_popescu: ascii_field as
to
the later, no reason. as
to
the former, no idea. i suffer from
the disease of all cerebral beings, of enjoying
the consideration of abstract problems in no direct relation
to
their practical utility.
ascii_field: learn
to love
the spam. how else is
the paid relay
thing supposed
to happen.
shinohai: Careful,
they might spend all
the 0.05 BTC
they hold per person.
jurov: thus mightily enabling
the
trade
jurov: nubbins`: i
think
the derps will
try
to spam btc
to make people switch
to xtc,
nubbins`: fair
trade if xtc is
the future.
nubbins`: ^ any
troo beeleevers wanna
take me up on it?
nubbins`: [16:24:31] <nubbins`> bounce:
the idea is you'd create a 10mb
transaction sending out xtc
to your buyers, in return
they push small
tx sending you same amount in btc
nubbins`: this is akin
to
the declaration of independence being written in 18pt comic sans
nubbins`: "we need
to make
this new subreddit STAT. we literally do not have 3 minutes
to make a new header.
take
the old one and ph0t05h0p it"
punkman: kakobrekla: plz
to remove assbot,
the people have spoken
punkman: "That
the community communication channels,
the repositories, and any other likewise bitcoin assets, are public property and owned by
the community as a whole, not any one single individual nor a very small group of people. All steps must be
taken
to allow full access
to every individual
to
these assets and
to reduce fully or
to
the absolute minimum any and all barriers
to any and all access of
these assets. " heh
☟︎ nubbins`: it looks like
they literally copied
the /r/bitcoin header, magic-wand-selected
the background, paint-bucketed it blue,
tacked on "xt" and saved it as a jpeg
☟︎ nubbins`: wonder who made
the header logo, hearn?
ascii_field: danielpbarron: what did you expect it
to be? a magical recipe for escaping
the cattle corral ?
danielpbarron: the whole piece reads
to me like "this is how
to be good obiedient
tax cattle"
☟︎ danielpbarron: jurov,
that
thing i linked about
taxes and dropbox is by someone in here: wilbns
ascii_field: punkman: why go far?
the ubiquitous 'RAR' does something quite like
this
shinohai: This is
the most entertaining Monday on reddit in some
time.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 15:47:07; assbot: Using ambient sound as a
two-factor authentication system | Naked Security ... (

chetty: *
trinque wipes his ass// just like a real one
jurov: maybe it's just buttcoiners
trolling. but only maybe
ascii_field: 'That we
the people have final say on any and all matters
that concern bitcoin
the protocol and bitcoin
the community.' << mega-l0l
thestringpuller: "file history" <<
then slap git ontop of it and call it day?
trinque: I use cron-job rsync wherever other folks might use dropbox or
the like
chetty fondly recalls filing
taxes on a postcard
thestringpuller: trinque: says rsync as I'm installing it and conetmplating it for
take unrelated
to channel
trinque: but as ascii_field observed a while back,
they do
that so you have
the opportunity
to fuck up before
them
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 22:45:48; mircea_popescu: because
the job where you ask questions you don't know
the answer
to is in science not in humanities.
trinque: chetty: I've long lamented
that
they don't just "file your
taxes" for you
chetty: the mystery is why
the irs wants yu
to provide documents it already has
jurov: i did convert one dude
to self-hosted seafile, but otherwise, meh.
chetty: well nothing wrong with dropbox for most people, usg and any hacker
that wants it already owns it
jurov: you will sooner explain
to some people your faith
than "why not dropbox"
kakobrekla: to
trigger
the kindergarten (and other) modes.
kakobrekla: anyway, since
the switches are only binary i dont actually check for values cause its more work and im lazy
ascii_field: 'Orway does not condone
the use of malware.' << mega-l0l,
they ~sell~ crapware and nothing else
mike_c: from what I remember
the framerate wasn't awesome, but entirely usable.
mike_c: I used
to, yeah. before you did
the
thing with
the binaries
shinohai: I got
to stop being lazy and find me a shitty old desktop so I can
try eulora again.
shinohai: It *is* a court for sure. I should like
to see more
trial by combat
though.
shinohai: There is nothing new under
the sun, it has likely already been proposed in
these hallowed forums.
jurov: but
to 2FA.. you'd have
to keep reusing
the same hookers, i spose
jurov: ^ idea already considered by serenissima
the almighty :DDD
shinohai: Somehow
that seems just as bad as real 2-factor auth
☟︎ punkman: someone should definitely
take
the idiots 25btc
thestringpuller: also
there is some d00d offering a 25 BTC bounty
to
the first miner
to mine an XT block with
the version header.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: i
thought
the whole reason a "debate" even existed is because 90% of reddit's /r/bitcoin is full of socialist who likely own 0.1 btc each
to
their name and
think
they are gonna change
the world.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 18:23:26; Pierre_Rochard: my main disagreement is on
the economics side, you say “ Limit
the number of
transactions
that can happen on
the Bitcoin blockchain, and instead of paying higher fees people will perform
their
transactions somewhere else.”
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 16:47:31; asciilifeform: (at least
two! of which
the artist controls at least 1...)
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 16:47:19; asciilifeform: because suddenly,
there is (or you
think
there is) a debate. with 'sides.'
