mircea_popescu: ahh, finally ahead of the wiki

mircea_popescu: http://www.google.com/search?q=mpex&complete=0

mircea_popescu: well, the only way to prove it is if i say so, or else if they find a cleartext stat.

mircea_popescu: prove what you mean ?

mircea_popescu: but still i guess the damage could be well limited.

mircea_popescu: and some govt going bonkers is a legitimate concern

mircea_popescu: it got to ipo on mpex cause it's about as strong as mpex after all.

mircea_popescu: error4733 yes it's very censorship resistant.

mircea_popescu: Schadenfreude it needs some maintenance, obviously, but i don't think erik is involved in that himself

mircea_popescu: i think he prolly will.

mircea_popescu: sez obama.

mircea_popescu: shit's pretty funny. if you buy an ipad it's not your ipad

mircea_popescu: https://ripple.com/wp-content/themes/ripple-theme/img/logo.png

mircea_popescu: i guess it needs js or java or something ?

mircea_popescu: Loading...

mircea_popescu: maximian do you have a client and everything ?

mircea_popescu: well, i guess we see what time brings to it.

mircea_popescu: i thought that was more akin some sort of demurage implementation

mircea_popescu: in some contexts i see less expensive and my brain reads cheap.

mircea_popescu: isn't a good chunk of btc security derived precisely from the fact that its' so damned expensive to attack ?

mircea_popescu: i wonder why it being less expensive is a good thing.

mircea_popescu: maximian same here.

mircea_popescu: im just a fanboi.

mircea_popescu: that we agree with.

mircea_popescu: i would think there would be yes.

mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens to the consensus method if there's a net split for 24 hours which then resolves ?

mircea_popescu: srsly ? 4 years into it, still not proven ?

mircea_popescu: maximian it's not nearly as secure fwiw.

mircea_popescu: if you delete an empty node don't you get a dangling pointer ?

mircea_popescu: ok this is nonsense.

mircea_popescu: To store a large directory of indexes, the entries are divided into nodes of a manageable size. Each node knows the relative offset of the previous and next nodes. Empty nodes can be deleted. However, the first node can not be deleted unless there are no other nodes as we use the first node to efficiently find other nodes.

mircea_popescu: so noboduy admits to having specced it i take it ?

mircea_popescu: ok, who specced this thing ?

mircea_popescu: Every node has a 32-bit flags field that indicates which universal and node-type-specific flags are present.

mircea_popescu: Flags

mircea_popescu: so if you don't chain them how do you get a history ?

mircea_popescu: but ?

mircea_popescu: ok so. it does payments. how does it resolve the dblspend problem ? blockchain ?

mircea_popescu: a a sorry.

mircea_popescu: did you code your server to api spec or what

mircea_popescu: you don't have the source ?

mircea_popescu: i've had enough of this for now, my brain is rippling.

mircea_popescu: dude they can't even agree if it has a chain ;/

mircea_popescu: wait, what ?

mircea_popescu: hurr.

mircea_popescu: without a blockchain ?

mircea_popescu: Ukto not like it's a crime. im just questing for knowledge

mircea_popescu: coingenuity such a fine example of design by commitee

mircea_popescu: i still don't know why i'd use it. why'd i use it ?

mircea_popescu: vampireb i see your point re stable rates.

mircea_popescu: vampireb why not ?

mircea_popescu: it all depends how many people hold how much btc this way

mircea_popescu: Ukto i won't sell, for instance. i don;t care what it is tbh.
