PeterL: but what is bitcoin without transactions?
asciilifeform: PeterL: mircea_popescu had a scheme quite like the one you described
mircea_popescu: PeterL you know your thinking is a nearly exact restatement of what i said last week ?
ben_vulpes: PeterL: you missed the thread where alf pointed out that 'mempool' is not a part of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: which yes is a thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh ha, we call that dish икра (as in 'caviar', yes, same word)
PeterL: to make sure they get included eventually in a block
PeterL: So I've been thinking about the mempool: There should be a size limit set in the config for mempool, along with the minFee. Each txn gets scored based on age of coins, amount in txn, size of txn, and fee, etc, once the size limit is reached if a txn does not meet the lowest ranking it is ignored, if it does then the lowest ranked txn is ejected to make space, and every once in a while the oldest and highest ranking txns in the mempool are rebroa
mircea_popescu: yes. in romanian is this very specific, traditionally canned vegetable paste
decimation: especially in honolulu where they cater to rich japanese
decimation: yeah hawaii has the best sushi I've eaten
ben_vulpes: one of the nicer things about hawaii is the plentify ahi
asciilifeform: at some point it will be possible to tell - with a geiger.
decimation: it's actually almost impossible to tell exactly what kind of fish you are eating in the us
decimation: but they are sold as sardines in the us because they haven't heard of 'sprat'
mircea_popescu: sprattus sprattus. that's what it is, the brisling
asciilifeform: can be made from more than one animal
decimation: it turns out there's many kinds of 'sardine'
mircea_popescu: the sprat IS a sardine. that's what they're called in english.
decimation: they sell them as 'brisling sardines' but they are sprat - I am certain of this
assbot: brisling sardines in olive oil » KING OSCAR – THE BEST SEAFOOD IN THE WORLD ... ( http://bit.ly/1IdbMQl )
decimation: asciilifeform: these are usually available in the us (safeway?) http://www.kingoscar.com/products-by-market/usa/usa-sardines/brisling-sardines-in-olive-oil-5.html
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm still snarfing up the log
ben_vulpes: (anyways, if anyone cares to poke holes in my proposed ghetto wot httpauthentication mechanism, plz do)
asciilifeform: to the point where ru immigrants sometimes are found to have lived on 'cat feed' for months
asciilifeform: (if that)
asciilifeform: decimation: in usa, 'fish in tin' typically means cheap tuna, and one notch above what is fed to cat
trinque: happen to like sardines
asciilifeform: decimation: i've yet to locate a supplier for unsmoked
decimation: it is weird how most usians are biased against fish in a tin
ben_vulpes: i think everyone can smell your perma-lsd-trip.
mircea_popescu: http://38.media.tumblr.com/c021a1191d8153f73ba1b27bcd9fb28c/tumblr_n5xmsiNmjE1tulo74o5_400.gif << competence and ridiculously infantile tits.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that vacuum-packed babe was p lulzy

mircea_popescu: prolly has 588 of them, all the same height, wearing the same mask
ben_vulpes: aha yes actually this makes sense
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes maybe HE is the one with slavegirls.
ben_vulpes: trinque: i think he actually has employees
mircea_popescu: not just because of stuff like the above asciilifeform comment, but also because well... huge.
mircea_popescu: but yes, gossipd is the huge sort of project that looks like it'd benefit from a few failure reports from failed attempts before we seriously have a shot.
trinque: maybe he is, would just like to hear
asciilifeform: this is probably where i confess that ~my~ gossipd is nearly done...
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell artifexd yo!
mircea_popescu: trinque guy seemed to be seriously working on it, was gonna say something in a coupla weeks a quarter ago.
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 12 weeks, 4 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 10 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
trinque: so. seriously. what's the story with artifexd ?
mircea_popescu: seems great to me. what's the problem with it ?
decimation: but you need some method of keeping orbit to maintain
asciilifeform: uncle al's orbit-sweeper shotgun is only a matter of time.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what did you think dpaste was.
assbot: Logged on 20-07-2015 00:56:25; ben_vulpes: there are a million ways to pull debris out of orbit.
decimation: to me the solution to spam is "pay me to read your email in bitcoin"
asciilifeform: hire - the brahmins
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-07-2015#1206950 << you clearly did not actually go to the arse chaser and ask for a job ☝︎
ben_vulpes: there are a million ways to pull debris out of orbit. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda why space war is inevitable. i see no problem shooting everything else out of orbit to fart my own
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i will build the garbage scows.
ben_vulpes: but more precisely a 'transformation' thing.
assbot: Logged on 20-07-2015 00:49:30; mircea_popescu: before i die i'm going to be farting satellites.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-07-2015#1206934 << one of those things that cannot continue. useful orbits are already very crowded (mainly with garbage.) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "srsly, where's the macro on this thing" "the what ?"
ben_vulpes: because text is not simply an 'input' problem.
ben_vulpes: the touchscreen however is an unredeemable text input device.
ben_vulpes: i use the gmail application.
ben_vulpes: my read at the time was "google is raping apple's mail experience"
ben_vulpes: heh yeah that's right
trinque: there were a few, apple might've too
ben_vulpes: because while they can mandate webkit as browser they cannot
trinque: could've been descended from that.
assbot: Google buys Sparrow, current apps will not get any new features | The Verge ... ( http://bit.ly/1IdaDs6 )
ben_vulpes: no, apple purchased the only decent mail application for ios to preserve their mailnopoly
decimation: asciilifeform: tonight for dinner I had 'riga' sprat and rye bread (berliner broet)
mircea_popescu: actually briefcase was yahoo i guess, the "media company"
trinque: ben_vulpes: isn't that something they purchased?
mircea_popescu: they're still living off fucking google ads. which work about as good as an ant blowjob. since then, endless string of failures, briefcase, glass, g+ you name it
trinque: I thought they only killed ones they purchased
mircea_popescu: when's the last time google had a product ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but they've also stopped doing anything
assbot: Logged on 20-07-2015 00:30:21; mircea_popescu: anwyay, the notion that google hires derps with degrees is news to me. i thought nobody got to finish his degree because hired in 3rd year.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-07-2015#1206831 << mno. that's 'dotcom boom' sop. today - no one without 'straight a' marks is considered, etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206513 << i didn't pour that spec in concrete. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: or broadcasting credentials in the clear ala http-basic auth

ben_vulpes: (signed by a customer or allowed user or someone the service provider likes)
ben_vulpes: i thought up an http-auth thing recently: http request headers containing a signed hash of one of the last 2 blocks
decimation: well, there's a whole movement of 'get space to the people'
mircea_popescu: before i die i'm going to be farting satellites. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: decimation mp's law! when i was born, the first satellite had just cost a fortune. by the time i had my first threesome, they were doing consumer phone via satellite. as i made my self billion, fucing romania launched a satellite on a shoestring budget.
decimation: I tried that, didn't work on 10.6.8
decimation: ben_vulpes: like the stator source?
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 12 weeks, 4 days, 2 hours, 32 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
decimation: mircea_popescu: sats are getting cheaper, but doing a 'multipoint sat constellation' is still going to be $$$$$
ben_vulpes: i suppose that i'm pretty dumb for just downloading the source and expecting that i'll be able to compile it, huh?
decimation: for some reason the final link didn't work with bitcoind, gonna do some more research
decimation: it does compile 1.58 with clang though
decimation: ben_vulpes: I tried to compile the 1.55.0 boost on macports and it didn't work
