BingoBoingo: At somepoint
though we will have
the problem on when
to start decelerating
the starship lest we crashland into Alpha Centurai
decimation: there is a description on how
to derive
time by measuring
the moon's motion relative
to other objects in
the sky
BingoBoingo: Suffers labeling issues
though. Hard
to
tell buy ordering if you get actual part or Chicom
turd
BingoBoingo is guessing
that at some point Rubidium standards are going
to become #b-a coture
williamdunne: Sorta like how dyslexic is probably pretty hard
to spell if you're dyslexic
trinque: only asciilifeform's
test
takers
trinque: who gives a shit about arbitrary distinctions such as
that?
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2015 23:03:08; mircea_popescu: "I've noticed certain repeating characteristic in
the writing of many members of
this forum:
they construct grammatically correct sentences but absolutely disregard
the underlying semantics: incoming vs. outgoing, local vs. remote, source vs. destination, etc. Here in regards
to
TCP/IP ports, but I observed
that in regards
to pretty much any
technical issue."
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2015 23:04:03; mircea_popescu: it was highlighted by intel about
two weeks ago, and we're generally
tracing it
to philippines "top quality" content farms working for a number of (mostly ct and wash based) pr firms.
funkenstein_: i've never understood
the philippino references i see here
funkenstein_: meanwhile litecoin users enjoying "stress
test" popcorn
BingoBoingo: Impact of my relay policy change on
the network will be near nil, but policy is policy
ascii_field: rather
than philippino meat puppets for-hire
ascii_field: thestringpuller: i'm not even certain
that
the 'ocean of complaint' consists of real people
BingoBoingo just switched own nodes
to 0.001 min fee for
transaction relay
thestringpuller: stop complaining about "waah my
transactions is unconfirmed waaaah"
thestringpuller: we get fee market. fuck
the people who can't pay for
their nice
things
trinque: that
the fact of
their pulse is by itself something special and important
trinque: cannot
think of a more vulgar mentality
trinque: ascii_field: reminds me of mircea_popescu's recent comments
to
the effect of roughly "We've done it! I exist!"
ascii_field: one
telling mark of a
tard is
that he is unwilling
to consider
that market's job is not only
to supply folks with
things, but
to REFUSE
to supply
them
☟︎☟︎ ascii_field: because
they can't send
their 0.01 btc without fee
trinque: stress
test seems
to prove
the system works from where I sit
trinque: right, I said
this yesterday
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 21:12:24;
trinque: it's
telling
that
they are not even willing
to consider using, you know, a fucking market for
this
ascii_field: the other is so
that gavin & co. can
try
to persuade miners
to use
their
turdball
☟︎ ascii_field: as i pointed out before, it is being done for
two disjoint reasons. one is so
that hearn can write
the
turd linked above, re: 'it is crowded and we need blocks of $maxint size'
mats: its an ideological matter
to hear Luke-Jr
tell it
ascii_field: if usg wants
to spend its coin
this way, it can
trinque: it's
telling
that
they are not even willing
to consider using, you know, a fucking market for
this
☟︎ ascii_field: but aside from
that, bidding up space in blocks by blowing one's own coin is a perfectly legit
thing
to do
ascii_field: (the
tx sent
to brainwallet('password') etc)
ascii_field: though gotta wonder if
this is still fair
to say re: a gigantic sack of shit with
the words 'this is spam, and fuck you' printed right on it
trinque: IF IT HAS A FEE ATTACHED AND IS A VALID
TXN, IT'S NOT SPAM
trinque: "I suspect it can be mitigated
through heavier reliance on coin age priority, as coin age is not something
that can be
trivially bought on
the spot, unlike fee priority."
ascii_field: 'As you may have noticed, Bitcoin unfortunately has run out of capacity due
to someone DoS attacking
the network.'
ascii_field: as in,
the one
thing
that is guaranteed
to grow monotonically
ascii_field: but what you see in
that graph is
the only 'leak' in
the usual sense
ascii_field: now if
the node is 'live' and has net connection, hears
tx, suffers possible fragging (see old
threads) -
then even more consumption.
ascii_field: the
thing here, as discussed in
the past, is
that 300 bytes (block header and overhead) are kept in ram at all
times per ~known block~
ascii_field: (this was a node, i must remind
the reader, with no mempool, on account of having no net connection and being fed blocks 'intravenously' if you will)
shinohai: For some reason mine has dropped, but probably because I'm not connecting
to a bzillion nodes
ascii_field: shinohai: most of what i've done re:
therealbitcoin so far revolves around getting memory footprint under control
shinohai: I was hoping my pogo would arrive
today, but postman has already come. :/
shinohai: I am fascinated by how mircea_popescu envisioned
that. I
tried for well over a year
to figure out how
to busybox it.
ascii_field: who was pushing a weirdo 'cloud subscription'
thing with it
ascii_field: mainly because it is (or rather was) sold far below cost by
the manufacturer
ascii_field: mircea_popescu posed
the question of what is
the cheapest mass-produced piece of equipment
that could be pressed into service
to run
therealbitcoin.
shinohai: Of your particular dealings. How
the idea of using it came about.
ascii_field: shinohai: of
the pogo as it comes from
the vendor ?
shinohai: Is
there a history of
the pogo somewhere?
decimation: but I do see your point, if we can make
the hardware 'reliable'
ascii_field: just as usg
turned
their orbital nuke dropper into 'space shuttle'
decimation: su actually built 'manned spy satellites' - became 'civilian peace stations' in
the 80's
ascii_field: except when
they don't.
then, suddenly, much less
talk of space stations
ascii_field: see, somebody's gotta change
the vacuum
tubes
ascii_field: well, afaik
the 'precise' is not publicly known. but
the ancient rumour
that was
taught
to me was
that it was a usg military propaganda
trick
ascii_field: decimation: do you know
the story of how
the concept of 'space station' came about?
decimation wonders if skynet will need an 'economy' or will just directly solve
the 'need
things/have
things'
trade matrix
decimation: at any rate, I fully admit
that bitcoin requires slaves
to feed computers
the right data and configure
them
ascii_field: the unfortunate
thing is
that
the 'easy
to verify, hard
to produce'
thing very much requires machines.
shinohai: I should say having one's
throat cut invalidates a lot of
things.
decimation: why does
the fact
that your
throat can be cut invalidate proof of work?
ascii_field: in my mind,
that's sorta
the whole point of bitcoin.
ascii_field: at any rate, we don't actually know how
to do 'proof of work'
thing using meat.
ascii_field: except
that
the attacks now include having one's
throat cut at night, aha
decimation: well, if slave
tells you
time of day,
the class of attacks you describe become much more difficult
