translators
that only speak English?
mircea_popescu: the names of
the places

their head are names.

the model is really just finding people
to bail em out
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 04:42:30; asciilifeform: other
thing is, ideally
the graph would be in some logical arrangement
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 04:26:43; *: asciilifeform confesses
that he did not know
this proof, and, as a student, wasted a great deal of
time
trying
to devise such a
thing
mircea_popescu: because "people" of
the pale complexion have allowed
themselves
to be
trained in such god-awful conformity, and
the space of possibilities has lain fallow for so long,
to be shat into by alf's smirking plumbooker,
that it's getting fucking filled.
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 04:17:52; asciilifeform: and, in
the ultimate case,
the kind created by somebody who was sure
that it would never be looked for.
mircea_popescu: what is
the difference between ntp
telling you what
time it is and *tp
telling you what
to observe ?
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 04:01:47; decimation: find predictions for

Adlai: eloquence of
the mute
mircea_popescu: (yes,
there's a smartness of
the dumb, like
there's a richness of
the poor and a cleanliness of
the filthy and honesty of politicians and so on and so forth.)
mircea_popescu: it is
the smartness of
the nor merely dumb, but unrescuably so.
mircea_popescu: they simply say
things
that bear an impredictable (to
them first of all) relationship
to reality.
mircea_popescu: then, of
THOSE POOLS it
turned out
that ~50% are
too confused

thestringpuller: unless i seriously misunderstand, 50%+ of
the hash rate belongs
to folks ~who aren't even running bitcoin~ but a
toystore version
Adlai: mircea_popescu:
too bad only
the dumb&industrious students will do
that.
the smart&lazy just go
to sipa's charts...
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 02:21:03; asciilifeform:
the
thing barely survives
today, much less ww3
mircea_popescu: for students of
the bitcoin protocol actually interested in learning how it works, create a list of all block hashes, calculate implied difficulty on
that basis, compare
to actual difficulty at
the
time and calculate variance etc. nice graphs
to be had.
mircea_popescu: in
that difficulty is a statistical measure and statistics of sets of one is undefined.
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 02:11:39; asciilifeform: difficulty oughta have been defined in relation
to
the difficulty of
the last solved block, solely.
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 01:36:51; asciilifeform: so apparently
they had
to
take
the bank by storm.
kakobrekla: greek islands are
the best. i very much enjoyed
them, perhaps mykonos

assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 00:17:01; asciilifeform:
total waste of
time.
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 00:13:16; asciilifeform: unrelated: folks competing for mircea_popescu's 1 btc prize for
therealbitcoin callgraph can strike 'egypt' utility off
the list. it is a worthless pile of shit, which produces worthless piles of shit (at least for cpp proggy)
mircea_popescu: shinohai unrelated
things
tho. a
tx is a
tx, it charges by byte.
punkman: "I run
the restaurant from 1996, its a family business. I work here with my father and my mother. We only cook
traditional Greek food. We accept Bitcoin for payments.
They have come 6-8 people pay with Bitcoin from Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg but i hope for more people with Bitcoins"
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 00:13:06; decimation: point being, someone derives
time (the iers) from astronomy, sets
the cesium, and broadcasts it
shinohai: I
thought
that
the 0.1% per 1 BTC
transacted was reasonable, as set out in
the Declaration of Sovereignty.
mircea_popescu: might have been 0.00001 what
they paid, i dun recall. look at
the backlog should be obvious
shinohai: So
that explains
the slow
tx
times
today
mircea_popescu: which has
the excellent side effect of
taking
the piss out of all
the redditard "unbanked" who were used
to pay 0 fees.
mircea_popescu: punkman
there's some derps putting in like 1mn
txn for 1 btc
total fees.
mircea_popescu: yeah, basically, whenever
the market forces do what
they expect
they're all market-force-y, and when
the market forces
tell
them
to go dangle
they're all democaca-y
punkman: apparently 200l+
transactions
today
shinohai: reddit believes *they* are
the market force, or so I
thought.
mircea_popescu: "Market forces will prevail and miners will have
to adapt." loller.
shinohai: She looks
tall enough
to ride
this ride.
shinohai: Lox and eggs for me
this morning.
mircea_popescu: everyone
that
thinks i should have creme fraiche and strawberries, make your blocks v 1337
mircea_popescu: everyone
that

mircea_popescu: "o hai folks i'm
talking from day after
tomorrow.
time is moving by really really
too slow!!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re
the entire
timing discussion : suppose
the pogo gets started always with a realtime switch, -time=14blablabla, and after
that gets its
time from
the most recent block it accepts and checks for next ones being within +-7200 seconds.

TomServo: Ahoy all, just wanted
to pass long: my 0.5.3 node is humming along, currently reporting blockheight 364171.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform uh.
the one published actually encompasses
the first fork. i have other chains (also historical)
that aren't wedged, but i had
thought yours passed
that point ?
☟︎ jurov: they aren't still
there only cuz mircea_popescu mediated it
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 07:09:24; punkman: asciilifeform: i really fail
to grasp for what, precisely, it is,

the possibility of 1 block per month?
