mircea_popescu: the point is
to allow no quarter.
there is no excuse. joint and several liability exists
to deal with exactly
this sort of situation.
trinque: who needs govt force when american companies are so happy
to provide it on
the govt's behalf
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> Some unnamed genius at
the company feels <<
this is
the important part. do not allow
the fucktard remain anonymous. << will search. Likely committee action. Just quoting Cooter's
thoughts on
the action
there

mircea_popescu: cut
their vague generalities straight from under
them.
mircea_popescu: this isn't about principles.
this is about particular morons being particularly moronic.
they are personally responsible.
mircea_popescu: ask who doesn't want
to
tell you, why don't
they want
to
tell you ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was gonna say "why not
take it back
to civil war"
to you, but
then i realised what cw1 was.
mircea_popescu: Recently agitators in
the United States along with officials in various government capacities have been exploiting a recent minor
tragedy << would work without
the 2nd recent
too
mircea_popescu: it's our own "kick
the usg
till it bites,
then shoot it" gambit.

shinohai: I imagine
there is an unseen strapon somewhere in
that image.
mircea_popescu: i've been saying for years it's
the one vulnerability.
mircea_popescu: allows mempools
to be run like a service, much like say a website works.
mircea_popescu: inclusion in one of
these is valuable, and so a private deal can be had.
mircea_popescu: in
this way : some mempools, by virtue of being well curated, get
to
talk first
to miners.
mircea_popescu: specifically :
that at
the very least it should not be possible for one
to fire a missile at any place
that scarfs up
txn or knows about
them and hit a miner.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but afaik
turdmeisters are already experimenting with connecting sewage pipes directly
to
the mempool << I
think one of
the earliest XT "selling points" by Hearnia was
this for some SpamFunder called "Lighthouse"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm hearing
that argument can actually be had in favour of
the mempool/minerpool layered implementation.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i
think
that'd be actually +ev, but just a
thought.
mircea_popescu: ask me more questions about what
this guy did in his basement. i enjoy
the feelings of impotent frustration.
mircea_popescu: there has
to be some import of market into mempool functioning.
mircea_popescu: this will give node operators an incentive
to present good pools
to
the network.
mircea_popescu: even better if
the behaviour is dynamic (ie,
the minimum only kicks in if
the mempool is over 1mb, and selects for optimal fill)
mircea_popescu: actually a switch
to create "minimally acceptable /kb subsidy" as a precondition of
taking
tx into mempool might be useful.

mircea_popescu: so no, jwh "i just want
to contribute" doth not work irl.
mircea_popescu: because people must at some point come
to comprehend
that
they are responsible , at
the very least for
their own lives, and
that
the choices
they make come with consequences, and
the consequences will NOT negotiate.
mircea_popescu: this is very important
to ber
there, plainly spelled out.
mircea_popescu: more deeply :
there is exactly ZERO derivative work implied in
the bitcoin foundation's releases. we don't use anything
they did, for
the explicit reason
that everything
they did is shit, with
the furter implication
that every man who ever worked for
them WASTED
THEIR LIFE.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: What about cutting off
the leading zero.
Then actual releases start at version 7 or 10, following in
the
tradition established by
the early Linux Distros. <<
the problem is
that
the implication of having a 1 leading version (ie, mature product) is laughable. we don't. hopefully one day we will, but
the current offering is not it.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform:
this i understand. my asking is what are you proposing before machine goes down?
mircea_popescu: is
this some sort of "consensus"
that
they have or something ? again ?
mircea_popescu: i
think you're not particularly qualified
to make
this call. what shadow ?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: if
the valid
tx's submitted
to
the network approach a large number
that is greater
than modest machine's memory capacicty
mircea_popescu: there has been no version of bitcoin released past 0.5.3 ; we are releasing
the first one. it's 0.5.4
mircea_popescu: do you expect
torvalds
to consider what random shitforbrains released as "linux kernel" and go "hey guise we can't use version x.x, anon shitforbrains used it fiorst!!11" ?
mircea_popescu: will you propose ~WE~ change
the versioning number when (not if) some OTHER shitgnomes release a faux version downstream ?
mircea_popescu: four followds
three.
this is not a function of anyone's idiocy.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ;;later
tell mircea_popescu
turns out, bitcoind 0.5.4 shitgnomatic edition existed. << makes exactly 0 difference.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> Hopefully
to find a native speaker, which is impossible in my small city. << so buy a bride. ukr won't be cheap much longer.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: even valid
transaction can approach infinity
mod6: Then I'm gonna need
to cut away from working on
that on Saturday afternoonish at
the latest
to work on
the SoBA -- which is looking
to be lengthy for
this month.
thestringpuller: i know but how would mempool be effectively capped so nodes don't purge "important"
tx's if people spam network
mod6: im currenty building a new AMI for gentoo so I/we can
test wtf is going on in
there with gcc/uclibc. I should be done with
that in a few hours.
mod6: this is a good idea
though.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> unrelated: anybody
try capping mempool size ? << not me yet.
there's a laundry list of stuff
to get
through yet.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: how would you cap it? anything below some
transaction fee is purged from mempool when gets greater
than N-mb?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: but what about
the instant stuff like green addres?!?!?!?
mod6: I don't
think
that's ever been attempted iirc.
