shinohai: So is it possible
to change
the *network* it connects
to,
to one under your control ?
shinohai: But yes, I see
the point. Perhaps irc is
the best way
to find non-gavinized nodes.
shinohai: To whatever peers it connects
to instead of specifying ip's
shinohai: I know it was removed, but when I last spoke
to mod6 I
think he
told me
to just connect normally for now
assbot: Logged on 01-06-2015 13:55:14; shinohai: mod6 when you return, wanted
to let you know I built without
the irc peer discovery and it works nice.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Is
the qntra server under DoS?

☟︎ punkman: 0.5.3.1-RELEASE doesn't verify everything, needs removal of
the conditional
that skips blocks
punkman: I
think I put in all
the patches currently listed on
thebitcoin.foundation front page, except perhaps static-makefile.tar.gz. And used whatever openssl etc
that was present on my debian7 system.
punkman: my
test was with foundation bitcoind before
the release
though
punkman: mircea_popescu: atm
the whole chain still verifies if you care
to. << has anyone actually accomplished
this? verify every single
transaction and block
to date?

the chinese.. a lot of foreign investment of aussie housing is coming from china past few years,
thought is
that
they dont mind paying huge premiums just
to get
their money outta
there
assbot: Logged on 01-06-2015 09:11:43; punkman: and when I
tried
to verify all of
them, it blew up before block 150k
mircea_popescu: but
they were disallowed from actually
taking
the next step, ie, make blocks unverifiable.
assbot: Logged on 01-06-2015 09:10:39; punkman: asciilifeform: decimation: if you didn't verify
the entire blockchain from end
to end, you aren't a node! <<
this will be fun
to do because of all
the different openssl versions
that have shat on
the blockchain. iirc
the
thing skips verification of whole blocks and
then relies on verifying a single (checkpoint) block.

mircea_popescu: bitcoin has no shortage of satoshi impersonators
trying
to push scamcoins.
mircea_popescu: same
thing i did about doge, keisercoin, auroracoin, younameitcoin

☟︎ BingoBoingo: In
this part of USia a freestanding house of

tracts of land...
cazalla: what.. one million isn't reasonable for
that?

☟︎ liquidassets: thanks for sharing, so what was unique about
the fork, just
the interface?
BingoBoingo: Well, it was just
the difficulty cycling. For a while it was manageable, but eventually swings were uncontainable
chalbersma: Yes at
the
time
they had a big problem with
the network effect. Difficulty had skyrocketed because of some market movement
that made it (temporarily) more profitable
to mine
than bitcoin.
chalbersma: Think is I don't
think
that anybody is actually using ATC P2Pool implementation anymore.
The contract for
the build had 1 month of runtime and
then MP and Ragnar I believe ran
the p2pool node for a while. But ATC didn't seem
to catch on
that much.
chalbersma: So with P2Pool
the idea is
that you will run a mining "pool"
that share's it's load with other mining "pools".
There a cryptographic chain keeping
track of work so
that you can't cheat or mine a block and
then keep it. So in
the end instead of having one centralized plae where all
the mining work is kept you get
the benefits of
the pool with bitcoin like decentralization.
liquidassets: chalbersma mining is foreign
to me, do you make
the nodes? how do you become a client?
gribble: Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated
to use
the rating system.

hanbot: hey mod6 well done on
the foundation report. clearly & intelligibly conveys
the ample and useful work being done.
decimation: the wright brothers almost immediately began selling
to usg
decimation: 'derivative' in
the sense
that
the wright flyer had almost zero in common, other
than
they were both flying
things
decimation: in fact if you would have zapped an f-35 back
to kitty hawk, nc
the wright brothers would have just given up
mircea_popescu: decimation
the jet is merely a derivative work off hobbysts stuff
mircea_popescu: and someone somewhere still naively proposes
the nist be
taken as anything but
the goskomstat ?
mircea_popescu: "In a short notice published last month,
the National Institute for Standards and
Technology (NIST) announced it was retiring a number of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) because
they were obsolete. Notably,
that list of retirements includes FIPS-185."
decimation: that's a point, but
there's a world of difference between a flying bicycle and a fancy jet
assbot: Logged on 01-06-2015 02:54:08; asciilifeform: imho one of
the most perplexing
things about 'anti-bitcoin' agitators is how
they all -
to a man - miss
the most cogent argument against bitcoin: it being, how it is implemented
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-06-2015#1149352 on one hand,
they're
talking
to a crowd, and for
that particular crowd
talking sense means you lose. why
the fuck
they imagine against plainly obvious reality
that it still matters or can help
them is besides
the point here. on
the other hand,
they don't want
to help. formulating cogent criticisms is helping.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: bwahahaha wait,
there's derps actually writing on
tardstalk like all seriously and naively and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: the entire french language is, in
the us, a sort of marketing ploy.
Vexual: sd card is
the only hole on a google netbook?
mircea_popescu: <Adlai> who needs documentation when you have live support << what's
this, camwhoring for geeks ?
