ben_vulpes: if you set your staging and sandboxen up with bitcoinds that only talk to other bitcoinds you control that have never seen the mainchain
ben_vulpes: yeah there's a mess of branches throughout the codebase that do different things based on "if testnet"
davout: if you have a configurable genesis block it removes the need for testnet entirely
davout: ugh, didn't know about that
ben_vulpes: there are odd transaction relay rules etc i think
ben_vulpes: mas o menos that it's not actually a proxy for bitcoin anymore
davout: if you want some "test thing" make it behave like "real thing"
davout: yea, that's absolutely retarded
ben_vulpes: "diverged" << the whole block diff=1 thing, f.ex.
davout: which makes testing easier on a few accounts
davout: paymium has a staging environment, and a sandbox environment, both run against testnet
ben_vulpes: well enlighten my sorely sleep deprived ass - what's the use case for testnet?
davout: so random fucktards can't point their asics at it preventing me from mining with a cpu
ben_vulpes: testnet has diverged so far from mainnet that i don't even really understand the point of it anymore
ben_vulpes: no, i don't want a different testnet
davout: ben_vulpes: if you want a different testnet you just need a different genesis block and a couple ports of your liking
ben_vulpes: or is this the "rip out all magic constants" thread again
ben_vulpes: remind me of why the genesis block matters please?
ben_vulpes: <davout> [08:21] so TIL that testnet doesn't behave like main net and will allow blocks of diff 1 to be mined whenever it "has been too long" between two blocks << this testnet stuff is bullhockey
ben_vulpes: should surprise everyone with some rain in the afternoon
mircea_popescu: hey there
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well i look ever-so-forward to the follow-up articles providing morsels of dispensed wisdom a la dragonfly piece
pete_dushenski: that institutional revolutionary party, like the communist party of china, does capitalism better than the rest of the socialist pretenders
pete_dushenski: so the great white north is left with oilsands and e-commerce, while the mexicans take over the added value industries in the way that china did in the last few decades.

chetty: lobbes, if people ever actually targeted their anger at the real root of any issue the world would be very different
lobbes: silly how no anger is being directed toward the faulty security of the site itself
lobbes: 'I don't have any solid proof, and even if there was, it would be a matter for the victims and the police only' < l0l
danielpbarron: wouldn't be the first time
danielpbarron: actually can you not approve my previous comment for moderation. i just realized such a post could direct an entire hate mob at a twitter account and that's not responsible for me to do. This guy could just be a fan of the guy who posted the list. I don't have any solid proof, and even if there was, it would be a matter for the victims and the police only.
danielpbarron: He's the only person on Twitter who is regularly posting links to that blog site. So the accounts must be connected somehow. Based on that account's Tweets, there's a lot of hostility towards women, feminists, "SJW's", and women related things.
danielpbarron: http://friskyfairy.com/wp/blog/2015/04/10/1325/#comment-47836 << LOL the link is removed but this comment is surely about me

ascii_modem: everything from the stenotype transcriber to the case law search to... you get the drift
ascii_modem: consider - close to 100% of u.s. juridicial whatevers, have winblows in the loop
ascii_modem: there are 'places' to which usg - while exists as such - simply will -not- go, and where the question can only be re: -which- specific set of sophistries will be made use of to avoid going there
assbot: South Africa's ageing white mercenaries who helped turn tide on Boko Haram | World news | The Guardian ... ( http://bit.ly/1b2TRgP )
ascii_modem: usg wins this one - because alternative - holding pd to hygienic standards - is 'skies-fall' mega-inconceivable
BingoBoingo: It's pages 31 through 33
BingoBoingo: ascii_modem: If you take a look at the affidavit exhibit D is enlightening
ascii_modem: re: turdware piece: probably normal infector
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: updated to include a link to the de-pdf'd affidavit. Lots of exhibits so txt didn't work.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll deturd the pdf of the affidavit (probably should have earlier), in the context of the rest of the misconduct it accidentallied its way there isn't too plausible.

assbot: Reset testnet with a new genesis block · bitcoin/bitcoin@98ba262 · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1cveJh2 )
davout: nah, what has been done, is this -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/98ba262a48b66cae8478525e809898512e997948
mircea_popescu: and iirc that was available. at least at some point.
davout: correct solution is "make it possible to configure an arbitrary genesis block"
davout: "let's make something to test our stuff, but let's make it behave differently"
davout: so TIL that testnet doesn't behave like main net and will allow blocks of diff 1 to be mined whenever it "has been too long" between two blocks
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl if i recall corectly and you have hosting on the blogs.polimedia.us server with me, please change the ns to ns1.trilema.com ns2.trilema.com the old server is going down. the account has been already moved.

BingoBoingo can not recommend personal fantasy escapes to anyone else
asciilifeform: <BingoBoingo> ... the Phillipines interest me as an expatriation point << afaik - worst of all worlds: thoroughly usg-owned, but with all the 'pleasures' of the Turd World
BingoBoingo: OMG mircea_popescu discovered why even though Islands are shitty the Phillipines interest me as an expatriation point
mircea_popescu: well... that's all for me. later folks.
williamdunne: True, but still in the broad sense
mircea_popescu: or aspires to.
williamdunne: At least when you see it you know that its got something to do with bitcoin
williamdunne: I thought it would be interesting to see what people are willing to do with anonymity, and what they would pay to keep it
mircea_popescu: supposedly someone cares enough to pay them, but i kinda doubt it's worth anyone's time.
mircea_popescu: very cringy-obvious never even saw the site.
mircea_popescu: you could just as well hire indonesians to write random shit. there's a bunch of "reviews" sites spamming this crap, there was one even discussed in the logs, made an entry about "the bitbet casino"
mircea_popescu: i don't get what would be the point.
williamdunne: See if you can throw some police stations/prisons/parliaments in there
williamdunne: You just know that if you managed to get a few people on it they would all be dumb enough to sign on with facebook
williamdunne: A website focussed at schools/universities/whatever, that would allow you to login via Facebook and "anonymously" make posts about other attendees. And then several months into the operation, slowly begin revealing the names of the OPs - with the option of paying a (bitcoin) bribe to have it not revealed
williamdunne: I had (what I think) is an interesting idea the other day. Which could be rather educational for some people and entertaining for others
mircea_popescu: wow BingoBoingo that's a thing by now huh.
williamdunne: I think MPEX needs a logo carved in stone, preferably with some sort of bird of prey on it
williamdunne: Ah I guess its about 3 years since MPEX and 6 years since bitcoin. Thats like a bank lasting from the 1820s in the fiat world
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Today I am drinking Vodka to celebrate the advent of more of Bitcoin's history involving MPOE/MPEx than not
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: I need to catch up
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: At that time that was written author had plenty of history to work with.
williamdunne: >while constantly accusing pretty much everyone else in the bitcoin community of being a scammer
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Impressive how accurate they are, guessing they must know some backstory
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: The best part is the html comes from no earlier than from some bit later than 1993
mircea_popescu: lol that's from like... 2012 ?
williamdunne: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-04-2015#1101749 - thanks, pretty interesting. Nice screw up by ANX there ☝︎
williamdunne: Moral of the story? It can be hard to judge people."
williamdunne: Thank you Mircea for your services to the bitcoin community and for apparently being an honest and trustworthy entrepreneurial businessman. (Making you perhaps the only honest and trustworthy Romanian I know.)
williamdunne: "Shady ROMANIAN character opens up unregistered bitcoin options exchange (complete with HTML from 1993) on his personal website (which also hosts porn) and charges exorbitant fees just to join, while constantly accusing pretty much everyone else in the bitcoin community of being a scammer, and, along with his (possibly virtual) -PR lackey, acts like a loudmouthed douchebag ... but apperantly scams no
williamdunne: The only really amazing thing to me is that we haven't seen this entry on the list:
williamdunne: Just read this comment from a couple years back, speaks strongly:
mircea_popescu: for one thing, the jews didn't WANT austria.
assbot: Logged on 15-04-2015 01:34:43; adlai: well that would've sucked for all the prussians, although i guess they could've been deported to palestine, or uganda
mircea_popescu: felipelalli the funny thing about english as used here is that it's not really familiar to about 90% of native english speakers either.
mircea_popescu: apparently google misses trilema, even sent me an email.
