mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mining doesn't have to mean that.
mircea_popescu: (in fact it is perhaps obvious that was designed with a view to THIS, rather than "extant battlefield")
mircea_popescu: scheme as described ftr works eminently well with http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/ in that "proof of knowing the txset" becomes meaningful past what's going on now
mircea_popescu: "want coins -- go mine."
mircea_popescu: so if nothing else, you can bootstrap it exactly like bitcoin did.
mircea_popescu: anyway, evidently the first [...] stands for what's currently termed "mining" while the second for actual spending.
mircea_popescu: (way way WAY worse than original optimistic estimates of "21mn divisible to 1e8". but what can you do.)
mircea_popescu: nobody asks this ; but anyway, if bitcoin prototyping is any guide, 1kb per entry should suffice ; in which case current computing could in principle actually support a coinset between 1mn and 1bn coins.
mircea_popescu: the whole field array-addresable, "coin #58045 is at... offset... 58045. duh."
mircea_popescu: "new bitcoin has 1mn coins ; which can not be split ; to move a coin from nill address to your address you must [...] ; to move a coin from x address to y address you must [...]".
mircea_popescu: allocate it all now ; if you can't afford to make smaller coinbase.
mircea_popescu: and no more of this "monotonously growing" nonsense. whole item as large as will ever be is given at onset.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, the replacement-pistols will simply be a patch set.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, v-tronization of blockchain is unavoidable. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: because it will cost someone's time to reconcile. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and you don't want to end up with a split code branch
mircea_popescu: yes yes. but on the proper basis
mircea_popescu: something small and desperately needed like better logs i can see ; but by now you're talking painting walls and such
mircea_popescu: but honestly i'd prioritize db-fix-and-trb-split discussed over these rather cosmetic by comparison improvements.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not afaik.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757834 <<->> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-16#1433709 an' so on. primary function of language, finches have it. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: iirc hanbot was using it to do something trilema-related, sounded happy with it.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with the bot he published
mircea_popescu: "early boost" sorta thing
mircea_popescu: and evidently an improvement whose time had come.
mircea_popescu: but yes, within-republic it's a major improvement.
mircea_popescu: trb dun get malleus'd anyway
mircea_popescu: hard to outdo malleus for that purpose anyway
mircea_popescu: to soon to see. dun seem like it so far.
mircea_popescu: and in the end you only get the blocks they give.
mircea_popescu: i don't see any change in behaviour. the prb node will produce ~same % of blocks with or without.
mircea_popescu: problem is the tip
mircea_popescu: especially 2 after 1 fails
mircea_popescu: yes!
mircea_popescu: the part where "africa had no men BECAUSE IT FUCKING SUCKED" somehow escaped notice. fancy that wonder, http://trilema.com/2015/in-which-orwell-avoids-what-he-does-not-wish-to-see/
mircea_popescu: this is like better aids. meme-aids.
mircea_popescu: in the end it might turn out that vhs-america aborted itself because it listened to a bunch of mediocre women that just wanted an easy time teaching highschool ; but couldn't come out with it because puritan perversion.
mircea_popescu: 100% africanism, and it's what the "peace corps" was for
mircea_popescu: "higgs boson will end the world!!!"
mircea_popescu: heck, they were even bitching about how euro cyclotron MIGHT ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING, recall ?
mircea_popescu: matches observed experience perfectly -- suddenly ghetto empty of males. then... "manspreading".
mircea_popescu: and so decided to...
mircea_popescu: (because who are the writer-in-ny fantasies foolong, 100% of pantsuit were going into teaching)
mircea_popescu: factually, however, ustardian pantsuit visited africa [the nation of~] where they discovered that all-girl classes are a lot easier for the local subtards to handle than mixed classes they had at home
mircea_popescu: legendarily, ceausescu visited best korea at some point, came back inspired with "Great Juche-like Ideas" [evidently claimed as independent, because all peasants are mormon smith] ;
mircea_popescu: all-girl school best. like they saw in africa.
mircea_popescu: this is the "day at nuke power station". and "boys will be boys" ie someone ACTUALLY DOING something is exactly the worst fucking nightmare.
mircea_popescu: thanks.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751002 << ding! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yes, but this isn't it ; i'd have thought it'd have ecology in it because i recall the link being made, but also no dice.
mircea_popescu: i've engineered hell for myself here, "it's either in the log or on the blog" yes tyvm
mircea_popescu: apparently i can't find that discussion now.
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: there's some log discussion of why nothing must ever happen.
mircea_popescu: it is an outgrowth of socialist fantasy, specifically constructed to deliver on the constructed impotence of socialism.
mircea_popescu: no, committee is very strictly dedicated to failing on the h bomb or anything else.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the fantasy-mind. "wouldn't chocolate be better ?"
mircea_popescu: this only works with extreme purists.
mircea_popescu: ie, deliberately contrived to extend whip reach for herself.
mircea_popescu: smart man. do you see however how this is STRICTLY equivalent to slavegirl going "master, this spot, this spot doesn't hurt like the others, hit it harder."
mircea_popescu: ahaha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is that ; but not reliably, hence soviet alt-genetics.
mircea_popescu: which isn't nearly as fortunate a happy occurence as the fantasy-mind imagines from within ; but anyway
mircea_popescu: this follows from the definition of terms, if you manage to find a domain outside of the view of the whip therefore you escaped.
mircea_popescu: there is no under that's not an extension of by.
mircea_popescu: hatman HAD on what with. missed out on what TO.
mircea_popescu: because there's not so much conceptual within peasant ancestral experience.
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure stalin was capable. you see, the buffett mind, "i'm a smart conservative peasant", which seems to my eyes to be what stalin (or for that matter ro hatman) was struggling towards dun work for conceptual worlds.
mircea_popescu: but hey, by now the stuff of "bitcoin is backed by nothing, stick to dollars" is well stale i'd guess.
mircea_popescu: well, in typical manner of usgtronic cargocultism, they pretend to themselves as a captive audience that they've embraced&extended successfully.
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: authentic fear in the sweat and authentic blood on the instruments or no dice.
mircea_popescu: they have this in bdsm too, you know, rabid idiots doing "scenes", where they pretend like they're doing it.
mircea_popescu: eh, scensters don't count.
mircea_popescu: correct module shall be written under the whip and in no other place.
mircea_popescu: "the linux way" works for as long as.
mircea_popescu: or rather, ad-hoc modularization, in point of fact yet another necessarily failed attempt to go out of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704268 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is a fine example of why modularization sucks.
mircea_popescu: tsk
mircea_popescu: dwym!
mircea_popescu: better escape everything than special-escape some and then be stranded.
mircea_popescu: phf's codepoint idea is powerful indeed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what did you use for say & ? replaced with &#38 ? in which case does &#34 work for " ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757845 << mp-wp does ('"') natively, of course. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: then once that's established "fish in the sad patches bin" can go into the "how to participate" list ☟︎
mircea_popescu: prolly should have a dedicated sad patches bin
mircea_popescu: how did that bit go, http://trilema.com/2016/why-is-that/#selection-73.133-91.74
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is a not-so-interesting path to travel. on it we soon arive to "topsort is req'd util, lives on the box".
mircea_popescu: i'm sure. nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: yes, well, restaurants provide forks.
mircea_popescu: so it can be used outta box.
mircea_popescu: as long as it ships with keccak i don't care what other nonsense i will never read is included by possibility.
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: there's ~no reason to have legacy DSA sigs in tmsr-rsa ; similarilyt why would i support sha2 in v ?
mircea_popescu: exactly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the history stays, i'm sure. why not ?
mircea_popescu: if they are, and ONLY if they are, they can stfu and regrind everything until i get bored of it.
mircea_popescu: except, of course, should they be amenable to sucking a lot of cock labeled inconvenience.
mircea_popescu: it is THEIR FAULT that such a wish can not currently be granted.
mircea_popescu: people who want their work of today to stand ~forever are more than welcome to quit "programming", pick up assassination as a vocation, go murder everyone with a wikipedia article / mentioned on hacker news.
