ben_vulpes: although is
that
the hash of
the existing block or
the incoming block and are
they even
the same?
ben_vulpes: << considering running 'getblockhash 233764' and seeing if it returns
the same hash
ben_vulpes: although hard
to
tell if its getting blocks it already has or just 'heights' it already has
cazalla: mircea_popescu, ya know what i'm yet
to figure out about such pics, under what circumstances do people get naked like
this at a wedding?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's
traditionally a device
to humiliate
the girls, but
the degree!
ben_vulpes: as a side note, it's lovely
to see pastebin die
the good death.
cazalla: i
think
this was from 0.8.6 or maybe 0.8.3 install, can't remember
ben_vulpes: anyways cazalla your mission should you choose
to accept it is
to run down some useful debug information from a 0.8.6
that refuses
to sync. i suggest booting your bitcoind with
the -debug flag.
ben_vulpes: well you have places
to hunt now don't you? and a foundation
to whom
to report shitgnomery in
the wild?
ben_vulpes: and
then
THEN you need
to point
the
thing at a known-good node and see if you get
the same results.
ben_vulpes: <cazalla> ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot
to backup blocks so i had
to dl it all again, but not able
to do so despite blowing about 100gb on
trying << dude i need more
than
this
ben_vulpes: gemini being
the replacement-in-the-wings
mircea_popescu: well considering all
the bezzle poured in, it should be d.cbse
ben_vulpes: who's
the fractional reserve
this
time?

ben_vulpes: <bagehot> [04:12] Another argument I've heard is
that
thing like 'money' and
the 'economy' exist as
they are because of some constraints
that are present in
the natural world and so
those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors << it's called
thermodynamics
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell bagehot "normative statement" << actually now i'm not so sure i want
to be around you at all even
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell bagehot lmk if you want a hand with setting up networks off of
the mainchain

ben_vulpes: <bagehot> [02:58]
the keys used
to keep bitcoins a store of value are. << wat
mircea_popescu: and so for
them erring
that way is sensible. but in actual fact... good god,
the world is better off.
mircea_popescu: im sure if someone burned down reddit loads of future intellectuals will be all "o noes,
the
treasures lost". because
they don't exactly know.
mircea_popescu: if
the people
that wrote
them weren't idiots,
the books wouldn't have been burned.
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't particularly share
the worries of most intellectuals abnout
the various books burned during history.
mircea_popescu: that's
the important
thing about colonialism : it is a plain statement of
the fundamental worthlessness of
the locals. what it says is
that
their culture is not worth reading.
mircea_popescu: that's
the point of colonialism : much like b-a, you may only join it nude.
mircea_popescu: colonialism is about coopting
the locals on its own
terms only.
ben_vulpes: decimation, mircea_popescu: ksr, "We could be intruding on alien life." << isn't colonialism about coopting local structure if not eradicating
them entirely?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> presently
the only package of -source- i've succeeded in building into a kernel
that can be used on pogo - was netbsd. << it's over. eat a strategic banana, let
them have
the abandoned fortresses, move
to
the hills and build batteries of cheapish ground and air control devices
to hold no mans land, lick wounds, regroup.
ben_vulpes: <trinque> heh we're fucking children <<
trinque confirmed for gulagdestiny
ben_vulpes: and gypsies (so family legend goes) who assimilated into
the local joomunity.
cazalla: anyway, i have a pogo otw, we'll see what comes of
that next week
ben_vulpes: like gypsies, but according
to
the people in question, 'smarter'
cazalla: but i even
tried 0.10 out of pure frustration and it wouldn't work either.. i actually
think it might be related
to ram in
this pc, memtest86 reports bunch of errors
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no dude, iut's not a real
thing.
the idea was
that somehow
there's a cutoff : up
to moment
t, imigrants are a ok. at
t+1
they're now cattle. well, how do you choose
t ?
ben_vulpes: attempt
to mutate
the state and you
tempt him
cazalla: ya, i know, but i was using 0.8.3 and i have at
times in
the past
thought fuck it, i'll just download
the blockchain after a format
ben_vulpes: state is von neumann peeking
through
the curtain
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot
to backup blocks so i had
to dl it all again, but not able
to do so despite blowing about 100gb on
trying
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'international cattle demarcation line' does not refer
to israel?
ben_vulpes: umpteen fucking centuries of having
the bottom 90% snipped off of your ethnic group is much more pertinent
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:15:53; gabriel_laddel:
the political position of "they're cattle, we're not" is
totally A OK.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you know
the "first shave,
then shoot" one ?
ben_vulpes: i'm well aware
that
this is how
Things Are Done™
ben_vulpes: saifedean: it's
the Alps on
the Riviera << oh god
that sounds amazong
ben_vulpes: wouldn't it be handy
to have a
thing
that could watch
the output of n different 'bitcoin's running in real
time?
ben_vulpes: your 0.8.6 all of a sudden refuses
to sync further?
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 12:53:40; cazalla: and i am stuck using fucking electrum since
then because for some reason, since bitcoin-qt 0.10.0 came out, my old 0.8.3, 0.8.6
throws errors and i can't fully sync and even lame attempt
to
try 0.10.0 falls flat.. i
think maybe memory is fucked
though unrelated, memtest86
throws a bunch of errors
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> said.... everyone ever ? << nah. babes in haus is
totally
the way
to go.
ben_vulpes: but on
the other hand "you're a parent now - you must sacrifice your whole life for
the new life"
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> what's wrong is
the idea
that dependents can push one around in one's own castle. << myup.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bagehot now you can self-voice, pm assbot !up
bagehot: Where is
the 40 character output?
decimation: you might want
to actually have a valid email
too
decimation: bagehot: did you upload it
to a keyserver?
bagehot: For
the <full_gpg_keyid> I'm using
the fifth column I get from
the command gpg --list-keys --with-colon, 60E5BD872B2A6031. I'm getting back 'assbot:
That does not seem
to be a valid fingerprint.'
bagehot: Sorry,
this is probably all RTFM issues, but is it !register <long pgp id>
bagehot: How do I fix
that? I'm mistaken but
thats where I
thought (but no longer do) gribble fit in.
bagehot: Er, when I send !up
to assbot I get 'assbot: bagehot is not registered in WoT.' back
decimation: bagehot: no need for ;;eauth
to gribble, !up
to assbot is sufficient
bagehot: But, how do I prevent getting muted by assbot? I figured I registered a public key with gribble
to register with
the wot and
then it was a matter of ;;eauth and messaging !up
to assbot
Birdman: Right, but
the risk is on my end really if I send
the money. Also, I am
trying
to do a larger volume where my irl contact is uncomfortable doing
mircea_popescu: if you can't use a bank, join a local community and do face
to face.
mircea_popescu: if you can use a bank,
talk
to sturles, he's been doing
the offices of noob introducer since 2010.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think many people do
that, on account of how unreliable it is.
Birdman: Unless
there is another way
to get someone my dollars
Birdman: It'd have
to be a cash in
the mail
thing most likely
Birdman: Hello -assets. I am looking
to dump my dollars for coins and have almost no
trust ratings in
the WoT. Willing
to use an escrow or however it can be
the least risky for both parties if anyone is interested
