PeterL: lol, bitcoin is not meant
to be on a phone
sjsqd: and I live in a city where
the government evolves quickly
sjsqd: and I really like
the idea of being able
to carry around my money on my phone
sjsqd: but I've read as much as my mind can understand on it (I'm not a coder
though)
sjsqd: downloaded
the mining software, my ADD kicked in
sjsqd: I understand
the idea of bitcoin universes, I didn't get into it
to make a quick buck selling for cash or anything
sjsqd: I don't personally listen
to
them but
there are some interesting
topics
PeterL: I would much prefer
to read an article
than
to listen
to some guy
talking
assbot: Qntra Reaffirms
That
The WoT And IRC Yeshiva Are In No Way Optional | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

sjsqd: let's
talk bitcoin is interesting because
there are quite a few podcasts and such
sjsqd: danielpbarron:I was referring
to a different blog
sjsqd: BingoBoingo:thanks I'll have a look on
there
sjsqd: even with hundreds of
thousands of page views I only ever made about 70 USD over 2-3 years
☟︎ BingoBoingo: sjsqd: Anyway
the qntra
thing can probably also help with some background on differences between
the Vessenes' foundation and
the (dot)foundation
sjsqd: I used
to blog years and years ago
sjsqd: so its nice
to have a little coming in from writing
sjsqd: according
to poloniex 180k is about 0.16
sjsqd: because I made some posts saying
the website wasn't adequate in certain
terms
sjsqd: I found out about let's
talk bitcoin via
the foundation forums (andresen forums if you want
to call it
that)
sjsqd: there is an editor
too who makes my posts more readable
sjsqd: not enough
to live on
sjsqd: (I'm pretty sure I'm allowed
to disclose
that)
sjsqd: but I am holding
the LTBcoin
sjsqd: I got about 180k for
the first one
danielpbarron: sjsqd, how many LTBcoin did you get for writing
those?
sjsqd: thanks for
the pointer
sjsqd: ahh I see
the URL for logs in
the
title
sjsqd: BingoBoingo: I'm not
that well acquainted with how
the different clients originated or
their quality, more just a question of whether it is a bitcoin or an altcoin client; from what I understand it is a bitcoin client
jurov: sjsqd, you can peruse
the searchable logs here,
too
BingoBoingo: <sjsqd> but works with bitcoin just
the same as any other client (multibit etc) does? << Very different from multibit. Multibit is based on
the Hearn BitcoinJ
turd.
ben_vulpes: the goal is
to do
that and nothing more.
sjsqd: thanks for your
time
sjsqd: ok I will save everyone's
time and look
through
the mailing list, I might return with some further questions later on
ben_vulpes: the question under consideration is "what precisely does it mean
to bitcoinate?"
nubbins`: slowly bringing it closer
to
the ideal of "one program
to do one
task"
ben_vulpes: a right, asciilifeform excised
the dns.
nubbins`: rather
than add more fat
to
the same, which is how
the current "bitcoin core" release came
to be
nubbins`: the goal is
to
trim
the fat from
the oldest still-working code base
sjsqd: but works with bitcoin just
the same as any other client (multibit etc) does?
nubbins`: each patch is intended
to be small enough
that a human can read and understand it
sjsqd: but I assume
the client you work on is different
to bitcoin core?
☟︎ nubbins`: based on
the original 0.5.3 source code, with plain ol' unix patches applied
to de-turdify it
sjsqd: I guess
the
term official/alternative isn't
the best
to use
jurov: it should be stripped
to bare minimum first
jurov: no it's
the original client
nubbins`: it's
the official foundation client :D
sjsqd: I'm still quite new
to bitcoin, is
the client
that you release an alternative client?
sjsqd: nubbins`:given
the current state of foundation communications it is actually quite difficult
to ascertain exactly what it is
tasked with doing
nubbins`: sjsqd
the latest foundation release is 0.5.3.1
PeterL: is gmaxwell associated with
the phoundation? I remember him coming by here a few
times
nubbins`: making
the codebase not a steaming pile of shit
sjsqd: I will probably be publishing a
third at some point
this week
sjsqd: This is
the first article I made if anyone is interested
sjsqd: ok great, I will keep a record of
this channel in my notes
then
BingoBoingo: sjsqd:
That foundation has never really had any
transparency. Vessenes birthed it in
the shadows and snuck out
the same way.
nubbins`: think of
them as
the foundation and
the phoundation, with
the other guys being
the ph
sjsqd: I will look at
the mailing list, if I have further questions is
there any email address I could use or is
this IRC channel
the best method of communication?
sjsqd: its certainly interesting
to see
two foundations with
the same name (:
sjsqd: nubbins`:
the goal of my articles is
to
try and ascertain how
transparently
the foundation currently operates
sjsqd: do you know if anyone from
the previous foundation is aware of it?
☟︎ nubbins`: if you check
the mailing list archives on
the .foundation website,
there's a bunch of stuff
there
sjsqd: I have done quite an amount of research on
the foundation but never seen
this page
nubbins`: sjsqd
the only official statements are PGP-signed statements from members of assbot's wot
PeterL: this new foundations works on
the assumption
that
the previous one does not exist
jurov: sjsqd:
the original one is
the pirate one
sjsqd: but is it correct
to
title it as
the 'pirate' bitcoin foundation?
sjsqd: I couldn't find much reference
to
the original foundation in
the documentation
sjsqd: I'm writing some articles on
the bitcoin foundation via Let's
Talk Bitcoin
PeterL: asciilifeform: why do you say he did not get
the message?
PeterL: I am sure you can search for "search engine optimization", or SEO, and lots of sites will come up who promise
to help
thestringpuller: short ints however are always shorter
than long ints hence
the name
thestringpuller: mike_c: lies. all lies.
this is only if you use strict
typing and you machine is coherent. every machine
treats it differently!
jurov: the downside is, generated code for complicated diagrams isn't anything you'd want
to show
to anyone
jurov: it isn't faster
to create
the code, but it makes it sooo easier
to find
the right place where stuff needs
to be fixed
jurov: trinque, have you
tried drakon editor? i actually use it for business logic
PeterL: why in c is a long int
the same size as int?
☟︎ mod6: jurov: so as far as shorter release cycles, i
think going forward
they will be.
the foundation will focus on say, one specific problem and
then
tackle it, patch it, and
then regression
test, release.
jurov: so
that no one mistakes
that for release
jurov: set
the version
to 0.5.3.x.dev
