kakobrekla: >slot to put an intended name in
< i can put a space in that field when in online bank as it should not be blank - and it works. i wonder if this would pass a bank worker. "no no, i did write empty spaces there"
pete_dushenski: "Last year I intended to transfer £760 from the Halifax to my Nationwide account. Unfortunately, I mistyped a digit of the account number and the money went to a stranger."

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273847 << cuz at the time it wasn't exactly clear how this'd work (as the contract is a future on a yet nonexistent pair) and cuz i wanted it to be a negotiable instrument rather than a specified thing, specifically because that sort of vague future deal requires some room to wiggle.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: So the people in #bitcoin-xt have
<<< i'm like wtf, srsly ? /join #bitcoin-xt turns out there's one other guy there and williamdunne made the chan. lol. mkay.
ascii_field: 'nocrypto uses bits of C, similarly to other cryptographic libraries written in high-level languages. This was actually less of a performance concern, and more of a security one: for the low-level primitives which are tricky to implement and for which known, compact and widely used code already exists, the implementation is probably better reused. The major pitfall we hoped to avoid that way are side-channel attacks.'
<< ascii_field: if you can't verify a block in
<10min GUARANTEED you don't have a computer.
BingoBoingo:
<ascii_field> need a clean room and full-time staff to make use of the output.
<< Cleanroom is the easy part. Staff and actually packaging are far harder
trinque: ascii_field | kakobrekla: mircea_popescu's implication was that it ought to be a sane continuation of what gentoo once was (a linux for literate folks to use)
<< danielpbarron was able to produce something with my script

☟︎ BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> there's gotta be a complete bitcoin distro. kernel and all.
<< What, rotor stopped making enough Linux?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes:
<< i have always wondered! why do mircea_popescu's contracts /always have names/ in addition to the fingerprints?
<< array of conveniences. your govt id includes your name aside from your number too.
mircea_popescu:
<gernika> I feared as much.
<< the objection is valid, and in no way different from "you can have a working os, i sort-of have one here, it's made out of 400 pieces and i could maybe remake it if i had a week off."
mircea_popescu: and go to great lengths to manually bypass barriers
<< incidentally, this is why a b-a linux is such a low hanging fruit.
danielpbarron: cazalla> danielpbarron, what's competitive smb3?
<< the game can be played "2 player" and each player has a separate score. You get the most points from time left over on the counter, so it's not usually a good idea to go back for coins.
mircea_popescu:
<trinque> maybe 75% because I want in-WoT warez
<< win.
danielpbarron: trinque mentally hops sideways to Chrono Trigger
<< I got the official snes cartridge. I understand it's one of the more popular games from that era, but personal fav was "Secret of Mana"
mircea_popescu:
<nubbins`> mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just as good as anywhere else
<< no. my argument is that if you're refugeeing, where you go to refugee discriminates you. if you go to the eu, you're a scumbag. if you go to tanzania, you're somebody.
mircea_popescu: * trinque [...] a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me
<< for the record, i don't think very much of this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you think a little about it, so would you. a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into the position of DEPENDING on a kid ? that's what you're saying. don't say that, not only is it not true it's also very stupid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
<diana_coman> you mean you get a teaspoon of honey whenever he has a tantrum ? :)))
<< ehehehe see, this is why women are stuck with raising kids.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272772 << it's very funny to me that all sorts of social media derps take total umbrage to my stating things like "your sexual parts are collectively owned by the otyher gender", but then the community-ownership oif the product thereof is fairly uncontroversial. this is best proof if one needs proof that no, people don't do anything because.
