cazalla: gmaxwell, what about #b-a is not
to your liking?
gmaxwell: This channel isn't usually
to my
taste, but I knew some here would appricate
this latest BCF lolspectacular.
thestringpuller: gmaxwell: now
that is a name I have not seen in a long long
time.
gmaxwell: BingoBoingo: nah, it seperately
tracks 'counterparty' value, like a colored coin,
the bitcoin is irrelevant, and just gets around
the fact
that bitcoin core won't relay 0 value
txouts and miners are lazy and don't change defaults.
BingoBoingo: To
the best of my knowledge
the counterparty altcoin s just BTC
that's mislabeled when you look at it
through
their wallet
gmaxwell: (well
the UI doesn't prevent it, but
the user appears
to have
the private key for it.)
gmaxwell: looks like one can just
take
the 0.0021 BTC and not vote.
gmaxwell: looks like for each voter
they fund
them with 0.0021 BTC (and some amount of 'counterparty' altcoin, I dunno how
to
tell how much)
gmaxwell: They have some hacked up flaky counterparty wallet software
that gives you some preset destitions
to vote.
gmaxwell: fluffypony: looks like it, hard
to
tell
this system is opaque doesn't seem
to be publically documented.
gmaxwell: sadly
they didn't use
this in round 1 where a real statement could be made by buying all
the votes and assigning
them
to a joke candidate.
fluffypony: how are
the votes authenticated? based on
the address
they're coming from?
gmaxwell: Another interesting property is
that it should be
trivial
to buy votes with
this
thing.
gmaxwell: yea, I actually
thought
there work
there more or less made sense; it had some liability (since
they couldn't seem
to resist letting people
think
they 'spoke for bitcoin') but it generally seemed
to be going okay. Mostly burning pointless peoples pointless
time, sure; but it was nice having _someone_ in combatting all
the really agressive fud
that some 'bitcoin alternatives' are slinging.
BingoBoingo: I mean
they were not doing
too bad when
they were just burning various agencies'
time, but
then
they just pivoted and stopped doing
that
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2015 17:39:09; mircea_popescu:
this is exactly like suicide :
the people who succeed we want.
the people who fail should have succeeded.
gmaxwell: I also like
that contacting Jinyoung Englund
to report how buste
things are, gets me a "I am out of
the office Weds, February 25
through Sunday, March 1, 2015"
gmaxwell: Org seems
to be doing its damndest
to commit suicide.
gmaxwell: oh
the jim harper options are up now
too.
gmaxwell: At
the moment it seems all you can do is vote in favor of Olivier Janssens (thats why I'm able
to see
the address
there),
the rest of
the options are coming up as "not available yet"
BingoBoingo: I am astounded at all of
the ways
they manage
to keep screwing
this election.
punkman: well at least
they didn't do another fork
to implement colored voting coins or whatever
gmaxwell: (the site is so broken
that I'm having a hard
time extracting addresses for
the other options)
gmaxwell: So if you want
to block Olivier Janssens from getting approved; for example get miners
to just block payments
to 1MG6SSwK2qSASM2QgBez2g4YFe3ib4d2eL.
gmaxwell: man y'all will get a kick out of
the latest foundation lol-event.
They have some _utterly_ braindead 'blockchain voting' scheme for
their board vote run off (gotta love changing voting infrastructure mid election for election integrity)
☟︎ ben_vulpes: if it's not one
thing it's a dang nother.

cazalla: mmm home made potato gnocchi with muh
tomato/chilli sauce (both from garden) and chorizo.. just missing a beer :\
☟︎ decimation: all
the examples I've found start with a 1
ben_vulpes: jurov, asciilifeform: as
though "lisp" and "algol" even exist as actual
things.
mats: granted,
they were
trounced in ... northern africa? my ww2 history knowledge languishes.
mats: SS didn't get stomped multiple
times and asked
to enjoy it.
decimation: asciilifeform: why does usg keep wanting
to bring back
the cold war? nostalgia?
decimation: at least as long as
the dollars keep rolling
decimation: unfortunately,
this means
that
the current population of
the military is strongly selected for nominal loyalty
to usg
mats: too much political fuckery, civ and mil, for any useful body
to bear
mats: the clever ones are already losing
their minds in group
decimation: mats: I've witnessed
that happening
too
mats: give it another four years and all
the useful combat vets will have exited
the service out of sheer disgust
mats: that post is silly.
the guard would fail overnight.
decimation: "Oh I'm
totally an awesome diplomat, look at my years of usg experience!"
mats: "They have been persisting in
their misrepresentations, lies, whatever you want
to call
them, about
their activities
there
to my face"
decimation: or maybe Obama fires people for failing
to deliever?
decimation: who is accountable
to a chain of bosses who ultimately account
to
themselves
decimation: actually
there's a deeper problem. When you 'work' for a 'democracy', your boss is 'the people'
decimation: so, sure some feds are way underpaid, but
the majority are overpaid losers
decimation: re: federal employees overpaid < I suspect
the whole system operates as a net with a hole - all
the
talent get sucked in and immediately leaves, but
the bottom suckers end up 'caught'
decimation: how do you negrate
the city of chicago
ben_vulpes: "boring, world's going
to hell in a handbasket."
ben_vulpes: this "snore" attitude is part and parcel of
the decay.
mircea_popescu: “It’s sort of an open secret among attorneys
that regularly make police station visits,
this place – if you can’t find a client in
the system, odds are
they’re
there,” said Chicago lawyer Julia Bartmes.
mircea_popescu: part of
the reason nasdaq would like it
to is
that it's yet anopther "make bitcoin more like fiat retardness"
assbot: The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site' | US news |
The Guardian ... (
http://bit.ly/1AIGUR4 )
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller part of
the reason it doesn't matter is
that nasdaq would like it
to.
mircea_popescu: <mats> i'm not certain
that submission as evidence nullifies IP rights << it's a right nightmare.
Vexual: Only
took a week and everyone happy
Vexual: New rules for foreign investors buying real estate in oz. You pay a small lubrication fee
to
the firb and despite any n shell companies you are liable for
theoretical noncompliance fines.
mats: i'm not certain
that submission as evidence nullifies IP rights
mats: hm, 'Citizenfour' is public domain due
to being used as evidence in a suit
mircea_popescu: <mats> and anyway i like
to see what people offended by mp are up
to << lol me
too. but
this guy... he's not offended, he's just
trying
to you knwo, "make it in
this game".
assbot: devsata.c - inferno-kirkwood - Inferno for
the Marvell Kirkwood/Sheevaplug - Google Project Hosting ... (

mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> (oh, and
those "experts" in rails/django/yii/whatever
tend
to swallow wholesale whatever braindamage comes out of
the "community") <<
that's because
these are experts in groupthink, having come of age in
the 90s at
the earliest.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> idk. noobs will make sites. and
their wordpress blogs will be used in ddos reflection attacks. what can you do. << kvetch
cazalla: actually
there is a new report.. may as well write it up
cazalla: plus
the paedos have
the gall
to use legitimate services such as Bitcoin
cazalla: microsft really enable
these rapes because not only do
the paedos use skype, but
they use windows as well
cazalla: thestringpuller, yeah, i was gonna write it up under heading of hundreds of paedos use microsoft products
to rape kids, but actually covered
the report
the above article mentions back in october or november last year
cazalla: it's old news btw, for some reason
they dug up a report from last year and ran it
today as new
thestringpuller: Adlai: drafting
them
to spec is difficult sometimes. Like coming up with a good statement of work, or an SLA
Adlai: if anything, GPG contracts are
too easy
to use
gribble: evoorhees was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 31 weeks, 4 days, 23 hours, 29 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <evoorhees> I need
to go for now, on later
mats: (the ones
that used
to hang here, anyway)
mats: and anyway i like
to see what people offended by mp are up
to
