decimation: yeah I like the surprisingly reactionary 'election'
hanbot: i guess "unactivated" is the socially acceptable term for nonhuman. and here i thought it was the concept itself that bothered folks.
mircea_popescu: well, whadda they want, bitcoin scam foundation sold lifetime seats and ran out of money. of course it's not gonna honor them
assbot: Bg002h comments on Looks like over 80% of Bitcoin Foundation members are not allowed to vote in the current election - including several candidates & current board members. ... ( http://bit.ly/19iWv0t )
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just that Brian Goss disenfranchised all of those paying derple https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2vw8sk/looks_like_over_80_of_bitcoin_foundation_members/colkoy6
asciilifeform: 'Less than 20% of Bitcoin Foundation members will be eligible to vote due to a new requirement that members "activate" their accounts. Even if they are candidates, current board members, regularly participate in the foundation message boards or are actively involved with the foundation. Even those who just joined within the last month would not be able to vote unless they performed the additional step of "activating" accounts.'

mircea_popescu: well, i would imagine if they actually aim to be female they'd miss having a cunt more than having a dick.
Bagels7: I never asked but I might assume they miss having a dick
Bagels7: okay so i heard that there are some who lose their sex drive and become some sort of bitter bitch but they must have been the ones that were confused or coherced
mircea_popescu: well, i guess maybe you're better connected in the group than me. i mostly know clinicians.
Bagels7: yes, mainly them i had in mind
Bagels7: yeah but they call themselves women not transsexuals
Bagels7: how are there no "happy postop transsexuals"
Bagels7: so i was reading trilema.com, just gets me wound up sometimes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That too
wpalczynski: cant really recall to be honest with you
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo also the yen's kinda weak.
BingoBoingo: Japanese companies tend towards similarly high share prices because of a lack of splits
wpalczynski: is that reallyt what it trades at?
mircea_popescu: well, berkshire is kind-of famous for this reason. you never heard of it ?
wpalczynski: ive just never seen a share of any company worth nearly that much
wpalczynski: not new to finance
mircea_popescu: are you new to all this, wpalczynski ?
TheNewDeal: ;;later tell TomServo I'm in town this evening, out tomorrow morn. Will be back thursday
wpalczynski: what are they talking about? how can one share be trading at 185k?
mircea_popescu: note the dates.

wpalczynski: what do you guys make of this btc rise? any new behind it?
Bagels7: why the up?
mircea_popescu: these people and their narcissistic delusions of self importance.
joecool: *shrugs* stranger things have happened
mircea_popescu: joecool lol maybe you're the head of the black jews.
thestringpuller: eventually i plan to run cron job that pulls data from kako's w.b-a.link api
thestringpuller: Nah its a static graph. And I need to redo one of the algorithms to only list those with L2 trust, a few pop up that shouldn't be there.
joecool: thestringpuller: is that only importing from gribble's wot when a new member joins the -assets wot?
joecool: need to get trust in -assets, i look like the leader of a splinter faction on here http://cookiechief.com/wotviz/ lol
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: re: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2014#922646 << is this why a lot of the US's rockets blew up during "apollo" or what not? ☝︎
thestringpuller: dat time travel.
mod6: Anyway, none of this really matters until we can get a statically linked build.
mod6: There's a lot of moving parts in there, and deps. It's hard to put a finger on what exactly it is, right now. Especially since we are all using slightly different environments. Too many variable.s
mod6: We'll figure it out at somepoint. I think, for now the important thing is that we have a workaround.
mod6: as you just proved, it'll make it past it sometimes, and sometimes not. im sure there is some sort of reason for this, but we dont know what it is at this time.
thestringpuller: for if I wanted to test that.
mod6: it probably will take a while.
thestringpuller: do you have specific usecase for inducing the wedge?
mod6: aight. so yeah, stay tuned. as soon as I get anything working with static libs and static linking of the output object files from the bitcoin source base, I'll give an update.
thestringpuller: they have sentenced me to writing ruby for slave labor
mod6: makes for a larger output binary (by about 10mb) but is more safe incase someone were to do something nasty with a lib that is dynamically linked
thestringpuller: okay i see. been a lot longer than I realize before really looking at C/C++ code. (although this i pretty much all boost which I guess alf pointed out)
mod6: it will build all of the necessary things inside of the output binary, instead of leaving that stuff to call out to a seperate place
mod6: for the last 48 hours i've been working on trying to get it to build against static libs.
thestringpuller: what's the benefit of static linking?
mod6: it'll build, it'll build the `bitcoind` binary dyamically linked.
mod6: what sentence tsp?
thestringpuller: well this is from pl script v 0.0.8?
mod6: when statically linking via the makefile.unix that's included with v0.5.3, I can't even get mine to compile correctly. So, I'll be spending a lot of time probably re-writing the entire makefile
punkman: I compiled and run up to wedge on deb 7
thestringpuller: i didn't grok that sentence sorry
mod6: ok thats awesome. although, i think what everyone has been running up to now is a dynamically linked version of the output binary. which shouldn't even be availab.e
mod6: thanks for testing. if you put together a pastebin of your findings: `./bitcoind getinfo` `openssl version -a`, etc. that would be helpful for our permutation matrix
thestringpuller: if it gets current blockheight, i'll open up ports and run this as my full node instead of 0.8 version was tricked in to using.
mod6: you might be the first to be testing on deb7, not sure.
thestringpuller: Ah. damn that was so long ago ~_~
mod6: so its totally inconsistant
mod6: and recently, TomServo was able to fully sync the blockchain with config: v0.5.3 + patches + { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 } AND with openssl v0.9.8o
mod6: well, remember, I've personally gotten past that block probably a dozen times with openssl 0.9.8o with config: v0.5.3 + patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, & 6 }
thestringpuller: it's also slow as molasses and they want to increase the size of these blocks?
thestringpuller: i don't think it will if its running 0.9.8 ssl
mod6: If you got past 168,001 without any erros reported in `./bitcoind getinfo` then you should be alright.
mod6: <+thestringpuller> mod6: ben_vulpes it got past the wedge <+thestringpuller> "blocks" : 164713 << looks to me like you just hit a spot where it was slow, maybe a lot of disconnected blocks. this isn't the "wedge" block we were hitting. tx we had issues with (VerifiySignature) was in block 168,001. It's all in the logs.
trinque: kicked it up to a bigger ec2 instance; not exactly a mindboggling increase in the rate of munching blocks
trinque: redid the thing with the bootstrap torrent on the server, and it's on mid december as of now
trinque: mircea_popescu: btcd chewed up a drive on me; that stream of "adding orphan block" was preceded by an input/output error barf
cazalla: danielpbarron: he's never worked for a living in his life <<< maybe he can get a job as a postman because he never fails to deliver
cazalla: way to butcher PseudoNode spelling
punkman feels no need to talk about bitcoin with random people or meet local bitcoin holders
Adlai: hanging onto cash during times of trouble is rather similar to 'hodl'
Adlai: social, in the sense that you hold fiat because that's what everybody else holds
asciilifeform: that the main (if not only) obstacle to holding is a social one << wai, wat?! nobody has to know if you have btc
Adlai: well, ok, not anybody, those that have learned from being marginalized that 'society' isn't necessarily acting on any good reason
Adlai: my first 'irl friend' who became a holder has remarked that the main (if not only) obstacle to holding is a social one; so anybody who has been marginalized their entire life (in this case, we were discussing religious minorities, but this equally applies to the 'functionally insane') is automatically more receptive than the mean
mircea_popescu: * Adlai wonders what such a person's shrink would think if first hearing about bitcoin from such a patient << srsly.
danielpbarron: i'm not sure how much of it he sincerely believes, and how much is an attempt to get a rise out of me
asciilifeform: mbers of Americans, both rich and poor, would regard Limonov's behavior as nothing short of despicable: a foreign author living in America on public assistance while also earning cash! It seems reasonable that the rich should feel that way; if the poor can't be made miserable, then what exactly is the point of being rich?'
asciilifeform: in need of some free money but are otherwise perfectly content. Although it is just as possible to be poor and happy in America as anywhere else, here one must make a choice: to avoid any number of unpleasant situations, one must be careful to hide either the fact that one is poor, or the fact that one is happy. If free public money is to be obtained, then only the latter choice remains. It is another curious fact that vast nu
asciilifeform: 'The Russian author Eduard Limonov wrote of his experiences with poverty in America. To his joy, he discovered that he could supplement his cash earnings with public assistance. But he also quickly discovered that he had to keep this joy well hidden when showing up to collect his free money. It is a curious fact that in America public assistance is only made available to the miserable and the downtrodden, not to those who are

asciilifeform: plenty of folks get their daily bread from $sponsor while hating with exquisite hate
danielpbarron: yes; he gets checks from the state for being crazy
asciilifeform: why the surge of 'i love the fuhrer'
danielpbarron: he has nothing better to do, and has apparently been obsessing about me
asciilifeform: and did i miss some political wank or other? did they have a public impalement of heretics on the washington monument, and i missed this ?
punkman: danielpbarron: why the hardon for you?
asciilifeform: gavinandresen_ has quit (Client Quit) << lol! the real deal?
punkman: wasn't he the fellow with the broken dick?
asciilifeform: how many? two?
asciilifeform: i go out for just one hour to workshop, and what do you know, we have new surrender-monkeys ?
punkman: ruin_dpbs_life: danielpbarron: you're a dead man i'm going to fucking do whatever it takes to hurt you << lolwut
mircea_popescu: what's this, democracy ?
