mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i haven't / don't intend
to because a) anyone who can grasp
the abstraction already knows it ; b) anyone likely
to benefit from
the description probably can't read.
BingoBoingo: jurov: Commenting out
that section of main.cpp you highlighted and making a junk public alert key
turned into a build of 0.8.6
that's been running fine for about 20 hours nao
cazalla: please just let me
take solace in
the one fucking
thing my missus can do right
cazalla: mircea_popescu, no no, wife
talk
to washing machine
mircea_popescu buys ballgag factory shares. cleary
there's a future for
these.
cazalla: IHB, why do you want your car
to
talk
to your washing machine instead of your wife?
IHB: humans have already fucked with
this planet we are in our own epoch Anthropence
BingoBoingo: <IHB> i can't weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up
to you guys. my stomach
tells me
the blocksize should not be raised and if people want
to do other stuff
they can peg
their btc
to a sidechain, if
that ever becomes reality. << Not an unreasonable
thing. Settlement happens on
the blockchain small amounts dick around on distraction chain.
IHB: like washing machines
talking
to cars
IHB: i would be happy just holding my bitcoin. but only if
there was a way
to get all
this other stuff done, you know
the stuff we call bloat
IHB: i can't weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up
to you guys. my stomach
tells me
the blocksize should not be raised and if people want
to do other stuff
they can peg
their btc
to a sidechain, if
that ever becomes reality.
mircea_popescu: and
there's obviously no defense. valid
txn will be relayed.
mircea_popescu: 2.67 gb a day extra. whatever
that costs, every node is stuck with it.
mircea_popescu: very cheap way
to attack
the gavincoin,
too. 20-1 = 19, so
then each day costs an extra
BingoBoingo: IHB: And
the
thing is it is a one
time cost
to
the attacker
to attack by committing bloat
IHB: well, i am glad i had a reason
to be confused
mircea_popescu: if
they end up being larger, it becomes more of an attack. if
they're large enough, sure, you can deny usage of
the network
this way.
IHB: won't it cost a lot of money
to do
that?
mircea_popescu: first
time i got a report like
this, so mebbe wait and see ? mebbe your mail server's slow ?
IHB: so if we don't have
the cap it is possible for a miner
to load blocks up with spam? and
this in
turn will weaken
the network?
IHB: <+mircea_popescu> i never got
the address
to send
the .01 BTC
BingoBoingo: I believe
the 1mb limit was only put in out of fear
to protect us from a potential attack. << Was explicitly put in place
to make attacks by bloating
the blockchain uneconomical
IHB: i never ran into it until
today
mircea_popescu: it's in fact
the first paywall on any content site on
the internet.
BingoBoingo: he recently put a btc paywall on his personal blog. << IHB been around multiple years. Since early 2013 when I finally started
talking
to people.
mircea_popescu: also,
the paywall on
trilema is a) older
than bitcoin and b) older
than
the new york
time's.
IHB: not everyone is as
talented as you when it comes
to words [feces]
cazalla: IHB,
this is your scratch pad eh?
mircea_popescu: as a general rule : strike out all paragraphs
that contain
the pronoun "I" see what's left.
BingoBoingo:
http://trilema.com/ has
threatened
to bring
the house down and if he is successful,
then so be it. << IHB you prolly want
to link MPEx.co as
the actor and particular
trilema pieces justifying
the MPEx position
mircea_popescu: this doesn't mean me and eight other dudes get
to vote on how
to use gavin's wife.
mircea_popescu: sure, 9 out of 10 people enjoy
themselves at any gangbang.
mircea_popescu: the concept of voting re bitcoin is not unlike
the concept of voting re sex.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i read you have like 100k of
those pogos eh
BingoBoingo: IHB:
That
tweet is from ??? about ? hard
to squeeze meaningful context into
that space
IHB: @petertoddbtc @trilema @oocBlog @BryceWeiner @JustusRanvier @fredwilson @balajis In regards
to scalability and
the perceived
threat facing
the bitcoin ecosystem I am still not convinced we have a problem here. Gavin has been
talking about
this for a little while now and it shouldn’t surprise anyone of us
that he is publicly
trying
to get a proposal ready so
the full nodes can vote on it. 1. If 80% of
the full nodes v
IHB: ok,
this is still a WIP, but i want
to make sure i understand
IHB: i haven't had
time and lot of changes are being pushed
through. was working on an api
that will be launched with it. hopefully it will be useful
cazalla: IHB, i mean, i gotta use 3 finger scrolls
to get
to
the meat of it.. i don't even give
the missus
that much
BingoBoingo: cazalla: You ever
try reading coinfire on Mobile? We're kicking
their ass on pnoHe friendly layout nao
cazalla: IHB, i can give you some feedback on your site design instead if you like? 2.0
type shit sucks
BlueMeanie4: then somewhere between '13 and '14
they want batshit insane about all
these other ideas
BlueMeanie4: its starting
to become clear
that
the whole
thing was a ponzi
to begin with
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Well I
think
there was some Gox/China synergy.
TheNewDeal: I
think gox falsely propped it up
to
the previous ath, not
to say anything about a possibility of return
to said prices

BlueMeanie4: so who
thinks bitcoin is going
to crash further?
nanotube: yea not quite
the full fancypants xml-wot from
the ideal world, but
this will go most of
the way and be much more likely
to actually happen.
mircea_popescu: federated wots best way
to un-centralize
this problem, i believe.
nanotube: <nanotube> once
that system is operational, integrating multiple federated databases will be
trivial and will involve no
trust.
mircea_popescu: only impossible outcome here is, for idiot policemen
to stop being defrauded like redditards.
mircea_popescu: and
the LAST
thing she's looking for
tuesday mornings is seeing her name on my blog in
that context.
mircea_popescu: not so simple.
the chick at
the end, kovesi ? she's fanatical.
mircea_popescu: rural policeman reported
the attempted bribe by some guy
that cut 1.7 cubic meters of wood illegally.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the so called "Departamentul de Informaţii şi Protecţie Internă" ie, informations & internal protection dept is
the biggest loser here.
mircea_popescu: dude, don't
tell me stories. policeman
thinks 120% is koshert ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the general point here being : we investigate
too.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps, but it would be very un-USG of
the era
to not be running
trials in parallel with minimal disclosure
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, much of
the meth
toxixity literature is from 1940's and 1950's when it was prefered USG go pill before being replaced by gentler amphetamines
mircea_popescu: if somebody still has a
twitter account, be a kitten
tweet my last @maigov
to see some really embarassed romanian police.
BingoBoingo: "This dilemma is particularly strong for researchers in
the areas of operating systems and networking,
two areas in which Windows NT is considered
to be especially weak. With DARPA project lifetimes
typically in
the
two- or
three-year range, PIs must swallow hard before agreeing
to
take
two giant steps back in order
to begin
their research on a Windows NT
technology base."
BingoBoingo: ardware operating systems for naïve users.
The reason, however, is irrelevant, because
the fact remains
that users are using Windows."
BingoBoingo: "For all intents and purposes, it is reasonable
to assume
that all of DARPA’s customers already use computers in
their work. Furthermore,
they have been using computers for years.
They have developed
their own procedures and policies
that are not conveniently switched
to a different operating environment at
the drop of a hat. And
they are all using Windows.
They are all using Windows because it is
the superior choice for Intel-h
