mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what happens if you short
the antenna of a wifi device ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: my 0.7.2 node
took 2 or 3 weeks
to full sync << no he's right, it's what it used
to be.
mircea_popescu: or is it
the result of phone interception -> police
telling school
to ask kid -> kid not denying convincingly
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so is
the "fake kidnapped kid" story
the result of "boy
telling school what happened"
mircea_popescu: but
then again, bringing arguments
to people who never had any sort of life experience is not unlike
trying
to give serpents haircuts.
trinque: mircea_popescu: right, I was saying
the "visa is so speed" argument is bullshit
mircea_popescu: days, sure, in
the sense bitcoin
txn confirm "in seconds"
mircea_popescu: trinque: asciilifeform:
the merchant gets
their money in days in
the US << noob. it's date+60.
mircea_popescu: the all union vladimir obama pioneers will certainly enjoy
the eco lantern.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, it's old as in
there was a photo of
the psu dump out last year and it was filmed last year but new as in full clip released
today
mircea_popescu: i once saw a flashlight based on
this principle. a real bitch
to charge << I once
took a design class where
this was a case study of "innovation" and "green" << as it should be. if i recall correctly
the russian name is "labour & light"
cazalla: asciilifeform, prob
the real owner and it's a staff member being interviewed instead

to rent a box at a bank (storage of various paperwork for firm.)
the contract was a hilarious read. bank only insures a box for up
to 25k usd. and specifically excludes damage from robbery, fire, water... virtually anything.

assbot: Welcome
to
the future: Philips HUE iOS app crashes and
they pulled
the app. I can't control my lights anymore. Send help.
danielpbarron: i recall it
taking just as long when i used bootstrap.dat
danielpbarron: and simultaneously
the shorter unstuck node, stopped getting new blocks
danielpbarron: here is something strange: when i sent "getinfo"
to
the longer stuck node, it stapped out of it and started recieving new blocks again
danielpbarron: i'm ok with
that if it's just until
the 2nd catches up
danielpbarron: hm, and now
the 1st pogo (longer chain) is stuck while
the 2nd pulls from it
danielpbarron: ok and now it's getting more
than 500 at a
time connected directly
to eachother.. wtf
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: where did you get
the idea for mpoe?
danielpbarron: going back
to connecting directly
to my 1st pogo in
that case
danielpbarron: the_scourge, have you been
told
to read
the log yet?
the_scourge: what's
the cheapest device
that has usb 3.0? one can get super cheap USB keys on amazon,
that would solve
the problem
danielpbarron: except it's a dirty hack, and
the pogo crashes anyway
danielpbarron: it's supposed
to dump
the orphan blocks stored in memory
to keep
the pogoplug from crashing
the_scourge: asciilifeform: i
take it
the reference is
to
the 'hopelessly out of order' meaning, not
the
traditional definition?
danielpbarron: looks like it's still stopping after 500 blocks even without
the orphan burning
danielpbarron: how can a mom get arrested for kidnapping her own son? was
the dad not in on it or something?
trinque: BingoBoingo:
they didn't sterilize
the 4; doing it wrong
danielpbarron: the pogo with
the longer chain is running
the burner
mod6: ah, my mistake. ascii numbered
the "Orphanage Burner" as v0.5.3.2
danielpbarron: might be errors if you run
that
though; i haven't
tested it since i cleaned it up
to look nice
danielpbarron: so everything on
the homepage of
thebitcoin.foundation + porta-tronic
mod6: it's
the portotronic version v0.5.3.2 right?
danielpbarron: at height=27000
the memory is at like 70% used, no swap
danielpbarron: when i
turn off my 1st pogo and let
the 2nd
talk
to
the rest of
the network, it doesn't hang up on every 500th block; i guess
there is some config variable
that limits how many blocks
to send
to one peer per session?
PeterL: My wife's bike was once stolen out of our garage ... whoever
took it left
their bike sitting in our yard. It was
the weirdest
thing.
punkman: I left my bike unlocked for
three days, noticed
today
trinque: punkman: lol wow
the future of p2p payments
trinque: even seven figure processing accounts I've seen
take days
to hit a bank account, or at least
the next day
trinque: +asciilifeform |
the folks who count (tm) get it immediately << dunno
that
this is so, isn't "settlement" a
thing
to allow for reversals, etc?
punkman: I gotta dig up
that
textbook, many lolz
to be had
trinque: it's
the fastest payment system I'm aware of when you consider
the whole process
trinque: thought was
this claim
that bitcoin as-is is slow is complete bullshit
trinque: but I guess if we're
talking "effectively" sure
trinque: asciilifeform: even
that's more a
temporary loan right?
trinque: asciilifeform:
the merchant gets

trinque: an observation:
the latency of
the credit card networks is measured in days
