davout: in addition
to
the
thing itself
davout: asciilifeform: i'm up
to date logwise, but it's not really clear
to me if i should get some sort of chord, or provision separate sd card/storage
nubbins`: and
this is
the
thing you've been
testing it on
nubbins`: that's
the regular lid on
the right?
nubbins`: if it can be hidden behind something, much more likely
to be set up and left running
nubbins`: but y'know.
this is just adding whistles
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nah
this won't work.
the usb actually steals entropy from pc neh ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform you could probably get 'em branded at
the factory with whatever name/logo you wanted
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not really, you can get a few bux
that way but import
the risk you get a special box of special units.
nubbins`: remember
those usb block erupters? people would literally pay a $300+ premium if you just put
the USB hub, a cable, and
the erupters in
the same box for
them.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` don't underestimate
the premium we put on people who aren't consumer-broken.
mircea_popescu: notice how both women display it, centered arund
the cunt, but
the mother has been worked into society
towards a slightly more relaxed position of
the other end of
the spine.
nubbins`: don't underestimate
the premium people are willing
to pay for convenience
tho
mircea_popescu: nubbins` which is why shipping etc doesn't make so much sense. just go plunk down
twenny for
the box at your local shop
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah. hard
to find good help
these days eh ?
mircea_popescu: davout
this
thing, started as a casual why not,
turned into a fountain of cool. nuts.
davout: asciilifeform: i didn't get
that part, it's pretty fucking cool
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah lol. i recall fluffypony was lookjing for someone
to do
that. hard work,
tough bread.
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for EPiSKiNG- from 1
to 3 with note: Serious fiat broker.
nubbins`: fuck,
this place really needs a daily summary
mircea_popescu: that same unit can also be used
to replicate itself, with crossover cable
nubbins`: k, i know
there was some
talk of flashing router firmware as well
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's forever on
the router dude.
that was
the spec. for a box
to plug into your spare router hole and sit
there forevert.
nubbins`: alf, are you imagining
this device as something
that plugs in, flashes
the router, & is
then removed, or an actual node as a device, hanging out of a port on
the router?
davout: "how about
the fucktards spend six months reading
the logs like it's
the words of
their father, first." <<< no. because cult.
mircea_popescu: how about
the fucktards spend six months reading
the logs like it's
the words of
their father, first.
mircea_popescu: "This Saturday, in a stylish canal side house in
the center of Amsterdam, a
team of four hackers who had never met each other before, including
two who were using bitcoin for
the first
time, might have constructed
the
theoretical groundwork
to solve
this problem. "
nubbins`: well y'know, give everyone
the internet...
mircea_popescu: think*. at all. it's just.... signal processing, zero introspection,
they might as well not have memory.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if
twitter has formatted an entire generation
to not fucking
thing.
mircea_popescu: half hour later,
turns out my
tx was doublespent. SO
THEY
TURN IT OFF
mircea_popescu: so... i go
to watch a film with netflix, pay in btc.
they see
the
tx and let me watch
mircea_popescu: ".
This is less
than ideal, especially for some kinds of digital products – a Netflix-type of service
that sells movies on demand, for instance."
mircea_popescu: sooo... any people looking
to start a journalistic career ?
davout: "you just need
to deposit some collateral"
davout: if
this
thing syncs
the whole chain in 100 hours
that would be pretty incredible
davout: "one doesn;t have
to import a preloaded chain" <<<
the getting up
to date from scratch
time will be interesting
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 19:33:44; asciilifeform: idk what you folks had in mind, but what i was making was
that one of
these can plug with crossover cable into a virginal unit and deflower it.
mircea_popescu: well, i was ready
to pronounce it victorious if it did more
than 10k blocks / 24 hours, so.
davout: methinks setting up might not be
trivial if one must also import a pre-loaded chain
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 16:04:52; asciilifeform: set it up with
the loop now.
mircea_popescu: PeterL well it apparently missed one, and didn't respond
to fetch
mircea_popescu: davout something like
that. danielpbarron is ready
to write a 101 guide
davout: so i'm not very clear how
this gets distributed either, folks order
their hardware directly and follow asciilifeform's guide? nothing's really decided yet if i understand correctly
mod6: took mine like 12 hours
to get
that many.
mircea_popescu: the building chain process is in fact a decent way
to advertise
the node.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there was no particular plan. fill with
trusted chain, let it build it up, either way.
davout: curious
to see how long/how many oomkills it'll
take
to catch up
davout: the first 135461 blocksare probably like ~1% of
the
total processing
that needs
to be done before being up
to date
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or should someone aspiring
to qntra publishing do it instead ? << leaning
towards
this, but if interest isn't expressed soon I'll
take a break from current writing
to do it quickly.
trinque: "This is
the dawn of a new world." << Inspiring.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: hanbot: Kind of what I was
thinking.
There just doesn't seem
to be much left of it. << bitpay silently deleting
the dramas ?
mircea_popescu: or should someone aspiring
to qntra publishing do it instead ?
nubbins`: backed up
til at least april right now
nubbins`: incidentally,
those
Teenage Engineering
things i linked
to re: packaging earlier?
They don't even come with a fucking /case/, and people bought
them in
the
tens of
thousands when
they were announced
phillipsjk: Oh
the whole "bitcoin is sovereign"
thing.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk microsoft is not in
the wot. it can't sue anyone.
mircea_popescu: we're having private chuckle issuance on
the basis of future comedy gold revenues.
phillipsjk: asciilifeform, Microsoft has sued companies like
tomtom over vfat Pantents (in
the US)
mircea_popescu: then in a decade
they start with
the "TIME
TO RUN ALF OUT OF
THIS FREEDOM MOVEMENT"
