ascii_field: then chechnya. which isn'
t a long-term affair.
mircea_popescu: you can'
t have a middle class unless the poor class is being squished underfoot.
mircea_popescu: we aren'
t putting ghetto meat first. let the usg have that, they earned it.
BingoBoingo: Even though it links to all the times Mircea was right and doesn'
t have Mircea on the byline
mircea_popescu: still, these perfectly valid technical objections aside - signed is deeply inferior to clearsigned. this is a fact, and it won'
t change.
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 13:20:14; BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i don'
t actually think they were READY to deploy this autumn. irrespective of the september term they might or might not have lied to manageement about. << Gavin's eariler marketing campaign made this autumn the latest they could do this.
ascii_field: hell, i don'
t find it esp. appetizing, either.
ascii_field: (not carried out, because they weren'
t morons..)
punkman: I don'
t see trailing spaces/tabs/etc
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that said, yes, people who disregard their own property can "mess around" with your property. for instance, a guy that doesn'
t give a shit about his 50k car can drive it through your front door. << Incidently used care prices are finally returning to "normal" pre-Obola-cash-for-clunkers depreciation curve. Thousand dollar cars are a thing again. Soon it will probably be possible to acquire a car capable of providi
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> "oh, millenium times" what the fuck derp argument is that. you get the same 25 btc << can'
t transact!
mircea_popescu: perfectly valid fork that doesn'
t run into (the mostly valid) problem you raise.
ascii_field: a fork that doesn'
t switch workfunction is ipso facto a fraud
ascii_field: well, you can'
t start at ~very~ massive diff
punkman: you can'
t fork the chain at genesis
mircea_popescu: since we're doing nonsense ("you can'
t teach a class in nonsense. but the history of nonsnese - that's scholarship!"), can anyone explain why exactly would a hard fork not start with its own genesis ? outside of the fundamentally fraudulent, pious or otherwise, attempt to pretend like it's something it is most assuredly not ?
ascii_field: and won'
t un-mix the mixed s-coin when it ends up everywhere
ascii_field: because proscribing the blocks later won'
t un-stampede the sell-panickers
mircea_popescu: heck, the absence of social recognition for this is why i won'
t have kids.
trinque: ascii_field: ah yep, read that. and it wouldn'
t surprise me if A was an intentional kill switch, even less so with the hypothetical "failed project"
mike_c: Not exactly five years - It's a lot of work. This work wasn'
t necessarily worth it before enough people took the right notice and the project got some traction
mike_c: yeah, but, we're fixing the napkin. plz don'
t blow it up yet mr. satoshi.
trinque: ascii_field: damn, wouldn'
t that be a thing to watch.
ascii_field: wouldn'
t a complete picture include satoshi ?
mircea_popescu: felipelalli that's exactly it : there can only be one, and miners don'
t pick it. mike has it.
mike_c: But miners don'
t get to pick it
felipelalli: punkman, this is true, and this is my main use of Bitcoin. I wouldn'
t be affected. Good point. But this is a little contradictory with the article "there is no such thing as cryptocurrencies". The idea is "There Can Be Only One"
punkman: felipelalli: nobody can steal your coins if you just sit on them and don'
t spend for a while
mircea_popescu: lemme put it plainly : if this were a unipolar world, it's not that bitcoin wouldn'
t exist. it's that it COULDNT.
mircea_popescu: because it's their fucking car, and because if they fuck it up they don'
t get another one.
mircea_popescu: that said, yes, people who disregard their own property can "mess around" with your property. for instance, a guy that doesn'
t give a shit about his 50k car can drive it through your front door.
felipelalli: mircea_popescu, I read your articles. Actually I had read some parts before, but I read all over again. Unfortunately I didn'
t find the answer to my question. I understand that if miners just point to a "Scamcoin" (fork from Bitcoin) this is not Bitcoin, of course. But having them more hashpower, and the same type of hash function, this does not make the actual Bitcoin an "altcoin" and them vulnerable to attacks? (following the
ascii_field: i don'
t barf from religion unless it genuinely interferes with the subject matter
mircea_popescu: the moment you have go around in the sentence you've made it about "giving stuff to people who haven'
t earned it"
mircea_popescu: they pretend like they're advertising, but aren'
t actually reaching anyone. they pretend like they're socializing, but they're socialising with perl scripts (as per
http://trilema.com/2014/spamming-reddit-an-experiment/ ). they pretend like they're doing banking except they aren'
t actually, and "cheating" on their wife with gif-provided motion and indian call center provided voice.
felipelalli: mircea_popescu, thank you for the links! I was trying to find something relevant on log but I didn'
t so far.
ascii_field: is there ANYTHING that wasn'
t there in june ?
mircea_popescu: this is a fine approach for computer viruses. for very good reasons i won'
t go into for the sake of not boring everyone.
mircea_popescu: yes. except this need wasn'
t perceived back in say 2013.
felipelalli: trinque, ah, lol, amazing. thank you! The deedbot link didn'
t work when I tried to enter in it. My idea was to be able to rate an "abstract entity" that could represents a person or company that wasn'
t registered on WoT.
ascii_field: so a 'dos port' is more appropriately a 'bare metal' port, and doesn'
t need the dos for anything
☟︎ mike_c: kakobrekla: these assbot bitly links don'
t seem to work anymore
ascii_field: punkman: it's in a half-done state. doesn'

assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 08:47:37; mircea_popescu: incidentally : if gpg had the fucking sense to include MORE information on its information line, we wouldn'

assbot: I don'

assbot: Hell, ain'

mircea_popescu: buncha derps couldn'
t find their way out of a nonexistent paper bag, yet wish to have a "profession" and get "salaries". why "? for what ?
mircea_popescu: the only reason there isn'
t a cock eating rock somewhere is pure chance. otherwise, if it offered a hole, it'd eat well enough.
mircea_popescu: which is why the breach is particularly ruinous to them. as seinfeld said, "that's why divorce is so traumatic : you've been impeached, and i wasn'

mircea_popescu: the value proposition of ashley madison reads something likle "you too can be ALMOST like one of those dudes that cheats on his wife. except, you won'
