mircea_popescu: a decade or
two of
that should put
the country on pretty decent footing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't clean it, i'd just host impalement orgies for kidnapped daughters of
the "elite" doing whatever women's studies bullshit in college.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the definition of an expert is, fundamentally, "one whose judgements are not based on his own circumstance".
mircea_popescu: but somehow it's not now
the case
that *I* should waltz in washington and buy
the monument for a few bitcents.
danielpbarron: i remember simcity on snes where you had
to intentionally get
taxed into negative
to get
the money value
to wrap around
to 999`999
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: yea but we don't pay our civil engineers nearly enough, or allocated enough money
to design
to warrant good roads in
this country at least.
thestringpuller: ^-
this is essentially simulated in older versions of sim city
mircea_popescu: but somehow it's NOT what
the us has
to do, once
the us
turned into a cold war ghetto.
mircea_popescu: eerilie reminiscent of how "financial discipline" was
the imf standard pill for all of eastern europe all
through
the 90s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notice
the very convenient "uilding Bigger Roads Actually Makes
Traffic Worse" just on
the
tail end of
two decades of "we can't actually afford
to build anything anymore" and as "we can't really even maintain what we got" sets in.
jurov: world
trade incl forex ?
thestringpuller: well guess what
the buildings nearby
the roads upgrade
too
mircea_popescu: jurov not possible huh ? compare M3
to world
trade figures.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: Interesting comparison in SimCity. So you plan roads all willy nilly. I like curves yay! Etc. anyhow.
traffic starts building up cause your shit ain't planned well.
mircea_popescu: as
this carries on eventuyally fees will exceed block rewards sometime
that decade.
mircea_popescu: i would suspect once we've beheaed gavin for
things
to proceed apace and by 2020 or so
to have a more reasonable 50
to 100k move daily, of which
that 1% is
then maybe 50 btc a day.
jurov: i dunno if it's possible for
the volume
to be magnitudes more
jurov: would stay much less
than mining reward
this century
mircea_popescu: currently
tx fees are in
the range of 0.000000001%
to 0.001%.
they will increase, yes. degrees of magnitude, yes. past 1% as an average is unlikely, because alternatives will become lucrative enough. such as you know, people would stop "tipping" etc.
jurov: tx fees will certainly end up higher
than now, but how much?
mircea_popescu: well just don't make it scale down bvy
the same formula
jurov: let's say blocksize is allowed
to go up by 10% if > 10% of volume are
tx fees in past 2016 blocks (same as difficulty)
mircea_popescu: jurov make an actual model and i can show you numerically how feasible it is. or otherwise, estimatively, it'd cost about 1 btc
to make
the blocks any arbitrary size.
jurov: *shrug* i can see miners fixing
thousands of bitcoins in attempt
to raise blocksize, but how feasible scenraion it is, dunno
Apocalyptic: well
the newly minted coins and
the fees are in
the same output
jurov: the
tx fees go
together with newly minted coins afaik
mircea_popescu: 120 ? is
that just for newly minted coins or fees
too ?
jurov: and you wouldn't be able
to spend
the 1k again in 100 blocks
mircea_popescu: uh, you want a per
tx% ? i
thought you just wanted per block aggregate.
mircea_popescu: not clear why only once in 100, but granted
that, 10 btc in fees per block on average is like what, 1mn% more
than now ?
jurov: to avoid
then lowering
the %
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't get your logic. why can't i use external
tx fees ?
jurov: mircea_popescu: you would be able
to do it only every 100 blocks and since you wouldn't
then use external
tx fees, rather unprofitable
mircea_popescu: "If anyone reading
this believes
that a man whose
time is worth
THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AN HOUR is going
to pick up a chisel for $18/hr, stop reading RIGHT NOW and kill yourself." << i have personally fucked women whose
time was actually
that sort of money. i bought lunch.
BingoBoingo: I mean someone is going
to have
to vouch you aren't a shithead
to get an apprenticeship
mircea_popescu: "fifty eight men join plumbing school as
the notion
they will ever be hired
to do anything with computers is laughable"
mircea_popescu: what happened
to "verizon fired its entire security staff, hired hacker
to form a new
team" ?
mircea_popescu: "The app hacker quietly reported
the holes
to Verizon which issued a fix Friday,
two days after it was disclosed, and rewarded Westergren with a year's worth of free internet." << heh, bad deal.
mircea_popescu: i can do it probably
ten
times in 10k blocks with very little costs.
jurov: what would you gain?
to count you'd have
to publish
the block anyway so
that it isn't orphaned
mircea_popescu: "XDA senior software developer Randy Westergren said
the FiOS API flaw since fixed allowed any account
to be accessed by manipulating user identification numbers in web requests." shit sherlock.
jurov: like difficulty.. i meant is only as illustration as opposed
to diddling magic numbers
mircea_popescu: miner makes a block out of
tx with huge fees
that he doesn't broadcast. if it goes in, it's in. if not, no loss.
jurov: i'm surprised gavin isn't considering rule like "allow for blocksize increase if
tx fees bigger
than some % of coinbase"
Apocalyptic: jurov, well reddit wants moon, I guess
they got it
jurov: in past i was arguing in favor of increasing
the limit,
too.. but no such madness
mircea_popescu: jurov no, not really. just in
the parallel universe where usg matters.
mod6: thestringpuller:
they were right, except
they didn't figure in fed[ctrl+p]
ben_vulpes: apple pay's going
to
try
to gobble all
the banks, so if my bank's
truthful about it being apple's fault, i'll just end up with
the same problem.
mircea_popescu: i mean, go rape a
toddler instead. better off for society.
mircea_popescu: because people were so petrified
they might lose a set.
mircea_popescu: unsurprisingly, it includes
their mugs. unsurprisingly, anyone ever involved ended up with copies,
mircea_popescu: pron
thing,
the usians came up with
this idiotic law
that you must make so and so footage of models.
mircea_popescu: does
this mean i can log into all
the girl's accounts now ?
mircea_popescu: so wait. i have a humongous library of 2257 notices. prolly
tens of k's.
ben_vulpes: and i can't figure out how
to
turn it off
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wait. you played his phone
to your phone and it
took ?!

nubbins`: i was gonna
