ben_vulpes: utxo also lets miners verify
transactions, an important
thing
to preserve imho
ben_vulpes: block indices let you dump
the blockchain into a rich datastore
ben_vulpes: utxo lets you
trivially find outputs of your own
to spend
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes:
that sounds like more
than enough
to run a node.
ben_vulpes: with all
the hoojum around wallets and
the db, i can't help but suspect
that all
the state
the reference client should really maintain in
terms of db is a) block indices and b) unspent
txout pool
thestringpuller: i've never reached out but cazalla has on occassion
to various entities he's covering :P
mircea_popescu: there's certainly worse
things
than spending 30 years upstate.
felipelalli: thestringpuller: but do you
talk
to
them? Like interview?
mircea_popescu: why all
this pretense like impalent is
the summum malum ?
thestringpuller: felipelalli: we were running digital forensics on changetip but
they're platform is
too fucktarded
to
track accurately.
ben_vulpes: in
the process of running down how vins get populated, just
thought i'd share some lulz
felipelalli: I know you guys have an original analysis, but I was wondering if you make digital forensics or go
to street interview
the people.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli
the bitpay fireparty was exclusive
to qntra for instance.
thestringpuller: i'm moving into on
the street reporting, but we also have done digital forensics
felipelalli: ahahahah :) I mean: you guys go
to street like reporters? Like "original research"? Or compilation from other sources? Sorry for ask, not offence.
mircea_popescu: not like anbything prevents
the man from putting an announcement on
their client, "MP was right, I was wrong but
too stupid
to realise, sorry all!"
thestringpuller: i kinda want him
to release statement "I'm going ahead with hard fork"
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> oh its going << all up
to gavin at
this point.
thestringpuller: felipelalli: Do you guys only write original news made by you... <<
this is misleading? Are you asking do we create news
then report on it? Like in
that james bond movie?
cazalla: felipelalli, i guess it depends how much we've had
to drink
the night before
mike_c: and
this is before
the hard fork.
ben_vulpes: ah okay so
this is
the famed c++ concurrency story. rad.
cazalla: a real man pulls his carrots from
the garden and eats em, dirt an all
assbot: Baby Carrot line, Budget production line machines for
the production of Baby Carrots production line - YouTube ... (
http://bit.ly/14Yrsoc )
cazalla: i've heard of meat glue
though
mircea_popescu: "hey honey,
there's a hundred pounds of woman in
there somewhere".
cazalla: google leads me
to believe
they machine
the shitty ones into cocktail carrots..
this i never knew, i like
the ones i grow which end up looking like
they have 2 legs and a cock
ben_vulpes: they're not d-grade roots if you
turn
them down and get rid of
the vile outside layer!
mircea_popescu: shockingly,
this hard hitting journalist would be all in 3bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: "If you enjoyed
this hard-hitting piece of investigative journalism, consider donating
to" and some nonstandard btc address follows.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: "some guy setup a fake
Tinder profile with some stock photos" << somehow i suspect you just defined
that
thing.
mircea_popescu: i dunno a prosecutor exists
that woulnd't rather have any other
task.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if all
the bumbling
to date was simply baiting "the people" into expensive failure.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: howly shit,
they finally found
the defense
that's gonna hung
the jury.
mircea_popescu: Back in 2013, a separate individual claiming
to be Dread Pirate Roberts stated
that he/she “didn’t start
the Silk Road, my predecessor did.”
mircea_popescu: Dratel instead said
that Ulbricht only ran Silk Road for “a few months” after he created it. Finding it “too stressful,” Ulbricht reportedly handed
the website’s reins over
to others. As a result,
the defense argues
that
the government is prosecuting
the wrong individual for building up a $1.2 billion black market, since Ulbricht is not Dread Pirate Roberts.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla> check out
the cluelessness << lol poor guy.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> funny how little google and duckduckgo claim
to know about al hayat and
the islamic state report <<
that is all a coincidence
that has nothing at all
to do with what you *should* be knowing.
ben_vulpes: funny how little google and duckduckgo claim
to know about al hayat and
the islamic state report
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "what's a 'small fork'? Something like 'a little pregnant'?" << figure you'd enjoy
that one
fluffypony: Reddit humour:
http://imgur.com/a/33Qpw (some guy setup a fake
Tinder profile with some stock photos, and proceeded
to canvas girls for
their opinion on Bitcoin)
dub: erryday I
thank Al Gore
Adlai: this is a very relative question, who are you
trying
to offend?
mircea_popescu: hey Adlai what's
the most obscene, revolting and horrible hebrew swear you can
think of ?
cazalla: but i must credit danielpbarron for
the idea as first saw him using
that
to denote which users were coming here from which forum
cazalla: asciilifeform: aha finally figured out why. nm <<< i named it qntranet so it was obvious user is coming from
the website instead of random joe blow
Adlai: in planet earth.
these
things have a way of leaking, even if initially it's just between agencies
mircea_popescu: or
to quote monty pythin, "this is
the most outrageous miscarriage of justice since
tuesday"
Adlai: when was
the last
time a court ordered somebody
to divulge a pgp key?
Adlai: "our department killed seven
terrorists/dealers/traffickers
this month!" sure, but you also recruited seventeen.
Adlai: they discourage some people, which satisfies
the short
term interests of
the bureaucrats
that actually have
to plan and authorize such
things
mircea_popescu: exactly
the
tsar's playbook,
that resulted in one dead
tsar holding in his arms one dead
tsar baby.
mircea_popescu: Adlai both serving more
to fan
the flames
than anything.
Adlai: regarding how
to block gossipd: same way
that
torrents are "blocked"... either by ultimately ineffective packet filtering by ISPs, or by
targeted, expensive, and extreme "making examples of" individuals
that fuck up badly enough
Adlai: well somewhere along
the way humans got quite bad at having sex, probably bottoming out in victorian england, or modern hassidic yeshivas
mircea_popescu: the saddest
thing here being, of course,
that
the general expectation
that
the girl's sucking cock is entirely a 90s and after affair.
Adlai: if i wanted comeback i'd have asked your mother
to spit in a cup!
Adlai: it's amazing how bad people can get at
this
Adlai: because i can play
the "how old do i look
to you?" game
Adlai: i have realized
that i do not regret being born a man
Adlai: apparently all
the cool kids ask for
this, right? :D
Adlai: btw i would like a statement struck from
the logs
Adlai: even i feel old compared
to
this channel
Adlai: and i'd also managed
to forget bitcoin already, silly me
Adlai: this was before i started
the army
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller can you imagine what
the volunteer lines'd look like ?
Adlai: apparently going on irc makes you a
terrorist
Adlai can't be in
the mossad, he didn't even get security clearance
to do
the simplest possible code shit
mircea_popescu: if
the us infantry had what's basically an android chassis, 3 or so meters
tall...
mircea_popescu: it's so sad
the us is wasting 1
trn
to build
the f35, instead of building fucking power suits.
Adlai: i've been out for almost
two years, pls.
Adlai: what part of "opposed
to machine" is "no censorship"?
Adlai: also, you don't want money which causes botulism in infants,
the earth will be overrun by
the spawn of
the penniless
