TomServo: ben_vulpes: was it portland where
they were fining people for catching rainwater?
Mashuri: Thanks for
the !up but I'm just lurking. I have a WoT account if needed for later. :)
TomServo: I have said publicly
that no,
this wasn't @MtGox 2.0 and you aren't @MagicalTux 2.0
assbot: Logged on 07-01-2015 19:06:06; kakobrekla: btw bitstamp is moving operations
to us (prolly sf).
assbot: Working alongside
the
team from San Francisco, progress
towards redeployment is strong. Huge
thank you
to for your confidence and patience.
assbot: We are fully rebuilding our systems from
the ground up so
that customers can use /Bitstamp with full confidence and
trust.
mod6: Thanks for calling
that
to our attention.
mod6: cazalla:
The Bitcoin Foundation will commit
to publishing a "follow along at home install guide" with
the first
the signed first release.
cazalla: apologies for
the diarrheatic driblee. back
to bed, needed
that water
mod6: If anyone wants
to write a more user-friendly how-to as opposed
to what I have already written, by all means!
mod6: but currently,
that's what we're
testing on. i have an medium ec2 instance im
testing on, and a few other smaller vm's.
mod6: i left
that out of
the guide as I don't wish
to presume which environment it should be built on.
mod6: you basically need
to do
these for
that:
mod6: I've walked
through
that guide with a guy locally here, and
there are a few minor changes
that I need
to make
to it
this month. I'll get
to it when I can, but mostly, it's exactly what you need. Aside from installing
the dependancies.
mod6: I have written a guide on how
to patch
the reference implementation. is
that one
too complex?
mod6: i was just looking back at
that myself ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: <cazalla> [] may i recommend a step by step
tutorial for
the borderline retarded such as myself who have
the resources but not
the know how
to run it, provide a step by step diy and it will grow << grand idea
mircea_popescu: unsung heroes,
that's exactly it. "if
the bot weren't down nobody would have noticed".
mircea_popescu: yeah, if
the bot weren't down nobody would have noticed.
kakobrekla: if
the bot werent down nobody would have noticed
mircea_popescu: if anyone asks me, i'd rather see as few of
these vacations as possible.
mircea_popescu: but, fair warning
to
the ones still left inside
the beast : nano, prior
to his vacation, was a law abiding economy
teacher, a bright kid and a very loyal and honorable fellow all around.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if
there's multiples lying becomes
that more difficult and less valuable anyway.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: just need
to
trust
the maintainers of
the gatekeepers into
the WoT
mircea_popescu: maybe if it convincingly performs for a while
the
two wots can be bridged later on (how such a
thing could be done in principle has been discussed a few
times) and
that'll be a great step
towards de facto decentralization with central servers and
that's
that.
mircea_popescu: gribble is only relevant in
this channel by specific inclusion from assbot. once it lost
that, it lost it.
mircea_popescu: i don't know
that guy is anybody, outside of social engineering everyone. he doesn't have a rating from nano,
the notion
they know each other is improbable on
the face, and if in fact
this were a job you'd fully expect a bunch of unknowns
talking authoritatively in such manner.
undata: clearly
the guy had
to be stopped... he was running an irc channel!
mircea_popescu: what with all
the stuff being build atop it and so on.
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure
that in realpolitik
terms
this was
the more important use of gribble.
mike_c: so..
this is when assbot officially
takes over
the world
then.
TomServo: folks in otc are claiming it's a planned absence, I haven't seen anything specific
though.
mike_c: well, you
took a few weeks off and we still
trust you
mircea_popescu: well... perhaps reasonable's not
the right word. safe.
mircea_popescu: yes, nano's not been heard from,
the only reasonable assumption is something asciilifeform'd say.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> can't wait for gribble
to come home. << i dun
think gribble is coming back. if it were, i wouldn't
trust it.
undata: I find I have more alertness
throughout
the day without
undata: I actually just gave
the stuff up (again)
TomServo: I don't
think
that'll happen soon enough. Maybe a modified ircd with a bolted on gribble in
the meantime?
undata read
the gossipd logs; maybe
that will have
to save us
undata: is
there an alternate auth route?
mike_c: can't wait for gribble
to come home.
mike_c: given irdial's apparent hatred of kyc it seems like
this is a good place
to be.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron couldn't have been for
that reason, i recall
the guy following me on
twitter, back before
the antonoderp murder.
mircea_popescu: make a container or w/e
they call it, just have people run it.
danielpbarron: irdial, lol you block me for
telling you about
this place and now here you are!
TomServo: Is
there a preferred platform?
mircea_popescu: not only will IT grow, but
the diy capabilities of
the right people will grow, which is significantly more valuable.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: may i recommend a step by step
tutorial for
the borderline retarded such as myself who have
the resources but not
the know how
to run it, provide a step by step diy and it will grow << he has a point
there, ben & mod6
TomServo: Sure - with you
there, it just seems incredibly hard
to really 'prove' intent
to leave.
mircea_popescu: i had no problem getting romania's like i dunno, 3rd ? 10 year visa fifteen years ago when i actually wanted one. notwithstanding
that romania was you know, a sort of ukraine in 2025, and notwithstanding
that bush was in charge.
mircea_popescu: now, it's all fine and dandy
to all agree on how
teh us is
the empire of evil. however,
the notion
that
they'd err on
the side of not letting anyone in is plain ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: the uncomfortable reality
that he has neither is obviously something he's not willing
to confront, and so it has
to be about how bad
teh us customs & immigration is.
mircea_popescu: it is customarily shown by a) substantial assets and b) family
ties.
mircea_popescu: that's always been
there, for foreigners, which people who renounce a citizenship become.
TomServo: Pretty minor gripe but, "under a regulation
that requires he prove his intent
to depart
the U.S." - how does one prove
that?
mircea_popescu: this guy was never sober. literally. you know what i mean,
that drunk functionality of
the hardcore ukrainian ?
mircea_popescu: so when i first landed here i kept a hotel room for about a week. my across
the hall neighbour was
this ukrainian dude. we met in
the elevator and well, at
the
time
the ukr stuff was just blowing up and so i was curious, and he was as happy as anything
to speak
to someone... wise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lemme
tell you a story
that will illustrate
this point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people aren't as fixated on
things anglos are fixated on here.
thestringpuller: Perhaps
the movie about asciilifeform and young buck
thestringpuller
teaming up
to sell BTC as gangstas runnin
the street will become a reality
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller doing anything out of
the ordinary carries a higher sentence
than everything else in
there, you've not noticed yet ?
mircea_popescu: you know,
the original somethingawful/buttcoin
threads about how bitcoiners are mentally retarded didn't come out of pure malice.
they came out of
the simple fact of
the matter :
the early people involved are struggling with severe mental disabilities.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so apparently being caught selling
too many BTC here in
the states carries a higher sentence
than dealing drugs
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that
there's anything but comic relief in keeping
track of ver's activities.
mircea_popescu: except he did
that at a
time when
they were worth cents
to
the dollar, and
they're long gone.
mircea_popescu: also,
the passports in question don't ever cost
that much. he's pulling a kakobrekla's car
trick on
the value of bitcoin
that could have been. by
the same measure, his donated hundreds of millions of dollars
to
the scam foundation.
mircea_popescu: for
the record, for
the unassuming individual capable of normal socialisation (ie, score a gf if one wants a gf) about 1k usd a year is plenty in argentina.
