mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cazalla here's a pretty good
tip for qntra :
PeterL: I
think my server is blocked from
trilema?
PeterL: yeah, I know, I need
to fix it
thestringpuller: i'm visualizing a classroom full of students pointing and laughing at Gavin while he struggles
to find emotions and reactions
mircea_popescu: sadly
this won't be possible here, like it's not possible generally, but in spirit.
mircea_popescu: so no, if it lasts forever and it's nothing but a hellish cried of
the
tortured all
the better.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that no lord ever wanted whoever he punished
to ever die is directly apparent if you look at
two
things :
their artists made hell be eternal
torture ;
the bodies lay in
the gibbet at
the gate for much longer
than
the dude inside survived.
mircea_popescu: their cries of pain and outrage should be preserved for posterity,
to
teach others.
thestringpuller: but even so any fork at all needs
to be killed immediately. it splits network power and lowers security.
mircea_popescu: whatever mini-nuland is in charge does not understand
that
there are forces more powerful on
the field, who "do not understand how
the world works"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i kinda enjoy all
this acting as if
they have an option in
the matter.
thestringpuller: like a kid having a
temper
tantrum in a store because mommy won't buy him gummy bears
mircea_popescu: "Not everyone who wants an immediate confirmation will be able
to get it, regardless of how much
they pay. If
there's more people wanting next-block confirmation
than
there are slots in
the block, it's mathematically guaranteed
that people will miss out. As network usage grows,
the percentage of unsatisfied users will grow linearly with it."
assbot: Last
trade for S.QNTR on MPEX was at 0.00015 BTC [-]
saifedean: word on
the street is
that
the noob ddosing subsided, so i dropped by
TomServo: 'evening. It goes well, aside from
the gribble vacation.
jurov: "Lovers of all
things sly gathered
to move on a holiday cheer,
tell a few jokes and lift income for cats with no place
to call home." indeed
jurov: "competent
to scrupulously care for oneself" lol
this is CV material
jurov: Police were called.
They contend a 35-year-old Angus, Ont., male was inebriated and incompetent
to scrupulously caring for himself.
fluffypony: "Skydivers burst
to reserve before craft crashes"
nubbins`: nod guess 3 of us at once is
too much
nubbins`: it just pulls news stories from other websites and does blind word replacement on
the articles,
to make
them seem original
nubbins`: wanted
to share
this,
thought you guys might appreciate
jurov: cue
thestringpuller chest
thumping in full gear
cazalla: well, no longer auth'd so no help
to you sorry RagnarDanneskjol
Vexual: y'all are fixing irc? better close
that copper shoert.
BingoBoingo: And it's
the kind of youth one has
to be older
than 30
to experience.
mircea_popescu: this is
the only kind of youth one could possibly wish for
themselves.
mircea_popescu: anyway, on contemplation i actually see
this as my finest work
to date.
BingoBoingo: The challenge is
the edge cases in
the discussion really make
the
thing click.
BingoBoingo: Needs more
time
to coalesce on brain. Might be on
the order
tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah.
the skeleton in
the RFC wasn't as revealing as
the conversation was. gossipd putting
the emphasis on Relay in IRC
mircea_popescu: wots are
trivially doublespent. as part of normal functioning.
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu finds it funny how
the same one stump
trips erryone. << Had
to watchh for a while, but it clicked all at once
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] i won't argue
that wot moves ought
to be retained for all eternity; but will say
that some automatic caching is necessary << wotchains, perchance?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] probably quite a few folks. but
the
thing
that distinguishes fermat from wot is
that wot needs
to be at least quasi-'hot'
to really work as intended, imho. << strikes me
that a series of "rating" messages should be parsed
to build a rating history.
ben_vulpes: it's because we're all distracted by
the hyperattractor 30d above
the horizon and 15 deg port!
ben_vulpes: not a record of all strings sent
to "#b-a", but a record of all strings sent
to "#b-a" as seen by
the lN of "assbot".
ben_vulpes: "what matters" <<
to a keyset
though, not "to everyone"
ben_vulpes: forgive
the dunce cap hanging over my eyes, but i'm entirely failing
to see how
this makes for an unrepudiable log of
the forum.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no but recall
the
thing itself i refer
to. a pastebin contract was in fact proferred.
mircea_popescu: except once
the few derps flaked, i had nobody
to complain
to.
ben_vulpes: i was commenting at
the point in
the discusison at which messages were unsigned. did messages become signed?
mircea_popescu: no contract appears. well... now you cantell whoever you see me
through
that wtf is
this bs.
ben_vulpes: by anyone who cares
to
transmit with a bogus "from"
ben_vulpes: ah i guess
the log only makes sense as maintained by someone in a wot
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> []
that is an ad-hoc, bug-ridden reimplementation of
the blockchain! << yeah but only half
ben_vulpes: it only works for us, and sort of right now (?!?!?) because once upon a
time assbot relied on
the "authedness" of users via
the "gribble" service.
ben_vulpes: how
to preserve
the serenissima log semantics
though? if all "chat lines" are wholly deniable,
the notion of a public forum in which
to do business publically falls apart.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] and if i am in your list and you in mine
the same is preserved by gossipd. << means
that if you want everything you say on
the record, operate a server for your identity.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i like 'unscannable for', not because of any derping re: 'anonymity', but from sheer delight in
the morale hit
to enemy <<
this one in particular
mircea_popescu: "we were going
to make it, so i
told
the wife, go ahead and get started, i'ma grab a paper"
ben_vulpes: matter of fact listening
to you and mircea_popescu and artifexed go on has been educational and illuminating in any number of ways
