asciilifeform: has no one actually -read- the thing ?
asciilifeform: but this isn't irc !
rithm: port 1337 tho kinda elitist don't you think
asciilifeform believes that the scheme as originally described is disastrously mistaken
artifexd: Would you like to discuss in here or keep it in the comments?
assbot: [OPEN] A better ircd [RFC] pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DgV4fg )
artifexd: I like it to the point of being willing to commit time to do it.
artifexd: I have decided that I like this ircd project.
mircea_popescu: artifexd ya was just looking for you in the list lol

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if anyone wants to make a pool for the purpose that can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: might as well mine the wall.
mircea_popescu: well no, switching doesn't. but mining in the dead chain takes as many resources as you're willing to throw at it.
kakobrekla: yes but switching is not something that takes time or resources.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla "upgrading" in the limited sense of building on a 1mb+ block.
mircea_popescu: who can say no to gifts.
kakobrekla: i dont think asics needs upgrading
mircea_popescu: if any of the asic farms is stupid enough to update (which is sort-of doubt, but hey, stupidity is bottomless) then they get their wish.
mircea_popescu: hey, this is what people with gpus wanted all along, right ? a chance to mine again.
kakobrekla: vs the gpu miners :)
mircea_popescu: the fake coins they mine won't actually be worth anything once the fake chain dies. sort-of longest orphan block in history.
mircea_popescu: heck, if 99% of miners move to the fake chain all the better - lower real diff for a while.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla all i need really is a tiny miner. even gpus will do.
mircea_popescu: this is one of those requiring absolute consensus.
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's one miner that doesn't, however...
mircea_popescu: if a majority of miners accepts the fork they still have to relay and mine all my txn.
kakobrekla: so if the majority of miners accepts the fork mpex is out of luck ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, includes a pastebin of the #freenode discussion etc.
mircea_popescu: there's the previous discussion with t[homas] ?

mquin: mircea_popescu: we seem to be getting questions about this channel and cloaking quite regularly lately
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from the fertile union of a very strong "must succeed" ideology and a very narrow "math is hard" cluelessness.
asciilifeform: from whence come the mass of idiot coin, though
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, they're naturally that clueless.
kakobrekla: ascii did with the fracking.
mircea_popescu: stupidity i thought, but yes.
asciilifeform: on the contrary, synthetic chumpfracking fluid is a usg product.
asciilifeform: it has to be chump fracking.
asciilifeform: the 'gaw' crap boggles my mind. how is this shit even still possible.
mircea_popescu: and, of course, much like in the case of the "ethereum short" nobody actually bought, here is me looking for counterparties willing to buy gavin-bitcoins on the understanding that the transaction will only be valid on the gavin fork, but not in actual bitcoin.
asciilifeform vaguely recalls ben_vulpes having wangled together an autobuilder of sorts
asciilifeform: list, yes. wasn't sure about the tree itself
mircea_popescu: wasn't he maintaining the list an errything ?
mircea_popescu: i thought jurov
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu: which one(s) of you is even doing the merges, anyway ?
asciilifeform is sitting on a shameful quantity of unfinished patches for their apparatus
mircea_popescu: i dun imagine they'll pretend like they "tested" it in less than a few months, so there's still a season i'd guess.
asciilifeform feels guilt re: mod6-vuples foundation, almost like it were a bastard son he can't quite afford to feed
mircea_popescu: now if mod6 an' ben_vulpes + whoever else can contribute get snappy with the actual foudnation work, the beheading of gavin's pretense will come exactly in time for a smooth transition to a muchly superior alternative.
assbot: If you go on a Bitcoin fork, irrespective which scammer proposes it, you will lose your Bitcoins. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DgNTE2 )
asciilifeform: and bring in the naturally-occurring but recalcitrant chumpers.
asciilifeform: not only to drive waterfall directly, but to create an appearance of a 'happening', 'hot' chumpatron
asciilifeform: just as in hydraulic fracturing, foreign substance is pumped into the earth to liberate the goods,
asciilifeform: i dare to suggest a possible term for another thing the ethereum folks do; 'chump fracking'
TomServo: Only gone down from the 27,000ish peak around Sep 1
Apocalyptic: kakobrekla, wait for the new exclusive presale of new ethers, -50% NOW !
kakobrekla: i doubt they will get resupplied tbh
kakobrekla: left to leave
TomServo: Another 2k or so left their wallet recently, incidentally.
kakobrekla: they will run out of money by the 60th.
kakobrekla: oh wow they had 8 POC implementations so far.
mircea_popescu: a ty
mircea_popescu: wtf was the buterin scamcoin called, eleuterium ?
kakobrekla: well it was discovered by coming out of the ground naturally.
asciilifeform: presently true
kakobrekla: >Oil does not come out of the ground naturally,
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: do we have to bring our own pitchforks or will they be provided for us?
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/oil-theory/
mircea_popescu: i guess it's time to write a post about all this.
kakobrekla: heh, i sent some ppl to check the logs sometimes, mostly i get back "what language is this, english?"
mircea_popescu: bitstein thanks for the pastebin.
thestringpuller: jurov: thank you
jurov: BingoBoingo thestringpuller : qntra shares transferred
assbot: Looking before the Scaling Up Leap - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1xBMVyG )
Apocalyptic: wtf blogspot doesn't load at all without js, seriously... bitstein could you post a text pastebin ?
kakobrekla: yes, the power of coincidence is great power.
mircea_popescu: except they shoved a 46 in there at the end for the first week of 2015. which, of course, includes three days of 2014.
mircea_popescu: NEVER throughout the year has it been over 45
assbot: Presidential Approval Ratings -- Barack Obama | Gallup Historical Data & Trends ... ( http://bit.ly/1xOWN76 )
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla check out the power and influence of bitbet. so, there's http://bitbet.us/bet/962/obama-approval-rating-over-45-in-2014/
TomServo: Yes, and reading this makes that ring even more true.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, gavin hasn't been making any sense for a long time now.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that they have much other reference.
TomServo: What would Gavin be referring to when he says "the reference implementation"?
mircea_popescu: i can't be arsed to read blogspot junk.
assbot: GavinTech: Looking before the Scaling Up Leap ... ( http://bit.ly/1xOTk8l )
bitstein: Gavin just posted this. Thought y'all would be interested: http://gavintech.blogspot.com/2015/01/looking-before-scaling-up-leap.html
mircea_popescu: meanwhile gay men have for one thing five to ten times as many legit other gay men to meet, and looser dudes make up "men going alone" clubs instead of deciding they're now gay and the gay community must turn itself into mcdonalds to accomodate them.
mircea_popescu: and will raise hell if you dare observe that they're the same stinky, unbearable, impossible idiots that men think they are, pretending lesbianism is not a magical cure.
mircea_popescu: not only are your odds of finding a like minded soul vanishingly tiny, but you're deluged in all the fat idiots who think that they may "hate men", as something that's at their disposal, and it's your job and obligation to humor them, because "you're different".
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/mpex-smpoe-december-2014-statement/
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me... it must suck to be a lesbian. i mean a real one, the whatever, .4% demographic.
BingoBoingo: Takes time to get the venom ready. There's bound to be other stories to dip in the venom when its ready.
mircea_popescu: anyway, too lazy to go into the 2012-2013 collection of "media" derpage.
mircea_popescu: mainly because it somehow elides that the problem is the dollar.
BingoBoingo: I didn't add much this time. Gotta think of more lines for future fiat articles.
mircea_popescu: i dun think it saved or something ?
mircea_popescu: clearly they infringe on facebook intellectual propertahs.
mircea_popescu: i really don't think they should be called books properly.
assbot: Love how Zuckerberg talks about books as if they are funky new app he has discovered. From /thetimes http://t.co/rum1YGcSt8
