ben_vulpes: i say "should", as verifying this will entail building and booting an 0.8 or later node.
ben_vulpes: nominally, returns interesting data about the unspent outputs pool. the output of which one should be able to grep through to find ones own unspent transactions.
ben_vulpes: pretty horribly named command, though: "gettxoutsetinfo".
ben_vulpes: even conformal's implementation doesn't do that.
ben_vulpes: and gettxoutsetinfo by my (late, addled) research doesn't seem to appear before 0.8 something
ben_vulpes: it may be unfair to tar all work done since satoshi with the power rangers brush. gettxoutsetinfo + createrawtransaction + signrawtransaction are pretty close to a minimum viable bitcoind.
ben_vulpes: and to those following along with the "minimum viable bitcoind" saga at home, while createrawtransaction and signrawtransaction entered ~0.7, gettxoutsetinfo is not included.

assbot: Why Government-Funded Research Is Totally Fucking Borked | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1ydVQrv )
pete_dushenski: not working eh? maybe time to switch to duckduckgo or something?
decimation: yeah I'm real sure that lazing around and watching tv is CAUSED by spanking
assbot: Center for Effective Discipline Discipline at Home - Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center ... ( http://bit.ly/1Bq3kVR )
decimation: lolz http://www.gundersenhealth.org/ncptc/center-for-effective-discipline/discipline-at-home < "How is repressed anger often vented?[due to spanking as a child] By watching TV and playing video games to experience forbidden and stored up feelings of rage and anger, and by identifying with violent heroes. (Children who have never been beaten are less interested in cruel films, and, as adults, will not produce horror shows). "
decimation: nearly all the great science of the era came from people who were spanked as children
decimation: ugh it's true. read the logs about the german system ca. 1800's
pete_dushenski: "how dare you give him a 50% on his test!"
pete_dushenski: now it's all "bobby is a speshul trainflake"
pete_dushenski: "the teacher is right, you ARE good for nothing"
pete_dushenski: but parents who found out that their kids had been disciplined at school often disciplined the kid again at home
pete_dushenski: ya true
decimation: or harsher, as the case may be
pete_dushenski: and both his parents were teachers at the school too so that might've been easy treatment!
decimation: somehow that's not even a political issue anymore
pete_dushenski: my dad got a stick across the knuckles
decimation: he recalls that the us supreme court stopped all that around the late 60's
decimation: my dad (who went to school in the 60's) told me that back then children were reguarlly spanked for misbehavior
pete_dushenski: decimation speaking of things you can't get away with anymore, i was watching a bit of the breakfast club today and... can you possibly imagine a school giving students 8-hour detentions on saturdays anymore??
decimation: man one can't get away with that kind of thing anymore
decimation: same for south africa: "The chain was named after the United States chain F. W. Woolworth Company but, because of the contemporary trademark laws, the name was legally used without permission. No financial connection ever existed between the companies."
assbot: Woolworths Limited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1ydTV6q )
decimation: ah reading wikipedia, apparently the australian version of woolworths just stole the name, no actual business connection to the us store: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Limited
pete_dushenski: decimation hmm didn't know that
pete_dushenski: cazalla it was interesting to note where the same names popped up between canada and aus. everything from street names to stores to parks
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nigga+rigged | nigga rigged. Half assed way of fixing something that is busted. Often involving duct tape or whatever your broke ass has layin around the house. That fool nigga  ...
pete_dushenski: cazalla speaking of woolworth's, canada used to have a department store by the same name. went bankrupt a couple decades ago
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: "nigga rigged" << til
decimation: re: costco & amex << I suspect amex gives costco a deal (pays them) to force a large percentage of the upper-crust customer-base to have an amex card in their wallet
cazalla: pete_dushenski, i'd wager costco isn't doing too well here. aldi enjoys far more popularity as an alternative to the main 2 coles and woolworths
thestringpuller: it's funny how Gavin is all "I want bitcoin to compete with Visa/Mastercard", when anyone in Payment Processing knows those systems are seriously nigga rigged as is.
thestringpuller: I also think the timeout on a credit card transaction wire is like 15-20 seconds
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes well... no, not yet. though it seems like an appropriate thing to add to the 2015 resolutions
thestringpuller: that's cause the payment processors only validate whether or not the account should go through or not
pete_dushenski: eh their staffs are huge and everything is on the ground floor in big piles
pete_dushenski: right, you'd think low-margin operators like costco would do the bubble tea store style of cash/debit only
ben_vulpes: what's the restocking cost for 2 cosco-sized shopping carts?
pete_dushenski: but the feez!
thestringpuller: it's also expensive as fuck to accept it as a merchant
thestringpuller: "We only accept Amex" << that's the complete inverse of what you normally hear
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel stumpwm it is, although the nomenclature stems from ratpoison unless if i'm doing my archaeology correctly
cazalla: thestringpuller, let the man tour oz without need to visit qntra office / kids bedroom
pete_dushenski: the last time i was in a costco they didn't accept cash, visa, or mastercard, only amex and debit
cazalla: and then i can get a special deal on 20kg of hfcs eh
pete_dushenski: at least that's what i did last time i set foot in one
pete_dushenski: cazalla if you go on a busy saturday you can just point to someone else in line and say that you're "with them"
cazalla: pete_dushenski, i can't say i've been despite one opening around the corner from here a year ago.. pay to enter? what sort of american scheme is that?
pete_dushenski: every major city is either in the process of building a mega-opulent conferenceplex or has already done so in the last 5 years
pete_dushenski: re: conferences << this is an essential post-modern industry
pete_dushenski: cazalla: he comes to australia, shits all over our costco monuments and leaves << hey now, i loved your costco!
cazalla: thestringpuller, top fucking kek eh but what can ya do, people love these events for some reason even if they are nothing more than an herbalife pitchfest

pete_dushenski: lots to catch up on...
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell peterl am i going to have to do my own post scooping until i'm *completely* grey?
thestringpuller: cazalla: "I helped run plenty of conferences. I do have an idea. The priority is to make sure you have a conference that runs well enough that people don't notice the problems, and that everyone who paid to attend it gets their money's worth. Who actually paid to make it happen is a bit lower on the priority." << LOL FUCKING L
PeterL: I admit I was jumping up and down and shouting at my TV as the MSU Spartans pulled out a tight win
PeterL: some exciting football today, anybody else watching it?
PeterL: jurov_: cazalla says I should talk to you about shares for Qntra?
decimation: I would like to put in a good word for KnC miner. I ordered a Neptune from them last year (paid in bitcoin), I later canceled the order, and they wired the fiat to my bank (my choice). It took them 6 months to pay, but they paid.
assbot: cazalla662 comments on Josh Garza must not be allowed to speak at the Miami Bitcoin Conference! ... ( http://bit.ly/176NEy4 )
cazalla: ;;rate rassah -1 thinks it is too difficult to vet speakers but not too difficult to collect sponsorship money from them http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2r0twz/josh_garza_must_not_be_allowed_to_speak_at_the/cnbuxyx?context=3
decimation: who would bet against the inflation machine?
[]bot: Bet created: "S&P 500 to post 9th straight quarter of gains" http://bitbet.us/bet/1091/
decimation: re: professions being continuously destroyed: http://www.nachi.org/forum/f58/home-depot-now-rents-out-flir-cameras-58176/ << hilarity - 'home inspectors' are whining that you can now rent an infrared camera from the local hardware store - now who is gonna pay for their 'service'?
thestringpuller: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://i.imgur.com/O8Lwa6D.png
mike_c: ooh, happy new year to me. 216 qntra shares.
ben_vulpes: "they're all wired up. this is cattle country.
ben_vulpes: "is this one wired up?"
ben_vulpes: "banishing" the mouse to the lower left will trigger a dock emergence, and "banishing" the mouse to the upper right will similarly trigger a "menu bar" animation.
ben_vulpes: further adventures in bending macos to my will: the "menu bar" is hideable via configuring X11 to launch in "presentation mode", but afaik that space is still unusable.
cazalla: mod6, i'll ask bingoboingo to promote that later given i'm not really technically apt to know what i'm reporting on
cazalla: perhaps on account of wanting people to respect and fold to you?
xanthyos: not to mention i think my bankroll is much lower than the average #b-a regular
xanthyos: yes, if they are different people.
cazalla: i'd much rather play with people who play every single hand to the river than a bunch of folk with a VPIP of 10-15% even if they 'respect my hand' and fold
xanthyos: and wot integration is a way to make that less likely, not foolproof though
xanthyos: also i'd rather play against several great players than one shitty player who is running 5 bots on the same table
xanthyos: unless you have the nuts
xanthyos: poker's designed that way so there's always outs
xanthyos: the hand never favors you enough to not want to be able to take it down when you want
xanthyos: you'd think that
cazalla: why would you want idiots to fold? you want them to stay in and put even more money in the pot
xanthyos: hard to get idiots to fold
cazalla: xanthyos, i don't see the edge in playing with smart folk from here, at least for me personally, wot or no wot
xanthyos: rather than playing networks of collusion bots
cazalla: ;;later tell PeterL you need to speak to jurov regarding shares
cazalla: xanthyos, why would you want to play poker against people from this room?
