kakobrekla: maybe you need
to bridge

mircea_popescu: e never prunable, and pay-to-scripthash minimizes output size without harming
total size."
mircea_popescu: "Elimination of output scripts: all
transactions pay-to-scripthash, probably with a single byte indicating
the scripthash
type. Other
than reducing effective output script secrecy (which is not possible without OP_EVAL anyways)
this is believed
to be costless, and
the secrecy can be recovered with recursive OP_EVAL.
The motivation here is
that data in outputs is far more expensive
than inputs because some outputs may b
mircea_popescu: here's a good one, asciilifeform, ben_vulpes, whoever else can follow
the logic :
cazalla: prolly, never heard of anyone being arrested for
this sort of shit but prob happens from
time
to
time
mircea_popescu: cazalla is
this in fact just giving
the police ample room
to hassle obnoxious
teenagers ?
punkman: they should ban clothes, could use
them
to strangle people
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the 10 buns in a package producer lobby is working as we speak
to make
the bread knife illegal.
punkman: was impossible
to open plastic packaging without second knife anyway
cazalla: punkman,
they'll arrest you for carrying a knife unless you happen
to have a fishing rod with you, are a chef.. some "legitimate excuse" for having a knife in other words
mircea_popescu: da fuck, pay money

to buy a metal knife?
mircea_popescu: see, it's stupidities of

mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, outside some very narrow applicaitons such as i dunno, oversized icecream cones, i don't actually use nor would i want
to use a plastic spoon. because what for ? do i need it
to eat my campaign flan and i'm
too far from an actual
table with actual cutlery or something ?
mircea_popescu: on one hand
three cents is an insane price
to pay for a plastic spoon.
those
things go for about a bitcoin a
ton. so whatever, 500 satoshi each ?
mircea_popescu: aside
the obvious objection
that "right wingers" have nothing
to do with all
this, and aside
the spurious conflation of plastics and nuclear power,
mircea_popescu: decimation: I would
therefore like
to ask all my readers
to
take a look around
them and note everything plastic, and
then say a quiet "thank you"
to
the right-wingers <<< imo
that argument fails on pretty much all
the angles.
mircea_popescu: in other news, overweight redditards don't go out of

the impression
that everyone's really working on
the same
thing ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: dafuq do you know, maybe you need

assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 17:17:27; mrjr: los_pantalones: i run LedgerLock, we're working on a product called

http://shesquad.com/melanie-shapiro/ "Dr. Melanie Shapiro holds a PhD in Consumer Behavior and specializes in customer acquisition, branding strategy and digital marketing. " <<< ahh
this chan delivers.
mircea_popescu: i don't get
this braindamage. "we're
the most secure option because you don't actually own your keys" ?
mircea_popescu: ""We are
the most secure option because we're a piece of dedicated hardware. We use multi-sig authentication.
There are
three keys and each of
those keys is stored in a different location.""
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: durian is a weapon of mass destruction <<< you

mircea_popescu: decimation: "The Brazilification of society can be a samba carnival assuming you approach it

the barbed wire fence." <<<
this has been exactly my experience
to date.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: decimation: mike_c: "To enforce
the law one must be above
the reach of
the law" is pretty much
the US m.o. since... Nixon at least << nah, Nixon was actually
trying
to clean house, was pushed out by
those who are above
the law << what, he gets points for
trying ?
there's better ways
to clean
things up
than sending spooks
to derp in offices.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: it will be a 'temporary relocation center'
to
them, even when
the shower heads start hissing out
the zyklon. <<< well, as
tal said
to pete, "what's my incentive
to interact with reality ?"
mircea_popescu: "On
top of
this
the recent release of SolidCoin has highlighted another problem in
the Bitcoin protocol. It it susceptible
to a drop off in "mining power", which is essentially
the people who process
transactions switching
to more profitable
things such as SolidCoin."
mircea_popescu: "We wondered why nobody fixed
the issues and made
things easier for
the many out
there
that aren't computer engineers. After some discussion with a few of
the developers we came away completely surprised.
They
thought, and still do, Bitcoin is fine and very little needs
to change."
mircea_popescu: anyway, let
the record reflect
that yes,
there was a point in 2011 when gavin was sane.
mircea_popescu: luckily, he has some of
the decades left, it's not all used.
mircea_popescu: "After developing numerous sites and businesses using Bitcoin,
those of us now involved with SolidCoin saw major problems. Massive flaws in interfacing with
the Bitcoin network forced us
to use numerous work-arounds, using nearly all of our decades long experience as computer scientists."
mircea_popescu: clearly, "stagnation" is what
the progressive state wants out of
things :D
