to avoid saying “professionally”). With structural explanations, a strategy guide plus pronounciation revealed! pe

BingoBoingo: <PeterL> was
there a consensus as
to if I should add prestonbryne.com
to scoopbot's list? << Prolly not, he stops by here very rarely.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: what would be
truly astonishing would be - municipal gsm. but pig's chance of flight << Aha!
PeterL: was

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: u.s.
towns in
this case are either prey or small change.
tertium non datur. << Small, affluent compared
to
the surrounding error.
BingoBoingo: <bounce>
the US does have a habit of starting some community initiative only
to see it lobbied into
the ground because it would be "unfair"
to overpriced unwilling monopolistic large corporations << No, it happens. You just need a
town
that can get away with it. Muni internet exists here and had no serious opposition.
ben_vulpes: i'm
talking about distributing a sourceball with patches merged.
ben_vulpes: there's also a discussion
to have about how
to distribute
punkman: was playing with vanitygen, found a 1tits address
that also says "how hot" in private key
cazalla: you got
the scoop
this
time scoopbot
bounce: and
the block problem is a DB handling problem, wasn't it? making swapping DB
thingies a bit of a priority.
cazalla: imagine having
to build your website
to accomodate such people or get your shit handed
to you

bounce: maybe
the same reason why "modern" word-produced
turds end up with more fonts
than words
mircea_popescu: i
think ima make a list of romanian cursing.
the internet is appalling.
nubbins`: you'd see
this occasionally in old letterpress shit, where
the publisher ran outta
type in
the given font
nubbins`: side note:
that's a silkscreened cover

mircea_popescu: but if
there was a candidate for "magic packet" undocumented behaviour of
the subverted gavin-bitcoin,
this is it.
bounce: or, well, start with dropping
the
things on
the ml, it's
there for
this sort of
thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: and zapping
the idiotic db corruption <<<
there is more
to
this story, i doubt it's just "corruption". sadly i dun have
the smoking gun.
nubbins`: provide
text file w/
trusted nodes as argument or smth
bounce: something
to drop on a
todo list in a wiki or something
mircea_popescu: (said fallback list being another
thing
that should go away, but iirc
this was mentioned)
nubbins`: not like
this isn't a fool's errand anyway, if it's gonna clam up at block 250k
mircea_popescu: bounce yes, actually, by editing
the fallback list and wiping its other methods of acquisition
bounce: would be worth it
to
trace a couple yourself and pick a good one,
then force-feed it
bounce: can you force what node it'll fetch
the blockchain from?
nubbins`: 60KB/s is probably
the best upload speed i'll ever get from some random user
nubbins`: i'm assuming it grabs a diff node each
time
nubbins`: yeah, see, bitcoind crashes ~1x daily on
this vm
mircea_popescu: obviously exact result can not be known, because
the specification is gavin's mother's cunt.
nubbins`: only
thing i know how
to flush is
the
toilet
nubbins`: seriously
tho, i'm downloading blocks over fiber at 60KB/s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bitcoin is being introduced
today for
the first
time, plays out exactly as described.
mircea_popescu: obviously usgavin
then failed
to deliver on
this, as on anything else. another broken promise.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` satoshi's origina, likely defensible call was
that "hack it
this way so it works, fix later when more manpower"
bounce: the US does have a habit of starting some community initiative only
to see it lobbied into
the ground because it would be "unfair"
to overpriced unwilling monopolistic large corporations
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
that's another one for
the endless list : fix
the motherfucking p0p implementation so it actually is p2p
z33andO_o: if you pick a slow one
then it
takes ages
nubbins`: huly fu-u-u-u-u-ck it
takes a long
time
to download
the blockchain
mircea_popescu: it's another because... uh... whatever
the whiteplains excuse is.
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to have shitty internet because you can't afford
to lay cable.
bounce: but it's all
the more poignant for
the excellent backbone infrastructure
that really doesn't exist in africa
mircea_popescu: really, most of
the "poor countries" are basically ohio minus us style cops. bout same facilities and amenties.
mircea_popescu: lol i bet half of africa has better internet
than half of ny state.
bounce: not sure why
this concentrates on "cities of at least 50k households"

mircea_popescu: the
tophalf of a sphere always holds (2^n-1)/2^n of
the volume.
mircea_popescu: the area (ie, 2d volume) of a circle (ie, 2d sphere) is pi r ^ 2.
the area of a circle half as big ? pi (r/2) ^ 2. so
therefore 3/4 of
the sphere's volume is within
the
tophalf of its radius.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: chetty: n-dimensional sphere, as n increases <<
this is actually interesting
to work out.
