undata: I've thought a lot about spending magnet links into the blockchain too
undata: there's some synthesis of these ideas that works

undata: latest rating by timestamp wins
undata: but a small amount wouldn't hurt that bad

undata: here's one thing I've considered spending into the blockchain
TheNewDeal: lets say someone actually comes up with a new alternative to bitcoin that actually makes some sort of improvement

TheNewDeal: it increases the worth of the other coins, doesnt it?
undata: why would that be a good idea?
TheNewDeal: do you think that's true?

assbot: Loper OS » Practical Blockchain Telegraphy.
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1490 << that one.
asciilifeform: laugh, but that thing is almost literally - my 'blockchain telegraph.'
mircea_popescu: "We also need to find the sender's address, so we know where to send the money. This is done by looking at the inputs of the original transaction. The transaction can have multiple inputs that are all under the control of the sending party. We just send everything back to one of the input addresses at random."
TheNewDeal: isn't getting info by txid a nono?

mircea_popescu: you mean where private first class amanda stole all the data ?
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, is the bush-era document specifying 'obama tent' but also all chambers in which mega-top-dildonic-pleasure-secret clearance work is permitted.
asciilifeform: the hilarity of even presuming to distinguish the equivalence classes.
mircea_popescu: o look, tin foil mitigaiton for ir.

undata: that guy has the smirk of a kid who just pissed the pool on purpose
asciilifeform: google - coughed up that one.
asciilifeform: i think just about everyone has a copy
asciilifeform: ancient usenet turd
mircea_popescu: anyway, in this particular case the best rebuttal is letting the guy do whatever he does after "setting sights"
asciilifeform: like that spam template, yes.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should just publish a schematic, help these dumbasses self-rebutt
undata: "is scam because isn't money" and "blockchain technology!"
undata: mthreat: I just read that; what an asshat
asciilifeform: still working to reproduce
asciilifeform: potentially-exploitable crash of unix 'patch' << repeating this in order to remind the turdatron folks of the gravity of their situation.
mircea_popescu: gotta try something.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> ya know, over the past month i've been reading articles, there has been many fluff pieces that keep pushing this idea that bitcoin the technology is what is valuable and not the "currency" <<< yep. classic approach. "it's not the barrel that we're affraid of, it's the crazy shit stuck on all sides of rifle".
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At least head has protection in its "floor" unlike Obama tent
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: head is best tent.
assbot: Innovation spaces where Oliver Bussman lives the dream
cazalla: http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2014-10-27/fintech-news-2-oliver-bussman-ubs?ea9c8a2de0ee111045601ab04d673622 is a example of what i said earlier, this guy drops bitcoin all together and just calls it blockchain. "That’s quite a list. The trend he puts at the top of his list is blockchain, the underlying technology behind Bitcoin, which he says is the megatrend with the biggest potential to bring change to the financial services sector
asciilifeform: (see earlier thread)
asciilifeform: all from a little bit of binary crapolade from removing png from turdball

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which is why theft is not an acceptable source of evidence << it won't be a legal, but a vivisectionary proceeding. like us loling at the snowden crap.
undata: cazalla: he's a shittier Bill Maher for the internet, without even the redeemer of being funny
cazalla: undata, seems that way, it comes across contrived
cazalla: ya know, over the past month i've been reading articles, there has been many fluff pieces that keep pushing this idea that bitcoin the technology is what is valuable and not the "currency", andreas kick this shit off with "blockchain technology" and now everyone is repeating this shit

mircea_popescu: the general idea is that nobody who gets involved into something like this in any capacity and on any side survives. period.
ben_vulpes: "death of the preivous hard fork" meaning the actions that brought everyone onto the same chain?
mircea_popescu: so... not as simple as that.
mircea_popescu: well, the death of the previous hard fork (the one gavin & hearn created) happened through the cooperation of the meanwhile defunct 50btc guild.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: so the pool operators really decide if the hard fork goes off, correct?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: at some point, perhaps, a major mine operator will be pwned and his crown jewels throw to the mob. then we can study live code. << why would anyone do that ? it's difficult to trust the authenticity of a stolen thing, which is why theft is not an acceptable source of evidence in legal proceedings
BingoBoingo: ge "FU TEMPEST!!!"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps" << I imagine this scene happening with alf in a tent. No context is given for the tent until he gets up to take a shit and the view sees the tend is in an otherwise pedestrian living room and emblazoned with the messa

undata: one of those posts they hand out to the kids to prep them for later
undata: I watched a video earlier of one of the younger Bushes, who's now Texas Land Commissioner

undata: as for the second, *shrug*
mircea_popescu: undata: pretty ungrateful to call the guy retarded. << it's an act of love, you just don't know how the world works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps"

assbot: Hillary Clinton No Longer Believes That Companies Create Jobs - Bloomberg Politics
asciilifeform: nah it's more a case of 'i'm a titled noble with certificate of anal virginity from the crown and nobody should criticize me'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i just love how the krugman shitgnomes prattle on about the need for physical 'use-value' in currencies and then go on to bid on apple-1 pcbs and jackson pollack paintings << they are stupid and how dare you demand they be consistent!
