othernubs`: i'll donate 1btc specifically to guarantee no gui for 0.6-0.7
othernubs`: i don't think gui should be a priority, at all.
mike_c: charter ideas: 1) maintain a workable core with no shit in it. 2) specify bitcoin 3) write a new implementation because you can't polish a turd.
asciilifeform: i refuse to build the winblows gui ver., though.
othernubs`: can't wait to see the charter
othernubs`: calling it a book seems to boorish at this point
bounce: how much boost is in there anyway?
jurov: heh..wait till they break boost compat
othernubs`: asciilifeform, you okay with yr manuscript elucidating the forthcoming Real Bitcoin 0.6?
asciilifeform: mainly because this involves virtually no work.
asciilifeform: maintain << i will, sure. if someone actually wants this.

othernubs`: copy the cream, chuck the crap ☟︎
othernubs`: i'd recommend the next few minor releases merge as many non-crufty fixes from core as possible, but that's just one man's opinion
mod6: <+othernubs`> mod6 ben_vulpes put this book thing to rest once and for all; merge useful changes from 0.6.3 into 0.5.3 and call that your baseline << agreed.
Apocalyptic: that's a weird announcement to make...
othernubs`: jurov, the basdard
othernubs`: soldier gets shot, solution is for all other soldiers to get naked
jurov: btcfoundation.org is regged to some "Matthew Campbell","Bryan Thomas Campbell Foundation", Scottsdale, US
othernubs`: what madness is this
othernubs`: canadian forces warning personnel not to wear their uniforms off-base?!
mircea_popescu: othernubs` "Bitcoin, the definitive edition" ?
othernubs`: we'll publish the goddamn thing
othernubs`: mod6 ben_vulpes put this book thing to rest once and for all; merge useful changes from 0.6.3 into 0.5.3 and call that your baseline
mircea_popescu: if they even decide to use github
mircea_popescu: what the fuck does it need a website for even.
mircea_popescu: which is my fucking point. this "name and logo" approach to "ideas" is for the birds.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin.foundation too ?
jurov regs therealbitcoinfoundation.org
mircea_popescu: hardly. it'd be the bitcoin foundation. because it's what it is.
RagnarDanneskjol: spkg of name *motion to rename 'ACTUAL bitcoin foundation' to homebrew bitcoin club
othernubs`: shit, drop the core and just call it Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: this is bitcoin. that some other derps are calling their derpage bitcoin too... well who cares.
mircea_popescu: othernubs` there's really no cause to fork the name too. let the gavin-mike-dorkteam run into obscurity and that's that.
mircea_popescu: cazalla by the way, intel sez that the reason you've not heard from sgornick nor will you is that the guy meanwhile figured out i'm involved, and doesn't like me either because i said nigger or cunt at some point in the past.
othernubs`: SatoshiCore: don't run with the chumps
mircea_popescu: especially a shitty one run in circles through featuritis swamp by idiots
othernubs`: mircea_popescu> draft a charter, then it gets gpg signed and that's it ? i'd donate <<< me too
mircea_popescu: a there we go. cool!
mircea_popescu: tis in the logs, i wonder how it's keyed
bounce: how'd that go? o_O
bounce: do we have sources on us vs ru jet fighter quality other than herr orlov?
bounce: twice the ass
mod6: but been a freebsd guy for a long time, helped out on a lot of various things.
bounce: what'd you port then?
mircea_popescu: ah git. well u dunno man, that's why there's foundation chairs. sort this shit out.
mod6: bounce: noting in C++ that i can point to right this minute in OS space. Mostly C stuff is out there... my freebsd port I created is in C.
bounce: perhaps not a good idea to rely on them. then again, hosting a git repo isn't exactly difficult.
mircea_popescu: how, they ?
mircea_popescu: jurov not unfixable, that.
bounce: they're starting to bitch about browser versions
jurov: and i was told the code was refactored quite
mircea_popescu: well once they actually get the charter signerd i suppose there's going to be a geethoob
jurov: it's against 0.8, tho
mats_cd03: this sounds like something i want to be involved in ☟︎
mod6: i've done a fair amount of C++ in the past. a lot more C though, I must admit.
thickasthieves: run it totally transparently
mircea_popescu: they can hire/work with whoever the fuck they want.
TheNewDeal: ooo the scamcoin foundation?
mircea_popescu: i think that'd be the other one.
TheNewDeal: securing finances is just part of the mo?
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal i dun thyink so. you see, it's by doing shit.
mircea_popescu: jurov well, ideally people on death's door aren't in the chair position.
[]bot: Bet placed: 2 BTC for No on "Bitcoin difficulty to fall before Mar 2015" http://bitbet.us/bet/1058/ Odds: 1(Y):99(N) by coin, 1(Y):99(N) by weight. Total bet: 2.1 BTC. Current weight: 99,996.
thickasthieves: i had same idea this morning actually
jurov: i see. deaths are to be announced 6 moths prior, too.
mircea_popescu: stable indefinitely like that.
mircea_popescu: jurov none of that, i'm thinking more of, have two co-chairs, then when one wants to go out they vote unanimously to add a third, and after 6 months the retiring one can leave.
mircea_popescu: prolly not teh only one.
mircea_popescu: draft a charter, then it gets gpg signed and that's it ? i'd donate
mircea_popescu: mod6 ben_vulpes would you two be interested in cochairing an ACTUAL bitcoin foundation ? dedicated to ~actually~ maintaining the bitcoin core etc ?

mod6: ;;rate PinkPosixPXE 1 Helped me out testing ben_vulpes install script.
mod6: I'll paste the entire thing, just a sec.
mod6: there was 2 very minor changes to your sed command in there that PinkPosixPXE helped me with. needs to be: sed -i 's/USE_UPNP:=0/USE_UPNP=/1'
mircea_popescu: i am serious, there's just no way to run a web server w/o it.
mircea_popescu: bounce nah, qntra is the only thing on quantcast.
bounce: though that'd be the wrong thing to compare with. the other 'bitcoin'-news services would be better to compare with
bounce: you got the same numbers but for log.bitcoin-assets.com, just for comparison?
mircea_popescu: it's thirty a day for crissakes
mircea_popescu: bounce but 1k ? it's like... anything is seen by a thousand people in a month.
bounce: mind the "us" part. that's only some large fraction of 310M people. there's at least as many people online in china, and europe again, and so on.
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo : didja see quantcast's "affinity index" ? wired.com 32.7x reddit.com 26.2x zerohedge.com 26.1x theverge.com 20.8x wsj.com 19.3x. made to own, that thing.
bounce: them 'merkins really can't keep their fingers out of anything and they manage to fsck up everywhere. not a new observation, but it hasn't ceased to be painfully true either.
mircea_popescu: "339,192 US rank. This site reaches over 858 monthly people" << holy shit, it's not fucking possible that 1k people reading you on a monthly basis puts you in the top 300k sites on the internets.
bounce has way too much to read. *sigh*
bounce: dunno what happened. any user-agent headers in the original?
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's a good filter for the killfile.
mircea_popescu: o so basically the idea is, client autodecrypted and then appended it to email history as per usual ?
bounce: stupid s/w and clueless user. it's what you get when most of the userbase is clueless: the writers of mailclients will also be clueless.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: anthony di iorio, very memorably (because i've never seen this before), replied to my gpg-gram... in plaintext. and it included my original email. in plaintext. <<< ahahahh.this is like, what, built from the ground up with derpidity in mind ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: On a side note, I've noticed Roger Ver's bitcoinstore is not...around anymore? << well it wasn't really making all that much.
mircea_popescu: he's not much more middleeastern-y-er than obam.
BingoBoingo: bounce: He married a white girl is as far as I can tell.
mircea_popescu: that was the first of since then numerous times putin shoved his cock in obama's butt.
bounce: not that that wouldn't have happened a bit later anyway, with the sharia-huggers
mircea_popescu: remember that humiliating "chemical weapons" thing ?
