davout:
mircea_popescu: if one day we ever physically meet i will insist on an actual penile measurment being performed by a local official
davout:
mircea_popescu: if not we're going to end up with a network made only of miners, and miners won't have an incentive to relay fee-paying txes to their neighbors
Ukyo:
mircea_popescu: : no, he lurks everywhere regardles
Luke-Jr: and
mircea_popescu chases off the people who do
kakobreklaa:
mircea_popescu i think mtgox payes luke to include their txes
dub: jcpham: were talking about how
mircea_popescu's cock is bigger than davout's
jcpham: i doubt anything actually shocks
mircea_popescu awkorama:
mircea_popescu: compared to other currencies you mean ?
Luke-Jr:
mircea_popescu: anything other than a direct financial transaction is abusing the communal agreement on what the blockchain is for
Luke-Jr:
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin users have agreed to store FINANCIAL TRANSFERS in the blockchain. Not DNS. Not game activity. Not notifications.

davout:
mircea_popescu: well, at least thank you! i'm starting to feel slightly amused :D
davout:
mircea_popescu: i couldn't tell them apart, balls were touching
Luke-Jr: davout:
mircea_popescu's problem in this case seems to be he likes to think he's important
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: No, the point of the exercise was to make public comments.
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: I wasn't aware we should be impressing you. :)
Luke-Jr:
mircea_popescu: responsible miners will continue to mine blocks without dice spam
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: By the time the block reward is < txn fees, this problem will already have been solved.
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: txn that don't DDoS can stick around.
Luke-Jr:
mircea_popescu: also, it's hardly a consensus when there's 1 person..
gigavps:
mircea_popescu is too smart for the rest of us
Luke-Jr:
mircea_popescu: then SD can die
gigavps:
mircea_popescu, it will be their down fall then
gigavps:
mircea_popescu, the idea is to make SD take deposits and not do everything through the block chain
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: There an ancillary issue (for miners at least) for txn verification as well. I don't really view the max block size as an issue, since I have no trouble running multi-TB databases, so I, personally, will have no issue remaining a node even if maxblocksize increases massively
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: Which maxblocksize issue are you talking about?
JWU_42:
mircea_popescu: we are quite litigious here in the US

mircea_popescu: that guy got busted for breaking drug dealing protocol
pizzaman1337:
mircea_popescu: is there a public-facing API that streams MPEX trades?
mjr_: speaking of which, do you have any api limits
mircea_popescu? i can slow down my bot if you like
smickles: heh, i thought you loved satoshis
mircea_popescu ;)
mjr_: as
mircea_popescu calculated...it would be very hard to overcome practically any fee
kakobreklaa:
mircea_popescu, its the way of the road, bud.
