ben_vulpes: the
thing was ready. now i need
to go load
the wallet.dat format into my brain.
dignork: mircea_popescu: it need
to be marked as encrypted, otherwise bitcoind might do stupid
things
mircea_popescu: you can insert any address you want in your wallet. sure, you won't have
the privkey
to sign with it. so ?
mircea_popescu: you can grep
the blockchain for chrissakes if nothing else.
dignork: ben_vulpes: well, his proper answer would be: here is x-lines of python code,
that will overwrite privkey with 0's in your wallet, now load it as read-only
ben_vulpes: i'd be *thrilled*
to hear
the counterpoint.
ben_vulpes: but someone making comments like
that cannot be
trusted with bitcoin code review.
ben_vulpes: this guy helped shut watch-only wallets and addresses out of
the core client, while merging in heartbleed.
gribble: Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated

mircea_popescu: Sir
Thomas More: And when we die, and you are sent
to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent
to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?
mircea_popescu: The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all
this. I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether
the marriage was lawful or not but dammit,
Thomas, look at
these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship!
mircea_popescu: there's a nice quote in
that 60s scofield movie on just
this
topic :
mircea_popescu: gotta show me i'm not
the only one
that can be an asshole!
mircea_popescu: the
thing with people is
that most of
them are better served by following
than leading.
this is manifested by an inability
to adhere
to a self-selected set of rules. so, you know, he wants
to roll with
the punches.
punkman: "WHAT IS
THIS ROMANIAN CULT IN A CAVE"
punkman: mircea_popescu: I like how he complains about ad hominem and spits
them out every few lines
punkman: oh wow

mircea_popescu: except random derps don't have ideas,
tehy have expressions of what
they
think are ideas.
mircea_popescu: the numbers are not
the problem.
their representation is. much like "ideas" come in sets of logical groups
ben_vulpes: i always
thought numbers came in a select set of logical groups
ben_vulpes: floats and longs and dates and
times and ints and bigints and omg i had no idea computers were insane
mircea_popescu: i can't decide if i prefer cognac or rum with
this chocolate fondue.
they're both so damned good!
mircea_popescu: it's a great coincidence
that wood burns cleanly and coal only slightly dirty, otherwise civilisation'd have been quite a different
thing.
mircea_popescu: bats_cd03: apparently, composite materials involved in fire result in aerosolized particles
that can behave like asbestos <<< yes,
this is why fires are so dangerous in contemporary urban settings.
the smoke kills you more often
than
the fire.
cazalla: actually, works for some, not others, maybe it's up
to whoever listed it
cazalla: it
throws me
this message when i
tried
to grab casinobitco.in update - "You must be logged in and own units of
the fund"
cazalla: when did havelock change so
that you must be logged in and own shares in order
to download reports?
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns
the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick> as a GPG key ID.
☟︎ nanotube: <mircea_popescu> nanotube hey listen, is
there some way for gribble or
http://bitcoin-otc.com to be queried by gpg signature rather
than nick ? <- if you mean by gpg keyid/print,
then gpg info supports query by keyid. website does not currently but in
theory
that can be arranged.
TheNewDeal: is
that why bitbet
takes so long from resolved
to my wallet :D
kakobrekla: <TheNewDeal> do you
think miners will start rejecting
transactions with fees below a certain amount? < only
the poor people pay fees
mircea_popescu: punkman: "the expenses
the largest is legal at $296,000 followed by rent at $111,000" << shoudl be interesting what
they rent for 111k. weren't
the derps in san francisco whining coupla months ago
that 10 / month / sqfoot is "outside of what a business can pay" ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: "The sale still has 28 days left
to go; although we are not expecting much out of
this remaining period, anything is possible." <- why would it suddenly stop? <<
three gini guesses, and anything
that's not "because
they stopped wash
trading" dun count.
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in
the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered

mircea_popescu: punkman: sounds like some honest hard work over
there << i wonder how much btc
they get paid.
mircea_popescu: everyone's just sell sell sell not even a moment
to consider it may be veering into
the fucking ridiculous after a while ?
jborkl: Never mind
the 403 it works
mircea_popescu: tefl/tkt ? holy shit, english
teachers are now
talking about
their connections in
the world ? what
the fuck is wrong with
this world, jesus.
TheNewDeal: then off peak, back
to some lower levels
TheNewDeal: it would be interesting
to see if
there were peak hours where high fee
transactions were
the vast majority
to get
through
mircea_popescu: obviouisly. scarce resource, expensive
to make. gotta be
this
tal lto ride.
TheNewDeal: I'm just wondering, do yo
think
that is how
things will go?
TheNewDeal: do you
think miners will start rejecting
transactions with fees below a certain amount?
mircea_popescu: and it looks like it's gonna go 12.x, and
then x as in 6-9ish
mircea_popescu: dignork
that's not
the problem.
the equation roughly is, "total btc miners get for mining". how
that chunk is composed dun matter much.
dignork: right, so fees jumped from 0.1%
to 0.2 #
mircea_popescu: if you look at secular averages,
there is a huge jump.
dignork: TheNewDeal: well, currently fees are very small relative
to pyaouts, so it wasn;t supposed
to create price jump
mircea_popescu: real prices don't follow fundamentals exactly.
this is how you know
they're real prices.
TheNewDeal: then why wasn't
there a huge price jump during
the reward halving?
mircea_popescu: what did you
think drove
the price, "merchant adoption"?
dignork: which might cost gazillions, but you can't count on it, price might rise slower
than payout fall
mircea_popescu: that's where
this lets go : btc price goes up high enough for it
to be worthwhile
to miners.
that
tiny cent.
mircea_popescu: dignork what's
that $40 come from, 600ish
tx per block, 25 btc per
tx, 600 $ per btc ?
dignork: TheNewDeal: so
the logic goes: currently miners are reimbursed ~40$ per
tx, what will happen
to
them when payout drops. It's actually a valid question imho.

mircea_popescu: chetty: How exactly are we
to successfully and correctly examine ourselves when
the only ?normal? we know is found in
the boiling pot of water we presently occupy? <<
trilema!11!11!eleven :D
dignork: mircea_popescu: I
think it's a beginning of beautiful friendship. or not.
dignork: TheNewDeal: yeah, but it's an extrapolation,
to when miners payouts drop
to zero

TheNewDeal: Gotcha. I was
taking it
to mean 40$ in fees per
transaction

tx per block
dignork: TheNewDeal: it sounds like fallacy, but it's partially
true
