mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is apolitical except to the extent it by the harsh realities of mathematics and actual economics finds itself in opposition to all forms of socialism."
<< "Bitcoin is apolitical, yet by the harsh realities of mathematics and actual economics it necessarily finds itself in opposition to all forms of socialism. Which, arguably, are apolitical as well, inasmuch as politics is about the polis not the utopia."

<asciilifeform> except the process of searching by trial and error destroys the head music.
<< This so much
BingoBoingo: My hypothesis is that whistling and humming acquire the correct pitch by way of bang-bang correction. The delay between each “bang” your brain produces and the resulting sound is imperceptibly small, because the vocal apparatus is located so near, and the necessary muscle motions are so minute. Thus, the correct pitch seems to come out as if by magic. And yet no magic is involved.
<< Normally magic of musicians with perfect pi

mircea_popescu: trinque: why the fuck for example do I have some daemon running for accessibility
<< generally that's because if you need it you can't turn it on, so it has to be on by default. you can turn it off obviously.

mircea_popescu: mats: its hilarious that anyone wanted to pay so much as 1mn for blockchain.info
<< you are thinking money as in, someone earned / saved these. that's not what's happening there : they're spending money that was simply created by yellen / conjured up by accounting fraud / etc.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> introduction of a new versioning system should not be an ad hoc thing.
<< or a thing at all.
decimation: re: ntp & bitcoind

<ben_vulpes> can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't.

mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> fellow using webwalled - is quite like above illustration.

mod6: i was pretty set on v0.5.3.1 until ascii tells us that we might not be able to be talk to anything
< 0.8 -- which to me seems weird.. because i've fully syncd a dozen times, and done send/receive np
mod6: so my point here is, without a bigger overhaul to the versioning system; one would have to set 90000 to be v0.9.0, or 9000000 to be 9.0.0, but then what? because we should be counting down. and at some point, we'll cross the threshold of
< 0.8
mod6: and im wondering, if we use kalvin, and start at 9000 (it'll result in v0.0.90-beta) how we can ensure that other nodes won't think we're on
< 0.8

<trinque> #btcd tells me I'll eventually be able to query address balance with just btcd and btcctl... seems like keeping its own count is fine, no?
<< key word - "eventually"
ben_vulpes:
<coderwill> there were promises of equity but nothing official that i saw (other than verbal)
<< how does this fly with you people - verbal contracts for a thing with nothing written. when you sign the paper that says "i will work for thus and such" do you not stink the place up for lack of options?
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> can't use time of last block then
<< that's where i caught
BingoBoingo:
<mod6>
<+asciilifeform> call it whatever name, but assigning a version equal to ancient phoundation release is foolish.
<< foolish because of nodes that wont talk with
< 0.8, or foolish another reason? i've always detested version numbering because of "marketing"
<< Propper solution is counting down from 9000
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> it is then tempting to omit ntp entirely...
<< i have no idea why it'd have been included.
