dub: you might be able
to donate hardware but
they wont give you control of it without a lot of
trust
mircea_popescu: the ircd is solid, and
the irc network is going
to be how we communicate.
dub: usually
the bar for linking a server is set kinda high
mircea_popescu: that way, if anything happens (such as freenode going down, or becoming assholes or w/e) we'll have a set of irc servers ready
to go and create our own irc network.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: IRC meets blockchain
technology << actually if you want
to do something useful, provision a server (ie,
the actual hardware), donate its use
to
the freenode people (they have a special page)
mircea_popescu: we're making it difficult for
the real nsa
to get one.
TomServo: I
thought NSA shirts shipped with cardano?! what is
this scam?!
dub: one each for your arms and
the hairy part in
the middle
Diablo-D3: like
those hilariously large faux horse dildos
dub: I know another kenneth who could use getting fucked
to death by a horse
Diablo-D3: there are much safer alternatives
than horse dick
Diablo-D3: yeah,
thats, uh, just, uh, lame
tbh
dub: Diablo-D3:
think so,
thats
the voyage of discovery mp is on
mircea_popescu: TomServo, its dawning of me
that for it
to be a perforated colon rather
than a
torn anus it'd have had
to be... in
TomServo: evidently
they can, may include perforated colon, but hey
mircea_popescu: "The police
tracked down
the rural Enumclaw-area farm, which was known in zoophile Internet chat rooms as a destination for people who want
to have sex with livestock, and seized hundreds of hours of videotapes of men engaging in receptive anal sex with horses. One of
the videotapes featured Kenneth Pinyan shortly before he died July 2"
mircea_popescu: "As
there was no law against humanely fucking one horse,
the prosecutors could only charge
Tait with
trespassing."
mircea_popescu: if i ever
turn
to a life of crime and merry robbery, i'ma leave
the victims arrest warrants in rem
too
dub: I
think
the most concerning vector of attack is
the fucking NSA
dub: they can't steal
them
though
mircea_popescu: if
that's done away with, dns may even survive as a going concern
mircea_popescu: the fact
that organised scammers can currently steal domain names is
the most important vector of attack reducing
the credibility of
the dns system
mircea_popescu: the other point being
that customers can have any car color
they want as long as it's black.
mircea_popescu: dub, i actually had missed
that one. apparently my internet use a decade ago was not sufficiently close
to matters of interes
tfor
the gay community.
dub: (you've been on
the internet right?)
pankkake: hey, not everyone can resist
the 72 virgins
mircea_popescu: and once i am, it's cool
to be, and once it's cool
to be everyone has no further options in
the matter.
mircea_popescu: i live
to make sure
the us won't be disrupted dontchaknow.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
that is so very much my concern,
that it'll rape
the us
dub: the market wants
to buy control
dub: yes, and as soon an grandma can get
to .bit and finds mr hands at wallmart.bit everyone involved is going
to court
then gitmo
pankkake: because
the media will make it as childporncoin or something?
mircea_popescu: mdev: he may
try and make nice nice
to get voice
then drop his link << so what if he does lol. bitcoin is backed by lulz.
dub: putting your name
to
this
thing is potentially worse
than any other coin imo
pankkake: I don't
think
the fee system is considered fixed for now. it is extremely cheap
to register something right now
mircea_popescu: dub, yeah i been sitting here
trying
to remember who was doing it
mircea_popescu: pretty much
the only demurage scheme
that makes any sense.
mircea_popescu: pankkake, splendid seriously. send
the devs my compliments.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell
TheNewDeal if
the network hovers at let's say, 1.1 %/day growth, what will be
the hash rate on October 1st << what's wrong with 1.0011^x like sane people ?
pankkake: I
think
they are, it created some controversy
dub: paid
to miners would be sensible neh?
mircea_popescu: anyway, what happens
to
the 1 ncent ? lost for all
time ?
pankkake: I
think it's 0.01 NMC,
then
the updates are usually free
pankkake: 0.9 changed many file locations,
the build system, etc. so it's pretty much all or nothing
mircea_popescu: pankkake, and how do
the costs
to reg a domain work at all ? is it a fixed fee ?
mircea_popescu: i subscribe
to
the coin control features, but definitely minus
the payment protocol bullshit.
pankkake: sha256, and everything
the same as Bitcoin
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: as well as updated windows binaries, Altcoin could certainly use coin control features.
there's
the possibility of using 0.9 (perhaps disable payment protocol as a statement), or merge
the bitcoin-omg 0.8 patches (probably less work)
mircea_popescu: remind me, what are
the chain characteristics ? sha256 ? how many per block, how frequent blocks ?
pankkake: makes it hard
to
track what's happening
pankkake: using namecoind is horrible.
though I haven't
tried
the Qt one
pankkake: I actually bought my last NMC
there, with my ATC sales
pankkake: though it's on my datacenter server, so for large amounts I'll have
to change
mircea_popescu: pankkake can you be bothered
to be my nmc broker or have you had it with brokering ?
mircea_popescu: hm. maybe it's
time
to stfu and actually support it a little.
pankkake: there are
things slowly happening. opennic now serves .bit,
there are a few services…
mircea_popescu: i was kinda having high hopes for namecoin.
then it died.
then i was having high hopes again.
then it seems it died #2 ?
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> what's more unfortunate, is
that
things where it is actually useful, like domain names and certificates… no one cares <<
this IS sad.
mircea_popescu: about
the missing mpex reports : s.nsa will be published
today. s.mpex will be published next month.
☟︎ ThickAsThieves: Jon Matonis – “The number one problem
that I hope Bitcoin will solve by
the end of 2015 is
the ability
to provide a realistic and viable alternative
to central bank issued currencies.”
ThickAsThieves: “By
the end of 2015 I hope
that Bitcoin will enable people
to be able
to
transact with other individuals across
the planet, without requiring permission from a bank or government.”
pankkake: what's more unfortunate, is
that
things where it is actually useful, like domain names and certificates… no one cares
fluffypony: just wait
till I have my Kickstarter for BitIRC
fluffypony: pankkake: but come now, EVERYTHING must be rewritten
to use blockchain
technology
Diablo-D3: Ive never had
to do
that because GASP I CAN HOST MY OWN REPO
Diablo-D3: like, right from git or something like
that
pankkake: but I fail
to see a compelling reason
to use it even
then
pankkake: the only
thing could be private repositories,
though
there already are client-side encryption projects
Diablo-D3: I dont get what hes
trying
to solve
fluffypony: to be voiced you
typically have
to be in
the WoT and in assbot's L1 or L2
trust, or be voiced by someone else
temporarily
mdev: i'll look into registering later so won't be a burden on you guys anyway with
the upping stuff
mdev: anyway gotta get ready, is my SO's birthday
today, if i'm not allowed
to idle in here I won't be upset if you end up kicking
mdev: lot of mobile projects out
there
too
