% of production was in the same area.
mircea_popescu: that 1
% total sale volume is the last sustainable place for it, after price increases past 100x demand collapses entirely and the good either becomes monetized or disappears outright, in the hands of collectors.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field here's the model i propose to you : current debit is 1mn units/day, say, call this t0. "world ends" event, t1. prices spike 40-50
% and social support wanes. demand drops 80
%. this is t2. production stops, and the pipeline gets diverted to storage, this is t3.

mircea_popescu: which, i wager, is 90
% of the useful reaction you've received on it anyway
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 15:31:58; thestringpuller: ascii_field: i thought the whole reason a "debate" even existed is because 90

☟︎ ascii_field: punkman: not literally. but can easily have bitcoin and 99.999
% of extant miners starving
mircea_popescu: that's the difference : i have no need for an arbitrary 18
% no matter what.
mircea_popescu: gives everyone some leverage - miners that want to keep blocks smaller can mine empty blocks. miners that mine large blocks have the usual disadvantage due to speed. the thing itself allows very limited growth, in the sense of 1
% growth if the previous two weeks were all full blocks.
punkman: "It implements a series of block size steps, one every ~97 days, between January 2017 and July 2063, each increasing the maximum block size by 4.4

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a good idea incidewntally. if i ran the school, it'd be "this class fails 90
% - if the teacher doesn't flunk that many we'll draw lots, but student body DOES get decimated one way or another"
phf: a prof at umd (hanan samet, he did his grad work at stanford under john mccarthy) told me that he tried teaching SICP for a semester, with the predictable result of 90

shinohai: I haven't got it to run 100
% for me outside of a basic x86_64 build. I am waiting to see a build log for arm systems, then I think I can run with the cross-compilation thing.
mod6: Sure thing. Agree 100
%, but since 'rotor' can run on any "sane" linux (to quote ascii), we don't have to marry ourselves to Gentoo and thereby also provide steps to build Gentoo. As 'rotor' should work basically anywhere. Needs to really.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, well you already have the merc and that's 99
% of the way there to adding the flags
