fluffypony: JorgePasada: I like VertCoin because it keeps my GPU frames in business; I'm peripherally interested in PPC because of PoS; I
think X11 based coins like Darkcoin are playing with some interesting concepts, and I am VERY interested in (the new) Bytecoin's ring signatures (although I prefer Monero as it's Bytecoin's code but without
the dodgy premine/possibly faked blockchain data)
mircea_popescu: or are we of
the persuasion now
that laws need just be made, and
teh populace will just swallow whatever
they happen
to be /
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves:is bitcoin money? yes is it property? yes << and who
the fuck would accept such laws ?
fluffypony: he
thinks
they are
the very scorn of
the earth
fluffypony: JorgePasada:
there are some altcoins I quite fancy
JorgePasada: I'm assuming
the general opinion in
this channel is
that most of
the altcoins are just pump and dump schemes
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves wait, you dumped
the girl because she
took it in
the ass ?! dude you're wrapped up
too
tight.
mircea_popescu: hey, what was btc-e's first altcoin scam
thing called ? i forget, was it novacoin ?
ThickAsThieves: well we never screwed,
that event kinda wrecked
things over
time
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "honey, all
that
trouble i went
to so you could have a bloodied pecker and make me hurt... show some appreciaiton."
ThickAsThieves: all
these claims of virginity,
then one day "Hey did you know Mikey put it in her pooper?"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i knew chicks like
that. "saving
themselves for marriage". kinda pervy imo
mircea_popescu: plenty of countries around
the world you can get a virginity cert off any gp.
BigBitz: Pick up hooker. Go
to Australia. Done.
ThickAsThieves: "In order
to circumvent U.S. laws prohibiting prostitution, Raine said
the actual sex experience will
take place in Australia, where it is legal."
gribble: You rated user fluffypony on Mon Apr 14 15:08:15 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied
these additional notes: PPUSD for BTC. Smoooooth sailing..
punkman: how big is
the namecoin blockchain now?
danielpbarron: and cool, i'm going
to update my id/
to make it work on
that site
danielpbarron: why does everyone keep saying "give private key
to someone" << I never suggested doing
that!
pankkake: except I didn't have
to give my private key
to anyone
punkman: isn't
there one like keybase
that works on namecoin?
danielpbarron: that would be cool
too; i've been a fan of Namecoin for a while now
pankkake: if only namecoin didn't solve all
that already
danielpbarron: there could be more
than one WoT
twitter bot,
too (is
this getting close
to a decentralized WoT; just brainstorming here)
danielpbarron: it would help
to have a standard, whatever it is, so
that
the WoT
twitter bot could scan for
the verification
tweets for
the purpose of authing users
danielpbarron: lol so don't
trust keybase; you can still GPG sign a data object describing your association with a
twitter profile and
then calculate a hash of
that signature and
tweet it
danielpbarron: you don't have
to use keybase
to do what i'm suggesting
danielpbarron: has anyone in here ever floated
the idea of bringing
the WoT
to
twitter?
There is a way
to verify
that a GPG key is associated with a
twitter profile; #bitcoin-otc could be replaced with a
twitter hashtag
BingoBoingo: Maybe I haven't heard of
them because
there hasn't been a big fuss over "scam"
mike_c: pay
the money, few days later a dusty box shows up from china.
mike_c: yeah.
there are a few "companies" doing bitmain reselling in US.
that guy (112bit) has been doing it for awhile.
BingoBoingo: mike_c:
That... actually doesn't seem bad.
danielpbarron: rithm: i mostly read in here; my opinion barely matters at my stage in
the game
rithm: would it be
terrible if you couldn't get voiced in her danielpbarron
assbot: danielpbarron, you can't do
that
to rithm.
benkay: should be able
to purchase hashes on one of
the hash exchanges
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I'm not actually looking
to hash, but I am supposing if someone actually wanted hash... Who sells hash.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: how much hash you looking
to get?
assbot: rithm, you can't do
that
to danielpbarron.
BingoBoingo: I dun
think seems so is good enough for mining hardware.
BingoBoingo: I'm kind of wondering... Spz someone wanted
to buy an SHA-256 ASIC for AltCoin... Where
the fuck would
they even buy one?
ThickAsThieves: well we aint gonna change
the diff adjustment
time now
fluffypony: I'd argue
that Satoshi was optimistic in his difficulty adjustment
timeframe
fluffypony: how is adding a more rapid difficulty adjustment "completely" changing
the coin?
mike_c: yes, well, i'd rather pay a miner 0.2 btc
to let us down gently from
this difficulty bump instead of completely change
the coin.
ozbot: OpenSSH No Longer Has
To Depend On OpenSSL - Slashdot
fluffypony: so whilst doing
the whole "Bitcoin in disguise"
thing is humorous, if
the aim is
to prevent multipools or someone with a wack of hashing power abusing it (and
thus making it even more useless/pointless)
then
there are solutions
to
that
fluffypony: mike_c: which is fine when you have 57ph/s network wide, but when you have a significantly small distribution it's easy
to manipulat
mike_c: one of
the nice
things about altcoin is
that is bitcoin in disguise.
fluffypony: but
they prevent multipools from
taking advantage much
fluffypony: is
there a firm love for sha256 as an algo?
ThickAsThieves: i
think stan might be good at designing membership levels
ThickAsThieves: except we actually do stuff for
the health of
the coin n stuff
mike_c: i'd also like
to hear more from mircea_popescu if he
thinks
this is a bad idea.
mike_c: well, mining is a PITA. I would be interested
to know what it would cost
to get an option from some miners where
they would agree
to put some hashes on ATC when we want in
the amounts we want.
BingoBoingo: With only just under 6% mined, I dunno if advancing difficulty supposed price is
the right approach.
ThickAsThieves: but
that doesnt mean i wont donate
to someone else providing hash security for
the network
atcbot: [ATC Mined] ATC Mined (to date): 15575552
Total ATC (to be mined): 268435456 % Mined of
Total: 5.80
mod6: yeah, i can add
that
too.

mod6: on
the next restart, some of
those commands will be smaller: %last_block becomes %lb, etc.
mike_c: hands-off management might not be
the answer here :)
mod6: thestringpuller: and remember
there is always %help
mike_c: so having some
TH/s in your back pocket
to smooth out
these kind of bumps still seems like a good idea.
mike_c: and could result in
the same problem happenning again
mike_c: now
the only way
to attract would be
to make it profitable at
the new difficulty level, which is way
too high
mike_c: well, price support is nice. but it seems
that can lead
to what just happened.
that is, it gets profitable and so a huge flood of hash hits
the network, profit is
taken, and hash leaves.
