tell mike_c i guess
the appropriate local metaphor would be "for

tell mike_c sometimes i
think supply is constrained on
the fiat -> btc pipe. if cash and reputation and connections are all you have,
that's not a
terribly wide pipe. perhaps
there was something
to gox' occasional ability
to
turn fiat wires into btc
benkay: tell me
that ain't a slide

Shakespeare: facebook lols: I made a post briefing normals on heartbleed and
the general concept
that internet privacy doesnt really exist. Here's
the best response so far: "Is Lifelock an answer?"
benkay: there were serious distortions in
the market over
the past year
mike_c: see, i
told you it wasn't an input ;)
TestingUnoDosTre: wait a
tick.
The last block reward halving was November 28, 2012. DOH
Shakespeare: "This episode of CSI is so (adjective I forgot),
the only way
to experience it is

Mats_cd03: i wonder what
the benefits are like
TestingUnoDosTre: jborkl, what was your point. I didn't understand - what was bugpowder
talking about?
jborkl: He was not good at
that
jborkl: And if mtgox inflated
the supply of coins so
the price should have been depressed
jborkl: That is
to what he is referring
jborkl: Bugpowder was a excellent
trader
TestingUnoDosTre: His example is slightly hogwash, as mtcox falsely increased
the supply of bitcoins, and
the price still increased.
mike_c: benkay: it is fine
to say it is an input. but i am saying it is a miniscule part of
the equation.

benkay: mike_c: have you ever done
the physics
thing where you draw a circle around a system and label ins and outs?
mike_c: for instance, mp has a bunch of coins.
they are not supply because
they are not for sale.
benkay: which is
the whole damn point
benkay: its
the only way you can make
the
thing conserve
benkay: supply is input into
the system
mike_c: it's not static. supply is not how many btc
there are, it's how many are for sale.
benkay: we know how many btc
there will be per block
jborkl: We know how many btc
there will be next year
benkay: only valid frame of reference,
TestingUnoDosTre
mike_c: (not butthurt). but
the system being discussed is supply on
the exchanges. which is not equal
to freshly mined coins. many other factors.
benkay: sorry
that was rude of me, mike_c
benkay: the only constant input in
the system is
the mining reward
TestingUnoDosTre: if you're
talking about mined BTC,
that supply definitely dropped
benkay: supply is
that which is constant!
benkay: when was
the last halvening?
TestingUnoDosTre: what are your
thoughts on
the price spike of btc so close
to
the block reward halving?
mike_c: i butthurt gribble. <gribble> You've given me 12 commands within
the last minute; I'm now ignoring you for 5 minutes.

decimation: mircea_popescu: "kalophilos, exists as such in german" << I see what you did
there
thestringpuller: i was just lol'ing cause i've
talked about otr unrelated
to
this channel
today; so lol'ing at
the coincidence
dignork: Sammey, printf("We're all going
to die\n");
dignork: jurov, i have otr in weechat, want
to
try crushing it? just curious.
jurov: so i'm not going
to
trust
that one,
too :)
jurov: oh and original znc-otr succeeded
to crash weechat's otr
dignork has a hude monitor, one window is
too depressing
jurov: so i don't have
to stick
to one client
dignork: jurov,
try weechat, no stick/unstick madness, and otr works
too
jurov: and i was also "lucky"
to run into 6yr old bugs with otr
jurov: not sure if
the window management can be configured
to get at least halfway
to my mental model
jurov uses Konversation.
tried irssi but it was a pain
mod6: got my
teef drilled. ugh.
mod6: lol
thestringpuller
dignork: mod6, weechat blocks it
too
mod6: CTRL+K
to paste spam
mod6: irssi does ask, on
the other hand.
mod6: one
thing
that i seem
to remember
that I didn't like (many many moons ago) about xchat is
that if you derp-paste a bunch of stuff into
the wrong window, it doens't ask you if you're sure you'd like
to do spammy paste.
phf: benkay:
the only client
there is
dignork: are
there any other words
that assbot is excited about?
mod6: ive used my screen+irssi via connectbot on my phone a bunch. works for reading stuff, but not so great for conversing. better
to just read
the log instead.
pankkake: if you're a heavy irc user,
then irssi certainly isn't a hassle
Mats_cd03: yes, i find using
terminal on my phone
tedious
Duffer1: but i don't irc anywhere other
than my desktop anyways
though
mod6: yeah, its nice
to get a client running on a *nix host, if for no other reason, you can run it in a screen session and
then attach/detach
pankkake: xchat is probably
the easiest
to start with
Duffer1: i'm
tired of browser IRC,
time
to get a real program
mod6: used
to use BitchX like 15 years ago or more. finally, after years of people
telling me about irssi, switched.
Azelphur: for
those not in
the know, if he had
that running since November, he'd have made about $20k worth of BTC.
Azelphur: I still can't believe
that just happened
Azelphur: turns out he had a BFL SC Single, sitting in
the box doing nothing...since November
Azelphur: In other news, I met some guy
today locally because he wants
to set up a bitcoin meetup in my area, he's not very
techy just interested in coin, he casually mentioned
to me he bought a BFL miner and
that he plugged
the supply into UK mains and blew it and asked if I could help, went and
took a look...
Duffer1: thanks i'll check
them out
pankkake: irssi, planning
to go weechat one day
Azelphur: TIME
TO MAKE EVERYONE HATE ME. Pidgin.
pankkake: but I suppose
the electrum servers rely on bitcoind
dignork: pankkake,
there is pretty usefull SPV electrum client, no bitcoind marriage
mike_c: if no 'virtual forks' for a year,
then presto. new reference client.
mike_c: and it doesn't seem hard
to process
those yourself, and
then see if your code would have done
the same
thing.
pankkake: so bitcoind isn't used for much except read blocks and push
txs
mike_c: lots of in-the-wild use, meaning lots of
test cases
