<bounce> that hungarian "internet tax", 150 forints / gigabyte (or part thereof). that's .49 euro / gigabyte.
<<< it's al ulzfest. the gb costs about 1 cent or so atm.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> my mental concept of freedom is more or less synonymous with never setting an alarm clock again.
<< ha! not even for say, a comet ?

<sgornick> Re: Qntra.net, I registered @Qntra on Twitter before some griefer /squatter did. Then put a Twitterfeed to push tweets from the RSS feed. When you want the twitter acct, let me know what e-mail to assign it to. It can't be an e-mail already used for any other twitter account.
cazalla: bounce: ;;seen mistere
<<< after #b-a went +m, he said he was leaving
thickasthieves:
<+kakobrekla> blockstream has nice logo -- not bad, i'd have gone for less segments in the icon
kakobrekla: .0.0... retarded
<< very much
<< yes it does look like retarded emoticon
thickasthieves:
<+asciilifeform> ditch the fractional versions. 1, 2, 3, infinity. natural numbers. /// yeah, see
thickasthieves:
<+mike_c> hey thickasthieves, wake up and back me up. this things needs different branding. /// well i think the whole .0.0 whatever shit is retarded
mike_c:
<+undata> in that there will always be ways to break things, and always a need for fixes
<< yeah.. one way to break things is to add "fixes"
mod6:
<+nubbins`> do the java thing and call it Bitcoin 6
<< haha
cazalla: bounce wishes the politicians would show some spine here. take their local passport, wave goodbye, declare them europe-wide persona non grata for all eternity. problem solved.
<<< they sorta did that here but cancelled the passports so that they couldn't leave australia and not after
cazalla: mircea_popescu: cazalla by the way, intel sez that the reason you've not heard from sgornick nor will you is that the guy meanwhile figured out i'm involved, and doesn't like me either because i said nigger or cunt at some point in the past.
<<< what a fucking cunt
mircea_popescu: But it's not all bad news for Berkshire. Investors are sticking with their icon. Berkshire stock climbed slightly on Monday and Tuesday, and is up more than 17% this year -- far outpacing the broader market.
<<< consider this lulz.
mircea_popescu: assbot: NOT OK GOOGLE: Android images can conceal code The Register
<< steganography strikes again. hard as shit to filter.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> 'you lamer, betcha own x86 boxes and like it, trololol'
<< pete got a bunch of that on his software doesn't fail recent thing too
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> how to do signed commits
<< the barbarian way. everyone who read a patch file (yes) and is willing to sign under it, signs. this gets posted. whoever wants, can apply the patches to get a merged turdball.
<< i think this is exactly how it should go.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
<mod6>
<+ben_vulpes> i've never written a charter, are there good examples out there?
<< me either, but we can work on it. no sweat.
<< you've read plenty of mpex contracts, good enough. keep it direct, plain and simp,le.
mod6:
<+ben_vulpes> i've never written a charter, are there good examples out there?
<< me either, but we can work on it. no sweat.
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes mod6 so draft a charter, then we can bitch at it.
<< okay :)
mircea_popescu:
<bounce> the bitcoin source is actually reasonably portable and doesn't depend on "helpful" stuff like cmake
<< also true.
mircea_popescu:
<jurov> you have to feed it a blockchain to avoid endless waiting?
<< not like we can't keep an official copy for bootstrapping, or else people who have the patience can just make their own
mircea_popescu:
<BingoBoingo> qemu is available just about anywhere
<< this is true.
mircea_popescu:
<bounce> oh, and deceptive. recall that shop that relied on its "accounting" features, then found out the hard way they're useless for keeping track of accounts?
<< yeah and definitely must fix, but that'll be hard to do on the first pass. an excellent thing to do for first revision tho, take out "labels" implement accounts correctly (or merge coin control in, either way)
mircea_popescu:
<jurov> and if without gui, then it should work fine on cygwin, no?
<< probably.
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> let others extend. i don't want gpg to incorporate curl libs so it can automatically grab otps from gribs
<< EXACTLY. do one thing, do it well.
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> i don't think gui should be a priority, at all.
<< prolly not. if they kill the qt branch it would be no loss anyway
mod6:
<+othernubs`> mod6 ben_vulpes put this book thing to rest once and for all; merge useful changes from 0.6.3 into 0.5.3 and call that your baseline
<< agreed.

<MisterE> Deer Hunter was masterpiece
othernubs`: mircea_popescu> draft a charter, then it gets gpg signed and that's it ? i'd donate
<<< me too
mircea_popescu: "339,192 US rank. This site reaches over 858 monthly people"
<< holy shit, it's not fucking possible that 1k people reading you on a monthly basis puts you in the top 300k sites on the internets.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: anthony di iorio, very memorably (because i've never seen this before), replied to my gpg-gram... in plaintext. and it included my original email. in plaintext.
<<< ahahahh.this is like, what, built from the ground up with derpidity in mind ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: On a side note, I've noticed Roger Ver's bitcoinstore is not...around anymore?
<< well it wasn't really making all that much.
Apocalyptic:
<mircea_popescu> sooo.... why military bases then ? // didn't get that either
mircea_popescu:
<othernubs`> all canadian forces bases closed to public access nationwide
<< russians finally invading ?
mircea_popescu:
<othernubs`> so how long are we gonna diddle around here before one of us forks 0.5.3 and starts selectively patching?
<< not long.
mod6:
<+ben_vulpes> othernubs`: i'm not even sold on importprivkey
<< how would you do this otherwise?
othernubs`: cazalla:thestringpuller: "He's Canadian"
<< lol, the canadians brought us Degrassi and indie rock!
<<< fkn degrassi, to this day i remember claude offing himself in the toilets, i think i was like 10 or 12 and what is this
<<< my sides / my youth

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: this suggests a novel attack vector: depress price strategically to drive miners out,
<<< except miners don't go in and out with the price. the market is amortisation driven, they have the gear and have to use it, so they'll use it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: it's completely wild to see how much the bitcoin network hashrate fluctuates.
<< you understand those aren't directly measured, but more like calculated after the fact ? it's normal variance, you're trying to guess how many times a coin is tossed by how many heads you see. well...
☟︎ thickasthieves:
<+mircea_popescu> being a miner is notoriously a "nobody's business" type of affair. there's nothing to be gained really. /// well, what if we picture the future 10 years out? are representatives of large hash more communicative? or is there 'political' position on bitcoin technicals more known?
thickasthieves:
<+othernubs`> let's get some big miners to give up their secret sauce /// yknow a survey of large miners' and pools' sentiment on state of bitcoin dev, what versions they use, etc would be a great qntra article

<pigeons> so far that seems accurate
pete_dushenski: "The FBI director James Comey's bid to have Congress kibosh default encryption appears to have publicly failed after senators said the proposal would be rejected."
<< uhuh
