mircea_popescu: late 0s no.
mircea_popescu: leading 0s yes.
mircea_popescu: that "abstract art" work we shall call the colors of factorial.
mircea_popescu: lettuce create a bitmap image 1024px wide, 32 bit color depth, so that each factorial is followed by a white line, and each pixel from left to right contains 3 bytes of data.
mircea_popescu: actually, let's save on teh upload and tell you the plan :

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-31#1257062 etc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no, it's a versioning system
mircea_popescu: !!up daffadil
mircea_popescu: if you ever make fallout-alf...

mircea_popescu: !!up Floog
mircea_popescu: impotence is teh least racist of all!
mircea_popescu: well jhvh1 look into the official coindash slack channel then
mircea_popescu: !~calc 0*75 = 0*70
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is actually true in their case.
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: outbrain eagerly awaits the brainchild of mit, or, to quote, "She does stink. And she should quit. But I don't want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route. Years of rejection and failure until she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry."
mircea_popescu: next step on ethereum's fascinating journey being "the one weird trick hacker used to make 74 trillion"
mircea_popescu: still wheelin' an' dealin' teh blockchain seas ?
mircea_popescu: how's "the toomim brothers" doing these days ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and if it doesn't work, it'll just be case #517 or whatever the count is at of self important ustard dorks.
mircea_popescu: so let them. if it works we needed a new bitcoin anyway.
mircea_popescu: bitmain can either make bitcoin miners or not make bitcoin miners. this isn't evben a choice -- for as long as they can they'll make, and once they become irrelevant they won't make. whether they also whine with it or not... who cares.
mircea_popescu: user705 so ?
mircea_popescu: and not because it would be racist to try ; but because they are impotent.
mircea_popescu: but they, both joint and several, can't possibly influence the world.
mircea_popescu: jane reddit may care, or at the least pretend to care what bitcoin client joe reddit uses, in obvious exchange of joe reddit pretending to care about "that one time she was almost raped".
mircea_popescu: but at any event -- i do not care what bitcoin client joe reddit "uses". he has no money in the first place ; and even if he had money he has nothing interesting to do with them. sloshing the payola back and forth from one usg pocket to another is scarcely worth wasting paper, let alone bitcoin ledger.
mircea_popescu: mahahahaybe a few of them will actually manage to find a job instead of dicking around online, but it seems unlikely. who wants to employ an idle ustard and what useful could they do ?
mircea_popescu: ie, path of least resistance.
mircea_popescu: in preference of saying "i was a fucktard and i shall not be a fucktard any longer".
mircea_popescu: far as i can tell, people who can't retain employment will whine about it for the next two weeks as if it were a thing, then the date will come, nothing whatsoewver will happebn, and they'll just move on to whining about some other pie in the sky
mircea_popescu: i thought wediditreddit was ~weekly eveny anyway, in their own little cesspool.
mircea_popescu: ~nothing observable will happen.
mircea_popescu: so, ample opportunity for the entrepreneurial -- start a pool that's not a scam, if all others are, or you perceive they might be.
mircea_popescu: if you use a pool.
mircea_popescu: at least afaik they've not yet built up the cheek to pretend to change that part.
mircea_popescu: a block will still pay what it pays now.
mircea_popescu: do you mean, coinbase as in mining rewards ?
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what you're asking. if i send a bitcoin to someone, no third party can do anything to it.
mircea_popescu: well, "social media". usg's astroturf for its own sheeple. much like you know, the notion that "embargo of russia" or "recapture of mosul -- two weeks starting in 2016", the sort of ideas with no further substance than "i really watch too much tv"
mircea_popescu: the notion that 1 august bears any relevancy is entirely borne out of spending too much time on social media.
mircea_popescu: user705 you would mine then as you mine now. if you're pool mining, select a pool that isn't scamming you then , just as you would now.
mircea_popescu: !!up user705
mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: all soft forks are temporary ; and WILL be unwound.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the paradigmatic "soft fork" is "we will not mine transactions involving 1Terrorists address". permitting any other one is simply going towards this at whatever pace and from whatever distance.
mircea_popescu: they did.
mircea_popescu: sanity apparently doesn't hold up well to insistent stupidity.
mircea_popescu: kinda why the entire fake media exists in the first place.
mircea_popescu suspected as much
mircea_popescu: just the periodic herd wank on turner's captive cow sites.
mircea_popescu: nor has the matter been seriously considered by actual thinkers.
mircea_popescu: not a half bad idea at that.
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: inexplicably, as the dorks made a lot of noise about it then and have studiously pretended to have forgotten all about it ever since, as if that's how this works now.
mircea_popescu: no fork will succeed that does not satisfy that.
mircea_popescu: let's approach the easier end of this. the necessary precondition for any fork succieeding on the bitcoin network was set forth last year : http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you'll have to unwrap that into something that makes sense. say what ?
mircea_popescu: just ask
mircea_popescu: im generally here.
mircea_popescu: !!up user705
mircea_popescu: consider though, how easily it flips on its head. mp recommends blogging, which was fashionable like cameraing was at some point, but no longer. and "you can't film everything stays the same", and "but the noise is distracting" morphs into "but i am afraid my well hidden shortcvomings which nobody can otherwise observe may be exposed" and who's teh anticultural nao.
mircea_popescu: it is STILL the fundamental anticultural agency.
