mircea_popescu: and
to be
told
that she's important, and valuable, and remarkable and all
the rest of
the shit women her age want
ozbot: Hey, stupid women ? We need
to
talk. Smart women don’t want
to be with you anymore. pe
Trilema - U
mircea_popescu: "A software engineer named Julie Ann Horvath sent shock waves across Silicon Valley over
the weekend" = "nobody gave a shit, so we'll just keep yakking about it"
benkay: what happened
to manners?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: No I'm
trying
to find
the link now, it's a really weird little paper
that nobody I mention it
to has heard of.
midnightmagic: where "enough" is smaller
than I ever expected it
to be
midnightmagic: There is a really neat paper
that asserts
that if you know "enough" about
the edges of a connected graph network and measure
the messages, you can map most messages sources.
mircea_popescu: this'd eminently be one of
those asciilifeform "parachute first pls" cases
mircea_popescu: the
theoretical possibility still exists, in a variety of very difficult
to model variants
midnightmagic: ^^ probably running more-connected nodes
than I am.
midnightmagic: bitcoinyeezus: I have heard of
them. I have never personally witnessed one happening.
midnightmagic: a bunch of us are
trying
to connect via non-internet connections
to at least measure any attempt at chosen-cut/isolation attacks.
lopp: that's
the direction I seem
to be headed :-)
bitcoinyeezus: lopp: sit down and figure it out. write it up, post it somewhere. contribute
to bitcoin nollij.
lopp: gotcha - I keep hearing
that it's
trivial but I guess I'd prefer
to see actual numbers regarding, say, how many SPV client requests
the average node is handling / how many historical block and
tx lookups it's handling, how many invalid
txs it's deciding not
to relay, etc
mircea_popescu: it's more in
terms of security, due
to various graph splitting attacks
that coudl conceivably be deployed
midnightmagic: there is virtually no load. i run an experimental node
that deals with a few dozen
transactions a day on an eeepc 701 just for fun.
lopp: that is, how much more volume of requests could
the average node be handling before it is straining its computational / bandwidth resources
bitcoinyeezus: mircea_popescu only knows
that by volume owned statistic because he's actually
the owner of
the 'satoshi hoard'.
lopp: as yeezus noted, we don't really know enough
to say whether or not
these numbers should be underwhelming. I'm of
the opinion
that we don't have enough insight into
the load
that
the nodes are bearing.
lopp: right, it's relatively underwhelming because it used
to report > 100,000 nodes
bitcoinyeezus: (just 'cause it has Satoshi in
the client string doesn't mean shit about
the authors)
artifexd: loop: At
the bottom of
that page " Bitnodes uses Bitcoin protocol version 70001 (i.e. >= /Satoshi:0.7.x/), so nodes with older protocol version will be skipped."
midnightmagic: apparently
two days
to wait
to renounce US citizenship was
too much for him, cause "they're after me." wtf.
midnightmagic twitches uncontrollably at mention of "bitcoin jesus" down in
the Caribbean complaining about how slow it is
to open a bank account as a recent import from
the US
bitcoinyeezus: well
then who can know what
the whelmingness of
that
thinger implies abouty reality anyways?
lopp: only
the really nerdy / early bitcoiners from my experience bother running full nodes
mircea_popescu: well for further mind blown, consider
there's no bitcoin jesus, either o.O
benkay: everyone calling
themselves a core dev has hacked on
the cpp hairball
that
turned into 0.7 and
then 0.8
hdbuck: what's with MP's statement on
twitter saying
there is no such
thing as Bitcoin core devs?! *mind blown 2*
bitcoinpete: benkay: I coulda sworn I went
through
that rigamarole once before… hopefully
this is
the last public flailing
benkay: if you want
to avoid flailing around in public, you can get down with gribble via pm, bitcoinpete
ThickAsThieves: but ripple never asked you
to relinquish your bitcoins
to use it
mircea_popescu: heh i guess
they covered it by calling it "digital currency"
mircea_popescu: wasn't ethereum more like a new ripple
than a new bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: no because
that is actually intended as a chump party.
ThickAsThieves: who is constantly
trying
to look smart while displaying stupidity?
mircea_popescu: too much describe, and also who are you
to make recommendations
to people running services ?
mircea_popescu: services
to describe at least superficially describe
their security policy
ThickAsThieves: just lookin for some insight on bitcoin, i'll leave
the wars
to
the media
ThickAsThieves: to me it seems
that hacking an addy would be even less probable
than how
this writer has approached it
mircea_popescu: "Some other questions: 1) how naked would you like
the models
to be?"
artifexd: At least in
the reference client.
artifexd: It is named in a comment. Variables don't contain
the name.
Dimsler: i dont'
think its actually named
artifexd: If you're asking about
the code,
then
the code keeps
track of amounts in satoshi. API's accept amounts in satoshi.
mircea_popescu: it should be pretty obvious what
the unit of account is.
Dimsler: satoshi as
th elowest denomination
Dimsler: denomiations of bitcoin are just
that
Dimsler: actually yes
that is backwards
mircea_popescu: the satoshi name is not documented, other
than
through ancient convention
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
the satoshi is quite clearly
the only unit of account, a "bitcoin" is just a courtesy style.
artifexd: There is reference
to "satoshi" as
the base element in
the reference client code. All
the code uses satoshi as
the amount of accounting.

ThickAsThieves: i prefer a response from someone i
think knows what;s up
ThickAsThieves: merely if someone asks What is
the unit of account in Bitcoin?
Dimsler: microtransactions of
that nature aren't possible
ThickAsThieves: is
there any argument
to say
they unit of account of Bitcoin is a bitcoin?
ThickAsThieves: wow, i didnt know
that
the owners of about 130,000 properties are without
their
title deeds in Cyprus
BingoBoingo: Oh, half an hour ago
there were still a 300k or so left.
mircea_popescu: someone should make an ipo of a
totally insane
thing and just keep posting wall of
text after wall of
text of completely rambling, nonsensically, perhaps machine-generated
text whenever someone says something
LordPutin: but we won crimea fair and square,
they even voted
to join us
mircea_popescu: didn't
they call a general mobilisation nobody showed ?
ozbot: Ukrainian government refuses
to remove
troops from Crimea, prepares for war
