kakobrekla: irc lol is that even still a thing?
mircea_popescu: you gotta ? really ? how about the press and all that learns to irc instead. not like bitcoin is here to _adapt_ to anything now is it.
mircea_popescu: kinda shocking how stupid this character is, seriously.
mircea_popescu: "If you come out as the leader of Bitcoin, now you have to make appearances and presentations and comments to the press and that didn't really fit with Satoshi's personality,"

mircea_popescu: From that moment, Satoshi Nakamoto stopped responding to emails and dropped off the map.
mircea_popescu: rthrow the System."
mircea_popescu: Then he told Nakamoto he'd accepted an invitation to speak at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters. "I hope that by talking directly to them and, more importantly, listening to their questions/concerns, they will think of Bitcoin the way I do - as a just-plain-better, more efficient, less-subject-to-political-whims money," he said. "Not as an all-powerful black-market tool that will be used by anarchists to ove

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that https://static.pinboard.in/webstock_2014.htm is at least fucking ideologically bizarre. they represent electrification as this obscure political strategy move, when it's quite obvious the thing proceeded on economic rationale.
gribble: chaang-noi was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 25 minutes, and 40 seconds ago: <Chaang-Noi> might have to sue em
mircea_popescu: moustakis tried to finesse it out of the testimony, and absent any sort of competent defese it will probably wash away just fine
mircea_popescu: anyway, the one - pretty much the only one - barb for the sec in the pirate story is that indeed the facts seem to support pirate's allegation that he actually paid out the newest investors first.
ozbot: Is Bitstamp going the same way as Gox?
ozbot: As a European this is how I imagine Americans have breakfast - Imgur
kakobrekla: only until the end of the universe :\
mircea_popescu: actually correct quote : “The BTC is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts".
kakobrekla: probably the next too
kakobrekla: i bet we will see him on 'major' tv stations this year
mircea_popescu: btc, tits. btc is the only thing that matters, the only thing that lasts. tara!
kakobrekla: isnt taaki still herp derping around, why are you talking like he is history, i mean he might be, but he doesnt know that
gribble: You rated user Vandroiy on Sat Sep 1 23:00:35 2012, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: Risked 5k of his own bitcoins to help a bunch of forum retards see the light..
mircea_popescu: that's all it's there for. costs the rest of us a prett ypenny, too
reeses_: since they hold the coins, too
mircea_popescu: basically the da exists to make the stupid introspect
mircea_popescu: i guess that's why the sec claiming the current price is a good thing
reeses_: ok I'm sure he is doing that now
mircea_popescu: otherwise it'd be all "o fuck me, 160k for 80k btc ? i did that ? srsly ? "
mircea_popescu: i guess this is true. what a blessing it is, then.
Diablo-D3: I remember taaki
reeses_: it's tough
reeses_: the mentally impaired generally lack the ability for introspection
mircea_popescu: and then sorta... fell off.
mircea_popescu: like shavers, like taaki, like maxwell, like you know, the lengthy list of idiots that were "involved" early on
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: look in the mirror! dohohohohoho
reeses_: I mean, sure, that's real money in shitholes like texas and romania
mircea_popescu: i fucking wonder, you know, what the thought process of the mentally impaired is.
reeses_: what a sad amount, though :-)
reeses_: mircea_popescu: it just means his average spread was $2, which was ok at the time :-)
Diablo-D3: has the ukraine nuked russia yet?
kakobrekla: in the sense any other orphan would be an evil block to bc.info at the time
mircea_popescu: so was this an evil block in some sense ?
kakobrekla: 2 blocks on the network
dexX7: but there was only one block in the network and two on blockchain.info due to the fail, right?
mircea_popescu: same blockheight, same hash, diff txn set ?
kakobrekla: nothing to the story, move along.
kakobrekla: they had a fail and had to manually fix it thats why its not in the standard orphaned blocks page
chetty: just Theymos I think
mircea_popescu: fucking bs impossible to grep
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did it actually say "Michael Marquardt" or theymos or what ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla which is why i say let cary explain it, how the fuck would we know.
kakobrekla: not necessarily, you dont know what the bug was
mircea_popescu: if you go "block 200344, here's the hash (from block 200344') and here's the txn, from block 200344" you got a problem
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that if they had an orphan it would show its own hash and root, not the correct block's.
kakobrekla: i havent checked anything but whats the problem
mircea_popescu: so far, the "orphan" theory has a prblm.
kakobrekla: afaik the txes listed there were from an orphan
dexX7: maybe blockchain receives the complete blocks from it's backend in some way and had a small blackout while post-processing and adding the txs to their db ... well, who knows. they seem to be aware though.
mircea_popescu: re smickles : fwiw i knew he wasn't in vegas too.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: thats what you get when retarded webdevs make exchanges, for the seventy fifth time << mpoe-pr sez https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=290799.msg4924847#msg4924847 but retards know better. as per usual.
mircea_popescu: (i don't keep much of an eye on blockchain.info since there exists blockr)
mircea_popescu: well then i suppose you'd better blog about it, or post or somthing.
dexX7: the hash and merkleroot was the same
mircea_popescu: cause if it did not then the orphan theory is blown.
mircea_popescu: but yes, said block would have to have its own hash
mircea_popescu: this would necessarily result in them listing a different set of txns from the actual set as found on the actual chain
mircea_popescu: if a service like blockchain.info goes down (ie, stops listening to the chain) it may end up with the impression a meanwhile discarded block is still valid
mircea_popescu: dexX7 the logic here is as follows :
dexX7: and everything was correct except the number of transactions + the missing ones were indeed not listed
dexX7: there is this overview for example: https://blockchain.info/block-index/472689/000000000000000020cc76f78a24a6bc1c6d55e5514ee9b900ba08b3f97bc4a6
mircea_popescu: you mean the hash of the block as reported then matches the hash as reported now ?!
kakobrekla: except if this is a different thing.
kakobrekla: well i dunno, thats the word i got and i dont think its made up
dexX7: well, good then that it's known
mircea_popescu: ok than
dexX7: oh really? but the blockhash etc. was correct?
kakobrekla: and that happend.
kakobrekla: cause they were doing upgrades
kakobrekla: they had an orphan in the list instead of the real block
mircea_popescu: this does not look toogood.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 i wonder wtf is happening there re missing txns
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: big one and number two.. anyone taking bets one of those was goat? << yes. how much you wanna bet ?
