mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
the essence is, some people have a fundamental but unspoken disagreement with
the basic premise behind mining. <<< exactly.
pankkake: I remember when deepbit was
the big bad
BingoBoingo: moiety: How about heads or
tails (knowing I'd prefer black)
mircea_popescu: derp. wasn't it btcguild
that had 40%ish back in feb 2013 ?
mircea_popescu: "Now
that Bitcoin computational power is handled almost entirely by large data centers,
the currency has rapidly changed from a distributed, decentralized currency,
to one
that is much more centralized and vulnerable. Companies such as Cex.io are routinely hitting 40% PoW computational power on a daily basis, and will soon be able
to perform 51% attacks at will, if
they so choose."
pankkake: it's actually worse, being asic proof makes you vulnerable
to botnets, supercomputers, clouds, anything you can rent for CHEAP
herbijudlestoids: its like being proud
that any small actor with $5million can destroy your coin
herbijudlestoids: i really dont understand what everyone seems
to
think
the value of ASIC proofing a network is
BingoBoingo: moiety: Fuck it, I'm drunk. Not lose
to namworld drunk, but kind of drunk.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: can you play me and moiety in a simul or how do we split
this demand?
moiety: play me
then BingoBoingo
moiety: has anyone
tried chess 2?
BingoBoingo: moiety: BSD isn't
too different. If you
take
that route O'Reilley has a minature verion of
their sysadmin essentials book which would be valuable.
moiety: c'mon you just gave me
the way
to
two, lets not blow
them up mircea_popescu
moiety: check me oot with ma
two wee cmds!
BingoBoingo: moiety: If
that is
the case just skip linux and go
to a BSD or Gentoo
moiety: and i
tried
to get bitchx
to work
talking of irc but really failed with
that.
moiety: i am still at
the same position as
that day BingoBoingo. I can still see
the linux CDs on
top of my pc. I just never used
them yet
mike_c: benkay: yes, i just don't
think a reference implementation counts as well defined. so
TCP_KEEPALIVE is set
to 100. why? was
that picked intellignetly, randomly, or it doesn't really fking matter? you don't know from implementation.
BingoBoingo: moiety: I feel lied
to. You
told me months ago you were linuxing. Back when you adopted smuxi as your IRC client
moiety: no, never got
to linuxing
moiety: omg you can get multiple cmds? i love
this
thing more every day
moiety: you know I'm still mining my vanitygen and it's at 96.7%... can i still use my cmd window for something else while it's doing
that? (sorry i know it's probably glaringly obvious)
coingenuity: BingoBoingo: mexico is all fucked up, libertads are a pain
to get
benkay: mike_c: using and extending
the protocol is a non-starter right now. first we need a rock-solid, well-defined
thing.
mike_c: herbijudlestoids: go find sturles. he sells small amounts of btc
to help people establish wot.
BingoBoingo: coingenuity: Can you get a quote on 10 oz libertads
to retile my bathroom yet?>
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: ok is
there some minimum youd consider? i have more but in immature blocks. willing
to wait
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
This offer isn't for you
then. I wrote it for
the Dogers.
KRS-One: I could put my dick out
there and gt a few bucks for it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There'a actually barely anything on
the book preventing 10,000 satoshis as well
though
KRS-One: of course becase
there isnt any demand or volume
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There is barely anything stoping 645 from happening
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You forget
the part where you could buy
the ATC
BingoBoingo: After
the
time it
takes
to withdraw 27500 ATC from Openex I'd be willing
to sell it for
the same 645 satoshi bid I have nao.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids listen, a 5k satoshi
tx is like... impossible
to even propagate.
mike_c: s.nsa went cheap
today. somebody got a great deal.
herbijudlestoids: so
the answer is no. nobody is willing
to purchase a small amount of ATC off me for
the purpose of establishing my
trust on WoT
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't
think anyone on
this channel was a virgin
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: and how
the f am i supposed
to sell other shit on -otc without a WoT rating?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he's not a virgin, so
there's
the end of
that.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
Then maybe
trade something other
than an altcoin?
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: wut? all i am
trying
to do is establish some WoT creds
mike_c: benkay: yes, i was just saying it is insufficient. it describes
the process, but does not help you extend it or use it because you don't know any of
the rationale. we worked
the point over pretty good about an hour ago :)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: No, we are discussing constraints of
the system.
BingoBoingo: benkay: You ever play chess. I
think you could beat me soundly
herbijudlestoids: ok...whatever...ill
take
the ask, i dont really care about
the price
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: And we are
talking pricing. Unless you do like
the candy shop and package
the atc with a
teddy bear,
there is no room for a premium
to be demanded.
benkay: mike_c: are you satisfied with <asciilifeform>
the only
truly unambiguous definition of a computation is
the
BingoBoingo: ATC hasn't
traded at
the midpoint on Openex
though. It has
traded at
the asks
herbijudlestoids: not really looking for anything except as a mechanism
to get into WoT usefully
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I might be willing
to sell ATC at
the right price, but my drunk ass isn't buying.
mircea_popescu: it's wonderbread. i wouldn't use it and i don't agree it's bread. you could say
this is me being elitist, you could devise some
tests of breadess wonderbread passes
herbijudlestoids: would any of you sirs be interested in purchasing a small amount of ATC off me, for
the sole purpose of increasing my WoT rating from 0?
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: im not hacking into your wallet because i feel drained and empty whenever i hear it
talk?
herbijudlestoids: i have a friend who may be interested, he loves
teh chezz, online etc...dunno about
text based but i assume he would be into it
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids for
the same reason you're not fucking all
the floozies in your
town right now.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: How about pick head or
tails?
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: sorry dude i am just recovering from some illness and about
to go full pelt into a bunch of work related
things as we are growing rapidly now...you want someone with more free
time :)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I just hate games like when
truffles annoyed me into playing him while I was sober.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: No. You just said you play poorly so
taking you at face value I want
to know if you have a stronger color, which might make
the game more interesting.
pankkake: herbijudlestoids:
that seems like a
typical BingoBoingo
trick yes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Davout is also been asking if he can get a late entry into
the round robin.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: not particularly...is
this one of
those
trick questions where you psychologically evluate my expertise as a player with a simple one liner?
BingoBoingo: Twas on
the night I almost finished a handle of Vodka
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: As far as
the
tournament you spec'd goes my only credited loss is
to namworld.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: not sure i understand still, possibly retard serum levels still
too high, but if its not secure or whatever, how come im not haxing into your walletz right now
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: so
the bitcoind/bitcoin-qt implementation cannot be used for its intended purpose of sending/receiving/storing bitcoin blockchain whatevers
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo has been looking for someone
to beat ever since
truffles ran off
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Do you know Algebraic notation well enough
to play in
text?
herbijudlestoids: from a development perspective? as in unusable
to modify/update
the code?
