nubbins`: mike_c, ah,
the
toilet?
that's okay,
then
benkay: not hardly. it's more along
the lines of "seeing clearly in
the fog is difficult", nubbins`. not "everything is foggy so fuck it".
mike_c: but he
threw his butt in
the
toilet. it was announced on btctalk.
nubbins`: benkay,
that's about
two steps from "what IS reality?"
benkay: there is only noise in
the universe. moments of signal are rare and unusual and vanish rapidly.
thermodynamics at work.
mike_c: this is like imagining
that
the btctalk retardation will hurt bitcoin.
nubbins`: "fuck
the signal, here's some more noise"
nubbins`: "so what if we're helping
turn cryptocurrency into a digital liberia"
benkay: but "good money drives out bad", asciilifeform. every local government can print
their own fiat, demand
taxes in
their own shitcoin, and all of
the wealth will stay in bitcoin.

TO SHIT BEACH
nubbins`: you've got
that part right, at least
nubbins`: fuck everything, it's
the road's fault for being
there
mike_c: yes, we can.
the world has not yet crumbled from
tossed cig butts.
nubbins`: mike_c: yeah, who cares! we can do
this forever!
pankkake: fucking fuck, now it connects, but every block is an orphan
to it…
mike_c: i like
that analogy. so
TaT
threw a cig butt on
the ground. who cares?
Duffer1: #maxcoin mining and buying panic is building... all system look good
to go. @maxcoinproject
ThickAsThieves: I
think you have limited
the possible futures
too much
mike_c: i
think you are vastly overestimating public knowledge of even
the existence of altcoins
pankkake: in
the end most of
the feature is calling gpgv
pankkake: it's wasn't really about working, but I didn't want
to add a dependency for nothing
mike_c: pankkake: curious what you were
trying
to do
that was not working with
the python gpg lib?
benkay: asciilifeform: would you elaborate on how cranking out altcoins will do *anything*
to bitcoin?
pankkake: in
the end, for what I wanted
to do, I ended up calling gpg directly
ThickAsThieves: so enabling
the more efficient creation of Altcoins is moral, but making one is not
pankkake: I doubt
the performance issues of pympex are in
the Python code ;)
nubbins`: PMTs = "a better" way
to invest?
jurov: pankkake: rewrite pympex (but dunno if
there's portable gpg C library)
ThickAsThieves: and what of
this grand plan
to make a better coingen.io?
mike_c: pankkake:
take something slow in one of your python programs and write a C module for it
nubbins`: what he's saying is piss in
the fucking
toilet
pankkake: I need
to find something interesting
to write in C
pankkake: thanks,
this is also what I found :)
ThickAsThieves: no, you are
trying
to say pissing shouldnt happen at all
pankkake: does anyone here know basic C? how do I print, say, 0x0b? I want it
to be 0x0b on
the screen, or similar
Duffer1: getting from here
to
there would probably be very interesting
though
Duffer1: i believe
that is
the likely outcome as well ascii
Duffer1: paging mircea_popescu , mircea_popescu
to
the desk please
mike_c: imagine a grid with 100
tiny squares and 1 enormous square. Add as many
tiny squares as you want,
the Schelling point remains.
Duffer1: lets put aside
the moralizing and focus on
the likely outcome of
the experiment
ThickAsThieves: altcoins are seeking
their place, itll always be dynamic, but
they will have a place
pankkake: it's pchMessageStart, but I'm not sure how
to reverse-engineer it
ThickAsThieves: there will be wealth in more coins
than bitcoin, for as long as
this paradigm can even exist
mike_c: that's not
trouble if he's not
trying
to harvest chumps
TomServo: TomServo |
ThickAsThieves: is it a "preformance piece" or "maybe a viable altcoin, we'll see"?
nubbins`: you're
trying
to rationalize your lelcoin right now, in
this conversation
denlove: I wish I had someone send bitcoin
to please. 16ZdMuyrVuuupSjVZyPmBWwjHsbcweKGUk
ThickAsThieves: you are saying
the NEED is required for value
to exist
nubbins`: just
that
there's
the potential for learning, growth, new
thought processes, etc
nubbins`: nobody's saying you NEED
to
test new concepts
ThickAsThieves: again i
think
this is a false assumption as well, alts needing new concepts
nubbins`: but a big machine
that spits out slightly
tweaked alts isn't
nubbins`: altcoins are a great way
to
test out new concepts
ThickAsThieves: the problem is you are making assumptions
that are false
mike_c: if you accept
the axiom
that any coin besides bitcoin has no value.
nubbins`: sure it is,
they're
trading one
terrible choice for another
