nubbins`: would you count getting people off heroin and into crack as a good
thing?
kakobrekla: allowing for
txes when 1mb limit is being hit for one but
thats where it ends
ThickAsThieves: would you count marginal success in
that as a good
thing?
ThickAsThieves: well if we go buy
the Altcoin's mission it's purpose is
to get everyone
to stop mining every other altcoin
nubbins`: but you can't say
that you're not intentionally fleecing rubes
nubbins`: sure, and you can offer perpetual mining
turds
that anyone with a brain would know is a bad purchase
nubbins`: just wanted
to offer a perspective
nubbins`: if you can justify it
to yourself,
there's not much i can do
to convince you otherwise
Duffer1: this argument is why i never made Hodorcoin, in
the end, someone was going
to lose money on it
mike_c: bah. and bitcoin is
to blame for assasinationmarket
nubbins`: intentions don't matter, what people do with
the
thing you've made does matter
nubbins`: dogecoin, you see people actually losing
things of value
nubbins`: bernankoin, you read
the spec and have a lel
nubbins`: i
think it's immoral
to sell a cardboard box painted up like a house
to a new family
nubbins`: mike_c,
there was a housing bubble? ;p
mike_c: nubbins`: do you
think it was immoral
to flip houses during
the housing bubble?
nubbins`: what if i just want
to stuff a cigarette with match heads
to see what happens?
Mats_cd03: so what was
the size of
the mpex whale fee
ThickAsThieves: what if
the other just wants
to do create
the
thing
to see what happens
nubbins`: duffer, it boils down
to
this, yes
TomServo: ThickAsThieves: You saying you don't own any and won't mine any doesn't preclude
that?
nubbins`: but
the funny
thing about intentions...
benkay: even if
there is a mining breakthrough,
the compute deployed against alts couldn't save bitcoin...
nubbins`: it's intended
to have a chuckle
nubbins`: let's be clear, your experiment isn't intended
to become a winner over bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: is it impossible an altcoin will become
the winner over bitcoin?
nubbins`: it's impossible for a rubecoin
to be healthy, yes
ThickAsThieves: and it's impossible
to have
two coins coexist and be healthy?
mike_c: there is a difference between selling real estate in florida
that is secretly swampland, and openly selling swamps.
nubbins`: if you're fine with rubes being fleeced,
then
there's no difference, no
nubbins`: one's real and
the other is for fleecing rubes,
that's what
ThickAsThieves: but really, what makes bitcoin better
than an altcoin other
than its adoption level?
nubbins`: mike_c:
the lel/scam is
the same
thing
nubbins`: alts have
two purposes:
to experiment with ideas and
to have a lel/run a scam
ThickAsThieves: in a world where
there can be any number of alts, all on same codebase, no one alt is better
than
the other
pankkake: well anyone printing it for more
than a few hours is a fool
mike_c: i guess nobody will lose money on bernankoin cuz you can always just print more
to keep people from losing money
nubbins`: you've decided
that
the guy selling apples w/ razors
to creepy old men is not at fault, because he's not
the one handing
them out
to kids?
pankkake: it's *impossible*
to premine anyway!
pankkake: mike_c:
there's no hate for bernankoin
benkay: also
the n-coin game will go forever
mike_c: yeah, where's
the hate for bernankoin? as long as he doesn't pump/dump, what's
the crime?
benkay: why would you change
the port number?
pankkake: lol,
the coinget coin I
took
the source from even has
the same port number
benkay: teach some firearm use, let
the idiots die.
benkay: yeah but
that's
the "kids are going
to hurt
themselves with guns" argument
nubbins`: i know it's a big lel, but you should kill
this before it grows legs
Duffer1: he's not wrong
there
TaT hehe
nubbins`: people are going
to
take it seriously and
they're going
to lose money
benkay: it'll be interesting
to see if clients built from
the regenerated source code will be able
to
talk
to clients in
the wild
ThickAsThieves: but i am willing
to pay
to get
this solved so i can
then pay
to have pools made or whaver
ThickAsThieves: yes, my comprehension of
the details you describe is pretty low
ThickAsThieves: and i am waiting on coingen
to make an identical one so we can reverse create source for
the orginal
benkay: if you had
the source for alt you could ack "magic" and find it pretty quickly
benkay: magic value is a part of a header sent between nodes. genesis block is
the root of
the merkle
tree.
benkay: a client being
the Satoshi implementation or bitcoinj or multibit w/e
ThickAsThieves: is
the same question as "do you have a dump of
the genesis block?"
benkay: in
this case network referring
to
the network of nodes broadcasting and verifying
transactions
benkay: ThickAsThieves:
the "magic value" is a header in
the protocol
that identifies which network a client is a part of
ThickAsThieves: i
think it has been between .00000300 and .00000100btc so far
nubbins`: so, anyone buying rentalstarter
tomorrow?
benkay: what's
the Altcoin magic value?
benkay: so basically it should be
trivial for anyone
to accept any altcoin

then, free nexus 5 go

The Verge

the press, but what do i know
