asciilifeform: wasn't irc sync phased out then ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: don't confuse this item with phil z's pgp book
Apocalyptic: oh that I didn't know
othernubs`: can't go copying keys between machines
asciilifeform surprised how much interest from folks who aren't him
mircea_popescu: usgavin can make usbitcoin, or they can have gavin & mike's extra special bitcoin-identical flavouring "i can't believe it's not blockchain"
decimation: yeah it wasn't cheap
mod6: i can't believe that pinwheel said he was still gonna hard-fork in the AMA (thx for readers digest qntra) even after this: http://trilema.com/2014/usgavin-the-lolcow/ | I suspect that he reads trilema too. lollerskates.
decimation: 65 pound paper is pretty heavy isn't it?
asciilifeform doesn't buy even half of mr. bush & co.'s fairy tale either.
decimation: don't tell me orlov is a 'truther'
ben_vulpes: my 0.5.3 node hasn't barfed yet
decimation: that's a good question, and should be answerable. Don't the clients identify with a string?
decimation: ben_vulpes: I donno, I haven't looked into that in detail
asciilifeform doesn't recall seeing it, possibly he never bothered publishing
TheNewDeal: ahhh I hadn't formatted a guess!
ben_vulpes: i don't think these are exclusive
ben_vulpes doesn't actually know c - the horror!
assbot: The /yBitcoin fall guide has arrived! /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash http://t.co/3eKlTYIVe1
cazalla: they give each person a different address to send btc for their bro, surprised they didn't pump up the numbers to make it look more popular than it is
ben_vulpes: later they introduced the hyphen, that apparently wasn't a thing at 0.5.3
Apocalyptic: well if you don't I don't see the point in the '0',
mircea_popescu: jurov a) how is 0.01 an hour the current going price ? b) motherboard 50bux, cpu 100 bux, memory 50 bux, hdd 50 bux. don't need a monitor.
jurov: Apocalyptic doesn't matter. even if the machine may be beefy, it is unpredictably intermittent
mircea_popescu: i think the actor's an idiot that can't either act or sing, but that's okay : for one thing, so is timberlake. for the other : that's exactly the part.
mircea_popescu: bounce i just don't run js. does a lot.
mircea_popescu: like, if you were google, right ? wouldn't you be fucking impressed to see the same text from 50 profiles all the damned time ?
bounce: oh hey, isn't that nice. instead of some js that'll popup a "[tweet] [fb]" thingy every time you select a bit of text, this here bunch has convenient prefab tweets with url and approved text that you but have to click on to tweet.
bounce doesn't mention the slashes
mircea_popescu: at least those aren't special chars in regex
mircea_popescu: cause it doesn't properly account for the world, just for what the theorizer'd like.
bounce: that doesn't mean that a big large fixed magnetic field will magically cushion any and all vibration, which I understand was the point
BingoBoingo: bounce: No, manul post, that way it isn't spamming
bounce: if you dig a little deeper, see if you can't find the list of NSF grant numbers known to originate at the NSA
jurov: and it isn't solved at all for such general purpose case
gribble: Dr. Dre - Keep Their Heads Ringin' - YouTube: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISbnf9qCmhI>; Why Figure Skaters Don't Seem Dizzy After Spinning: <http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/01/figure-skaters-dont-seem-dizzy-spinning/>; THE READY SET LYRICS - Spinnin' - A-Z Lyrics: <http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/readyset/spinnin.html>
bounce: haven't seen it, roughly know the plot. probably should take the time sometime.
mircea_popescu: just, the fucktards that write about things they don;'t understand, when they're not busy husslking pete in his comment section,
Adlai: well there is a missing object. malice and benevolence don't exist in a vacuum, they have to be directed at something
bounce: er, tcp doesn't do crap without ip to transport it. the layers do build on each other
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't need them "to function", because it functioning is not a layer 7 thing.
bounce: I ment that layer 7 still needs the lower layers to function, it doesn't float in air
bounce: this doesn't compute. take your hand outta my brains and try again?
bounce: wouldn't benevolence require some sort of intelligence or something?
mike_c: on kickstarter those guys are selling a hover board for $450 that.. doesn't hover.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, to be fair it's not the newton's law that is neglected here, but the fact that you won't get a magnetic field even close to be powerfull enough to support that weight
xanthyos: hoverboards don't work on water. not unless you have power.
Adlai hasn't figured out yet whether any of what happens on btcjam is not btcscam
thestringpuller: Pierre_Rochard haven't seen you in awhile
mircea_popescu: no, he prolly realised that he doesn't need it or want to use it and it'll just gather dust
mircea_popescu: eating some earthworms or w/e isn't really doing much anymore.
mircea_popescu: which in the grand scheme of things isn't really much at all. they've already fucked the goat in the public market long ago
Adlai: it'd be a little funny if all the devs agreed to the hardfork, got a working patch together, then went miner by miner and couldn't get a single one to agree to switch
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> yeah, it's possible miners won't make the best decision. this was illustrated yesterday, when the atc miners failed to make the best decision. // btw that was pretty impressive
diametric: maybe i'm mistaken but doesn't the white paper basically state a hard fork will be required in the future to address scalability?
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's possible miners won't make the best decision. this was illustrated yesterday, when the atc miners failed to make the best decision.
mircea_popescu: it hasn't happened yet, in 100 years of computing.
mircea_popescu: because money doesn't think all that much of code monkeys. and definitely isn't going to start taking their ideas of how to manage things seriously.
Adlai: miners are people too, and people don't always make the best decisions. even if they act rationally, they might not be aware of all the information about an issue.
mats_cd03: and... they won't let themselves get shit on.
Adlai: as much as the timecube's four days revolve around the WoT, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people who have heard about the hardfork proposal haven't heard any competing argument against it
ben_vulpes: it'd be neat if he'd differentiate between Bitcoin the reference implementation which is bug-ridden and shitty, and Bitcoin the protocol which doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: course it isn't.
assbot: Manifesto Vows to Give Consumers Control of Digital Identitieshttp://t.co/CRZsd73VUgby /SarahLizChar http://t.co/PDY66TFmzd
mircea_popescu: try to not do that so you don't ned up like the 62c5186b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.197.24.107 retard.
undata: mircea_popescu: what makes you like Argentina? Things like wealth taxes don't convey a sense of respect for private property, though I can see how that'd be irrelevant to BTC wealth
mircea_popescu: "Many people spent a big chunk of their lives investing in this dream and it didn't pan out quite as we wish."
mircea_popescu: they didn't have enough sense to make a wot.
gabriel_laddel: wrong link above. apparently I recorded it by hand. I couldn't find the quote I had intended to post by googling, so here it is: http://pastebin.com/AnDwtySY from Emacs.
asciilifeform: decimation: it's laundry / merit-washing. we simply don't know the details.
asciilifeform: (can't speak for other folks)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you remember yourself, when telling the tale of why you didn't port it to msdos
decimation: that bitcoin-0.1 turd definitely depends on db_cxx.h, which seems to be bdb, but that isn't a full answer
decimation: wasn't it always in a Berkeley db?
AdamIR2: I realise now you were talking about Michael Go, and his involvement with MMADX several years ago. I don't know the details of his involvement with that, but it is not connected with Independent Reserve.
AdamIRAway: Sorry they haven't been to your liking, I will be happy to leave if it's not welcome.
AdamIRAway: Secondly, we aren't using any software from Admiral Markets or MMDX, not a single line of code, I don't know what systems they've used previously. Our systems have been developed in-house over the past 15 months.
AdamIRAway: First of all, I'm not involved in any waay with MMDX - I hadn't heard of them until you mentioned it.
mircea_popescu: now my thinking is that you couldn't have spent very long making a dedicated platform, seeing how this just happened this year, so you're either reusing one or the other. i somehow doubt it's admiral's platform, so prolly im guessing mmdx's ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, since michael go doesn't seem on the menu, how did you get Admiral Markets's very own Lasanka Perera ? or what exactly is the arrangement there ?
decimation: AdamIRAway: that pretty much sounds to me something like "we plan to float bitcoin and hope we don't get screwed"
AdamIRAway: decimation... Pwc will be auditing our finances, and we will make their report available. We are looking to engage them to audit our XBT reserves as well shortly. We aren't currently transparent day-to-day regarding our reserves/balances, but it is obviously something we will be looking to do shortly after our launch.
decimation: AdamIRAway: are you going to be transparent to your customers w.r.t. actual daily balances?
AdamIRAway: 4. Most people, particularly Australians (but other nationalities also), can verify themselves online within minutes, usually without having to submit any identification documents. In some cases we can't automatically verify that, we can still verify manually.
mircea_popescu: sure, go can't hurt.
mircea_popescu: AdamIR get in the wot. actually why aren';t you in there already ?
ben_vulpes: wouldn't it be "a zero"?
asciilifeform: a datacenter that can't be diddled from a safe distance is also called 'a nuclear power' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Why can't a datacenter be protected similarly?
cazalla: mike_c, which pete linked to but it's a commentary and as news alone, i don't think anyone cares what someone said regarding bitcoin so it could only be commentary on qntra
mike_c: i don't mean to poop on pete, but his is the one i just read.
mike_c: or, to rephrase. a news article shouldn't have as much of a slant as a blog post.
assbot: My first piece for /qntra: Bitcoin tells Big Banks: "Thanks for lunch!" http://t.co/DtFQOFXNEL
pete_dushenski: i don't use it but it exists
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Who doesn't
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it provably won;t, no.
bounce: that isn't really an answer.
morgan-freeman_: bounce: I don't spam! my friends told me to put it on #bitcoin-assets and #bitcoin-otc - I've never seen these two channels so I tried
morgan-freeman_: well, I don't know but there is only a horse manure as a choice.. once I saw an elephant shit on one site, but no bitcoins
dr_love: kakobrekla: ye, I like the way his movies aren't intended as message films. it's more like art, really
