mircea_popescu: yeah. sometimes i feel i'm gonna break down and cry.
mircea_popescu: awww, i thought oil hurt russia not the good guys.
mircea_popescu: more like "is it ok if i take your blouse off ? are you ok ? can i remove your panties now ? aren't we going too fast ?" blablabla.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why the dudes are dumb enough to not expect to be paid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't call the "normal" encounters anything as noble as rape. it's servicing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i look forward to the reintroduction of that ancient italian tradition of the whore family.
asciilifeform: '25,000. That’s the number of single dollar bills that I will eventually have to pay back. ' << wtf
mircea_popescu: the neurotic mind of the typical millennial is incapable of what you and i call memory just like the brainfried derps on wall street are incapable of banking. pokemon go, "revolutionizing", stuff like that. but "housewife" can't fucking cook and college student can't fucking remember.
mircea_popescu: http://www.themaneater.com/stories/2016/6/14/having-student-debt-helped-me-find-myself/ << "slavery is the definitive formative experience for the female. but GOTTA NOT BE TO A MAN!!11 anything, everything, no matter that it doesn't work or make sense. I WILL NEVER SUBMIT!!11eleventy"
BingoBoingo: From the mines: "Ms. Dyspnea: "Bullshit. I asked the nurse if I could just get the oxygen in my IV, and she said she couldn't do that. We all know she could just take off this stupid mask and plug it into my IV instead." "
asciilifeform: i dun pray to satan to ask that btc be magically nailed to usd, but words - incl. 'stable' - have meanings..!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 04:36 mircea_popescu: i wonder what happened to all the derps who went on about how bitcoin ain't stable enough.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what happened to all the derps who went on about how bitcoin ain't stable enough. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then again i also have no idea how the less wrong derps can live under the same sun as http://trilema.com/2016/multivariate-calculus-for-experts/
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how any of them can maintain the pretense of "thinking" and "rational" with this on the table.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510640 << i suppose it is possible to watch cockfight without feeling urge to strap razors to one or the other bird... ☝︎
asciilifeform: when i 'but why let mouse go', it was from impatience.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510638 << well i'd prefer max chaos and blood, with respect to enemy ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 18:55 thestringpuller: mining op is expensive and every miner i've procured has been a borderline drug deal
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 18:09 asciilifeform: i dun really have strong shit to give re what happens to this or that alt.
asciilifeform: i will point out that ~every word uttered thus far, by claimed miners, has turned out to have ~0 relationship with the truth.
asciilifeform: i do not believe that it is +ev for any miner to truthfully speak.
asciilifeform: personally i have nfi which.
asciilifeform: (i.e. only on the mempool end? or on both ends ?)
asciilifeform: and it will be orphaned unless you can outrun the entire set. i.e. 51%ate.
thestringpuller: That's not what I'm saying. Mining is temporary as hardware goes obsolete. YOu milk the hardware as much as possible, and resell it to bagholders, and buy newer hardware.
thestringpuller: not if i resell it to a bagholder which is easier than it sounds
asciilifeform: trinque: if one day someone controls serious % of hash rate, and wishes to prove it publicly right here - you will be right, and i - wrong.
thestringpuller: i also don't like putting dollars into miners when I could put them into bitcoins
thestringpuller: i've put some miners in a colo I trust near my house, but i don't see it growing anytime soon due to chip procurement
trinque: this magical world where there is never a reason to do something is not one I inhabit
asciilifeform: you ~could~ find someone who will 'i speak for the trees! for the trees, have no tongues!'
thestringpuller: so I personally think mining facilitates a scammer mindset
asciilifeform: anyway i am not convinced that it is possible to actually talk to a miner.
thestringpuller: it seems most mining operations turn into scams tho. i've yet to see a "legit" operation.
thestringpuller: I suspect Chinese miners are just glorified money launderers.
asciilifeform: trinque: i wrote an fpga thing, long ago.
thestringpuller: i bet someone is still running Diablo miner....
thestringpuller: i don't know why anyone in their right mine would want to mine
thestringpuller: mining op is expensive and every miner i've procured has been a borderline drug deal ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'i won't mine this because i dun like the colour of its shoes'
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i have nfi how mtgox could have 'forced miners' to anything whatsoever.
thestringpuller: so I dunno what I don't know.
thestringpuller: yea. but i'm looking at core code and the nlocktime thing seems untouched until peter todd era
thestringpuller: i thought the high-S thing was due to PRB nodes fellating low-S transactions until they became high-S ones.
thestringpuller: how so? is miner running custom code to say "i'ma put nlocktime tx in this block"
thestringpuller: I don't recall seeing any nlocktime tx's in the wild
thestringpuller: I get that. I guess I'd have to do more investigation. Make a bunch of nlocktime transaction and see how to break it. cause it wasn't used until peter todd made OP_CLTV abomination for segwit/ln
thestringpuller: Weird. It works in practice. (I made an nlock transaction in mid 2013 and it worked as advertised)
asciilifeform: i could spoil the 'surprise', but why.
thestringpuller: I KNOW
asciilifeform: do i have to draw the picture here ?
thestringpuller: i always viewed nlocktime tx's as MPEx "PUSH all in case key is compromised" tactic
asciilifeform: no, i ask, ~who won't mine~
thestringpuller: i.e. i give my heir transaction that gives him all my btc after nlocktime block arrives (maybe 20-40 years from now)
asciilifeform: i thought the 'lock' bullshit required fork ?
danielpbarron: it was a "wallet" that used nLockTime to make "secure" 0-conf transactions if i'm not mistaken. And I think they also publicly took a stand against a bitcoin hard fork at some point. They had a representative in the chat under the nickname 'GAit' but never registered a GPG key.
asciilifeform: and 'clean' is not a word i apply to cmachineware.
asciilifeform: i dun really have strong shit to give re what happens to this or that alt. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you're a one track mind the likes i've never seen. "gotta clean"
mircea_popescu: used to be known as "i'll break your arms off and beat you to shit with them", back in the day.
mircea_popescu: "i'll pay your son to rape your wife with money taken from your house" is the byline of the revolution. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i call this... the obamacare.
asciilifeform: i have not been keeping up with the details: where did the 'eth' fork people move the dao coins to ?
asciilifeform: i suspect that the main problem is the computer.
asciilifeform: i thought these were folx with 'no two empanadas to rub together'
asciilifeform: i sort of modelled ar as a kind of spanish '90s ru
asciilifeform: '90s ru - i can grasp, yes
mircea_popescu: i do, and it ain't pretty.
asciilifeform: i dun have a solid feel for what it is that ar folk actually ~want~ from life
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 00:48 asciilifeform whistles the impalement theme from 'ogniem i mieczem'...
mircea_popescu: quite exactly asking. so what if i ask ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would have taken these pesos, on some reasonable conditions.
mircea_popescu: i've been here for years have i not ?
mircea_popescu: i do not follow ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 15:31 jurov: hehe,and can this ever be prevented? i can't see how to reliably ensure propagation of divergent transactions to sides of hardfork
mircea_popescu: i kid you not, with this. i know it's absurd. but she did do it.
mircea_popescu: they have some sort of tribal arrangement, but fuck me if i can explain it sensibly.
asciilifeform: and looking at the ar real estate catalogue, i would bet same is true there
asciilifeform: i cannot speak for the rest

a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 14:13 felipelalli: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-16#1503818 << mircea_popescu a) the main issue to me is the language, I'm afraid w/ my English, I'd like to dominate more than I do. b) I'm sorry for that too. It's being very hard to keep up to date here, you guys are too fast for me! :) Also again the language is an obstacle sometimes which makes 3x harder to undertand than the normal.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510286 << god almighty. this may be the dumbest thing i ever heard. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: somehow the dot became so deeply "concat strings" that i'd first check "who the fuck is regexping this" perhaps ; but it'd never occur to me to say "you know what - it saw a dot it's now looking at a class"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 03:25 mircea_popescu: anyway, i fucking hate the notion of "implicit object".

a111: Logged on 2015-07-17 01:50 asciilifeform: decimation: 'telco 214' is the owner of a single ip which houses, as far as i can tell, at least 2% of current net hash.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-26 22:26 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you recall the meanwhile-forgotten name of the derp who was doing this "oh i am a miner hurr" posturing maybe 6 months or so ago ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-26#1510186 << what i'd like to know is what became of that ~other~, quiet usg miner ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo crazy, i get a blocked page
BingoBoingo: Anyways I guess that's the other thing from selecting a midwestern nowhere I forgot to offer asciilifeform, if it took the world wars to get the local paper to print in English the town is probably better than others.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and wtf is with the "up to" menu. really, 400 dollars buys me "up to a steak" ? fuck that, how about his steak gets him UP TO 400 bucks, whatever i happen to have in my pocket. << German settlement can not prevent every UStard idiocy from intruding
