mod6: so then i took a step back. decided to do something like what the initial steps of my V do; list the contents of a directory, throw the filenames into a list using Doubly_Linked_Lists(Unbounded_String) and then attempt to pass them to another function that does further parsing.
mod6: i set out to do something similar to what phf had been doing by writing some tests utilizing ffa. but then i couldn't figure out how to even make a package with function or procedure that used a generic type.
mod6: asciilifeform: aha. i can tell you from my own recent adventures into learning ada that it is strict, and strong.
mod6: why buy the cow if you get the milk for free?
mod6: but it's crossed my mind a number of times since i started testing these things.
mod6: yup. indeed. there are many fgs, and lots of enterprising people out there.
mod6: and ask like that might never catch a bid, but market will meet somewhere, will sell into highest bids, etc.
mod6: put up 1.5Gb of entropy... start the bidding at say 1mn ecu
mod6: i actually looked at it lastnight to see if I could start my own auction for this exactly.
mod6: yeah, could even be an eulora auction daily
mod6: there is a bar to entry. the bar is N btc high.
mod6: i can't know who would want this, but i'd imagine i wouldn't discriminate on who would want it. just as long as they PAY.
mod6: and as far as "sample" perhaps that's not how it works. maybe like via trinque's thing or something. but i agree, there is some sort of model here.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 i'd imagine price'd work out to somewthing like double the commercial cost of bw, or somesuch. << sure, something. > than 0 tho.
mod6: anyway, just throwing it out there.
mod6: well, i figured, im not really sure I do this anyway, but lets make a market. i'll say .1, he'll say .0001 and somewhere, we hvae price discovery.
mod6: maybe charge by the byte, or jiggabyte. something. have to figure out what the market is willing to bear as a price tho.
mod6:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661674 << was thinking there, for those who would want it, a model where guy asks for N bytes of entropy via FG. would generate N bytes. base64 encode the binary entropy file (similar to trb deps), place the sha512 output hash of the base64 decoded file along with the ent & dieharder output in a clearsigned message, then PGP encrypt it to the requester.
☝︎ mod6: anyway, the -otc days maybe came and went a long time ago. so gabriel_laddel_p might be sol.
mod6: Anyway, for that kinda asking price, i'd figure he could buy a bunch for himself anyway.
☟︎ mod6: looks like they make stainless keyboards for industrial use
mod6: if anyone could make one, it'd be you.
mod6: like all alum or steel?
mod6: i considered getting one of these, but i wanted to try the concave thing first on something ~half the cost.
mod6: speaking of special keys in the middle, i suppose one could remap all of the maltron keys into the middle.
mod6: i vi/m, and i have to say that with the kinesis, the tiny ESC key bugs me. so i remap ESC to the right thumb ctrl key, and the 'OS' key to ctrl.
mod6: phf: aha. even with qwerty on the kinesis, it still messes me up a bit now on regular staggard row layouts. i never tried alt layouts such as dvorak since a friend went through the same thing. always found himself having to switch everyone elses keyboard to dvorak just to "use" their keyboard for a minute.
mod6: i.e. 3179, 3270, ... etc.
mod6: is there any specific model you use/prefer?
mod6: which ones does alf like?
☟︎ mod6: it's got the cherry mx reds. been using it for a month. im getting used to it.
mod6 recently gotn kinesis advantage 2
mod6: asciilifeform: also, re 'wires', indeed, just experiment at this point, not for battlefield use.
mod6: !~later tell gabriel_laddel_p Let me know how much entropy you'd like, I'll run ent test & dieharder against it, let you decide if you want it. I'll ask 0.1 BTC per Gb. What is your bid?
☟︎☟︎ mod6: <+asciilifeform> paging mod6 << +gabriel_laddel_p, I've got 'em.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> not sure, possibly nobody gave a shit. << iirc no websites for either existed at the time of listing.
mod6: just pull up and drop anchor on their front lawn.
mod6: what's a ballcock anyway?!!
mod6: yeah. it sounds awful.
mod6: how's it goin diana_coman?
mod6: ahh, ok. thats great news asciilifeform. just stick to what you're doing, all in good time.
mod6: !%a trb C "Move the deps folder" "Move trb deps directory which contains frozen artifacts outside of the bitcoin project directory. This will avoid unwanted removal of artifacts upon a `make clean`."
mod6: !%e v 5 T "Publish V-Genesis" "Publish V-Genesis post 99994 release."
mod6: !%e v 4 T "Update V" "Implement ability for V to pull separate projects from the mirror based on hash (or possible alias)."
mod6: %!e v 4 T "Update V" "Implement ability for V to pull separate projects from the mirror based on hash (or possible alias)."
mod6: mircea_popescu: werd
mod6: yeah, was thinking heavily about the new version lastnight. need to get some work into that yet.
mod6: will be removing these.
mod6: i dunno yet; but it'll be something
mod6: I might just end up writing a page that links all the ent/dieharder results.
mod6: we'll see how it goes
mod6: im not exactly sure what kinda anal. might just put some stats in there to pull-together some of the info from all 15 tests.
mod6: should have them done within a few days. then i gotta try to do some fg-anal.
mod6: re-doing the tests for FG1 and the first test of FG2. Basically these were run prior to the 'fullblock' thread.
mod6: hopefully get something going this coming weekend.
mod6: im way behind on my garden. :[
mod6: Rerunning these now... will update as they complete.
mod6: I was about to embark on some fg-anal, but realized that I needed to re-run all of the test from FG #1 and one test from FG #2 -- as those were run before the thread about dd 'fullblock'.
mod6: yup, that's the one, thx.
mod6: not that theres any difference, but then you get the advantage of some really important enhancements/fixes.
mod6: are you using V99994 now too?
