trinque: it did not give a single fuck.
trinque: sqlite3 is a tank
mod6: asciilifeform: i was tinkering with that... for a bit.
asciilifeform: i recall somebody here was attempting a version of buildroot that downloads nothing
mod6: we need a place where we can grab these.
mod6: i've been running into a bunch of instances lately where the download sites for these artifacts have been down/unavailable.
trinque: bundle will be cut at the hour, so I'd do it all either before then or after, so you can reference a single deed bundle in docs or w/e
thestringpuller: make life as miserable as possible for the student, until one day student realizes he actually learned a lot
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, found https://gist.github.com/achillean/07f7f1e6b0e6e113a33c << claims to be catalogue of top duped ssh pubkeys from a scan similar to Framedragger's
thestringpuller: and it is a buyer market. just can't get hung up on those clingy ones.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 14:43 mircea_popescu: there's a hundred to a thousand daughters of "single parent" families with fucking siblings, ie, whoredaughters, who instead of joining their mother's brothel go to "community college" and end up with just about enough "college debt" to cover a decent party weekend. IN FOUR YEARS.
thestringpuller: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1510735 << I have a great story regarding this from my alma matar. There was this guy was a rich alumni (trophy wife and everything), and would come back to campus to "hang out". Anyhow he'd pick up chicks and become their sugar daddy. Note that one of these girls is married to a beta-male working for crapple, and another chick who was "in a monogamous relationship" for years at the time. Point being, ☝︎
danielpbarron: if there's a fire in an air-tight room and you break open a way for fresh air to get in...
a111: 1 results for "shit in a hole", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=shit%20in%20a%20hole
asciilifeform: $s shit in a hole
asciilifeform: recall the 'shit in a hole for 5 years' thread?
asciilifeform: ask a bmore ape what is grumman
mircea_popescu: and it's literally, and plainly stated. "there won't be a next time for you. but if there were a 2nd last time, you'd better make damn sure the republican party crowns me from day one and on its knees. bitches."
asciilifeform: usa, unlike most orc shitholes, has a well-curated electoral zoo, and this kind of thing is rare. but it happens.
mircea_popescu: there's a price to pay for the idiotic pretense put up by the gop. when a woman does it, the custom is to slide the knife in her asshole before the penis, to cut her sphyncter permanently.
BingoBoingo: flying hairmat is a wild card, and electoral "mystery box"
BingoBoingo: Don't worry. You'll just go to bar, make baby, and discover each baby comes with a raise.
mircea_popescu: most of the reason my usual "we're going to the party now. take off your clothes ; keep your knees apart at all times" is so insta-delicious. much like icecream in a world of gruel.
mircea_popescu: caring guys with a greatsense of humor, the world's worst paid nurses.
mircea_popescu: the work - and it IS work - involved in the average encounter known as a "hook up" or "one night stand" is a lot closer to nursing an elderly stupid patient than to fucking. ☟︎
asciilifeform: a few hr/day , here, in the evening they go to the rape pits, voluntarily, beer-lubricated
mircea_popescu: the relation between she-ustard and tradition-whore is about the same as between chicken liver and a mouse.
mircea_popescu: everything's a buyer's market once money actually exists. which is so fucking important for the stupid party that money doesn't exist.
asciilifeform: sounds like a buyer's market!111
mircea_popescu: there's a hundred to a thousand daughters of "single parent" families with fucking siblings, ie, whoredaughters, who instead of joining their mother's brothel go to "community college" and end up with just about enough "college debt" to cover a decent party weekend. IN FOUR YEARS. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, you gotta make room in the model for the me-toos, who are most of it by weight. for every whewish princess that goes to vassar / wesleyan "cuz that's where hillary sent her kids" bla bla and blows "cost my parents about 250k... about 10k a year" on chinese calligraphy and clowning double major,
BingoBoingo: Not to mention at a place with protests, but not real protests
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"
gribble: Error: "bc," is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: great to be a vegetarian when one can't afford to buy meat.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "BEING AN ILLITERATE OR A LITERATE IS NOT A BARRIER TO BEING A MILLIONAIRE"
mircea_popescu: bout a month or so ya
mircea_popescu: cognitive dissonance is a wonderful bag.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a particularly amusing cockfight, because it shows plainly and incontrovertibly that "bad hacker / criminal thief" powered socialism is better, electorally speaking, than mit-socialism.
asciilifeform: nlocktime is a decorative knob.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510585 << they don't seem really cut for that water. keeping the foundation mission technological in nature is prolly the safer bet for a while yet. ☝︎
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
asciilifeform: ergo anything that is uttered by a purported miner, should be seen as a strategic lie.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 18:59 thestringpuller: trinque: you don't need to burn millions to mine 1 block a day (more than enoguh for tmsr) you need about $150k starting capital and some good luck to hope difficulty doesn't skyrocket on you
asciilifeform: (or nsa, which, for the purpose of this discussion, is a variant of chinese)
thestringpuller: not if i resell it to a bagholder which is easier than it sounds
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
asciilifeform: it is only a question of who the chump is in a given operation.
trinque: this magical world where there is never a reason to do something is not one I inhabit
thestringpuller: so I personally think mining facilitates a scammer mindset
thestringpuller: trinque: it isn't, but unfortunately the way chip distribution is pretty much a cartel, you're at the whim of the universe in terms of profitibility.
asciilifeform: anyway i am not convinced that it is possible to actually talk to a miner.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu will helpfully remind us that this is not a REAL miner
trinque: "good luck to hope" isn't a business plan
asciilifeform: eh if we write to some chinese bloke (and is there a known miner in the WOT? afaik there is not, nor any reason to ever expect there to be),
thestringpuller: trinque: you don't need to burn millions to mine 1 block a day (more than enoguh for tmsr) you need about $150k starting capital and some good luck to hope difficulty doesn't skyrocket on you ☟︎
thestringpuller: it seems most mining operations turn into scams tho. i've yet to see a "legit" operation.
trinque: no, written someone *operating* a mine
thestringpuller: mining op is expensive and every miner i've procured has been a borderline drug deal ☟︎
asciilifeform: this can end IMMEDIATELY if, say, we had a mining op.
thestringpuller: This was a softfork iirc.
asciilifeform: it is about miners spitting on a perfectly valid, per trb rules, tx
asciilifeform: thing is, you won't see 'break' unless a miner cooperates
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
asciilifeform: but notice, never as a consequence of locktime.
thestringpuller: "nLockTime is a parameter that can be attached to a transaction, that mandates a minimal time (specified in either unix time or block height), that before this time, the transaction cannot be accepted into a block."
thestringpuller: with OP_CLTV that opcode allows you to mine a transaction with nlocktime set
asciilifeform: so long as trb node accepts a hypothetical block as valid, it is mineable.
danielpbarron: might have been a n-of-m key escrow then -- where greenaddress is one of the keys and that's supposed to mean you can trust their 0-conf
thestringpuller: but if you sign a tx with nlocktime mienrs won't mine it until after nlocktime has passed
asciilifeform: 'physical bitcoin', as recently discussed, was/is a clunky, orcish version of this same thing.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-13 19:04 asciilifeform admits that he suspects bip64 of being a plot to create usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked to trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones that are to land back in their pocket 'in the future', should they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because this is how the world works'
a111: Logged on 2014-11-13 19:06 asciilifeform: bip64, aside from complicating the protocol and giving relevance to the gavin shitgang, is also a jam-tomorrow chumpatronic engineering structural element
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: it can be 'clean' relatively, as a public toilet sometimes is
asciilifeform: and 'clean' is not a word i apply to cmachineware.
mircea_popescu: you're a one track mind the likes i've never seen. "gotta clean"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 15:16 mircea_popescu: you're wide open, in a security sense, because of this notion of cleanliness.
mircea_popescu: orlov has a hardon for putin, but putin never ever came close to this.
mircea_popescu: so ? usg.mit spent close to 100mn to prop up eth for the past month ; now they're in the position where "the bad hacker" has a shitton of eth-c to give to "the people" to vote for him. they will, what's more, as per the usg system THEY ARE RIGHT TO. it is the "correct" modern-democracy socialist thing to do.
asciilifeform: and opts to buy the 100 cars, which, for all of their problems, cannot disappear silently in the middle of the night because a button were pressed in ftmeade
a111: Logged on 2016-07-23 16:07 mircea_popescu: oh, right, there's also a whole pile of claims re insider trading, manipulation etc over the "price" of "ethereum" at kraken and poloniex.
asciilifeform: 'a lie', singular ?
mircea_popescu: idem stupid, idem desocialized. the fundamental problem is that they believe a lie, and the lie became more important than anything, and as such they literally live in those vats.
mircea_popescu: lazy, stupid and desocialized, but not at all for genetic reasons. they're lazy like a schizophrenic patient with waxy paralysis is "lazy".
asciilifeform: i sort of modelled ar as a kind of spanish '90s ru
asciilifeform: i dun have a solid feel for what it is that ar folk actually ~want~ from life
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so much refused as "old whore wants to die as a rat."
asciilifeform: yes the cars are worth a tenth. so.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510384 << this might not be as monumentally stupid as it appears to be: what ~else~ can orc 1) buy 2) hide 3) sell, even for a tenth of what he paid, later ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510311 << you first split the pot by self-sending, then send off the splits. the speciffic attack is discussed in the logs, iirc davout even had a mock implementation back when it looked like the imbeciles may be dumb enough to need the stick applied physically. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510308 << doh. as was explained back in the day we for the first time in "the blockchain technology space" explained how a hard fork resolves economically, cca 2014ish. meanwhile the "technology leaders" of one intern and rented offices got a little overrun by events. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: we have a sign inversion and they have a graph crossing.
asciilifeform: ah we have a sign inversion.
asciilifeform: if it were 50000 - would be 50000-epsilon. and after a few rounds of printolade, probably will.
