mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: this suggests a novel attack vector: depress price strategically to drive miners out, <<< except miners don't go in and out with the price. the market is amortisation driven, they have the gear and have to use it, so they'll use it.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: it's completely wild to see how much the bitcoin network hashrate fluctuates. << you understand those aren't directly measured, but more like calculated after the fact ? it's normal variance, you're trying to guess how many times a coin is tossed by how many heads you see. well... ☟︎
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i remember hearing about this kid, nfi if he actually was part of lulzsec or not
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> being a miner is notoriously a "nobody's business" type of affair. there's nothing to be gained really. /// well, what if we picture the future 10 years out? are representatives of large hash more communicative? or is there 'political' position on bitcoin technicals more known?
mircea_popescu: cazalla http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/20/no_chokey_for_flannery/ mebbe
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no dude, it's a pos libtard venue astroturfing the shit out of the internet.
ben_vulpes: anyways, here, ether wallet lulz: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/10/22_technical-flaws-in-early-ether-wallet-implementations.html
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes say "no thanks!"
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes as opposed to... lol crafting your own based on imaginary spec?
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: at present value, yes :-P
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: I kid you not about the antenna - this is pretty much the best FPV video receiver antenna on the market, and it's from True RC Canada: http://www.truerc.net/canada/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_32_40&products_id=217
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: I'm going to be in LA from next Tue till Nov 2nd, and then in Utah & Las Vegas from Nov 2nd to Nov 17th - any chance you're mosying on down in that vicinity?
pete_dushenski: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/22/android_can_be_tricked_into_loading_malware_obfuscated_in_pngs/ << heh
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: lol i wish i had that kind of budget << instead of paying for college pay for full time tutor for 4 years?
thestringpuller: ;;later tell mircea_popescu I'm glad you can still be young at heart re: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-10-2014#882514 ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes patience.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski> it feels like bitcoin is accelerating that process!
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes ow! it's hot in here!
thestringpuller: old pete_dushenski will one day think like Jeezy, "Seen't it all"
thestringpuller: We saw how that worked out for usagi ~_~
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: romania was for a while on par with somalia. << but romania got "aid"
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: if we were still on gold standard, China could just dump gold and cause a collapse
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: this is also quite right. either russia or china can in fact raise interest rates causing a collapse. << their own rates? or just dump some us bonds and trigger us rate increase?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: a quarter bn in 2014 ? seriously ? all into shit ? << lol. tip of the derpberg.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'll repent by updating my "how to run a node" article with ben_vulpes' final work :)
ben_vulpes: provided set_lk_max_locks type configs are in place?
mircea_popescu: there is one caveat, specifically, that you must make a file named DB_CONFIG that contains a set_lg_dir database set_lk_max_locks 500000
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, i'll pass you a signed tarball tomorrow ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suppose "first otc rating" would be better way to go about it no ?
ben_vulpes: http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=mircea_popescu&start=5000 << mthreat wouldja be so kind as to expand how far back the search goes?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you got no pre-hearn blockchain ?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> 0.5.6rc3 works << enhanced sync speed?
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck it is code never shrinks ? << Code does shrink sometimes. But not due to concentration on features or bugs. If it happens, it happens because the developer grows and improves. One of my favorite days was deleting 60k lines of code that I had written and replacing it with 100 lines. Simpler. Faster. Easier to understand.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: now is not the time, i actually suggested the project not imagining it would be picked up so quickly
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu lol will do. i remember that article well.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski << http://trilema.com/2013/the-future-of-bitcoin-regulation/ tell garzik i said they missed the boat.

mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> <mircea_popescu> anyway, the consensus seems to be 6.3 ? << i've yet to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3 << ok, so 5.4
asciilifeform still puzzled that mircea_popescu won't pick a favourite here
mod6: ben_vulpes: so the main issue was the deps so far. i went to the deb site and it gave me some to add to the sources.list, but didn't seem to help. i can try something different tomorrow if you have suggestions.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: let's put another way, lowest version you would be willing to use for daily life.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway, the consensus seems to be 6.3 ? << i've yet to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even plausible that usg permitted this to avoid hastening axe-time, sword-time, bitcoin-time
decimation: mircea_popescu: stupid on whose part?
mod6: ben_vulpes's thing is gonna install 0.5.3

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: mircea_popescu was that AdamIRaway guy really a developer in the MMADX platform? << i have no idea. he said no. one of the guys he lists as associates was involved with it.

KayTheFlower: ben_vulpes, thank you
