mircea_popescu: and i'll point out that the problem here isn't the work, or the thought, but the fucking packaging. you get overexcited and oversignal. it detracts from very valuable stuff.
mircea_popescu: which can be briefly summarized as "alf : omg all blackhole is disk wait for db ; mp : thatr's a factor, there's more" repeated a dozen times.
mircea_popescu: and this isn't the first time we run into the problem of ... let's call them sloppy run "experiments". but the second, this week.
mircea_popescu: you just said this ; yourself ; above. in discussing "type 1" you are engaging in pure nytimes-ism.
mircea_popescu: "i observed something on three blocks on one machine and here's the 100% conclusion ; tune in tomorrow for another one that a) fails to reference how i was wrong yesterday or address why and b) offer another 100% plus measures to be taken" is entirely undistinguishable.
mircea_popescu: that specific sort of retard is specified as follows : "i heard about bitcoin yesterday, and i have a solution!".
mircea_popescu: the problem with prb is that it's run by a specific sort of retard.
mircea_popescu: "ProcessBlock (res == 1) took : 167839ms; db write wait: 130117ms; db read wait: 21201ms" lelz
mircea_popescu: also, apparently trump will not invite un security council to wh gagglemeets either. nor the correspondents dinner.
mircea_popescu: also cnnleaks.com if anyone still somehow gives a shit about the fake media orgs.
mircea_popescu: "A 17-year-old transgender boy won a Texas state girls wrestling title on Saturday".
mircea_popescu: provisioning nodes on the basis of "the minimum number needed" is insanity.
mircea_popescu: basically nodes are the digital equivalent of women : men fuck them so the state can have babies. hurr durr, pill plox.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron the analogy doesn't hold. currently the tool gives miners cake while nodes pay for the electricity. there's some people cheering on the sides, which i suppose makes the nodes all warm inside ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the wallet : i would fucking love to see a mpfhf collision on 513 byte input.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because the bitcoin network bandwith far exceeds the ACTUAL transaction needs of the civilised world.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron that part wasn't much explained. all mining is technically wasted space for the node, not like they get money for it.
mircea_popescu: if it were the case you had to pay 2 bux to transact in 2011, bitcoin'd have never exiosted
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. to get the system off the ground. i explained this before, im pretty sure.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if we use a fixed block width it will waste disk space.
mircea_popescu: block averages say 5 btc in fees, for about 1mb of space. average tx costs about 2 bux currently.
mircea_popescu: at the cost of the expensive space in mined blocks. yes.
mircea_popescu: this is not a factual descreiption. the transition from opportunity cost + 0 to opportunity cost + epsilon may matter, but so far neither record nor theory offer any convincing reason it would.
mircea_popescu: apparently you can't make the flock be good christians through tithe control.
mircea_popescu: there isn't an administrative solution to the problem you perceive. if the "godfee" is low, it won't matter, and if it;s high it won't work.
mircea_popescu: looky, a common strategy of students that are not in possession of the material is to resolve those problems they think they know how.
mircea_popescu: rent has been, historically, a poor dike against socialist tide.
mircea_popescu: even the theory that 1 satoshi is actually the denomination of btc is iffy
mircea_popescu: no coin is infinitely divisible for reasons we already discussed.
mircea_popescu: libertards call it that ; but then again they call all sorts of things.
mircea_popescu: if you mean something like "block subsidy = 100 btc forever ; and each block must contain 1k txn ; and each txn must waste 0.1 btc" then you've done jack shit.
mircea_popescu: yeah. actually, im going to write up an alternative addressing shceme.
mircea_popescu: ripemd160(sha256()) + sha256(sha256) checksum ? wtf is this bullshit.
mircea_popescu: in any case i'm not a huge fan of the current address derivation scheme
mircea_popescu: myeah. that, also, gores on list : cipher of known hardness.
mircea_popescu: (i dunno if you recall the net history, was at a point swedish torrent published openly mockful "takedowns" on its website)
mircea_popescu: turns out usg is more than happy to bomb a whole dc, or for that matter wedding party.
mircea_popescu: this was the pretense of shared hosting. it didn't work irl.
mircea_popescu: your design requires "always", not "when it's worth the money".
mircea_popescu: whenever your design calls for "and then they will go in front of the cannons, break the enemy's arms and beat them into a pulp with the broken arms" you're not asking for a merchant, but for a soldier.
mircea_popescu: yes but now you depend on a type of tx - the moving fallbacks.
mircea_popescu: game suddenly becomes "can you volunteer necks to squeeze" ; empire already reduced the thriving system of euro trade to the sad nonsense of us banking.
mircea_popescu: anyway. nytimes/cnn are getting shut down, this year. there's no two ways about it at this point.
mircea_popescu: now people will have to click on breitbart to see what trump said at news conference.
mircea_popescu: in other lulkz : cnn, nytimes and the rest of the libertard fake news sites denied white house access.
mircea_popescu: "oh but if they're strong they might not like us". ~dumbass women always and everywhere.
mircea_popescu: somehow the fundamental problem of making one's citizens weaker is never evident to these schmucks.
mircea_popescu: and note that we';re not the onyl ones aware. enemy has placed a strategic urbit right on this space.
