BingoBongo: The problem isn't faster the problem is scalability. SatoshiDice for all I defended it against, with BDB's locking bahavior killed BDB as a bitcoin dependency
mircea_popescu: tho i think code conservatism may be more valuable. rather use something muchly used than something faster, if those are the only two data points.
BingoBongo: it is just a Google doohickey, but it works better and the license is right
mircea_popescu: leveldb is just this google doohickey
BingoBongo: An analogy is how there is no good Postgre fork of WordPress
mircea_popescu: okay... but i mean, it's old and stable, well tested, much deployed
mircea_popescu: i don't grok the hate. what's the big deal ?
BingoBongo: Really they need to kill BDB with fire. There is no other way. Gavin doesn't have a way to maintain BDB compatibility in LevelDB.
mircea_popescu: for all the nuts ranting and raving about how inept she is in that thread...
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people noticed that the girl's announcement ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152027.0 ) actually predates the devs' announcement ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152030.0 )
BingoBongo: I'll stick with practicing on established sites that maintain transparency like this http://bitbet.us/bet/302/bitcoin-standardized-protocol-approved-this-summer/
BingoBongo: If your trustee thinks you drink like a certain FPGA shilling Tom they just assume you'll end up in the Salvation Army shelter anyway
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu I've done bankrupt in the legal liquidation sense before. Surprisingly pleasant.
BingoBongo: Maybe I'm reading wrong which wouldn't be the first time, but it seems like a fair way to separate idiots from their coin.
BingoBongo: I'm just trying to figure out how little reserves a "prediction market" needs to really operate...
BingoBongo: also trip to the East Side
BingoBongo: Today in a moment of weakness I was tempted to register on the WOT and start cloning the late Intrade so I could supply idiots with the Bucketshop that they need
BingoBongo: Wow, kakobrekla; I thought I was planning something stupid...
kakobrekla: are they so desperate?
mircea_popescu: i want to drive what where ?!
benkay: mp wants to drive it to one place
benkay: i think the system is multistable
benkay: no it's a possibility though
mircea_popescu: but i shall endeavour to break that.
mircea_popescu: and one that is very probable if people stuck to the sort of nonsense evertyone's used to.
benkay: while the rest of the plebnet falls further and further behind
benkay: the people who appreciate well engineered things will quietly keep their shit regular
benkay: best have good tech, homeboy
benkay: also it's *inevitable* that the chain fork and fuck some people eventually
benkay: to comment on that.
benkay: but beyond my pay grade tbh
benkay: interoperability is typically important
mircea_popescu: this makes for a very dysfunctional lord of the flies environment
mircea_popescu: currently the miners are more in it for the bragging rights than for the money
mircea_popescu: benkay moreover, especially as people with actual skin in the game start to emerge.
benkay: especially when power begins to concentrate behind people who understand how open platforms are supposed to work
benkay: this may not always be the case.
benkay: this time the devs convinced the miners to do things their way.
grubles: people will either have to accept one client over another
benkay: 51% controls things
grubles: i think?
grubles: there can be alternates but they wont have the bitcoin mafia i mean foundation backing them
mircea_popescu: grubles which is why he's so adequate in this discussion
mircea_popescu: and then proceeds to yammer that he "Saved the day"
grubles: theyre too busy polishing their shiny new avalon asics
mircea_popescu: you know what scene when he delivers a baby in the messiest way possible
mircea_popescu: basically i can't shake this tom green image from my head.
benkay: wild west i tell you

mircea_popescu: people are basically in the middle ages, they;'d like to apply their potions and salves
