_cd03, other people have been fine with them. It's better to have proposals and not want them than not to have them, for most people in a position to seriously consider them. (called 'dealflow').
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Best part. The authors and subjects... all white as gypsum
mircea_popescu: mats
_cd03 no. they have their cults and we have a culture.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: hmm. maybe gavin is trying to tip us off below the radar of his handlers?
mircea_popescu: <pete
_dushenski> "And then divide by… uh, I think 5, because Pieter’s libsecp256k1 code is 5 times as fast as OpenSSL << honestly, at this point i'd want everyone to give a good look to libsecp256k1
mircea_popescu: <pete
_dushenski> wait, no, not purpose, causes! << lol selfpwnt
mircea_popescu: <pete
_dushenski> they didn't forget as much as were attracted by the *new shininess* in the first place. now new thing is shiny. <<< or, moreover, aren't even bitcoin in any sense. notice the earlier guy with his strange "irc is insecure" notions. he probably thinks he's involved. his choices and mental processes however do not reflect that.
Apocalyptic: <BingoBoingo> pete
_dushenski: Notice how he never addresses bandwidth growth seriously // this is indeed a worthy issue to address

_dushenski: Notice how he never addresses bandwidth growth seriously
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: and incidentally exactly, but EXACTLY how idiots just like gavin end up with mortgages they can't pay. << such forecasting these guys.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: moreover, the way net neutrality etc is going, not to mention the realpolitics of you know, actual wars, financial or otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if in 20 years the average us citizen is on dialup << only then will their derping be tamed. when it actually costs something.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: and i don't care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it. << so *that's* why we're here!
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: thestringpuller: so average bandwidth in US (where Gavin is based) is 10Mbit. An incearse of .5 per year is like what 15 next then 22.5 after that etc etc <<< in 20 years the per-block subsidy will be just about 40 bitcents. at that same time, gavin's block size will be 110 mb. << whoa.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: yet somehow the bitcoin crowd is supposed to have forgotten why it got into bitcoin in the first place, and apply the inflationary economy it's ran off from here << they didn't forget as much as were attracted by the *new shininess* in the first place. now new thing is shiny.

_vulpes ? :)
ben_vulpes: mircea
_popescu: prior, iirc. the context of the remark was that the sultan (subject of the chapter) began to address the plagues that had routinely decimated the capital with european medical techniques. this was, iirc, one of the last three to rule before the sultanate was brought to an end by the young turks et al.
BingoBoingo: mircea

Naphex: ben
_vulpes: (>>> Naphex: have you tried btcd?) i have btcd running on a staging server. eats a bit more load but deffinetly not ready to run on production. I'm still grabbing metrics from it so time will tell
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2014 18:01:23; mircea
_popescu: making it n-0, retroactively. THEY HAVE YET TO ACTUALLY SCORE ONCE!
Naphex: mircea
_popescu: i agree, but security you can improve. but functionality will be harder
Naphex: mircea
_popescu: and most full nodes out right now except core are all shit
Naphex: mircea
_popescu: i'm not arbitering shit
Apocalyptic: <mircea
_popescu> yet somehow the bitcoin crowd is supposed to have forgotten why it got into bitcoin in the first place // that's a recurring thought I have these days
mircea_popescu: mike
_c no but really, "i don't see". let's all go to the hospital and start derping, "i don't see why i'd have to take my clothes off"
mike_c: <+mircea
_popescu> i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see. << another contender for the b-a tagline :)
go1111111: mircea
_popescu: I don't see the usefulness if high fees, except as a means to secure the network. but fees will be a small portion of the reward to miners for a while. low fees enable transactions to occur that would otherwise be too costly, eliminating deadweight loss
Naphex: mircea
_popescu: so yeah, i haven't found anything even close to stable as bitcoind :)
Apocalyptic: <mircea
_popescu> blocksize is a scarce resource. // and it should remain so, precisely
mircea_popescu: <pete

nubbins`: <+mircea
_popescu> how's slotful lust ? <+asciilifeform> you of all people should know <<< my sides
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: nubbins` that's because you have canadiancare, which is really just nationalised obamacare. you're socialists over there, not like the true capitalists down south. that's why. << better this way. both losses and profits are socialized unlike tbtf american cos.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: kakobrekla how about wild boar ? << best dish i had in lithuania was wild boar. paired with pears!
TomServo: ben

BingoBoingo: <mircea
