mircea_popescu: i dunno that the question was ever settled, or seriously considered. but it'd be expected
prb begins with the famous "you are like power rtangers" nonsense, during the original hearn-induced fork.
mircea_popescu: if you're particularly inclined to act as a propaganda agent for
prb, you may make that wholly unsubstantiated, ridiculous claim.
mircea_popescu: perhaps. but this really wasn't the thesis. you do know that ~nobody is running
prb, and this has been in ample evidence historically throughout.
mircea_popescu: no, actually you know for a fact 95% of miners were not running
prb back last year, because of the fork thing.
mircea_popescu: it didn't work for
prb, it didn't work for anything, including scbl and xml/html.
mircea_popescu: rather than "let's try
prb with better people, it'll work this time"
mircea_popescu: this whole "we are developers herp" thing is
prb not trb.
pete_dushenski: bitcoin's too complicated, too barbed, too thorny, too messy, and too time-consuming for sortakindausers. this is obviously an asset in a great many ways, but it can still be frustrating for persistent folks. not that this is news to everyone beating
prb into trb....
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: actually i would be only slightly surprised if
prb could be persuaded to jmp into a block.
ben_vulpes: it looked better than
prb back in the day
mircea_popescu: (or even WHETHER it actually works. hence all the - equally unexamined and inept -
prb derpage about "blessed" chains)
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: I guess I got to now. Shiva represents first serious mega-weaponized divergence of trb from
prb BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The truly lulzy part is the blame is going to Windows antiviruses for deleting arbitrary files from
PRB bitcoin databases.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> does
PRB need dbus btw? << it should, really.
punkman: and if
prb had sane logging we wouldn't be having this discussion
mircea_popescu: no idea why anyone thinks "bitcoin will take over the world". they can't possibly be talking of the
prb codebase.
punkman: not sure when they implemented that in
PRB mircea_popescu: you seem to be operating on the delusional notion miners user
prb ?!
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> yea
prb won't relay high-S due to bip-62 << Wasn't even a BIP, was a point update trivia
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i was just saying if miners receive tx's to mine via
PRB code then it'll isolate
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it shouldn't be the case that you're connected exclusively to
prb nodes.
thestringpuller: Basically all "new"
PRB-nodes will refuse to relay high-S tx's to the network. Miners will still mine them though. But interesting that a high-s transaction has high probability to get fellated and malleated by network before being mined.
pete_dushenski: and
prb = pseudorealbitcoin/pretendrealbitcoin/powerrangerbitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: just pointing out that you know, "here's
prb showing 35% (of 40% of the actual network)". which happens to be exactly the mtgox approach to lyf.
mircea_popescu: herpitty derp, gotta get
prb appear over irrelevancy no matter what.
mircea_popescu: Thinking in those terms, "Hey, TRB actually running on BSD as opposded to
PRB sounds to me like it'd be huge, it must be made a point of public communication, I need datas to support me in discussing this with people, plox to help me here!" is a helluva lot more productive than "this is X's dominion". At the worst this will clarify that "nah, not really", at the best it'll help a lot of idiots understand why it nobody
