mircea_popescu: nanotube it's a bot being written that will take gpog signed stuff, serialize it, hash it, insert the hash in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: so if you're willing to work with it, we can have a special ratings protocol. they're a lot more solid than gribble's.
nanotube: how much extra spam will this cause in the blockchain?
nanotube: ah so things get aggregated, cool
mircea_popescu: the advantage being that since one needs the whole bundle to verify the blockchain hash, everyone in the bundle has a vested interest to preserve the whole bundle

thestringpuller: For the start, we need to introduce the concept of a FrozenCoin. FrozenCoin is simply a bitcoin which cannot be spent before a certain moment in future, i.e. a time-locked, frozen bitcoin.
thestringpuller: E.g. one could time-lock 1 bitcoin for 1 year to create a FrozenCoin. This can be done using nLockTime property of a Bitcoin transaction, but we would need an oracle (e.g. a trusted third party) to prove that a coin can't be spent before the specified time.
thestringpuller: No one can seem to figure out how to use nLockTime without a third party to prevent double spend.

RagnarDanneskjol: i tried to get him to take one for the team so he can hang with the cool kids - but the man's GREEDY
chalbersma: If the budget allows I was thinking that allowing me to place an add on the web interface page + ~0.2 BTC initial compensation for setup on Ragnar's hardware seems reasonable. It gives me an incentive to continue maintenance because of the add while giving me enough up front to satisfy the fiancee that the hours I've already spent working on it were worth it.
chalbersma: I've got it setup currently on a home connection. You can check it out but I'd like to give the ip over pm to keep some semblance of keeping my IP private.

mircea_popescu: chalbersma if you wish ask in #freenode for a cloak. otherwise, anyone in any chan or pm sees your ip
mircea_popescu: chalbersma okay, you can have the .2, but i'd rather not ad the thing up, so.

skinnkavaj: mircea_popescu: Hard to take anyones word seriously, I can only judge by the flock of bitcoin developers in #monero-dev, I am not trusting 1 guy named jl777 that he will create a "Supernetwork" while he also have created 50 other altcoins. I am instead trusting the names assoicated with Monero. Familiar names to me. Also unless BTC is forked it will be the transparent coin and this is
skinnkavaj: good, people expect transparency for business, but I also see a future in the altcoin market with one altcoin that offers something bitcoin cannot today, anonymity.

fluffypony: there are a great deal of "developers" in the altcoin section that have *failed* at holding a job IRL
fluffypony: they can't see things through to a finish, so they fail at life

mircea_popescu: apparently bitcoin mining starts 12 months ago. who knew.
mircea_popescu: jurov i still think wetware comes before quantum, so there.
kakobrekla: i suspekt wetware is going to stay emulated for a long long time
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you know, after the first steam machines were introduced in the 1800s, people saw that horses and oxen are replaced, but believed the intelligent movement of man will remain emulated for a long long time

jurov: the google book i linked has bool logic gates
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know it's a bad habit to state the problem thus.
jurov: they aren't using whole cells
mircea_popescu: suppose i don't multiply 5 x 7, but i do a fft over a large domain.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform correct. only the bubblers are missing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you readily know the volume of "silicone" computation that goes by in the average cell ?
kakobrekla: reasonable speed for '100000point travelling salesman' problem ?

mircea_popescu: the question is more like, suppose i give you piles of C N H O etc molar equivalent to the contents of a live creature,
mircea_popescu: this, in an ideal way, suppose you have Ontologizer, which makes be whatever molecular structure you describe.
jurov: that description would be *very* hefty
mircea_popescu: the archetypal "rather than explain your job to you i'd rather just do it"
jurov: question here was the other way, can wetware do turing stuff effectively?
kakobrekla: thats why they go the ibm synapse cpu way
jurov: "nah it cnat reliably multiply 5*7"
mircea_popescu: jurov perhaps more a "Can shit we need done be phrased such that wetware can do it better than the turing machine"
mircea_popescu: and for all the error-fiends : you can't correctly represent decimal numbers in computers today, it doesn't stop anyone from derping on the pretense computers are ideal machines.
