mircea_popescu: the demand for bitcoin usage from poor people remains scant.
mircea_popescu: hahaha check thios dude out : "Some of you may be aware of a project called "therealbitcoin" and some of its development history. Over the last few days I forked the project, dropped in the woodcoin genesis block, genesis merkle root, the skein woodcutting algorithm, the logarithmic supply curve, the relevant difficulty adjust parameters, and the magic header code:"
mircea_popescu: "I stuck it on a github repo, which includes a tarball of the code with detached signature. You can also grab it as a vpatch with seal if you like. You might see some nodes reporting version 77777; that's what it will claim to be if you run it without modification."
adlai: mircea_popescu: this is because today, bitcoin is useless for poor people, and will remain so, without a reasonably reliable write-cache
mircea_popescu: not so. it is extremely useful : it allows them to save.
mircea_popescu: that is the only social function poor people actually need : a path out of poverty.
adlai: you must not have met any truly poor people, but that's to be expected i guess?
mircea_popescu: that bitcoin allows the poor a venue to actually accumulate capital is really all that matters, for the well being of the world generally.
adlai has friends who can't afford to save bitcoin, because they buy useless shit (incl drugs, and music, and fancy food, etc) instead of "paying themselves first"
mircea_popescu: adlai you're not belabouring under the misapprehension that i expect all to be saved, are you ? the point is not that. the point is for there to be a way for the scant few who don't belong there to save themselves.
mircea_popescu: the poor in all times and places belong on a conveyor belt towards a woodchipper. it is however very important to have a readily accessible door out of the tunnel, for any thinking folk who accidentally fell in.
adlai is belaboring under the apprehension that mircea_popescu may have never tried to personally convince somebody poor - incredibly so! - to hoard btc
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this seems a deeply ignored point, all sorts of okcupid chicks honestly expect they'll be entertained just because well... they exist. ridoinculous.

If that laptop made you much more productive, you would still choose to make that purchase rather than saving. But it seems you don't really need that new la

adlai: seriously though, it's an edifying exercise to try and convince self-professed "btc people" that it's not worth their time to convince "non-self-professed btc people" (by my words, this time) to save via btc
adlai maintains that bitcoin can and should survive via increasing adoption among decreasing number of people

adlai: anybody who can make useful use of btc - has heard of it already. today. 2016.,

adlai: thestringpuller: but therein lies the rub. everywhere you go, you'll meet the exception that proves this rule.
thestringpuller: adlai: but wouldn't this mean that person had it "within themselves" to be saved in the first place?
thestringpuller: if it wasn't you another missionary would have done the job.
mircea_popescu: adlai nobody's trying to convince anyone. i also don't go around watering holes in africa trying to convince the animals to drink./

mircea_popescu: originally i registered the domain with namecheap ; originally namecheap was a great registrar. meanwhile they went to utter shit, the story is both on trilema an' in the logs.
copypaste: do you have a comment on the kimmoa.se article? i think it's spot on but you definitely know all the details already
mircea_popescu: so guy is pissed off and likes to call things names. fine.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, if half a mil is " you can just forget about that right away." to you, then on what the fuck is your expectation to participate in the workings of society based ?!
mircea_popescu: obviously EVERY naming system will work exactly like the dns, or like the wot works : either be at the table, or be a child looking for parents.
mircea_popescu: well, yes, because it wasn't made by idiots. but the fundamental point remains : someone excluded could re-use that article by re-writing 5 words.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact you can run a dns server right now, and tell everyone to use it, and for everyone who does use it... your version of the ns will be visible.
mircea_popescu: heck, there was a bitcoin-based thing that kinda worked on that premise. namecoin.
copypaste: oh sure, but you don't get to create names on the real DNS
copypaste: ICANN has given themselves authority to make new TLDs, ICANN has given themselves ultimate authority over names
mircea_popescu: well yes. your choices are : either have enough power / capiutal / value to acquire enough actual btc to matter in that world ; or else to get used to not mattering in the world ; or else to have even more power and force an alt into being.

adlai: maybe naming systems shouldn't be design around "investment" and flipping ownership each month!
adlai wasn't aware that there was one single blessed version, DNS is just the good-enough fiat leftover that we have today
mircea_popescu: this goes all the way down to actual working of language. do we power the ns that calls me racist and evil ? do we power the ns that calls tess d'urberville or w/e her name is fat and obama an idiot ?

mircea_popescu: "i want to use the dns for back-up, whenever what ~these~ people use doesn't contain an answer". seems pretty cool.
mircea_popescu: and incidentally, how the dns was actually designed to be used. the current centralist windowstardian webstupidity only works the way it works because of the userbase. the design is fine, but "everyone"| and "has come to expect" and bullshit like that make people pretend like a suboptimal local maximum is relevant to the graph. well... it ain't.

mircea_popescu: one of the most encouraging things about eulora's economy that i see myself is - i keep a running total of player cash and of player assets. and the latter has been a monotonously increasing function ever since forever. the appetite for materials seems outright insatiable.

mircea_popescu: considering it's been played for nigh on a year and people don't even know wtf those rules even are...
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: this insatiable need for materials will only increase when people start killing things and going to war etc.
thestringpuller: reminds me distinctly of star wars galaxies before Sony ruined the game.
mircea_popescu: of course, no major player quit yet. that's usually a principal source of excess goods
thestringpuller: cause "consumer has come to expect" but I don't think consumers will be problem for eulora
thestringpuller: but in essence eulora is more than a game, and more of a living world that people virtually inhabit
mircea_popescu: not so far. ironically... if you go by a timeplay metric, december saw 64722 player-hours, which is seriously more than what MOST games see.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, usual graphics intensive "AAA" title has what, 50 hours in it ? if not 30.
thestringpuller: the time sinks in those games are relative unfortunately because it's more effective to leave player wanting more, thus AAA publisher forces studio to make another game
thestringpuller: diminishing returns can get really dull after say 80 hours into a game with only 50 hours of story
thestringpuller: as a side note, I know a player with 300 days of playtime on FFXI. Although it's been out since 2002-2003ish
mircea_popescu: eulora record is actually a guy with 13919282 connecterd time.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the first accounts are from early june, so "nigh on a year" ain'\t really fair. half year.
jurov: what does DNS-replacement-by-v need to be done? just take your /etc/hosts, sign and publish, no?
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i did notice it tends to suck people in. not everyone, but some people.
mircea_popescu: jurov im thinking more like a rotor script to build a local hosts out of, maybe, deedbotted things ?
☟︎ thestringpuller: Eulora has deep gameplay, which creates emergent phenomenon which is by design. The real interesting thing is mircea_popescu has figured out how to do this without spending a million a dollars.
PeterL: BingoBoingo, My current lab is not set up to handle anything as dangerous as FOOF, would need a few kBTC to get something like that set up
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the thing is, the meta-game is incredibly rich and very rewarding. usually the problem with making a game, as an enthusiast, is that fucking hell you know it so it's at best half as fun.
mircea_popescu: but because of the metagame this doesn't actually hold here. much to my satisfaction.

mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it oughta, but it can run without it too, and it's seemingly easy enough to get started.
mircea_popescu: the advantage of prototyping is that most major issues you will spend time working on, you encounter AFTER you're done designing.

mircea_popescu: the reference was to explain to copypaste why he can't have both worlds / what the use of current dns arrangement is.

ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i can't speak for others, but i was always ok with '6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452 likes to call himself mircea_popescu so why not'
ascii_butugychag: the whole 'memorable centralized names' thing is inherently statal.
mircea_popescu: sure. but i do notice he never registered 6F12EC72A82ABCA35235063A10DDC983901AA183.co
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - if anyone here remembers the ancient discussion re naming services, which is how qntra ended up with that name at least in part - this system would be a necessarily optimal solution to that problem. it'd guarantee you need the minimum possible stroke count to get your desired destination.
ascii_butugychag: he probably also never drove a cart hitched to a pack of stray dogs
mircea_popescu: it'd also guarantee you wouldn't recognize it, but hey.)
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag and there's no argument considered or offered that it's not statal. the discussion is that under some circumstances it is advantageous.
mircea_popescu: iirc i even said - what that guy complains of, we'd also do.
ascii_butugychag: aha i just got off a city train, likewise inherently statal, and advantageous

mircea_popescu: "A few take it one step further by initiating violence in hopes of acting as a catalyst for this war. Timothy McVeigh’s goals, for example, weren’t just to murder 168 people, bring down a symbolic building, and punish the government for its role in the standoffs at Waco and Ruby Ridge. He wanted to make his mark in history by providing the Patriot movement with the spark that would light the fires of revolution.
mircea_popescu: Ironically, the Sovereign movement is made up of highly paranoid people who tend to believe that every violent act in recent history is a “false flag” operation set in motion by the evil government, so the odds of such an event triggering a Revolution are quite slim."
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i finally got to the bottom of the shocking absence of anyone but caucasians from argentina (it is, literally, the whitest place on earth, up there with romania and i guess montana)
mircea_popescu: older folk explained it to me. back when they had their various wars, they confronted paraguayans at some point, and managed to sell the slaves on the theory that black men make the best warrirors for which reason they must take the first lines.

mircea_popescu: so atm, as a working theory : the correct working of the nosuchdns script would be a) look in sigils directory and build list of sigils ; b) look in repository (where ?) for what's signed by the sigils ; c) create a sort -u list of the aformenentioned and dump it in hosts as > ratrher thjan >> ?
ascii_butugychag: (e.g., you don't know EXACTLY bitwise what you want at a step)
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 what'd be your definition/specificiation for the concept of sigil ? << by definition, for me its a cryptographic signature (embossment) of a given input.

ascii_butugychag: (at least for now, at some point folks might start using lattice or even, fuck, lamport signatures)

trinque: mkay, how are you going to get gcc shitting consistently then?
ascii_butugychag: for so long as the crud gets put there, you don't have deterministic build
ascii_butugychag: not same binary? won't hash correctly, flow graph cannot proceed.
trinque: yes, having a make target fail when a hash fails is a good idea
ascii_butugychag: you can think of this idea as a more fascist version of 'make'
trinque: moves the built target out of the way if it fails
ascii_butugychag: presently, 'make' only cares that a particular file name comes to exist

mircea_popescu: yet all the wires being in the hand of hitler doth make you take an interest in gossipds.
ascii_butugychag: but since it was referred to, i assumed mircea_popescu was thinking of the idea.
ascii_butugychag: (on my own desk, it is more than an idea, but this is not official yet)
phf: as far as i understand, the point is to walk with mp to his vantage point to see something or other. for example that the railroad runs from hitlertown to the work camps. pretty sure he'll just be delighted if you invited him to your own private railroad that goes from your living quarters to your wineries.
mircea_popescu: (this has in point of fact been measured, and stands as such)
ascii_butugychag: when mircea_popescu calculates for own reckoning, does he use roman notation? if not, why not?
mircea_popescu: believe it or not, latin numeral calculation IS actually possible. and they had all sorts of tricks, too
mircea_popescu: more's the point : when you calculate for your own reckoning, do you use inches or milimeters ?
ascii_butugychag: actually like most folks living in usa who do any machine work, i own two sets of everything.
phf: what's wrong with a moscato anyway? :o

jurov: "I need your agreement in order to republish your contributions under the MIT license. The reason for relicensing Electrum is two-fold: firstly, we want to make Electrum more attractive to developers looking to integrate lightweight Bitcoin functionality into their systems, and a more permissive license is helpful in this regard."
jurov: "Secondly, we want to release a new version of Electrum for mobile devices and tablets. In order to make Electrum available in various app stores (such as Microsoft's Windows Store or Apple's App Store) we cannot keep the restrictive GPL license, as publishing Electrum on some of these stores may break the terms of the GPL."
jurov: gpl stuff can't be in appstore, rly?
BingoBoingo: <jurov> gpl stuff can't be in appstore, rly? << Ya Rly
guruvan: you not a fan of MIT license mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: but it seems par for the course. all the pimply faced wanna-be bill gates business majors know how to do anymore is cast out a net for suckers, wait until the rate of catch stops, and then try to spin it off and sell it.
mircea_popescu: so everything starts as gpl, welcomes any sucker foss head to contribute, then "progresses" to a mit license and hey, maybe apple wants to buy it!
jurov: probably not. but my contribution was like, 5 lines.
mircea_popescu: it's shameful. if you're going to prostitute yourself, at least do the world a favour and do it in istanbul, in the nude, in the dedicated quarter for ephebs
mircea_popescu: and i'm one of the few guys that publicly burned the coran.
guruvan: well...that's just gonna mean they don't like you :-
mircea_popescu: wake me up when your imperial/european drill bits produced a robot that routed the usg at tikrit.
ascii_butugychag: usg 'fought' to churn inventory and guarantee lockheed et al earmarks.
jurov: "Hello, thanks for asking, but I refuse to change the license of my contribution. I cannot with clear conscience recommend a Bitcoin wallet with closed source modifications. Would you use one yourself, really?"
jurov: ^ mi rather mild-mannered reply
mircea_popescu: might even make a good qntra piece. this sort of miserable behaviour needs some castigation.,
mircea_popescu: fucking emblematic of the new usa : "1. hey, we're trying to save the world, help us ; 2. hey, the rate at which new people join to help us dropped off so now we'll build an oil refinery instead, maybe shell wants to buy one!"
mircea_popescu: fuck you with a fucking stick, who the heck is supposed to fall for this ?
mircea_popescu: same fucking thing with "bitcoin dev companies", however many different groups are running this scam by now.

jurov: <Tribaal> [20151130 17:23] ThomasV: How so? If my fork steals your wallet, I would be pretty sure you'd mind :)
jurov: <ThomasV> [20151130 17:24] that's my point. I think nobody would use a closed source fork
jurov: i'm tired and want sleep, whoever is doing qntra, can have it
