mod6: you should be able to drop those patches into your patches directory for V, and then also put the seals in your seals dir -- once that's complete doing `./v.pl f` should show you a flow with those patches in there with 'asciilifeform' as the signatory.

mod6: <+BingoBoingo> So do you press head, press other head, etc or something else << no, you can just up through a given vpatch in the flow.
BingoBoingo: But I mean to get the next head do you just repeat pressing with a different head or???
BingoBoingo: So if there are three heads I want I'd press 3 times
mod6: just one press at a time. choose a new output dir to ensure clean press.
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> So if there are three heads I want I'd press 3 times << no should just be able to choose the last one in the flow output

☝︎ assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 00:15:32; mircea_popescu: if the company you manage behaves as an approximation of a cockroach, your wife needs a divorce.
mod6: was thinking that. could just have a switch for "classic" mode where you get the 50/50 action on high/low, or only low-S.
mircea_popescu: (this can be tacked on at the end, the protocol is really that shitty)
mod6: is there a reason for only high-S ?
mod6: ok, other than that?
mod6: but, i'd be nice to ship a bitcoinatron that actually bitcoinates without the weird shit. i'd like Mr. P. to be able to send coins without issues.
mod6: so here's a thing -- if I make a vpatch for this, one doesn't need to build with it either. but one could, and that should resolve the issue.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun think you understand how this works.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "you do yours and i do mine" thing here. IF we decide to mine as much as one single high s block, this INVALIDATES all further work of all noncompliant miners. forever.
mircea_popescu: we currently can at any point revert to high-s, or any-s.
mircea_popescu: yes, they did, that's what the "soft fork" debacle was all about.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin split specificallyt because miners "voted" to approve the (non controversial, even here, see logs) patch
mircea_popescu: then mined a block with high-s and the whole shebang was forked for 36 hours
mircea_popescu: this is why we do not give a rat;s ass about "voting", fundamentally : they already had a vote that indicated ~100% miner agreement that then had 0% actual support.
mircea_popescu: and incidentally - if it weren't cheaper to implement than to just forget it, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED
mircea_popescu: anyway, understand the strategic situation here. i can, at this and any future point, decide to revert this soft fork. they can not, they are committed to forever sticking to it.
mircea_popescu: they can be applied by convention. as the chance is still valid by everyone's rule, no changes are needed.
mircea_popescu: hard forks are a change of the protocol. as the change is NOT valid by everyone's rules, it is definitionally an alt coin.
mircea_popescu: generally the reason power rangers keep wanting to hide the chain and the validation mechanisms is simply that
mircea_popescu: their version of bitcoin is not actually valid as per the bitcoin protocol.
mircea_popescu: barely hangs on by a mix of "grandfathering" and "don't look in this box", much like the usg that spawned them.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, building atop that shit is an excursion in insanity, which is why ONLY usg-financed "companies" do it (in the sense of pretending to do anything besides hiring more ustards and eating rubber chickens at "conferences")
ben_vulpes: i do not see the point at all in differentiating between txnen-which-are-relayed and txn-which-are-mined
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you seem to be operating on the delusional notion miners user prb ?!
mircea_popescu: for some reason the whole high/low S thing is part and parcel of this in my head.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is something we can experiment with once someone picks up the pool thing ?
mircea_popescu: see, miner that sees high-S tx can either reject it, or just low-S it.
mircea_popescu: i currently send both kinds, and the mined blocks include the low-ified S all the time.
mircea_popescu: that's how "states" are built, you're supposed to be aped by the awesome power of this imaginary thing that lo! it makes whole rafts of bitches to absurd shit like this
mircea_popescu: but "everyone" does it. and you want to be just like everyone, don't you ?
mircea_popescu: tits are for older boys, like they had in pre-nazi germany.
mircea_popescu: for the raft of 3yos the us is infested with, tits yet hold a different meaning than ravishment.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i would suppose that is "child porn" by today's standards, right ? buncha fourteen year olds in clingwrap tops.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to fully formulate the impedance mismatch here, because on reread this isn't satisfactory. suppose you have a chain of blocks, B1...Bn. suppose you also have a chain (different concepts) of txn , T1...Tm.
mircea_popescu: all miners, whether they be S-indiscriminate or S-selective can mine T1 necessarily. the latter as is ; the former as T1 in 50% of cases and as T1' in the remainder cases, where T1' = C-T1
mircea_popescu: should T1' be mined, then T2...TN is now invalid, and will have to be resent.
mircea_popescu: it's true that this costs S-indiscriminate miners the txn fees of T2-Tn, but
mircea_popescu: a) the expectation is, as you've seen, that i'll get an accountant out of bed and on my own dime fix the mess power rangers made because hey, why not, it's a decentralized protocol which means some idiots break it and the world fixes it
mircea_popescu: however more importantly b) there is NO WAY for neutral-S miners to profit from T2-Tn as-is.
mircea_popescu: so yet another aspect of the well familiar by now disaster of commons
mircea_popescu: but i must an' gladly do commend your stubborn insistence because yeah in fact i was conflating two things in mah head.

mircea_popescu: punkman the whole thing of even having black people in star wars. seriously ? the retcon of all time.
mircea_popescu: "oh black people always existed, we just didn't film any back in the 60s."
fluffypony: Billy Dee Williams (who played Lando Calrissian) was in Empire Strikes Back and in Return of the Jedi
mircea_popescu: so the retcon forks off episode V rather than episode I ? or wait... actually this franchise starts midway does it ?
mircea_popescu: i guess that's what i get for commenting on stuff i never bothered to actually see.
shinohai: I skipped the Jar-Jar awfulness. I have seen first 3 movies and the latest
mircea_popescu: mmkay so : Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope being the 1977 & first release of the thing, has no black people in it. does it ?
shinohai: I don't recall. Don't think so unless it is a background character.
mircea_popescu: "Star Wars was released theatrically in the United States on May 25, 1977. It earned $461 million in the US and $314 million overseas, totaling $775 million. It surpassed Jaws (1975) to become the highest-grossing film of all time; its gross was later surpassed by that of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When adjusted for inflation as of 2013" << check it out, there was inflation since the 80s ?!
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do these people still bitch about it then ?!

mircea_popescu has no idea who any of these people are, googles the latter, he looks about as black as wesley snipes wtf.

mircea_popescu: i dun think it would have "count"-ed for the same people.
shinohai: Samuel L Jackson kills in th the new Hateful Eight movie.

fluffypony: but they had a bunch of aliens, so it's a dumb argument
fluffypony: "there weren't enough Gungans in the original trilogy!"
shinohai: I liked Four Rooms, but that was only co-produced.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well moreover it's only relevant in the sense of fan service commentary. "oh, really, it just so happened all your bridge bunnies were 180 and freshly laid off the siegfried follies ? fancy that coincidence into the future!"
punkman: episode 4 had one black person, then the added a bunch more in 5 and 6
mircea_popescu: "oh, you made a movie in 2010 and there's a buncha black dudes in it ? how considerate of you, where were you in 1952!"
fluffypony: punkman: Lando Calrissian was the only memorable on-screen black character, tho
fluffypony: but in a movie where a small green hobbit-creature is a major star, I don't know if that counts

Atomicat: PeterL: What is a TRB mining pool?
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of non-compliant or vaguely compliant mining pools out there.
mircea_popescu: the idea'd be to have an actually compliant pool, for once.
mircea_popescu: (not that pools are such a bright idea in the first place, but sadly this is a dropped ball we can't so far fix)
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: I have a good programming background and might be interested in running a pool if I can offer something other pools doesn't
mircea_popescu: Atomicat the best avenue for you would be to register in the wot and spend half year or so reading hte logs to get up to speed.
PeterL: Atomicat, it would be a mining pool run using the same rule as TRB (the real bitcoin)
PeterL: iiuc, the current reference implementation of trb does not support pooled mining, so somebody would have to port the current trb ruleset into a mining pool program
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: anyway, maybe all this "soft-fork" bullshit is really a good opportunity to start a #b-a mining pool.
Atomicat: Sorry for asking too many questions but what's a #b-a pool?
PeterL: same thing, different name
PeterL: #b-a is this group, which is where trb is developed
PeterL: although, somebody outside this group could pick up trb and start their own pool, so I guess it is not exactly the same thing
mircea_popescu: "the differences, while present, are not yet important"
PeterL: #b-a mining pool implies it is run by people within the #b-a WoT, trb pool implies it follows the rules set forth in trb
PeterL: as far as we know, we are the only people using trb?
mircea_popescu: PeterL this is a public channel. for obvious security reasons trb is a superset thereof.
PeterL: <mircea_popescu> pretty much thinking like a scientist. << is there any other way to think?
Atomicat: I will look into this later today. What are the rules set forth in TRB?
mircea_popescu: brace yourself, while derps derped on tardstalk etc, a LOT of work went on towards actual bitcoin, and so there's a lot of catch up to do.
PeterL: there is a mailing list, on the website mircea_popescu linked, and most of it is discussed in these logs
Atomicat: V? What's the difference between Bitcoin Core and TRB? Does it use the same blockchain?
mircea_popescu: v is a signature-based versioning system and other things.

Atomicat: mircea_popescu: I really appriciate it.
thestringpuller: DerpUnion: bitcoin mining is a black hole, as in you'll never get the BTC out you put into miners unless you can do some voodoo. Even if electricity cost was 0, you'd still have trouble paying off the miners themselves unless you have direct access to $foundry
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the strange with bitcoin is that mining is ALWAYS a market in which supracapacity exists, for the odd reason that mining is a ~0 demand activity, which is altogether a concept unknown in economy so far.
mircea_popescu: what happens is that the same nominal amount will be distributed to all producers uniformly by lottery, no matter the volume of production.
mircea_popescu: that there exists no marginal demand created by production increase nor any demand destroyed by production shortages makes the situation quite peculiar.
thestringpuller: This is why you get stories of people investing in mining and holding BTC until price escalates then sell portion to get net profit. But bear market has prevented that for the past 1.5-2 years
mircea_popescu: there IS the implicit fiat short where you finance your mining with [tax deductible] fiat losses, and maintain your profits in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: which is the primary driver for the extreme run-up in hashing we've been experiencing the past coupla years.
thestringpuller: i had a theory the "profitable" miners (ones that got in early before major difficulty increase vis-a-vis jgarzik getting first avalon miner and paying it off in 1 month), will drop the price to push other miners offline.
mircea_popescu: i don't trust jgarzik's ability to correctly account for a business venture, for one thing.
mircea_popescu: "old miners" do what you say in cases such as saudi arabia cutting prices to sink obama's hopes of reindustrializing the us, sure. but note that there's a strong "god-given" element to this : the saudis didn't BUILD those oil deposits.
mircea_popescu: in a sense they're stuck with them. much like a preppy kid that's stuck with his parents house.
mircea_popescu: the other kids in school'd BETTER think his dad's house is cool, or else he stands to lose a lot. so he has a vested interest in having the sluttier chicks in class over by his pool each weekend, that other kids in better situations don't.

PeterL: maybe? alf and mircea I copied key off net and into file, they show up fine in v list, the other two I imported into gpg key and then exported to a file
PeterL: did gpg --export mess something up?
PeterL: anyway, I am off to get dinner, will check back in later sometime
adlai wonders whether qntra would be a better venue than deeds for summaries; it has the advantage of requiring review and implying approval, rather than merely inviting sha256 and best-effort backup
trinque: it's certainly more an editorial/publishing concern than mere archival
BingoBoingo: Qntra is the wrong place for log "summaries," News that happens in the logs yes. General summmaries of X period in the logs no. The complete logs are their own canon.
adlai: quidquid editore dictum est, sic fiat
BingoBoingo: Is that getting wrapped into a trilema post?
BingoBoingo: You say that now, but tomorrow circumstances will demand it or something.
BingoBoingo: adlai: Cliff notes are not reading shakespeare, even if the kid passes the classroom test. Even a quality summary is at best merely an aid useful for assisting a thrid or fourth rereading of the actual canon material.
mircea_popescu: in my mind at least, "summary" has merged much closer to re-threadify.
mircea_popescu: sort-of how philosophy is studied both historically and thematically. the log is historical, but there should prolly be a thematic repository
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> You say that now, but tomorrow circumstances will demand it or something. << wait, wut ?!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: At some point you are surely going to find occasion to include that amateur whore in a Trilema. It will be the exact derp to properly explain some other derp who needs a good shiting on.
mircea_popescu: should that happen, which seems improbable, i'll just... fish another one ?
BingoBoingo: That's how USG works, just fishing new Hearnias everytime the dumber power rangers rig up a fresh truss to pretend the last one wasn't a problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i thought you meant you wanted to use it or something.

BingoBoingo: Ah no. I jsut suspected you might be writing a post. Then when you said it wasn't going into a post decided to jinx it.
BingoBoingo: You've never covered anything enough on Trilema. This is a serious optimization problem.

adlai: "can read source and figure out wtf it does and why" is almost as sybil-resistent as PoW
adlai would guess that it's a little early for an RFC, but has no readily available data about the time-in-market for RFCed technology
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9402 @ 0.0005028 = 4.7273 BTC [+]
adlai still things that !s S.MPOE would be more useful in deedbot than log.b-a
adlai: assbot isn't 100% correct, but this is fixable

adlai wonders whether a sign of 'Bitcoin Mecca' will be legislating that taxable income must be delivered in local fiat, without actually making non-fiat payment illegal as incentive, enticement, teasing, etc
adlai: the fiat gov signing such a law signs its own expiration warrant, but the average legislator probably isn't smart enough to be reading the logs
