BingoBoingo: Breaking: Multiple Black people reportedly injured in several police raids, more to come once filtered by Pravda
shinohai: this is microsoft innovationz see
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell Vexual I'm sorry I've been ignoring you for months, but I've got to take my sobriety seriously if I want to live
shinohai had a dream that Vexual was really TradeFortress and was trolling us all.
BingoBoingo: Vexual doesn't sound asian enough, but who knows
BingoBoingo: Well, if burned by police while EU capital is under assault
BingoBoingo: That's the same conclusion I've had to reach
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But do these new ones process a bitcoin block in under 10 minutes?
PaulCapestany: BingoBoingo how does a L1 bitcoin-assets n00b like myself level-up to L2? (was looking on wiki, but haven't come across an explanation yet..)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just don't have anything that runs 'top' on it yet to my knowledge

PaulCapestany: asciilifeform reddit wars are dumb, agreed, but I got concerned when people like Rick Falkvinge were starting to post on r/bitcoin about how Bitcoin Classic was a good idea.. the misinformation and propaganda that had been going on seemed to have worked on some people
assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 18:06:37; punkman: lol Falkvinge, "If there's no profit to be made in using bitcoin as a drop-in replacement for credit card payments, bitcoin will not be deployed at scale. Deployment and outcompeting legacy systems depend entirely on merchant financial gains from rollout."
PaulCapestany: danielpbarron falkvinge has lotsa followers, and is supposed to be pro decentralization...
danielpbarron: there's relevant Eulora spash text : the worst thing you can wish on your enemy is that he gets lots of followers (or something like that, I'm paraphrasing)
PaulCapestany: people in here are generally anti-Classic I presume? would my supposed threat against Classic earn me any street cred (or WoT cred) here?
BingoBoingo: <PaulCapestany> people in here are generally anti-Classic I presume? would my supposed threat against Classic earn me any street cred (or WoT cred) here? << anti-Classic, anti-"Core" etc
PaulCapestany: BingoBoingo ah, yeah, ya'll have your own sorta stripped-down fork, correct? if I wanted to read up on the reasoning behind that, what'd be a good link?
BingoBoingo: And it isn't so much a fork as... "historical artifact conveying truth" (TM)(R)
mircea_popescu: PaulCapestany " would my supposed threat against Classic earn me any street cred (or WoT cred) here?" << link, something ?
mircea_popescu: lmao. so reddit is copying me on the quiet, forgets to link anything and is all "hey, we're cool" ?

PaulCapestany: that was just shitty "reporting" in the case of the article... I'm not a r/bitcoin mod, but I guess my 'claim to fame' was that I was co-organizer of a big bitcoin developer meetup in SF
mircea_popescu: and yes i imagine there's some cred to be had for doing that, but only in america.
mircea_popescu: well, if anyone here went to the thing that you organized and liked it, they might rate you, sure.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the bar for "conference organizer" as an identity pillar includes tits & gtfo and so on. it's a job dita von teese gets cred for, typically.
mircea_popescu: anyway. lulz at the entire "we'll talk about things in the vague and be all pretentious and shit" junior high ugly girl club thing. i'm so impressed i almost think the whole prb/mit/blabla crowd of shitheads is worth pissing on.

jurov: pete_dushenski: i did sell some btc to be paid to cryptolocker and there was an admin
jurov: but he complained he proposed to install seafile server (which I shown him to exist) that would work nicely with their windows boxes
jurov: but they did not want to pay for the work
pete_dushenski: i've also sold btc to 'it professional' who had client with cryptolocker. this was ~2 years ago though and i haven't heard any reports of a second or third hit.
pete_dushenski: though i have a tough time imagining that anything in terms of digital security has changed with either that client or his 'professional' since.
pete_dushenski: 'who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men' (tm) (r)
jurov: there are enough targets
pete_dushenski: once one target has coughed up danegeld, surely they'll continue
jurov: also, it's not "windows" thing. plenty of linux servers were backdoored, but there it's more profitable/convenient to resell the server resources that to extort the admin
pete_dushenski: wait, so hackers backdoor linux server and resell hosting on it, unbeknownst to the 'owner' of the box ?
jurov: yes, usually they "host" malware there
jurov: but server with good pipe has million uses
pete_dushenski: aha. anyways, for casinos specifically, it ~is~ a windows thing. at least for the operations around here.
jurov: you see - they are used to pay for licenses. whether to m$ or to extortionist, makes a little difference
☟︎ jurov: hm, that makes me wonder how many businesses are paying for such "protection" every month already
pete_dushenski: in most of the world, most. whether it's greasing the local mob or the local bureaucrat makes little practical difference. it's the way of the world.
pete_dushenski: this 'protection'/extortion business model could be just the gravity well extractor that guys like asciilifeform need. it can even be done from laptop on beach!
☟︎ jurov: but if your mobster has access to *all* your data and communication... that's another level
jurov: asciilifeform explicitly rejects anything he'd have to pay taxes from, that's lost cause
jurov: his professed utter inability to function as mobster aside
assbot: Story of cities #5: Benin City, the mighty medieval capital now lost without trace | Cities | The Guardian ... (
http://bit.ly/1Ui1xQ3 )
pete_dushenski: "Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.
pete_dushenski: Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”."
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Check your pending comments
pete_dushenski: 'lunix' also has etymology of 'luna', which maps well to those same fat-ass proportions
phf: pete_dushenski: lunix is of course jeff k tradition, and there's not much to it, besides arbitrary switching letters, but it helps that the result sounds durp
phf: i.e. I RUN LUNIX IS 1337 H4X0R I H4CK UUUU~~11
phf: i dunno if there's acceptable usage at this point, since the jeff k culture is long dead, in waves and waves and waves of eternal september
phf: (jeff k is of course a something awful spoof of a teenage script kiddie culture of late 90s, that in turn spun off 4chan culture. old fags remember, that early /b/ was essentially a bunch of snarky mofos pretending to be jeff k style idiots, which in turn eternally september into actual idiots acting like idiots, etc)

cazalla_: as for soda (fizzy drink tax), nfi about the UK, but that consumption of that has been on the decline here for years
cazalla_: i imagine obesity is more the result of icecream for breakfast than occasional coke
jurov: i knew people who drank liter or two of coke daily
BingoBoingo: The idiocracy guy was wrong here in the states. In future 'Murica carbonation will be "what plants crave"
pete_dushenski: cazalla_: better ice cream for breakfast than at midnight
cazalla_: jurov sure, but how common is that today? for example, coca cola amatil (aussie coke listed company) expanded into indonesia and it has been a disaster, no-one wants their shit
jurov: dunno about indonesia, in eastern europe very common. even my dad can't be convinced not to buy it
☟︎ pete_dushenski: bucharesti kid i know, bout my age, drinks 2l of coke per day. smokes pretty heavily too.
pete_dushenski: this is only seen in lower class canadians but is apparently perfectly reasonable in middle class romanians
jurov: cazalla_ is prolly surrounded by health-minded canucks.. but the cocacola revenue must have come from somewhere
BingoBoingo: jurov: Here I don't know that fountain sodas under a liter are sold anywhere
cazalla_: don't see how teh tax will change anything anyway, consumers will just pay it as no other option (sif they're gonna drink water)
jurov: they will switch to *blergh* sweeteners
cazalla_: i bought a stevia plant last year, not bad to nom nom on a few leaves when wanting something sugary
jurov: yes i like stevia too.. but for someone who is used to high sugar concentrations, stevia has unsavory taste
jurov: - good only if you want to sweeten a bit
