mircea_popescu: "something important happens when a previously privileged position in society suddenly sees incredibly demand that needs to be filled, using enormous quantities of manpower. that happened to programming computers about a decade ago, or maybe two. first, the people will no longer be super dedicated people, and they won’t be as skilled or even as smart — what was once dedication is replaced by greed and sometimes she
mircea_popescu: er need as the motivation to enter the field. second, an unskilled labor force will want job security more than intellectual challenges (to some the very antithesis of job security). third, managing an unskilled labor force means easy access to people who are skilled in whatever is needed right now, not an investment in people — which leads to the conclusion that a programmer is only as valuable as his ability to get
mircea_popescu: another job fast. fourth, when mass markets develop, pluralism suffers the most — there is no longer a concept of healthy participants: people become concerned with the individual “winner”, and instead of people being good at whatever they are doing and proud of that, they will want to flock around the winner to share some of the glory."

mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have a very good addition to b-a kako. it'd go like this : ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: 1. somewhere on b-a website there's a text form where people can submit random text up to say 16kb in length. this all goes into db. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: 2. once every 512 seconds, submitted text is checked. all that is clearsigned content by signatures in assbot's l2 gets bundled together, hashed and the hash is included in a special tx through which b-a pays 1 btc to itself with a decent miner fee
mircea_popescu: 3. once this tx gets 1 confirm, assbot makes an announcement here. "statements from mircea_popescu, mike_c, kakobrekla : b-a.com/registrar/blockxxx"
mircea_popescu: that way we have a quite useful registrar of deeds
mircea_popescu: if financing ever becomes a problem can always charge people who do over say 2 a month X btc for using it.
punkman: mircea_popescu: instead of sending 1btc back and forth, it should make a provably unspendable tx
mircea_popescu: why ?
punkman: less stuff in the blockchain
punkman: also miners don't have to keep it in the unspent transactions list
mircea_popescu: how is it less stuff in blockchain ?
mircea_popescu: also, check out this slut : http://38.media.tumblr.com/b416d816f341a5e8f9d709f89b2e0243/tumblr_n5sjuvtgBr1rdsufgo3_250.gif
mircea_popescu: we shall be seeing more of her during today.
mircea_popescu: punkman a tx is a tx, whether unspendable or not it's the same length no ?
punkman: I think the script is shorter for the unspendable tx
punkman: not having to keep it in unspent tx list is the more important part as I understand it
mircea_popescu: if that's true i doubt it's significant tbh
punkman: but not like you'll be making tons of them anyway
punkman: yeah
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
mircea_popescu: and i have mixed feelings on pruning and checkpoints
punkman: and in the interest of not writing things twice, assbot could send each bundle hash here http://www.proofofexistence.com/developers

mircea_popescu: i'm not checking some random site i never heard about fwiw.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's roughly the system you describe - it stores a hash of a document in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's missing two key ingredients, the most important one being - done by people i trust.
mircea_popescu: this notion that anyone can randomly decide they'll now develop things works fine for weblogs or w/e
fluffypony: the nice thing is that they have an API for storing and verifying
fluffypony: plus

mircea_popescu: this is just the offset. apparently you can't get special tints in digital
mircea_popescu: but i tell you by the way... i've seen some machinery on that hunt... this whole town's half a museum

nubbins`: i'd say one could dredge up some old letterpress machines down there if one had some time to kill
nubbins`: anyway, yeah, silkscreen beats digital when you get into poster sizing

nubbins`: now, there are back-stops you can use for consistency
nubbins`: but cuttong a 15x22" sheet down to business card size, you gotta keep moving the backstop
mircea_popescu: i got news for you : if your injet desktop printer prnts .1 off center, it also looks like shit
nubbins`: ^ this is true
nubbins`: best you could manage would be to get a stack cutter and slice a stack of sheets all at once
nubbins`: but it's all finicky work
