00:08 decimation yeah the IEEE thing seems to be more academi-tardation. quantum neuro whatever buzzword
00:08 decimation why can't folks simply "re-imagine" the legos they have in front of them?

00:08 asciilifeform http://www.loper-os.org/?p=231
00:08 assbot Loper OS » Third Law of Sane Personal Computing
00:09 asciilifeform note that the hardware aspect of this is trivially achievable today
00:09 asciilifeform without exotic vlsi versions of magnetic core memory, at that.
00:09 decimation indeed a static global address space that is persistant and usable would be a reasonable project
00:09 asciilifeform but you gotta ditch post-1970 os crapola to take actual advantage.
00:10 asciilifeform that means all of it.

00:12 asciilifeform decimation: you must really think about this to understand the implications. a single-address space machine must... actually work. every time - because it can in no sense be rebooted.
00:12 asciilifeform (no distinction between disk and memory)
00:12 decimation the cache can be refreshed
00:12 decimation but presumably the OS comes on an EPROM
00:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i imagine rebooting = pulling memory out
00:13 asciilifeform it's not orthogonally persistent if this actually does something useful
00:13 asciilifeform (when was the last time you pulled your disk's cache sram out?)
00:13 mircea_popescu yes well. marketingis not intended to be that hard semantically.
00:14 unbalanced Don't I need 2 hit points? Or just the one?
00:14 justusranvier There could be dedicated areas in the memory space that could be hardware wiped, and operations resumed from a hardcoded address. That would be like a reboot.
00:14 mircea_popescu even the most accomplished anal insertion artist, who can take ANYTHING would not survive a parachute-less parachute fall
00:14 asciilifeform justusranvier: this is what's on your desk now, essentially.
00:14 mircea_popescu even if theoretically the planet is part of "everything"
00:14 asciilifeform orthogonal persistence is something quite else.
00:14 decimation ascii I imagine your dataflow machine as a collection of various calculating state machines, called into existence for various purposes when needed
00:15 asciilifeform decimation: think 'emulation of room-sized fpga' and you're 90 percent there.
00:15 decimation if you had such a beast, you just peek and poke at its inputs/outputs, it wouldn't really have an address space

00:17 asciilifeform decimation: you don't need an address space as such if anything that might conceivably need to communicate with, e.g., keyboard, has an actual (matrix switched) electrical connection with it.
00:18 asciilifeform that is, there is no reason why, say, garbage collector circuit (yes) needs to be able to request a byte from my keyboard buffer.
00:18 asciilifeform just as you presently cannot dereference a pointer to your disk's sram cache
00:18 asciilifeform and you live with this
00:19 asciilifeform the brain-damage of the 'address space' concept is inescapable on a von neumann arch
00:19 asciilifeform but if you have the option of doing the last 35 yrs. of hardware again - you can toss it.
00:19 decimation in the end, you would only need the "address space" for permanant storage

00:20 asciilifeform only the circuit that marshalls state from the independent modules (e.g. keyboard buffer) to magnetic storage needs to know that it's a disk, and comes in 0...N 'LBA' blocks, etc.
00:21 asciilifeform if you have the magnetic ram (actually available commercially, no need to wait for hp) you can dispense with the disk.
00:22 asciilifeform and build the actual state in fpga out of same.
00:22 decimation using magnetic ram for each of the LUT modules?
00:22 asciilifeform correct
00:22 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2394 @ 0.00082887 = 1.9843 BTC [-]
00:22 asciilifeform not just the LUT config, but the block ram
00:22 decimation I'm surprised HP isn't trying to build an fpga with precisely this
00:23 asciilifeform ideally you would have some means for linearly pissing state out to a cheap disk

00:48 mike_c ThickAsThieves: thanks for the dump
00:49 unbalanced Hey, I took that dump. That's my dump! But thanks for the later-ing ThickAsThieves.
00:49 mike_c hehe, then thank you too
00:49 unbalanced Heh. You said "dump". Heh.
00:50 unbalanced Regret voicing me yet?
00:50 mike_c not yet. what kind of diff change are you trying to get this period?
00:50 unbalanced I figure that the -25% to -50% range is desirable, as long as it doesn't fall so far someone can't easily spike it up 4x again.
00:51 unbalanced But really, "easily" is a relative term so this may be a fool's errand.

00:52 mike_c yeah. i don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I do think it's worth trying.
00:53 mircea_popescu unbalanced its perfectly uneconomical to try and kill the coin already.
00:53 thestringpuller i kinda wanna mine ATC...
00:53 thestringpuller seems fun, like a glimpse in the past...
00:53 mike_c i don't worry about the coin dying, but +80%/-80% diff changes are annoying.
00:54 unbalanced thestringpuller, you too can live the dream!
00:54 thestringpuller call it Crypto Trail
00:54 mircea_popescu mike_c they don't seem to be hurting anything tho do they ?
00:54 mike_c they do to me.
00:55 mircea_popescu unbalanced so in th end how much did you end up paying per atc trying to mine ?
00:55 mircea_popescu mike_c how ?
00:55 mike_c having a block an hour does not feel optimal.
00:55 unbalanced The diff is still unfolding so I don't have a final number yet. I haven't wanted to calculate it or I might stop.
00:56 mike_c i ran the numbers, but I won't tell if you don't want to know :)
00:56 unbalanced thestringpuller, by "dump" mike_c meant a pastebin link somewhere above, detailing how to use leaserig.net to employ mining rigs on demand.
00:57 mircea_popescu mike_c sotell me then :D
00:57 unbalanced See also #altcoin... that channel needs new blood.
00:57 * unbalanced closes his eyes
00:58 mike_c it's like we have discussed before. it affects merchants. it's not as easy to move coin around. this makes little difference for the occasional user, but 1 hour block time on average means sometimes 2+ hours for a block.
00:59 unbalanced Rough back-of-the-envelope I'd say 400 satoshis per ATC if I'm lucky. Is that what you got mike_c or am I off by an order of magnitude?
00:59 mike_c i got 371
00:59 unbalanced Profit!
01:00 mircea_popescu mike_c what merchants ?!
01:00 mike_c and i ran the numbers before btc diff went up, so it could be better
01:00 mike_c cuz the miners should have dropped in price.
01:00 mike_c mircea_popescu: x-bt for one. is satoshijack still around? plus possibly some other merchants in development.
01:01 mircea_popescu mike_c haven't heard from the satoshijack dude in a long time
01:01 unbalanced Yes, I guess a tslb of >1hr only matters if the coin is moving around more than once an hour. Or day.
01:02 mircea_popescu i really don't see th econcern. if anything, slow txn are good for a coin, they keep the people in a hurry at bay
01:02 mircea_popescu the only folk it really hurts are speculators, of the redditard type
01:02 mike_c JD wouldn't be happy if gamblers had to wait 1-2 hours to deposit money
01:03 mircea_popescu mike_c would you take the jd gamblers to dinner ?
01:03 unbalanced You know MP, I'm testing my ATC wallet. Could you send me all your ATC, and then I'll send it back?
01:03 mike_c mircea_popescu: i would not, but i'd gladly take their coin.
01:03 unbalanced Purely routine. Just a test. No, no need to read the fine print. Just sign here.
01:04 unbalanced See, with ATC you can relive the early days of BTC!
01:04 mike_c like i said, i don't think this is any kind of life & death thing. it's smoothing out an annoyance.

09:00 mircea_popescu speaking of negative cock thickness, so the good folk here don't fucking import condoms.

09:00 mircea_popescu cue me in pharmacy with womenz in tow looking askew at the two mds there, with a stupid novelty ladden package onthe counter. "what are trhese!?!?"
09:01 mircea_popescu so in the end i order research on condoms. answer comes out that the only half decent brand is "prime"
09:01 mircea_popescu imagine, i could scribble "numbers" under it and be a real geek fucking.

09:01 mircea_popescu but anyway, so i go buy one of each type, and as chance would have it i first try the tyhing called "anatomical"
09:01 mircea_popescu that thing...
09:01 mircea_popescu that thing is so narrow i couldn't fit any part of it in there.
09:02 mircea_popescu fucking clitoris condom
09:02 mircea_popescu who the hell knew "anatomical" is condom codeword for "i have a very small icepick"
09:02 nubbins` twist: it's a combination condom/cock ring

09:07 nubbins` wait, i thought the withholding hashes thing didn't work because of nonces or some sort of math shit

09:09 nubbins` OHHHH, sorry, i misunderstood
09:09 nubbins` i thought they were saving up valid hashes to blow their wad all at once
09:09 nubbins` not the case at all
09:09 mircea_popescu davout the guy is a legit miner, but perhaps not too acquainted with logic. they're not detectable, they're susceptionable.
09:10 Mats_cd03 mircea_popescu: i like that...i wouldn't know what to select for a proposition, though
09:10 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 37050 @ 0.00082043 = 30.3969 BTC [-] {2}
09:10 mircea_popescu (if they actually were detectable they'd logically be prevetnable too)
09:10 mircea_popescu Mats_cd03 me either tbh
09:11 davout to me it sounds retarded to confiscate such an amount on a suspicion, especially when the suspected attacker has no economic incentive to be attacking in the first place
09:11 mircea_popescu "My guess is that they never expected to get caught and suffer income loss as a result of their attack. But, once they were caught, I put a filter in place to block them from the payout queue (similar to the block on known MtGox addresses). Eligius’s offline wallet now has roughly 200 BTC work credits held from the payout queue under the attacker's addresses, that we have stopped them from stealing."
09:11 Vexual well the other 50% prevents it, and as you tend to 100%, it becomes unprofitable
09:11 mircea_popescu so elegius is stealing from some miner they had an argument with.
09:11 Vexual how godly
09:11 mircea_popescu why the fuck would someone keep a 200 btc balance, and esp with elegius, is beyong me.
09:12 Mats_cd03 Kurds create sovereign state recognized by majority of nations by 2015?
09:12 mircea_popescu "When they noticed, weeks later, they contacted us complaining. We asked them to sign messages to verify they were in fact in control of the addresses in question including asking them to include a real name and location in the signed message, refusing to discuss it until they had done so"
09:12 mircea_popescu herpy derp. so basically don't mine with elegius and that's that.
09:12 davout Luke-Jr: what's with that?
09:12 davout !up Luke-Jr
09:12 mircea_popescu "It has unofficially been decided that if it came down to it, Eligius would shut down before being forced to pay any attacker of any kind any amount whatsoever."
09:13 mircea_popescu o look, it's also closing ? isn't this one of the oldest pools still (sort-of) standing ?
09:13 kakobrekla elegius deceiving users? wouldn't be the first time.
09:13 mircea_popescu "P.S. - This is unrelated to any of the stats issues that have occurred. (Server migration for the new web server is still under way…)"
09:13 dub inb4: I'd explain but you wouldnt understand
09:14 mircea_popescu well the more persuasive explanation is, elegius fucked up a server upgrade (on its sole server, if you don't count an old backup box which is never live anyway), lost some user's accounts
09:14 kakobrekla how much CP does 200btc buy Luke-Jr ?
09:14 mircea_popescu and is now going into uberderpage mode to cover it up

09:15 mircea_popescu ns oh well...Great job on running the pool WK!! couldn't ask for a better pool op"
09:15 mircea_popescu these people should vote, seriously. then we'd finally have real democracy, when nothing and nobody prevents these people from giving their "opinion" on how public affairs should be run
09:15 mircea_popescu and we'll all be happy and everything plentiful and good.

09:17 nubbins` ah
09:17 mircea_popescu the even more logical conclusion : there's some miner going around with 32 bit hardware, that's unable to correctly handle 64 bit nonces
09:17 mircea_popescu and so doesn't submit the winning block half the time it finds it, and doesn't care to fix his hardware.

09:19 fluffypony kakobrekla: like 1 company per employee?
09:19 kakobrekla yep
09:19 Vexual neato
09:20 mircea_popescu kakobrekla because they want the low tax
09:20 mircea_popescu they get 20k euro per corp or so, if they make one per employee that's a 400k deduction

09:25 mircea_popescu this is why i say the thing sucks and shouldn't be used.
09:26 mircea_popescu makes it too damned easy for anyone to arbitrarily reject signs, which goes entirelky against the fucking point of a signature in the first place.

09:47 nubbins` hmm
09:47 bitcoinpete lol someone's chipper this morning
09:48 nubbins` i wonder will these SR coins auction for below or above market rate
09:49 bitcoinpete nubbins`: the sr coins will go for market rate because they are market rate
09:49 bitcoinpete more or less
09:49 bitcoinpete limited by only being accessible to us citizens and whatnot
09:49 mircea_popescu nubbins` the announced price will be under market rate. the "winner" will not actually have to pay anything, but will have to support usg policy.
09:49 nubbins` hm, i woulda put my money on above market rate
09:49 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete they're not limited to being accessible to us citizens. they're limited to being accessible to that one corp that makes the most convincing case it'll be useful.
09:50 nubbins` there's gotta be at least a few financial institutions/hedge funds/whatever that want btc but don't want to purchase from a foreign exchange, guy on the street, etc
09:50 mircea_popescu nubbins` so make a bitbet. "the announced price of the usms sale will be under market rate at that time"
09:50 bitcoinpete mircea_popescu i'd love to be the one reading those proposals
09:50 nubbins` i just may

09:51 nubbins` so, now's their chance
09:51 fluffypony mircea_popescu: is the auction not based on price alone?
09:51 mircea_popescu nubbins` no, it's not.
09:51 bitcoinpete "we promise to use these bitcoins to finance libraries for coindeskers"
09:51 mircea_popescu fluffypony it's not bnased on th price at all. the fuck does the usg need 50mn
09:51 fluffypony that's fucking retarded.
09:51 mircea_popescu no it's not.
09:51 mircea_popescu it's the usg laundering its ill gotten bitcoins.
09:51 bitcoinpete "we promise to use these bitcoin to finance roads to hawaii"
09:51 fluffypony no I don't mean from there perspective
09:51 mircea_popescu through a "sale" to a "private" party.
09:52 nubbins` ah
09:52 mircea_popescu anyway, they'll announce it as somewhat under market.
09:52 mircea_popescu sadly i have little avenue to bitchslap them
09:52 mircea_popescu but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that.
09:53 Vexual does d really mean discount?
09:53 bitcoinpete so is that them diddling the "price" leading up to the auction?
09:53 mircea_popescu (it's really the same thing, trying to use the propaganda machine to control btc via "news" of "sales")
09:53 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete doubt it.

09:56 bitcoinpete mircea_popescu but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that. << can you explain "they've been moving?"
09:57 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete the "we're selling bitcoin" news manipulation went in days before the "i'm going to kill your "investment" news manipulation" announcement.
09:57 mircea_popescu why not at any prior point for the past... year ?
09:57 bitcoinpete a yes
09:58 bitcoinpete there's room for coincidence

10:01 mircea_popescu davout generally i might do something like "in case of acquisition by listed corp, you get the delta for the next 30 days"
10:01 bitcoinpete i guess i didn't read the usg sale as propaganda-y
10:01 mircea_popescu tho that's kinda dubious, but hey
10:02 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete bitcoin is war, you know.
10:02 Vexual 30 mil pays some wages

10:55 ThickAsThieves neat, i only ever did maybe two metallic ink projects
10:55 nubbins` mircea_popescu of course

10:56 ThickAsThieves a jewelry gift bag, and a annual meeting invitation
10:56 nubbins` how about kickass cotton paper?
10:56 mircea_popescu silken finish ?
10:56 ThickAsThieves mp make sure you are clear on the difference between metallic ink and foil embossed
10:56 nubbins` ah, cotton finish?
10:56 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves im clueless. halp ?
10:56 nubbins` foil embossed looks like gold leaf stuck to the paper
10:57 ThickAsThieves ink looks like graphite basically
10:57 nubbins` could shave in it
10:57 ThickAsThieves foil looks like metal
10:57 nubbins` i think i have pics of gold ink on cotton, one sec
10:57 mircea_popescu ah that's what i want, foil embossed
10:57 ThickAsThieves of course showing pics of metallic ink...

10:58 ThickAsThieves it's neat looking on uncoated paper
10:59 bitcoinpete mircea_popescu: booyah
10:59 ThickAsThieves it's just not the same thing as foil
10:59 TomServo mircea_popescu: It's a good possibility.
10:59 mircea_popescu so nubbins` can you do foil embossed over paper that looks like i cut it out of a high class whore's bedsheets ?
10:59 ThickAsThieves i should also note, i personally find foil to be supremely tacky
10:59 ThickAsThieves so...
10:59 nubbins` yeah, foil sucks
10:59 mircea_popescu that's the point.

11:00 ThickAsThieves yeah the gold ink does come off better than the silver
11:00 nubbins` we're not set up for foil
11:00 ThickAsThieves embossing is nice too
11:00 mircea_popescu i see. okay! so why are there two "colors" of gold ?
11:01 nubbins` that's the light shining off it

15:32 midnightmagic your transitive rating to nano at a certain level, correct. without trust from nanotube you can't rate.

15:32 Blazedout419 i didnt even spam here is the silly part
15:32 Blazedout419 was asking 1 person about a forum post
15:32 Apocalyptic midnightmagic, what's being evaluated is rating from someone in nano's direct trust

15:35 Ssateneth So what sort of shenanigans is going on in here.
15:35 Blazedout419 not much i got negrated for asking a question about a forum post is all
15:36 pankkake so you rated asciilifeform without knowing?
15:36 Blazedout419 for abuse
15:36 Ssateneth I looked at the http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/
15:36 assbot #bitcoin-assets log
15:36 pankkake but how did he know?
15:36 pankkake isn't that, you know, abuse
15:36 Ssateneth and saw a discussion. No samming. no flooding, nothing.
15:37 danielpbarron Ssateneth, i'm pretty sure your rating was put in *before* i linked you to the -assets logs
15:37 Ssateneth Just saw some random leave a -10 for "sp4mz0r" which, in itself, sounds ridiculous for a -10, especially with no solid proof in the rating.
15:38 Ssateneth Then i checked to make sure it was unwarranted and I was correct.
15:38 danielpbarron well if you weren't such a nobody, you'd know that asciilifeform is not "some random"
15:39 pankkake I'm pretty sure organizing mass negrates is abusive behavior
15:39 Blazedout419 who organized anything
15:39 midnightmagic just hug it out, everyone will feel better. :)
15:39 Blazedout419 they saw it and knew i dont spam

15:40 Blazedout419 hehe
15:40 * asciilifeform remembers turning on light in kitchen in old flat, middle of night, all the creepy crawlies came out
15:40 Ssateneth I'm looking at the log though. I see a discussion abotu somethign about 1.5 BTC worth fo shares bought a year ago, and stuff about other securities being scams or not.
15:41 asciilifeform http://www.informnny.com/media/lib/21/1/3/6/136dce14-6c04-4957-90df-44bb8c6c8190/Story.jpg
15:41 Blazedout419 whatever im over it...just dont ask in this chan I guess
15:41 danielpbarron Ssateneth, what flies in -otc doesn't necessarily fly in -assets
15:42 Ssateneth Then someone who wasnt even involved in the discussion comes out of nowhere and -10's with the reason "sp4mz0r" which in itself sounds pretty immature. If it was something like "Spamming in #bitcoin-assets: http://pastebin.com/blahblah" then I probably would have left it alone.

17:40 mdev much thanks
17:41 mdev since I was banned in #bitcoin, what's your guys thoughts on the ghash.io and the 51%?
17:41 BingoBoingo Well, once this USG dumping is over hopefully come hosting time next year these contributions will go for a nice handle of something while I weld the server shut to drop off at the colo
17:41 mdev apparently they've had over 20% for awhile and even at that level they could have done some damage with double spend had they wanted
17:41 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 4 @ 0.0725 = 0.29 BTC [+]
17:42 mircea_popescu mdev looked @ logs ?
17:42 BingoBoingo mdev: Bitcoin is too valuable for ghash.io to do serious damage at 51% plus so long as miners are economically motivated...
17:42 mdev bingo that's what I was thinking, plus they're a legit business in london
17:42 fluffypony mdev: you got banned from #bitcoin?? lol
17:42 mdev no reason to risk that
17:43 mdev fluffy yeah a month ban
17:43 fluffypony that's hilarious
17:43 mdev that channel is so toxic, admins so incredibly abusive lol
17:43 fluffypony let me guess...you dared to question someone?
17:43 mircea_popescu fluffypony yeah, you know, like Blazedout419 did here :D
17:43 BingoBoingo mdev: Ghash fucks up, hopefully enough miners like money to flee.
17:43 pankkake keep in mind 51% attack = 51% *attack*. bitcoin relies on the majority of miners being honest
17:43 mdev I was having a disagreement about private companies being forced to disclose income, with various other users, and a bitcoin op stealth banned me(used a bot), for apparently a month
17:43 fluffypony mircea_popescu: yeah, and nobody banned him
17:43 Apocalyptic fluffypony, no, he's actually clueless and a time waster
17:44 mircea_popescu also http://37.media.tumblr.com/1d760aafa3afdce5399d1bad0dd1a3cc/tumblr_n5dhn8OBzV1s9e2ofo1_500.jpg
17:44 Apocalyptic from what I gathered
17:44 pankkake stealth ban = ban but the mod stays anonymous?
17:44 pankkake like bitcointalk. wonderful. that's the tool of scammers.
17:44 mdev I talked to another op in private about it, and lol...that channel is just not good with them at the helm that insult and put down everything, from andreas, to blockchain.info, to /r/bitcoin to altcoins, list goes on and on
17:45 mdev stealth ban yeah another mod had no idea who set it

17:47 mircea_popescu pankkake btc guild somehow never was the big bad guild
17:47 BingoBoingo Pools rise and fall.
17:47 mdev who controls gribble?

17:48 assbot For the love of Bitcoin, Stop mining at BTC Guild! - They'll control the network if they reach +50% : Bitcoin
17:48 BingoBoingo kakobrekla: Well starting a pools takes a lot of coin which really limits the number of people who can do it.
17:48 mdev how can btc guild control 50% if ghash.io already controls 51%?
17:48 BingoBoingo mdev: Ancient history.
17:49 mdev oh
17:49 kakobrekla prolly better to own gear than coin in such case.
17:49 mircea_popescu kakobrekla why ?
17:49 kakobrekla cause pps is dead long ago
17:49 pankkake https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=13452.0
17:49 assbot To all of the deepbit whiners.
17:49 mircea_popescu pankkake aite, you got a point
17:49 BingoBoingo mdev: It's why going back in the logs and the older parts of the forum is valuable. Many of these things happened before.
17:49 mircea_popescu kakobrekla talk to me like im 5
17:49 mircea_popescu which i am.
17:49 kakobrekla pay per share
17:50 kakobrekla that model is no longer feasible
17:50 mdev BingoBoingo that's an interesting point, and bitcoin is still standing
17:50 mdev so is a non-issue
17:50 mircea_popescu why not ?
17:50 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 7 @ 0.0728 = 0.5096 BTC [+] {3}
17:50 BingoBoingo mdev: Ideally it is a self correcting issue.
17:50 mdev if ghash abuses everyone will know and they'll be done, they don't control the users hardware anyway
17:51 mircea_popescu i thought the earlier 200 btc scandal was over pps
17:51 kakobrekla now everyone is on rounds that last x of time
17:51 kakobrekla and then spread the blocks found over x rounds
17:51 kakobrekla prevents hopping and such.
17:51 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 55 @ 0.0729909 = 4.0145 BTC [+] {2}
17:52 kakobrekla pps is too dangerous imho.
17:52 mdev why
17:52 mircea_popescu o that mixed system, ok.
17:52 mircea_popescu so ?
17:52 pankkake the difference with ghash.io is that most of their hashrate is also controlled by them
17:52 pankkake the solution would be to stop buying that crap cloud mining!
17:52 mircea_popescu pankkake and not yet amortised.
17:52 kakobrekla so if you dont find block your payouts will still be too irregular and you cant do pps
17:52 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 30 @ 0.07399248 = 2.2198 BTC [+] {3}
17:52 mircea_popescu pankkake but derps want to be part of it EASILY
17:52 pankkake what do you mean? they sell it to users, probably at a loss (for the users)
17:53 kakobrekla yes
17:53 mircea_popescu of course they sell it at aloss to the users
17:53 kakobrekla how else would they be 50%
17:53 mircea_popescu how else would they sell it lol
17:53 kakobrekla if not selling such bs.
17:53 pankkake so I don't understand "not yet amortised"
17:54 mircea_popescu the gear they use to mine is not yet paid for.
17:54 kakobrekla isnt it amortized as soon as its sold
17:54 kakobrekla they dont have to buy it back

17:55 mircea_popescu kakobrekla the gear they sold is sold. i thought he meant sold hashes, ie, rented gear
17:55 kakobrekla they sell you 'vrtual chips'
17:55 Dimsler how the hell does that matter
17:55 Dimsler what are they going to do?
17:55 kakobrekla which then you trade on the market
17:55 kakobrekla so once you buy that shit, they are out

17:56 mircea_popescu they've sold "virtual chips" to forum derps for 500-1k btc
17:56 Dimsler lol

19:09 mircea_popescu mike_c include the date.
19:09 mike_c but i could sign something today with june 1st in it.
19:10 mike_c i don't think there is, but thought i'd ask to make sure i wasn't missing some clever trick.
19:10 mircea_popescu sure there's plenty depending what you want.
19:10 mircea_popescu if you want to declare the date being x, include the date.

19:15 kakobrekla are you thinking carbon dating?
19:15 fluffypony lol
19:15 mike_c well, basically what i said. i want to be able to say "here's the signed statement. here is incontravertible proof i have not mucked with it since XX date"
19:15 fluffypony [01:15:01] mdev: your abuse won't be tolerated
19:15 fluffypony lol
19:16 fluffypony mike_c: pastebin it (pastebin keeps the date) + dump the signature here
19:16 fluffypony even if pastebin disappears you have a copy, and the signature can be verified by any of us that keep logs
19:16 mike_c log.b-a or my blog still requires trust. blockchain doesn't, but i'm not a fan of abusing chain for this kind of stuff. pastebin i guess works. nobody would believe they were in on the scamz.
19:17 fluffypony yeah but you forget
19:17 fluffypony log.b-a isn't the only log
19:17 fluffypony I log, and I'm sure dozens of others do
19:17 kakobrekla theres the way-back-machine
19:17 kakobrekla you can prolly leverage that
19:17 fluffypony oh yes good point kakobrekla - you can add a link to archive.org on a particular date
19:18 mike_c that thing still works? impressive.
19:18 mircea_popescu still requires trusty
19:18 mircea_popescu the thing is, the hardcore future problem is not resolvable, as entropy only goes one way
19:18 mircea_popescu and so information accumulates.
19:18 fluffypony mike_c: upload it to Maidsafe!
19:18 mircea_popescu you can prove you know something and so establish it one way, but you can't prove you didn't know something.
19:19 mike_c not 100% resolvable, but blockchain stuffing comes close.
19:19 mircea_popescu actually stuffing it here is probably better.
19:19 mircea_popescu blocks reorg. how do you know you won't end up on a dead chain
19:19 kakobrekla you wait 6 confs.
19:19 kakobrekla duh
19:20 mike_c the thing is, it depends who you are "proving" to. since i am a b-a lackey, clearly i could get the logs mucked with. and nobody is going to care that fluffypony's copy agrees with it.
19:20 fluffypony yeah I suppose
19:20 fluffypony you could've paid us all
19:20 mircea_popescu it's on the web lol.
19:21 mircea_popescu but anyway, since you're in bitcoin, clearly you could have the blockchain mucked.
19:21 mike_c true. i do own ghash.
19:22 mircea_popescu anyway, the problem as stated is unresolvable. as the future includes the past, you can't by yourself prove you were anterior to a point. only ulteriority can be proven that hardcore

20:43 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
20:43 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
20:43 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."

20:44 mircea_popescu this is what makes shakespeare relevant, today as in his time. this is also what makes marc andreessen irrelevant today, and permanently.

21:06 asciilifeform (try booting any os - not patched for this purpose - from a wp'd disk, see what i mean here)

21:08 asciilifeform sha256sum /dev/sdwhateverthefuck > hash.txt
21:08 dignork or this
21:09 asciilifeform a more interesting fact is that, if you open a consumer usb turd that has a wp toggle, it is - afaik - never connected to the flash rom proper
21:10 asciilifeform but to the microcontroller, which gives os (winblows naturally) an ignorable 'pretty please don't write.'
21:10 asciilifeform (why? ask the folks responsible, not me...)

21:11 asciilifeform nope
21:11 asciilifeform no need to add another micro

21:13 asciilifeform writeable with that tool only
21:14 asciilifeform so, not really hardware wp. kernel level turd can (and will) diddle an u3 partition
21:14 asciilifeform but for 'civilian' use, adequate

21:16 asciilifeform likewise enumerates as optical disk.
21:16 dignork neat, it had password protection
21:17 asciilifeform good gift for folks contemplating but not yet escaped from microshit.

23:40 mircea_popescu well these are not the same.
23:40 mircea_popescu every horny teenager has a harem
23:41 mircea_popescu they only have to... want enough ?
23:42 asciilifeform unlike gurlz, widgets don't wiggle away if you're inept. persistence can substitute for talent in the case of trivial problem, hence the existence of 'instructables', 'make', et al.
23:43 * asciilifeform checks inventory. no harem, but plenty of custom gizmos of every variety.
23:44 mircea_popescu yeah, but 'everybody who wants, has' ; 'just have to want enough'. ergo, not everyone who wants has.
23:44 asciilifeform should've been more specific - yes
23:45 asciilifeform picture if you could crib harem source code.

23:56 mircea_popescu the kind of people who have a strong desire /not/ to think become not just a liability on their immediate surroundings, they force a change in how civilization can sustain itself when these people think they should have some power, and indeed /have/ some power qua mass consumers, where everybody is in fact just like everybody else and were being a minority costs real money if not convenience.
23:56 mircea_popescu So why do I not want Common Lisp to be a mass market language? Because this kind of people will want to exert influence over something that is good because it has been restricted to the “elite” that has made a conscious choice to be different from /something/, indeed to /be/ something. The very word “exist” derives from “to step forth, to stand out”.
23:56 mircea_popescu i like naggum.
23:56 * asciilifeform doing his best to help zombie-naggum keep walking, since '10.
23:57 mircea_popescu guy shoulda definitely been more of a narcisist.

23:57 mircea_popescu discourage exceptional people from vanity.
23:57 asciilifeform hah, he was despised by half of c.l.l. for 'self-important prick'
23:57 mircea_popescu so that they stupidly kill themselves, a la naggum.
23:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform didn't he die of neglected ulcer ?
23:58 asciilifeform aye
23:58 mircea_popescu that's not narcisism.
23:58 mircea_popescu hypochondria is narcisism.
23:59 asciilifeform but hell only knows, he had other reasons to waste away than the idiots and their blather. dumped his girl shortly before found dead, too (her blog is linked somewhere in there)
