the car, as i understand, has to come -after-, or you fished with dynamite - and any idiot with a stick of dynamite can then be a 'great fisherman' |

PeterL you have to understand, 99% of the circulating material is just that. they get fed hay, they shit it out, it goes on the pasture, which makes more hay. the people live off the wool produced, which is a side effect. |

"Also, I used to read their logs on IRC, and there was a guy called 'pankkake' (also in btctalk) who seems to have vanished.

"I'd suggest you go research existing high-value-payment networks and see what typical fees are for multi-million dollar transactions. FEDWIRE is running at 6 transactions per second, average transaction value over $6million, with fees per transaction UNDER ONE DOLLAR. |
| 16:03 |
mircea_popescu |
Why? Because if you are giving somebody one million dollars for something, you almost certainly have built up real-world trust, and probably have a longstanding relationship, signed contracts, etc etc." |
| 16:04 |
mircea_popescu |
basically, one less explored point of usgavin's interest with the fork is to cripple the politically revolutionary side of bitcoin. obviously if bitcoin can't be bitcoin then the replacement of plain contracts with gpg-contracts will at least be hindered. |

thestringpuller well, romania as a sovereign nation was mostly constructed around this event where the czar declared war on the turks on the fumes of imagining himself like the germans, and buying the british propaganda about the "dead man of europe". the turks were the origina lrhodesia. |

anyway, the turks mowed them down, and so the commanding officer sent the romanian kind a "plz save us telegram'. so the romanian army moved in, beat back the turks, took some impossible redoubts, lost like a third of the men and that was that. |

asciilifeform |
and, much as it is intriguing that so many nodes still hang out on irc bitcoin-xx channel, that thing doesn't belong in the RI |
| 17:39 |
asciilifeform |
but we can't zap both it and the dns seeder (already submitted zap for the latter) without a fresh list of seeds |
| 17:39 |
PeterL |
we plan to rip out irc? |
| 17:39 |
mircea_popescu |
on a principal consideration ? |
| 17:40 |
mircea_popescu |
irc should probably stay because a) it doesn't actualy do anything atm and b) it will be an easy upgrade to gossipd |
| 17:40 |
asciilifeform |
the irc thing is a chokepoint. in my head it counts as 1 hardcoded node, really |
| 17:40 |
mircea_popescu |
which will make bitcoin full nodes a much saner thing altogether. |
| 17:40 |
asciilifeform |
think about it. isomorphic. |
| 17:40 |
mircea_popescu |
and remove a lot of dumbass pressure off the blockchain. ("want to talk to people ? talk through the node process not through the tx process) |
| 17:41 |
asciilifeform |
actually, given that most of the hard seeds are dead, the irc mechanism is the primary bootstrap. |
| 17:41 |
mircea_popescu |

"This is in turn leading to an (unsustainable) proliferation of cultural commentary, some of it unreadable, but much of it sharp and interesting. Much of this commentary is understandably driven by spleen.

The entire point of it is to use something that we find shocking as leverage to illustrate the fact that something that we usually close our eyes to is also very shocking.

As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable that you can't ignore it." I admit that rereading it makes even me, the author, uncomfortable! Numerous friends have warned me that in publishing this piece I am taking a serious risk of earning myself a reputation as a terrible racist. I |
| 20:17 |
mircea_popescu |
guess I cannot truly believe that anyone would see this piece that way. To misperceive it this way would be like calling someone a vicious racist for telling other people "The word 'nigger' is extremely offensive." If allusions to racism, especially for the purpose of satirizing racism and its cousins, are confused with racism itself, then I think it is time to stop writing." |

a) it does not shock me. |

mircea_popescu |
b) it is simply very bad writing. |

he seems to be proposing the notion that saying she when i mean a cuntbearer is about as bad as inventing a special ble pronoun to denote a guy's color |

mircea_popescu: and it reads as the usual tedium because it -was- same, with words swapped |

well here's the thing : i don't happen to give a shit about the guy's color |

at any rate it was a mega-troll in gringolandia |

this is kinda why i was reluctant to distribute binaries - i want everyone to know precisely what they're eating |

(it's hard enough with src) |

yeah, i wanna re-iterate here, all of the wedging issues ben and I had were /with/ checkpoints included. if we apply the rm_checkpoints patch, no longer a problem. |

The administration’s program is now known as Operation Choke Point, which is run by the Departments of Justice and Treasury." |

Meta-metastasis, or how a dancing shark jumped the shark. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/16p47gY ) |

well, perhaps not one, but... 7? (therealbitcoinfoundation) |

mircea_popescu |
ok... ? |
| 23:26 |
pete_dushenski |
did anyone else see right through the meta-sharks ? |
| 23:26 |
asciilifeform |
but presumably we aren't trying to build a closed parallel universe |
| 23:26 |
asciilifeform |
with only our nodes |
| 23:26 |
pete_dushenski |
and now dinner time, cheerio! |
| 23:27 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform not specifically. we don't really care. |
| 23:27 |
mircea_popescu |
once bootstrapped nodes talk to nodes, what. |

mircea_popescu: outside-world addrs will not spontaneously appear in a cliquegraph |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
vice-versa. |
| 23:28 |
asciilifeform |
so we sit, waiting for all-comers to plug in? sure. |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
clique appears in outside world. |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
that's the idea isn't it |

i don't see the letter dns servers perceive any need for putting my fucking ip in their list anywhere. |
| 23:29 |

asciilifeform gets idea |
| 23:29 |
mircea_popescu |
it's lightweight, large and dependable. all the qualities the dns letters don't actually have. |
| 23:29 |
mircea_popescu |
well, they are dependable, but still. |

basically wedged at 168,000: just waiting for it to error out. |

o.O |
| 23:30 |
mircea_popescu |
this is pretty fucking weird mod6 |
| 23:31 |
mod6 |
yeah. really weird. |

decimation |
even if we want to start a backbone of little pogos, it won't be easy to keep track of ips |
| 23:39 |
decimation |
how many of pay for static ip services? |
| 23:39 |
mircea_popescu |
think about it : if it won't be easy to keep track of ips it follows it's no longer a chokepoint. |

mircea_popescu |
it really is better designed dns. |
| 23:41 |
mircea_popescu |
(also bear in mind these aren't really supposed to ever power down) |
| 23:41 |
Vexual |
duly noted |
| 23:42 |
mircea_popescu |
an' with that, i bid you a good night! |
| 23:44 |
decimation |
perhaps the node can walk jurov's turdatron for specially marked (and signed) emails |
| 23:45 |
asciilifeform |
decimation: turdatron is a central point of failure |
| 23:45 |
mod6 |
this is strange, last like 5-6 times i got wedged at 168,000 it errored out pretty quickly (like the snippit in the matrix doc), but now, taking a good while... |

trinque settles in for a few hours of deedbot hacking |
| 23:46 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu has the right idea - deliberately underspecify the seed list |
| 23:46 |
asciilifeform |
those of us who choose to run public nodes - can |
| 23:46 |
decimation |
do nodes query other node's connections? |
| 23:46 |
asciilifeform |
decimation: as part of the traditional protocol, yes |
| 23:47 |
decimation |
ah, well that might work then |
| 23:53 |
decimation |
!down decimation |
| 23:55 |
trinque |
maybe when the deturdulation is all said and done, the act of programming against the thing can be improved as well |
| 23:56 |
mod6 |
still no error?! wth |
| 23:56 |
trinque |
select id from transaction_output except select output_id from transaction_input |
