mircea_popescu "While quantum computing appears to be turning into a multi-decade over-hyped boondoggle of a field, there is no reason why optical computers might not become important." [00:54]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform is this the equivalent of "no offense, but fuck you and that whore of your mother" ? [00:54]
asciilifeform nothing so spicy. just the notion that analogue computing could come back (it was a gloriously interesting field back in the day, dust off some books, fun) [00:55]
asciilifeform see 2nd link. [00:55]

nubbins` wowwwwwww [00:56]
nubbins` always suspected, now i know [00:56]
nubbins` "Our quality standards are low," one supervisor told the investigators. [00:56]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no argument there. [00:56]
asciilifeform nubbins`: they're given quotas (how many patents judged / month) [00:57]
mircea_popescu nubbins` you think tsa/nsa/anya is any different ? [00:57]

nubbins` i've seen tsa agents up-close, most of them probably did basic math in high school [00:57]
nubbins` balancing checkbooks and shit [00:57]
asciilifeform there is no 'quality control' (in the usual sense) at uspto - the expectation is that 'mistakes' will be challenged in court. [00:58]
chetty EPA and IRS seem to find stuff to do [00:58]
mircea_popescu chetty yes, that's like the swat team. working for the irs is fun, you get to talk to really scared people all the time [00:59]
nubbins` a large badge that reads "the man" produces the same effect as a large stick, turns out [00:59]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is rather like imagining that working in a slaughterhouse is fun [01:00]
mircea_popescu it is. [01:00]
nubbins` "you get to cum like ten times a shift" [01:00]
asciilifeform killing things that can't fight back - where's the fun [01:00]
asciilifeform no 'resistance of the medium' [01:00]
mircea_popescu plenty of resistence of the medium. [01:00]
mircea_popescu this is why you can tell venison from butter. [01:00]
asciilifeform venison - resistance. beef - ? [01:01]
mircea_popescu paper doesn't exactly fight back in the sense of hitting bad poets over the head, either. [01:01]
mircea_popescu it should, but it doesn't. [01:01]
mircea_popescu What can it do? Matrix math, basically. Obviously, even thinking about this in the most hand-wavey manner, optical computers should be good at image processing. When you break down what is involved in image processing, matrix math and Fourier transforms come to mind. We know how to do matrix math with optical computers. The limiting aspect is how many elements you can encode and modulate quickly. An optical matrix mu [01:01]
mircea_popescu ltiplication doodad will do it in time, up to the limiting size of the matrices that can be encoded in such a machine. This is huge, as most matrix multiplications are for square matrices of size N. There is all manner of work done on improving matrix multiplication and other forms of matrix math via statistical methods (subject of a coming blog post); the problem is very important, as is pretty bad on large proble [01:01]
mircea_popescu ms. People who have studied the history of computer science know how important the Fast Fourier Transform was. It reduced the 1-d Fourier transform from operations to , opening up vast new applications to signal processing techniques. [01:01]
mircea_popescu ok, i'm sold. he has a solid point there. [01:01]
asciilifeform see TWINKLE and TWIRL [01:02]
asciilifeform (touched in previous discussion, i think) [01:02]
mircea_popescu what sort of insane nut puts o(n^3) as AN IMAGE in the text. [01:02]

mircea_popescu mjr_ there's very little ideas to be had and very many people who like to tell themselves htey have ideas. [02:33]

mjr_ so when that pool got over 51% [02:42]
mjr_ bitcoin failed right? [02:42]
The20YearIRCloud I want to IPO [02:42]
mjr_ oh...the market responded and they capped themselves at 40 [02:42]
mjr_ so, if things need to change, they change [02:42]
mjr_ this is not academic, like python 3 vs python 2 [02:42]
mjr_ this is money [02:42]
mjr_ and once people start hurting in the wallet, they move quick [02:43]
mjr_ considering the bitcoin standard gets changed around once every 2 months [02:43]
mjr_ i don't think we have this calcification that you point to [02:43]
mjr_ the only question is WHICH changes [02:43]
mjr_ and that right now is based on who makes the most convincing argument [02:43]
mjr_ that is 100% academic [02:43]
mjr_ most use python 2 [02:44]
mjr_ the creator wants them to use python 3 [02:44]
mjr_ they don't [02:44]
mjr_ and won't [02:44]
mjr_ yes exactly [02:44]
mjr_ even though the creator has stated he wants people to move to 3 [02:44]
mjr_ so... [02:44]
asciilifeform bitcoin standard gets changed around once every 2 months << what are the miners running? [02:44]
asciilifeform that'd be the standard [02:44]
mjr_ he can't change things by fiat, the market rules what he does [02:44]
asciilifeform not the phoundation turd [02:44]
mjr_ that is exactly my point [02:45]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform> paging herr naggum! << change is not generally a good idea. [02:45]
mjr_ the market decides how and when and in what ways bitcoin changes [02:45]
mjr_ not some guy at a foundation [02:45]
mjr_ which is why, IF it needs to change, it will change [02:45]
mjr_ what are the miners running? [02:45]
mircea_popescu enter about 50 years of sterile "social studies" on the topic of how a bureaucracy is much better. [02:45]
mjr_ lol [02:46]
* assbot removes voice from godovo [02:46]
mjr_ markets are the most efficient way to get to optimum [02:46]
mjr_ and they have a way of cutting through bullshit, and that was my only point [02:46]
mjr_ if the idea behind an alt was so good, the market would have selected it to be included in bitcoin already [02:46]
pete_dushenski punkman: "This is great transparency, Vitalik. You're setting the right standards" << a shining beacon of derpitude [02:47]
mjr_ there is no need to launch an alt [02:47]
BingoBoingo !up godovo lulz mine [02:47]
* assbot gives voice to godovo [02:47]
mircea_popescu considering the bitcoin standard gets changed around once every 2 months << i have nfi what you're on about, it's noit changed since 2011. [02:47]
mjr_ perhaps that point was missed...but basically alts are pointless, because bitcoin can adopt anything they can invent IF it is useful enough to be adopted [02:47]
mjr_ ok... [02:47]
mjr_ so bitcoin addresses [02:47]
mjr_ instead of ip addresses [02:48]
mjr_ messaging fields [02:48]
mjr_ i can refer you to the latest release notes if you like [02:48]
mjr_ and you can runn a diff on the code if you want [02:48]
mircea_popescu i can refer you to some random bathroom stall ? what of it ? [02:48]
pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: looks like your login succeeded, i have no idea right this moment why the request timed out. < [02:48]
asciilifeform btc is probably, for better or worse, frozen solid. [02:48]
mjr_ i am saying that the code that is running on some mining machines is not the same code that ran in 2011 [02:48]
asciilifeform because the burden of proof on anybody pushing a 'pheature' to demonstrate that he isn't slipping in a semantic - or syntactic - pwnh0le - is just about impossible to meet. [02:49]
pete_dushenski asciilifeform: and more so with every passing petahash [02:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the english language'd have benefited immensely had it been frozen solid when handed off to the nutty colonists cca 1700. [02:49]
mircea_popescu mjr_ it's not meaningfully different or else it wouldn't be able to run. [02:49]
mircea_popescu you can translte the miner';s desire to "runn different code" in the flurry of idiotic "revolutionary" nonsense imbeciles like molecular are pushing on the forum. [02:50]
mircea_popescu there's an entire class of them, occasionally i bitchslap them into the abyss, but whatever. [02:50]
mjr_ ...bitcoin addresses are actually meaningfully different from IP addresses [02:50]
asciilifeform an improvement, even if genuine, will be condemned to grind out a meagre existence as an altchain. [02:50]
mircea_popescu i am saying that the code that is running on some mining machines is not the same code that ran in 2011 <<< this. [02:50]
mjr_ and there are certain things you CANNOT do anymore which you COULD before [02:50]
mjr_ so to say that it hasn't changed is flat out wrong [02:51]
mircea_popescu that's fine. narrowing is always fine. [02:51]
mjr_ you can say that the core features that you find useful have not changed [02:51]
mjr_ and perhaps they never will [02:51]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform sounds perfect, really. [02:51]
BingoBoingo !up Jezzz Good Boy! [02:51]
* assbot gives voice to Jezzz [02:51]
mjr_ but that isn't to say that extraneous features aren't removed, or stupid ones added [02:51]
mircea_popescu mjr_ yes, it is to say exactly that. [02:51]
mjr_ you agree that it narrowed, that some features were removed [02:51]
mjr_ but you also say that no, no features are removed? [02:52]
mircea_popescu understand, if some kid somehwere adds a condom to his parent's the tv set, this is exactly meaningless to television. [02:52]
mjr_ ok, and yet i don't like condoms on my tv sets [02:52]
mjr_ so I notice a difference [02:52]
mircea_popescu narrowing fundamentally means those features never actually existed. [02:52]
mjr_ no, they did [02:52]
mjr_ that is like saying bankrupt companies never existed [02:52]
mjr_ they clearly did [02:52]
* nubbins` has quit (Quit: quit) [02:52]
mjr_ and then they didn't [02:52]
mircea_popescu if i let you live in my garage because i'm too lazy to kick you out today, that doesn't mean the garage is your home. [02:52]
mjr_ does it have all the elements that i would look for in a home? [02:53]
mircea_popescu you may understandably wish to misrepresent it as such. nevertheless... it is not. [02:53]
BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes Login seems borked. [02:53]
mjr_ i say if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, its a duck [02:53]
* LitecoinSchadenf has quit (Quit: Page closed) [02:53]
mircea_popescu same thing with bs "features" that meanwhile got thrown out, same thing with bs features the spyteam has been trying to insert. [02:53]
mjr_ i agree [02:53]
mjr_ not useful [02:53]
mjr_ BUT still available to be used [02:53]
mjr_ for example [02:53]
mjr_ have you heard of multisig? it was not enabled, now it is [02:53]
mircea_popescu a gun is available to be used somewhere. it may even be used by mike hearn. [02:53]
mjr_ that is a difference [02:53]
mircea_popescu that won't make the gun aprt of bitcoin. [02:54]
mjr_ ok, fair enough [02:54]
mjr_ tell me multisig is not a thing, and i concede [02:54]
mircea_popescu multisig is not a thing. [02:54]
mjr_ tell me i can't craft a multisig transaction right now [02:54]
mjr_ that will be accepted by the network [02:54]
mjr_ valid per bitcoin rules [02:54]
mircea_popescu luke is trying to pretend like it is. that matters in the sense luke trying to pretend obama is jesus matters. [02:54]
mjr_ ok, let me try broadcasting one [02:54]
mjr_ and when it is rejected you are right [02:54]
mjr_ you can [02:54]
mjr_ it is done NOW [02:55]
mjr_ i'm saying that you can bury your head in the sand, it doesn't mean that reality ceases to exist [02:55]
mircea_popescu ... [02:55]
TheNewDeal mjr_ pix or it dint happen [02:55]
mjr_ there was a point where you could not do a multisig [02:55]
mjr_ now you can [02:55]
mjr_ that is a difference [02:55]
mjr_ i don't give a shit how you try to spin that [02:55]
mircea_popescu mjr_ the day you can withdraw mpex funds to a multisig address i might care. [02:55]
mjr_ it is an obvious difference [02:55]
mircea_popescu that day isn't here yet. [02:55]
mjr_ ok, that is your personal choice [02:56]
mjr_ and your personal choice is not the bitcoin network rules [02:56]
mircea_popescu the fact you can make proper payments out of your braindamaged 3whatever also doesnt matter [02:56]
mjr_ the rules changed [02:56]
* assbot removes voice from The20YearIRCloud [02:56]
mjr_ i don't care...yuo said the protocol hadn't changed [02:56]
mircea_popescu your "multisig" thing is only relevant inasmuch you can actually pay out of it. [02:56]
mjr_ which you can do [02:56]
mircea_popescu it hasn't dood. [02:56]
mjr_ using the blockchain [02:56]
mjr_ i really don't see how you can say that [02:56]
mircea_popescu suppose some kids decide they will have a cocksucking mining contest. [02:56]

mjr_ unless you mean something different [02:56]
mircea_popescu has mining now changed ? [02:56]
mircea_popescu because some kids somewhere are blowing each other on the machines ? [02:56]
mjr_ yes [02:56]
mjr_ it has [02:57]
* ADutchGamer has quit (Quit: Ik ga weg) [02:57]
mircea_popescu eh get out. [02:57]
mjr_ because before [02:57]
mjr_ miners would reject that [02:57]
mjr_ now they accept that [02:57]
mjr_ that would be the textbook definition of a change [02:57]
mjr_ how about a simpler one [02:57]
mircea_popescu no. [02:57]
mjr_ you couldn't do tx of a certain size before [02:57]

* ADutchGamer (~Thunderbi@82-168-99-199.ip.telfort.nl) has joined #bitcoin-assets [02:57]
mjr_ i never said you had to care [02:57]
mjr_ or even notice [02:57]
mircea_popescu so it never changed. [02:57]
mjr_ i said that you can use the subset of features [02:57]
mjr_ and ignore the rest [02:57]
* twizt has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [02:57]
mircea_popescu if math changes and 2 + 3 = 6 instead, then that's a change. [02:58]
mjr_ that doesn't mean it hasn't changed, you conflate backwards compatible with identical [02:58]
mircea_popescu if people decide to write 2+3 as 3+2 from now on, that's just a fashion [02:58]
mircea_popescu backwards compatible is identical. [02:58]
mjr_ i can run 32 bit programs on my 64 bit machine [02:58]
mjr_ not identical [02:58]
mjr_ or are we arguing the defintion of identical [02:58]
mircea_popescu apparently. [02:58]
mjr_ identical means there is no difference [02:58]
mircea_popescu so what if i hexedit the gui and make it pink [02:58]
mjr_ i can run diff on the code and it comes out "no changes" [02:58]
mircea_popescu has bitcoin protcol now changed because pink gui ? [02:59]
mjr_ yes [02:59]
mjr_ that is a change [02:59]
mjr_ 100% certainly [02:59]
mircea_popescu yeah well that's nutty. [02:59]
mjr_ may be, but it is a change [02:59]
mjr_ to say that the color...changed, but there was no change [02:59]
mircea_popescu aite, go ahead an' change the world. [02:59]
mjr_ is logically impossible [02:59]
mjr_ so, we can agree, you don't care about the changes, they don't affect you, they are irrelevant [02:59]
mjr_ they may cease to exist [03:00]
mircea_popescu what's logically impossible is to imagine the bitcoin protocol is something that extends all the way to your soup. [03:00]
mjr_ they may be misguided or stupid [03:00]
mjr_ but they are changes [03:00]
mjr_ huh? [03:00]

mjr_ ok...and if i add acceptable messages to a protocol [03:00]
mjr_ that protocol changed [03:00]
mjr_ for example, you added commands to mpex [03:01]
mjr_ that changed the protocol of what messages were acceptable to mpex [03:01]
mjr_ this is simple [03:01]
mjr_ and i can do it all day [03:01]
mircea_popescu notrly. it only changed it when old ones stopped working. [03:01]
mjr_ ok [03:01]
mjr_ so you only changed it [03:01]
mjr_ the protocol [03:01]
mjr_ for a good reason [03:01]
mjr_ you changed it [03:01]
mircea_popescu well sure. it's mine to change. [03:01]
mjr_ yes [03:01]
mjr_ and bitcoin is the miners to change [03:01]
mircea_popescu not so fast there :) [03:02]
mjr_ and they have [03:02]
mjr_ many times [03:02]
mircea_popescu notrly. [03:02]
mjr_ for fucks sake, there was a fork in the fucking blockchain because people didn't agree on which version to use [03:02]
mircea_popescu and the new version died. [03:02]
mjr_ how could you have a clearer example of the protocol changing [03:02]
mjr_ ok... [03:02]
mjr_ but it did change [03:02]
mjr_ and there was a conflict [03:02]
mircea_popescu mno. change died. [03:02]
mjr_ what died [03:03]
mjr_ the change that happened? [03:03]
mjr_ how can something thta doesn't exist die [03:03]
mircea_popescu anyway, here's the story : i hire you to lay bricks for me. that's your job. [03:03]
mircea_popescu one day you come with a hat [03:03]
mircea_popescu the next day without [03:03]
mircea_popescu the third wioth a hangover [03:03]
mjr_ thats a change [03:03]
mjr_ each day [03:03]
mircea_popescu you figure your job has changed each day ? [03:03]
mjr_ no, my ability to do my job [03:03]
mircea_popescu one day job was "lay bricks with hat", the next" lay bricks without hat" ? [03:03]
mjr_ how you would describe me to someone who you wanted to find me [03:03]
mjr_ yes [03:03]
mjr_ find my employee, he is the guy laying bricks wearing a hat [03:04]
mircea_popescu well so there you go. you wish o matter personally, but i don't give a shit. im your employer not your lover. [03:04]
mjr_ that description is no longer valid on a different day [03:04]
mircea_popescu all i see is the bricks laid. [03:04]
ben_vulpes BingoBoingo, pete_dushenski: thx guys something went south during server swtich [03:04]
mjr_ no... [03:04]
mjr_ i am saying that right now, i can use multisig [03:04]
BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: You're welcom [03:04]
mjr_ the job that is done has new possibilties [03:04]
mjr_ i can lay bricks or i can lay cinder blocks [03:04]
mjr_ but you think i can only lay bricks [03:04]
mjr_ and you only want bricks [03:04]
mjr_ thats good for you [03:04]
mircea_popescu mjr_ you could multisig before you. [03:04]
godovo wow [03:05]
mjr_ i'm not saying that you have to change, i am saying that new features are added [03:05]
mjr_ that is a fact [03:05]
mjr_ you don't have to use them [03:05]
mjr_ you don't have to notice or care [03:05]
mjr_ that doesn't change reality [03:05]
pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: it's was all BingoBoingo :) [03:05]
mjr_ there are new features that the bitcoin protocol allows [03:05]
mircea_popescu reality is not what some derps somewhere feel is the case. [03:05]
mjr_ no [03:05]
pete_dushenski it* [03:05]
mjr_ reality is the state of the world [03:05]
mjr_ the state of the network [03:06]
mjr_ i don't give a shit about a derp saying anything [03:06]
mircea_popescu cool. so then there we go. [03:06]
mjr_ i give a shit about a transaction crafted a certain way included in ablock [03:06]
mjr_ and those transactions, that you say don't exist [03:06]
mjr_ are in blocks [03:06]
mircea_popescu you can put any random data in blocks. [03:06]
mjr_ so either, things that are recorded in a block don't matter [03:06]
mircea_popescu including pictures of twelve year olds taking horse cock. [03:06]
mjr_ you could call all of the data random [03:06]
mircea_popescu this was done already. [03:06]
mircea_popescu not all of it, no. [03:06]
mjr_ i could view all of the blockchain as random [03:06]
mjr_ yes i could [03:06]
mjr_ it is statistically possible to get that arrangement of bits by chance [03:07]
mjr_ we choose to ascribe meaning to this configuration [03:07]
mjr_ from this meaning, we can maintain records [03:07]
BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: Fix so I can do "Robin Williams DIY Project" ad buy [03:07]
mjr_ and new records are allowed in, and are accepted as being records [03:07]
mjr_ if that is not the case, then none of bitcoin protocol matters, because it is subjective [03:08]
mjr_ i don't think your tx is anything other than random data [03:08]
mircea_popescu that'd be where you're wrong. [03:08]
mircea_popescu it matters precisely because it is subjective, and accepted. [03:08]
mjr_ yes [03:08]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 100 @ 0.01236309 = 1.2363 BTC [+] {4} [03:08]
mjr_ and those features you don't like are accepted and valid [03:08]
mircea_popescu this is what renders the subjective but unaccepted parts irrelevant. [03:08]
mircea_popescu not by me. [03:08]
mircea_popescu and until the day they're accepted by me, they don't exist. [03:09]
mircea_popescu this is how this works. [03:09]
mjr_ i, perhaps the only one, do not judge bitcoins protocol by what you find valid [03:09]
mjr_ i judge it based on what i need, and what i can do [03:09]
mircea_popescu well apparently you judge it by what you find valid. [03:09]
mjr_ ok... [03:09]
mjr_ lets say [03:09]
mircea_popescu right. good for you. [03:09]
mircea_popescu so your bitcoin has changed, mine hasn't, there we go. [03:09]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 207 @ 0.01239 = 2.5647 BTC [+] [03:09]
mjr_ that if i send a multisig tx to someone, they will in return send me 1,000,000 bitcoin [03:09]
mjr_ i do it, i get the money [03:09]
mircea_popescu that someone won;'t be me. [03:09]
mjr_ nope, it won't [03:09]
mircea_popescu so go talk to them :) [03:09]
mjr_ do i care? not at all [03:10]
mjr_ the market decides what features are in bitcoin [03:10]
mjr_ same as it always has [03:10]
mircea_popescu again ? [03:10]
mjr_ and if i need to do business with you [03:10]
mjr_ i can work with the limited subset of the protocol you find valid [03:10]
mjr_ there is no reason why people can't send floppy disks to people who have the right converters [03:10]
mircea_popescu "the market" doesn't decide jack shit. if "the market" decides things, we might as well make coinbase the new fed and welcome wall street on their own terms. [03:10]
mjr_ it is still a valid form of recording data [03:10]
mjr_ if the market thinks that is a good idea :) [03:11]
mjr_ i don't have to though [03:11]
mircea_popescu fuck it sideways and good riddance. [03:11]
mjr_ i agree [03:11]
mjr_ again [03:11]
mjr_ i believe you conflate backwards compatible, or option with identical [03:11]
mircea_popescu so, yeah. the market may decide anything it wants for just as long as it stays strictly within what i find paltable. that';s how this thing works. [03:11]
mjr_ i have an option to use multisig [03:11]
mjr_ i don't have to [03:11]
mjr_ yeah, you use the parts of it that you like, and don't use the parts you don't [03:12]
mircea_popescu you have an option to do whatever the fuck it is you want to do at all junctures anyway. [03:12]
mjr_ maybe i overly jump to your hyperbole [03:12]
mjr_ why not just go ahead and say that bitpay doesn't exist? [03:12]
mircea_popescu notably, you could have used multisig at any point starting in 2009, and plenty of people did. [03:12]
mjr_ or altcoins [03:12]
mjr_ yeah, you could have [03:12]
mircea_popescu you can share keys and whatnot with or without bitcoin. [03:12]
mjr_ you also could have sent coins to an ip address [03:12]
mjr_ remember that? [03:12]
mjr_ i cannot now send coins to an ip address [03:13]
mircea_popescu and if one day they include a weather service in some client, that'll be about as much change. [03:13]
mjr_ i agree [03:13]
mjr_ in other words, a change [03:13]
mjr_ which was my point [03:13]
mjr_ but if i only wanted to be able to send to ip addresses [03:13]
mjr_ if that was my core feature set [03:13]
mjr_ i'd be an idiot [03:13]
mircea_popescu that was an actual fork. [03:13]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 68 @ 0.02523161 = 1.7157 BTC [-] [03:13]
mjr_ but also, someone who can't actually use the network for what i want [03:13]
mjr_ how can you fork without changing? [03:13]
mircea_popescu and a welcome one at that. fucking ip addresses nuttery. [03:13]
mjr_ i agree [03:13]
mjr_ so get rid of a stupid features [03:14]
mjr_ sounds like a good CHANGE [03:14]
mircea_popescu satoshi did that you know. [03:14]

(that code was in the wild because after the nth breach, amir taaki of bitcoin consultancy fame "open sourced" it by releasing it without rights) [03:56]

mjr_ and have a few projects [03:58]
mircea_popescu so you're still in panama. basically what, erik bought bitfinex ? [03:58]
mjr_ so i figured i would find something that lets me do more stuff i like, but still program [03:58]
mjr_ nope [03:58]
mjr_ he is busy working on his wedding [03:59]
mjr_ not sure if he could afford it...maybe [03:59]
mjr_ but i'm going to eriks wedding in sept [03:59]
mjr_ but yeah, i mean, you know me, i like to talk [03:59]
mjr_ and programming != talking much [03:59]
mjr_ so, felt a little one dimensional [03:59]
mircea_popescu well someone's behind there, the people originally involved with bitfinex ain't got the resources required. [03:59]
mjr_ and now i get to talk, they wanted someone to be out in public [04:00]
mjr_ yeah, that is the beauty of that place [04:00]
mircea_popescu mjr_ how long you been there ayway ? [04:00]

mircea_popescu what, you working by the hour ? [04:01]
mjr_ no [04:01]
mjr_ i loved the way they phrased it [04:01]
mjr_ they said we know you have a lot of projects [04:01]
mjr_ we want to pay you to put us at the top of the list [04:01]
mjr_ and will try to help you with your other projects because we are serial entrepreneurs [04:01]
mjr_ so, it works well [04:01]

TimSwanson i have to go in a bit, but can chat for a few moments [05:17]
mircea_popescu ok, let me explain to you why your "ad hominem" approach is broken. [05:17]
TheNewDeal lol [05:17]
TimSwanson I have read your post 3 times, you do not cite any data [05:18]
TimSwanson All you do is attack me [05:18]
TimSwanson That is an "ad hominem" [05:18]
mircea_popescu you may generously represent yourself as equal to all people, myself included. this however is false : i am a major player in a major revolution. you are practically nobody, or if we're charitable a minor player in a lengthy tradition, if we are again charitable and consider the us derpage somehow related to european academia as a human thought adventure. [05:18]
TimSwanson That is an ad hominem [05:18]
mircea_popescu now, if you want to talk about my think, and i say you're stupid, this can not be waved aside by you claiming it's an ad hominem. [05:18]
TimSwanson That is what the authors of articles in The Economist, do not sign their names [05:18]
mircea_popescu i would know if it were or if it weren't. you, however, wouldn't. [05:18]
TimSwanson because the arguments are supposed to stand for themselves [05:18]
TimSwanson That is besides the point [05:19]
mircea_popescu so. inasmuch as you wish to continue, on the general expectation that bitcoin will eventually conform to your worldview, you're more than welcome to it. [05:19]
TimSwanson Mircea, you need to deal with the content of the chapters [05:19]
mircea_popescu however, this will positively never happen. bitcoin will just ruin academia as you know it and that's that. [05:19]
TimSwanson And not just say "hey, I don't know him" [05:19]
mircea_popescu why ? [05:19]
TimSwanson Because that's how normal debates work [05:19]

mircea_popescu you don't get to say how these debates work. again, because bitcoin. [05:19]
TheNewDeal otherwise he falls off into the blogosphere [05:19]
mircea_popescu the problem here isbn't that i don't know you., [05:19]
mircea_popescu the problem is that you don't klnow me, and by extension bitcoin. [05:19]
TimSwanson I don't care that you don't know me [05:19]
TimSwanson You don't own Bitcoin [05:20]
mircea_popescu you're stuck working with strawmen whether you want to or not. [05:20]
TimSwanson That's not how debates work [05:20]
mircea_popescu which is why the stuff yo usay is lulzy to people here, but not to you. [05:20]

TimSwanson You attacked me in a post [05:20]
mircea_popescu i didn't attack you. [05:20]
TimSwanson That's an ad hominem [05:20]
TimSwanson Yes you did [05:20]
TheNewDeal I have a bone to pick with this statement "This is a mistake that we see in full force today in which the quantity of money available has shrunk due to theft, scams, purposeful burning, accidental destruction, etc." [05:20]
TimSwanson You said I was a "environmental scholar" [05:20]
mircea_popescu i scored you. the difference here is that in order to attack you we'd have to share something. we do not. [05:20]
mircea_popescu what exactly do you do for a living ? [05:20]
TimSwanson Haha, okay [05:20]
TimSwanson I hope you enjoy your journey on the High Horse [05:21]
TimSwanson If you clicked "About the author" you might know [05:21]
mircea_popescu i have, which is how i got to this idea [05:21]
TimSwanson I do a lot work with Bitcoin startups, legal ones [05:21]
mircea_popescu now, i may well have misunderstood you. so, what do you do ? [05:21]
* assbot gives voice to dignork [05:21]
TimSwanson I have said so in many interviews [05:21]
mircea_popescu none that apparently ever mattered. [05:21]
TimSwanson I work doing market research for Bitcoin companies [05:21]
mircea_popescu so you think. [05:21]
TimSwanson Okay, nice [05:21]
TimSwanson Any other personal insults you'd like to make? [05:22]
mircea_popescu looky : i've been fran kto you. now, can i get a frank answer to what exactly it is you do, for a living ? [05:22]

mircea_popescu you think this is somehow more respectable than "evironment scholar" ? [05:22]
TimSwanson I have never done anything with the "environment" [05:23]
mircea_popescu Timothy Swanson Timothy Swanson is an American economics scholar specializing in environmental governance, ... << is this you ? [05:23]

TimSwanson Instead, you have wasted about 10 minutes trying to attack me [05:27]
mircea_popescu if the book had no author i definitely wouildn't read it. [05:27]
TimSwanson Okay, that's your loss [05:27]
mircea_popescu i don't think you understand how this works. things need a source to exist. [05:27]
* TheNewDeal has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) [05:27]
TimSwanson I cite hundreds of sources [05:27]

TimSwanson Look in the Endnotes [05:27]
mircea_popescu hundreds of sources eh ? [05:27]
TimSwanson Yes, you should press the blue underlined hyperlink button to open the book [05:28]
mircea_popescu this is readily reducible to the problem of "i have a very high wot score". it's not the number. it's the identity. [05:28]

TimSwanson I came here out of curteousy [05:28]

TimSwanson My WoT in the real world is pretty good [05:28]
* assbot removes voice from SuchWow [05:28]
TimSwanson You are the one leaving comments on my blog [05:29]

TimSwanson If you weren't interested, why would you leave it? [05:29]
TimSwanson You are not a gatekeeper for bitcoin [05:29]
TimSwanson You do not get to decide who is or is not interested [05:29]
mircea_popescu i left a comment on an article that pingbacked my article, [05:29]
TimSwanson That defeats the whole purpose of permissionless [05:29]
TimSwanson It auto-pings [05:29]
TimSwanson Welcome to 2003 [05:29]
mircea_popescu and i left it because it was apparent to me that you don't, on your own, possess the intellectual means to comprehend the problem. [05:29]
TimSwanson What is the problem I do not comprehend? [05:29]
mircea_popescu now, whether this session helped or didn't is unclear, but at least i tried. [05:29]
TimSwanson I don't have to be a Bitcoin Taliban to understand how it works [05:30]
TimSwanson What did you try? [05:30]
TimSwanson Insulting me? [05:30]
mircea_popescu well, i suppose the way to reference it in your system would be "the wot games". [05:30]
TimSwanson You have provided no data for your position [05:30]
TimSwanson I understand WoT [05:30]
mircea_popescu you aren't yet enough of a something to be insultable im affraid. [05:30]
TimSwanson I have a big network in the real world outside caves [05:30]
TimSwanson So you invited me, to insult me? [05:30]
mircea_popescu that's nice. [05:30]
mircea_popescu well now look. so do you understand the wot or don't you. [05:30]
TimSwanson What is your actual argument? [05:30]
TimSwanson Yes, I am not in your WoT [05:31]
TimSwanson I am not interested in being your WoT [05:31]
TimSwanson I am interested in research, with data [05:31]
mircea_popescu my actual argument is that you're captive in a mostly meanginless structure, and that it's a shame, basically. [05:31]
TimSwanson That was not your argument [05:31]
TimSwanson You called me names [05:31]
TimSwanson And ignored "a" [05:31]
TimSwanson Whoever "a" was [05:31]
mircea_popescu you're not about to tell me what my argument is, now is it ? [05:31]
TimSwanson Brought up good points on mining costs [05:31]
TimSwanson Look, I have to go in about 5 minutes [05:31]
mircea_popescu have fun. [05:32]
TimSwanson Do you actually have some data about mining you want to chat about? [05:32]
TimSwanson Or did you just want to insult me? [05:32]
mircea_popescu no, but should you wish to actually learn about bitcoin, this channel is here. [05:32]
RagnarDanneskjol please stay, this is highly entertaining [05:32]
mircea_popescu there's also a log. [05:32]
TimSwanson Haha, you're right, I have no idea what Bitcoin is, at all [05:32]
mircea_popescu so you can do it discreetly if ego wound avoidance is such a priority. [05:32]
TimSwanson Please, tell me the way, the truth and the light [05:32]
mircea_popescu indeed, that's the gist of it. [05:32]
TimSwanson Look, you sound a lot like any other religious leader who says "you cannot understand the movement unless you're part of it" [05:33]
TimSwanson It's a non sequitur [05:33]
mircea_popescu also a¬ stands for.. .a-non [05:33]
TimSwanson Either you have an argument with data, or just rhetoric [05:33]
mircea_popescu i thought it was pretty clever. [05:33]
mircea_popescu i am not actually saying that. [05:33]
TimSwanson Okay, so "a-non had an interesting couple of points [05:33]

mircea_popescu what i am saying is that you can never have something meanginful to say about a culture from outside of it. [05:33]
TimSwanson The costs of mining have seen and unseen aspects [05:33]
TimSwanson Bitcoin is open source tech [05:33]

mircea_popescu this'd be a fine example of the strawman in question. you imagine this is a meaningful question, but it isn't. [05:34]
TimSwanson This si the same problem cypherpunks had back in the '90s [05:34]
TimSwanson They built really cool tech like PGP or even Digicash and ZKS but couldn't find a target market in a profitable manner [05:35]

* jborkl (~jborkl@unaffiliated/jborkl) has joined #bitcoin-assets [05:49]
mircea_popescu dignork what's that $40 come from, 600ish tx per block, 25 btc per tx, 600 $ per btc ? [05:50]
dignork yep [05:50]
mircea_popescu do you see how idiotic it is to look at that in $ ? [05:50]
mircea_popescu they'll be paid some fractions of bitcent. [05:50]
mircea_popescu that's where this lets go : btc price goes up high enough for it to be worthwhile to miners. that tiny cent. [05:50]
mircea_popescu otherwise they don't sell it. [05:51]
TheNewDeal as transaction fees? [05:51]
mircea_popescu yes. [05:51]
dignork which might cost gazillions, but you can't count on it, price might rise slower than payout fall [05:51]
mircea_popescu it can't lol. [05:51]
mircea_popescu that's exactly what it's based on [05:51]
mircea_popescu what did you think drove the price, "merchant adoption"? [05:51]
* twizt (18bc4613@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.188.70.19) has joined #bitcoin-assets [05:52]
TheNewDeal then why wasn't there a huge price jump during the reward halving? [05:52]
TheNewDeal was it "priced in" [05:52]
mircea_popescu something like that. [05:52]
mircea_popescu real prices don't follow fundamentals exactly. this is how you know they're real prices. [05:52]
dignork TheNewDeal: well, currently fees are very small relative to pyaouts, so it wasn;t supposed to create price jump [05:53]
mircea_popescu if you look at secular averages, there is a huge jump. [05:53]
TheNewDeal but the reward halved! [05:53]
TheNewDeal what do you mean by secular? [05:53]
TheNewDeal ;;ud secular [05:53]
gribble http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=secular | Dec 24, 2004 ... secular. Intelligent; One who uses common sense and deductive reasoning to come to the conclusion that religion is a joke. I think, therefore I ... [05:53]
mircea_popescu average price over 215k blocks. [05:53]
dignork right, so fees jumped from 0.1% to 0.2 # [05:53]
mircea_popescu dignork that's not the problem. the equation roughly is, "total btc miners get for mining". how that chunk is composed dun matter much. [05:54]
mircea_popescu so per-block went from 50.00x to 25.0x [05:54]
mircea_popescu roughly, halved. [05:54]
mircea_popescu and it looks like it's gonna go 12.x, and then x as in 6-9ish [05:55]
TheNewDeal do you think miners will start rejecting transactions with fees below a certain amount? [05:56]
mircea_popescu aren't they already ? [05:56]
TheNewDeal as in, .00025 or something [05:56]
TheNewDeal currently it's .0001 [05:56]
mircea_popescu well so there you go. [05:56]
TheNewDeal I'm just wondering, do yo think that is how things will go? [05:56]
mircea_popescu it's a market, unlikely it'll ever go over a buck or w/e. [05:56]
mircea_popescu obviouisly. scarce resource, expensive to make. gotta be this tal lto ride. [05:57]
TheNewDeal it would be interesting to see if there were peak hours where high fee transactions were the vast majority to get through [05:57]
TheNewDeal then off peak, back to some lower levels [05:57]
