mod6 BingoBoingo: alerts were snipped via this patch: http://thebitcoin.foundation/turdmeister-alert-snip.tar.gz -- It's not posted to the btc-dev mailing list yet. This might have been because of issues with messages getting snarffed back in Oct./Nov. [00:10]

BingoBoingo mod6: Saw that. I'm building a different phoundation version for personal use. [00:11]

bitcoinquestions mircea_popescu: I did a lot more critical thinking about the blocksize limit and holy shit I feel so dumb for ever thinking Gavin's proposal was a good idea. [01:34]
thestringpuller bitcoinquestions: http://i.imgur.com/38BlfVp.png [01:35]
bitcoinquestions And there's no way Gavin doesn't know exactly what he's doing, right? Like is it possible he convinced himself that it was a good idea? [01:36]
bitcoinquestions It's perfectly tricky though - it does at first seem like a good idea. [01:36]
bitcoinquestions It seems like something he could convince the masses to upgrade to, but I'm assuming the miners know better than to let that happen, correct? [01:39]
bitcoinquestions Like is this a real threat? [01:39]

bitcoinquestions anyone here wanna play bitcoin bounce? It's a simple game I made up to build up trust.

mircea_popescu The tale is told, too, of a certain woman who performed an aeolian crepitation at a dinner attended by the witty Monsignieur Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, and that when, to cover up her lapse, she began to scrape her feet upon the floor, and to make similar noises, the Bishop said, "Do not trouble to find a rhyme, Madam!"

danielpbarron what's up with your friend, napedia? [02:16]
napedia I'm guessing you're talking about Daniel. The answer is that there is an internal split at SNI regarding the block size. Daniel is on the other side of Michael and Pierre. [02:18]

mircea_popescu i needed to translate it. [03:21]
ascii_modem ah for sport. [03:22]
mircea_popescu right. perfectly fine as it is, but what is more tempting than to mess with an accomplished writer's words ? [03:23]
mircea_popescu think of it as, "i translated emacs to lisp" [03:23]
mircea_popescu or w/e, names not important. [03:23]
ascii_modem aha. [03:23]
mircea_popescu i think incidentally, that this is the fundamental impulse driving most bowdlerization. [03:24]
mircea_popescu it is not the "moral" considerations that drive it. the moral considerations are merely the pretext under which the inept hand takes refuge. [03:24]
mircea_popescu derp wants to rewrite X. but how to do it safely ? AH! I KNOW.... [03:24]
ascii_modem not only bowdlerizations but gavinizations [03:25]

mircea_popescu in fact, as ridiculous as mormonism is, he is an exact copy. the cultural relationship between judaism and christianity is exactly the same as between christianity and mormonism : a barely literate lout ran off with a few pages and made his own, self-important "variant", [15:32]

asciilifeform now this - i never knew. [15:36]
nubbins` i can't recall the details, but i feel like at the time it was a sort of "english teacher overseas" thing [15:37]
mircea_popescu seems he lives in japan [15:37]
nubbins` and his employers caught whiff of this necro-mastur-porn comic he did [15:37]
mircea_popescu english teacher ;likely thing for a foreigner there to do. [15:37]
nubbins` it went down for a while, came back as "sexy losers" [15:37]
mircea_popescu mebbe he actually went because he wanted to jacvk off to 12yo jap gals. [15:38]
nubbins` mircea_popescu you probably would not be surprised at how common this is [15:38]
nubbins` speaking from experience, roughly half of all ESL teachers are "strange" [15:38]

mircea_popescu on the other hand, man... that's some serious issues. [15:41]
mircea_popescu on my tenuous grasp of insanity, it'd seem that it's an entirely vacuous thing, which takes the shape you impose upon it. if you insist it's dangerous... it will probably grow some dangerous appendages. if you treat it as benign, it will basically be benign. [15:42]

mircea_popescu "It's largely engineers who think about it in terms of game theory. They think that if you have unlimited blocksize, then the cost of transactions will go to zero because there will always be a competitor that is willing to include transactions even if you're charging X. They believe this will cause a race to bottom and there won't be any incentive for miners to secure the network because they can't cover costs. [16:51]

mircea_popescu i fail to see how it is a problem. [17:25]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the proggy is a misery to use; works very half-heartedly anywhere other than winblows; costs $maxint; and, more direly, is not especially actively maintained. but there is nothing remotely like an alternative, not even a 'distant second', nor is anyone (afaik) remotely contemplating the idea of making one. [17:26]
mircea_popescu but i mean the problem. [17:26]

mircea_popescu this can't be a problem. it's like mp's triangle : x sucks , no competition, anyone cares. [17:27]

mircea_popescu why do you wanna go in locales you don't like the maxima. [17:28]
pete_dushenski seems like alf just "wishes it were better" [17:28]
pete_dushenski and would probably even endeavour to make it so if "only had the time" [17:28]
mircea_popescu every wish is sacred, every wish is good... [17:28]
mircea_popescu but i can see his point. waste of time to go into the guts of windows. [17:29]

mircea_popescu so... don't. [17:29]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: try to realize that to the extent reverse-engineered drivers exist for various things, the entire undertaking stands - and falls - on w4r3z 'ida pro' as much as on leaked/stolen docs [17:29]

asciilifeform it's one of the elephants/tortoises on which the entire thing shakily stands. [17:29]
asciilifeform and it's a lame elephant with gangrenous legs. [17:30]

mircea_popescu and you're right in pointing out that ida is probably a thing to rewrite, alongside gpg, etc [17:30]
asciilifeform dwarfs most of the projects we've discussed here in the sheer intrinsic gnarliness. [17:30]
mircea_popescu which is why not muchly discussed. [17:31]
asciilifeform the part i was trying to answer was 'why do you wanna go in locales you don't like the maxima' [17:31]
mircea_popescu it may be the case that the maxima is fine. [17:32]
mircea_popescu ie, that's the best that can be had. [17:32]
asciilifeform winblows is axiomatically not part of any future 'best that can be had' that i'm willing to interoperate with. [17:33]
mircea_popescu yeah why the fucxk did the guy write it in win anywa [17:33]
asciilifeform as a usg appendage, it is for the furnace. [17:33]
asciilifeform why orcs tend to write, think, live, breathe in winblows, is worthy of its own thread. [17:33]
asciilifeform but it is a well-established fact [17:34]
asciilifeform unfortunately. [17:34]
asciilifeform my understanding is that ru, cn folks, by and large, never gave even a basic fuck re: open source whatever, until very recently and still insignificantly [17:34]
mircea_popescu odd. [17:35]
asciilifeform because on no account did anyone there remotely contemplate paying for software [17:35]

mircea_popescu and what were symbolics sources in anyway, cl ? [17:46]
asciilifeform i happen to know with fair degree of certainty that the number one buyer of 'ida' is usg. [17:46]
asciilifeform at least, as of several years ago. [17:46]
mircea_popescu hm. [17:47]
asciilifeform the symbolics sources in the usual sense (of lisp) are largely on 'pirate bay'. but they are quite useless without the chip design. [17:48]
mircea_popescu hey, any foxy force five chicks in the audience : there's a job to bust into the liege offices of a tiny firm and steal source code. catsuit optional. get in touch. [17:48]
asciilifeform as an experiment, i spoke to dave schmidt (actual person, went to his house, bought an ancient machine.) pleasant old man. and asked re: buying docs. he claimed that he was not at liberty to sell, at any price, due to pacts with usg. [17:49]

cazalla IHB, i mean, i gotta use 3 finger scrolls to get to the meat of it.. i don't even give the missus that much [23:37]

IHB ok, this is still a WIP, but i want to make sure i understand [23:38]
IHB @petertoddbtc @trilema @oocBlog  @BryceWeiner @JustusRanvier  @fredwilson @balajis  In regards to scalability and the perceived threat facing the bitcoin ecosystem I am still not convinced we have a problem here. Gavin has been talking about this for a little while now and it shouldn’t surprise anyone of us that he is publicly trying to get a proposal ready so the full nodes can vote on it. 1. If 80% of the full nodes v [23:38]

cazalla mircea_popescu, i read you have like 100k of those pogos eh [23:39]
mircea_popescu but in any case, "votes" by bs nodes with < 90% uptime is pointless. [23:39]
IHB i know i know [23:39]
mircea_popescu might as well redditvote. [23:39]
mircea_popescu and in any case : VOTES DO NOT MATTER. [23:39]
IHB i am posting a draft write now [23:39]
mircea_popescu bitcoin is not a democracy., [23:40]
mircea_popescu bitcoin is a consensus system. [23:40]
BingoBoingo IHB: Just remember if you post a big draft for review before going up on your site, Google index's pastebins aggressively, Dpaste not so much. [23:40]
mircea_popescu the concept of voting re bitcoin is not unlike the concept of voting re sex. [23:40]
mircea_popescu sure, 9 out of 10 people enjoy themselves at any gangbang. [23:40]
mircea_popescu this doesn't mean me and eight other dudes get to vote on how to use gavin's wife. [23:41]

BingoBoingo http://trilema.com/ has threatened to bring the house down and if he is successful, then so be it. << IHB you prolly want to link MPEx.co as the actor and particular trilema pieces justifying the MPEx position [23:43]
assbot Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1E0g1bf ) [23:43]
mircea_popescu ihb it's beyon me why you think this is publishable. [23:43]
IHB its not [23:43]
mircea_popescu as a general rule : strike out all paragraphs that contain the pronoun "I" see what's left. [23:43]
mircea_popescu aha. [23:44]
cazalla IHB, this is your scratch pad eh? [23:44]
IHB not everyone is as talented as you when it comes to words [feces] [23:44]
mircea_popescu also, the paywall on trilema is a) older than bitcoin and b) older than the new york time's. [23:44]
BingoBoingo he recently put a btc paywall on his personal blog. << IHB been around multiple years. Since early 2013 when I finally started talking to people. [23:44]
mircea_popescu it's in fact the first paywall on any content site on the internet. [23:44]
IHB i never ran into it until today [23:44]
IHB fo real [23:44]
mircea_popescu even so. [23:45]
IHB will amend [23:46]
BingoBoingo I believe the 1mb limit was only put in out of fear to protect us from a potential attack. << Was explicitly put in place to make attacks by bloating the blockchain uneconomical [23:46]

IHB <+mircea_popescu> i never got the address to send the .01 BTC [23:48]
mircea_popescu did you use a proper email ? [23:48]
IHB i used ihb@ihb.io [23:49]
IHB so if we don't have the cap it is possible for a miner to load blocks up with spam? and this in turn will weaken the network? [23:50]
mircea_popescu first time i got a report like this, so mebbe wait and see ? mebbe your mail server's slow ? [23:50]
IHB won't it cost a lot of money to do that? [23:50]
mircea_popescu why would it be a miner ? it is possible for anyone. [23:50]
mircea_popescu today it's not a particularly valuable dos attack on bitcoin because whatever, 1mb blocks. [23:51]
mircea_popescu if they end up being larger, it becomes more of an attack. if they're large enough, sure, you can deny usage of the network this way. [23:51]
* Lycerion is now known as Lucero [23:51]
IHB fuck. [23:51]
IHB well, i am glad i had a reason to be confused [23:52]
BingoBoingo IHB: And the thing is it is a one time cost to the attacker to attack by committing bloat [23:52]
mircea_popescu very cheap way to attack the gavincoin, too. 20-1 = 19, so then each day costs an extra [23:52]
mircea_popescu ;;calc 24 * 600 * 19 / 1024 [23:52]
gribble 267.1875 [23:52]
mircea_popescu um neh [23:53]
mircea_popescu ;;calc 24 * 6 * 19 / 1024 [23:53]
gribble 2.671875 [23:53]
mircea_popescu 2.67 gb a day extra. whatever that costs, every node is stuck with it. [23:53]
mircea_popescu and there's obviously no defense. valid txn will be relayed. [23:54]
IHB i can't weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up to you guys. my stomach tells me the blocksize should not be raised and if people want to do other stuff they can peg their btc to a sidechain, if that ever becomes reality. [23:54]
* joesmoe has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [23:55]
IHB i would be happy just holding my bitcoin. but only if there was a way to get all this other stuff done, you know the stuff we call bloat [23:55]
IHB like washing machines talking to cars [23:55]
IHB and government schemes in india being run on some sort of chain [23:56]
mircea_popescu uh. [23:56]
BingoBoingo i can't weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up to you guys. my stomach tells me the blocksize should not be raised and if people want to do other stuff they can peg their btc to a sidechain, if that ever becomes reality. << Not an unreasonable thing.
