asciilifeform re: fork wars << i find it strange that the phoundation folks are derping around with block size, etc. rather than shooting for straight dekulakization. [00:00]
mircea_popescu this is just as good, if it passed. [00:00]
asciilifeform or is this more of a 'camel's nose' affair [00:00]
kakobrekla my guess is nobody really knows what the actual fuck is going on. [00:01]
thestringpuller BingoBoingo: you know. we used to have a "no alcohol on sunday" policy. [00:01]
thestringpuller used to not affect, me. Today, I'm like "Sweet time to get beer". [00:01]
asciilifeform what even is the point of gigantic blocks ? [00:01]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla quite certain you're right [00:01]
BingoBoingo what even is the point of gigantic blocks ? << More pretend businesses for the Mr Spamzors [00:02]

mircea_popescu heh. [00:10]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: where was this ? [00:11]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: So, I'm a big Dave Chappelle fan. Anyhow when he got heckled and ragequitting off stage during one of his last stand up shows he came back out and said something to the audience: "You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you're not smart enough to get what I'm doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong. You people are stupid." This is how I [00:11]

mircea_popescu BitPay will soon be dead. They probably make $1000 per month revenue and burn around $500K. [00:12]
mircea_popescu wait.... reddit no longer loves bitpay ? [00:13]
mircea_popescu that leaves what, propping the scam foundation ? [00:13]

* kdomanski (~kdomanski@kolimator.pl) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:13]
mircea_popescu "I think the bigger issue is that Bitpay doesn't have a long term business model. Even assuming that Bitcoin adoption grows, transfer of Bitcoin to fiat is a programmable function. People will immediately cut out the middle man if it becomes less expensive, and its a bit of a race to the bottom as people compete in the space for the best rates, quickest conversion and most apis."

cazalla mircea_popescu, Qntra is not perfect, at least not on an iphone but it's readable [02:39]

cazalla he was just the cameraman, what's the problem?!?! [02:43]
thestringpuller "cameraman" lol [02:44]
mircea_popescu fill me in ? [02:44]
cazalla actually, i don't know the full story, i think thestringpuller has that [02:44]
thestringpuller man this was months ago [02:44]
thestringpuller we were researching and found a few articles saying he was setting up underage girl shoots [02:44]
thestringpuller was technically legal, but sketchy as hell [02:44]
thestringpuller lemme see if I can do some digging [02:44]
cazalla mircea_popescu, he's allege to have run a glamourshots business but claimed he was only the cameraman, i dunno the facts tbh [02:44]
mircea_popescu i thought it was that other derp that got put away for something pedo related [02:45]

undata dude can't even opsec his pedo-ing and he wants my coin [02:47]

asciilifeform why's that annoying you << i have a heuristic for picking lines of inquiry that's heavily weighted against what i know other folks to be doing [02:48]

mircea_popescu "Lets not forget the real paid shills on /r/bitcoin as well. The fuckwits who were paid to spread the usage of 'bit' as a unit.

mircea_popescu asciilifeform yeah but i mean... so it's great, less shit to worry about, someone else;s doing it. [02:49]

mircea_popescu in unrelated news, im kinda blown away that the point that an eulogy's job is to illustrate how great the deceased was and how worthless the world by comparison is somehow controversial. [02:53]

davout my reasoning was, if gavin is a usg muppet, and is indirectly supported by bitpay through the foundation, like i understand you imply in VIII, there isn't that much of a rush since new cash can be poured into bitpay as another round of investment, therefore, no real rush for gavin to push the fork [14:43]

I'm fat in a bunch of weird places, tall, and pretty much just strange to look at. For most of my life, I was bullied, and even at 23 years old, I still experience a bit of bullying, and I internalize every insult I hear. Just a few days ago, a random guy in the street called m [15:15]
mircea_popescu e a "fat fucking faggot" while I was walking home from the grocery store. I know he was probably drunk and not necessarily in the best state of mind, but fuck that shit hurts. Because of that bullying, I really don't have much confidence at all outside of my own work. The first thing I think of when I meet a new person is "I wonder how disgusted he is with me." And because of that self-hatred, I've never sought out rel [15:15]
mircea_popescu ationships. I've had crushes, sure, but whenever the thought of actually forming a romantic relationship with that person would come up, I instantly shot myself down. Through shooting myself down, however, I also shot down that person. "She's shallow," I'd say, "she only wants hot jocks and douchebags. She's not worth my time." I would project all of my self-hatred onto this woman so I could avoid actually working on m [15:15]

davout mircea_popescu: if i don't know how it works and how i take it apart i ain't buying it :D [18:01]
mircea_popescu yeah obv. just, imo better economics all around once that's on the table. [18:01]
davout jurov: i'm trying to figure out exactly what the desirable properties of such an apparatus are [18:01]
mircea_popescu of airgaps ? [18:02]
davout mircea_popescu: yeah, no argument here, does it come with t-shirts? [18:02]
mircea_popescu hopefully lol [18:02]
davout yeah, well the questions i'm thinking about are [18:02]
jurov davout i assume it has a display and "ack" button that transmits the message, and nak button [18:02]
davout should you be able to log what goes through the airgap somehow? [18:02]
davout how do you ensure what goes in on one side of the airgap is what goes out? [18:03]
mircea_popescu well ideally by keeping the pieces simple. [18:03]
kakobrekla i call it 'the gaper' as a tribute to ass gapes. [18:03]
mircea_popescu lol [18:03]
mircea_popescu also, if it has a display, that's your auditor [18:03]
davout jurov: yeah, that's the manual case, but you might want to design an automated airgap [18:03]
mircea_popescu no lma [18:03]
mircea_popescu wtf is wrong with you ? [18:03]
jurov lolwut? [18:04]
davout wat [18:04]
mircea_popescu automated airgap = turning around 360 degrees ? [18:04]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8250 @ 0.00053717 = 4.4317 BTC [-] {2} [18:04]
kakobrekla 720 actually. [18:04]
mircea_popescu let's argue about it. [18:04]
davout wondering about what makes sense and what doesn't here [18:04]
jurov what's the problem with manual checks? [18:05]
mircea_popescu davout for all you know the internet is already automatically airgapped to all hell. [18:05]
davout no probs with manual checks [18:05]
mircea_popescu each hop in a traceroute [18:05]
jurov so then why you want it to be automatic? [18:06]
davout well, maybe there are some use cases where you want a uni-directional airgap [18:06]
davout or maybe you want to enforce that only some sort of messages go through [18:06]
davout guess that doesn't really count as an airgap if there isn't a manual step [18:06]
mircea_popescu like a diode yeah. conceivably. not what an airgap is toh [18:06]
mircea_popescu semiconductors aren't insulators. [18:07]
davout just don't put an emitter on the airgapped machine, no need for fancy semiconductors :D [18:07]
mircea_popescu not what i meant [18:07]
mircea_popescu i meant, your directional, or message-aware or otherwise "airgap" is a semiconductor in the flux [18:08]
mircea_popescu not an airgap (which is simply an insulator) [18:08]
davout we were discussing airgaps earlier, with a good solution being optics, right? [18:08]
mircea_popescu right [18:09]
davout so if you don't put a light emitter on the airgap machine you necessarily end up with a one-way airgap, right? [18:09]
davout that's the case i was thinking about, therefore not seeing a direct link to semi-conductors [18:10]
mircea_popescu well in the theoretical sense of your q, yes. [18:10]
mircea_popescu a diode is exactly this : current goes one way but not the other. [18:10]
davout yup, a diode [18:10]
mircea_popescu so think of your thing as a meta-diode. [18:10]
jurov the airgap isn't about technology, but about being in complete control [18:10]
mircea_popescu it doesn't work on electric flux, but "communication" flux [18:11]
davout yes [18:11]
mircea_popescu a diode, generally speaking, is a semiconductor. [18:11]
jurov if you cede control to software then it's not airgap anymore [18:11]
* joecool has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [18:11]
davout jurov: yup, no argument here [18:11]
mircea_popescu but an airgap is not a semiconductor. the technical argument can be brougth that obviously semiconductors insulate [18:12]
mircea_popescu at least some of the time. [18:12]
mircea_popescu this is valid, but not what airgap means [18:12]

danielpbarron Basically anyone who doesn't update their software will not be able to see the new blocks. They will be on an old network that would no longer be "bitcoin" - until they updated their software. It's very likely that this old network would have no transactions because nobody would bother mining it. --reddit [20:46]

mircea_popescu because reddit sez so! [20:50]
mircea_popescu this adventure makes it quite obvious how the entire libertard political machine is intended to function. sort-of like, it ran into a ravine, now it's suspended, ands you can walk under it safely and admire all the pistons and whatnot without much risk. [20:51]
mircea_popescu reminds me of a much older but quite central asciilifeform point : "These fools have been handed a technology so clever, so disruptive and revolutionary, that the rulers of the world would have to fully unmask themselves as ruthless tyrants in order to suppress it, — or give up their thrones on their own free will — if it were used correctly, that is." [20:52]
mircea_popescu apparently... it is being used correctly eh. [20:52]
asciilifeform ilkka kokkarinen liked to call this concept 'heightening the contradictions.' also known as 'make'em gas you' [20:53]

mircea_popescu so far it;'s a lot more predictive-dialectic. "this is what you will say, and this is why you will be saying it, and this is how you'll respond to the previous statement, and this is why you did that, and this is how..." [20:54]
mircea_popescu supposedly the only form of psychotherapy that works. takes a while tho. [20:54]
