a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 23:19 mod6: Alright, the Bitcoin Foundation has been discussing all day about using funds to support the bbisp. We are ready to make that commitment.
mod6: lol pantsuits?
ave1: Now if it is a success, we have this powerfull *foundation* (with rules and bylaws etc etc)
ben_vulpes: thanks, ave1
ben_vulpes: remind me of what these rules and bylaws are again?
ave1: If it is a failure, no one is to blame
ben_vulpes: how does that follow from my and mod6 personal responsibility for everything the foundation does
ben_vulpes: what, we release a trb that steals your coins and somehow nobody is to blame? get real
lobbes: yeah ave1, I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. Foundation is two guys who each have a distinct identity that can be impaled by the forum's punishment gazette at any time. I fail to see the pantsuit properties of the solution
ave1: color me embarrassed and properly chastised
ave1: I seem to have tripped over the name *foundation*
ave1: I hereby apologise to lord mod6
ave1: I hereby apologise to lord ben_vulpes
ave1: I will reread the charter and all other relevant documents

diana_coman: mod6, mind giving a bit more detail regarding the business+technical side?
mircea_popescu: gmorning #trilema
mircea_popescu wasn't going to read the logs ; but then hanbot insisted. all the better.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm not against you taking over ; but mind that as you also mention, BingoBoingo 's problem wasn't lack of access to capital (i dunno why this keeps being the expectation, as it's scarcely yet been the case, we're drastically overcapitalized is the entire fucking problem to begin with). BingoBoingo 's problem was lack of access to middle management, and it nigh on killed him. so for this to work, that's the key element.
mircea_popescu: that aside, i don't necessarily want to be paid cash or anything ; carry the same http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-11#1783243 on the books alongside whatever you're adding via the foundation and it'll be fine.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-11 13:57 mircea_popescu: alternatively, i have no problem taking say 1.5 worth of absolutely senior convertible equity in your continuant venture, however you call it.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783451 << very much that exactly. the pantsuit rides on a high and mighty horse of "oh, capitalists don't account for ALL the externalities", hence its trojan horse of "environmentalism", because mind you that people making the civilisation run haven't in their ledger of costs and benefits a line for the obscure pondfish of extinction, and this, while epsilon, IS TILL NOT ZERO!!! concerntrol
a111: Logged on 2018-02-12 19:55 lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783439 << this thread puts much in perspective. In all my arguments with socialist aquaintances, it always seems like it boils down to "well, if there's failure that just means we haven't tried xyz magical configuration of policies yet!". I.e. "goal posts" can be moved ad infinitum (in their eyes, that is)
mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
mircea_popescu: somehow we're asked to forgive the plain fact that pantsuit's socialist paradise will NEVER come, because let's all focus on how some species got extincted for sucking bad enough to need the measure.

BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes might be able to supply middle management if he takes an active interest in this venture. But as per http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/02/13/a-summary-of-bbisp-activity/#comment-114709 I would like to see new management present at least one plan where they envision keeping the corpse warm for a month and pulling the plug if they find it unfeasible in a way that allows BingoBoingo to survive in a position no wosre than
BingoBoingo: after his recent attempt to fly to the sun.
mircea_popescu: how you hodling up ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One day at a time. This has been good for my AA basics even if the local AA seems more cargo cult as my spanish improves.
BingoBoingo: But with the IspWish... With a mircea_popescu venture I had a good idea I was playing with a knife. I have a lot of uncertainty what a mod6, ben_vulpes, alf coalition offers that mircea_popescu didn't other than padding and yet to be determined quality of middle management. If they present an escape plan it would provide a lot of comfort.
mircea_popescu: it's funny what parts turn out rotten/unreliable huh. you'd think there's nothing intrinsically orc about AA, it's a fundamental human thing, how could they botch it ?!
mircea_popescu: then you discover muslims don't know how to fuck, either, and realise that no, being an orc is a very substantial thing. it's not just foreign / neologistic items they fuck up.
mircea_popescu: they're fuckups altogether, as a substance not as a coincidental, environment-driven property.
mircea_popescu: sure as waterlillies nobody put an import tax on AA, there or anywhere else. and yet.
BingoBoingo: Seriously.
mircea_popescu: orc can't be honest. not because doesn't want to or anything, but because honesty requires a live intelligence.
asciilifeform: this particular observation ( mircea_popescu had a 'liars can't invent' article ) i found fascinating and tried several times to write a piece in application re particular historic charlatans , but failed to say anyffingnew
BingoBoingo: Finding someone here to do Step 5 with here was a challenge for that reason.
mircea_popescu: can't you call any of the old time folk in the us ?
BingoBoingo: I have been doing that, but for Step 5 it doesn't seem right if you can't look the other person in the eye
mircea_popescu: there is that.
BingoBoingo: Gotta have a live intelligence to reflect against, to get the relief outta being honest
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783476 << crowdsourced middle management is a rather terrible idea ; are you familiar with say the potemkin rebellion, or generally the early (properly soviet) phase of russian revolution ?

asciilifeform: quasi-relatedly, seems like BingoBoingo has already not 1 but 2 working and synced trb nodez
asciilifeform: i somehow missed this
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is one bitcoind instance talking outta two ips.
mircea_popescu: pretty vool.
BingoBoingo: It turns out trb doesn't bind to a port. Thusly if you change the myip parameter other boxes will talk to it on the old ip out of habit in addition to the new.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at the risk of pedantry , it binds indeed to a port, http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/net.cpp?v=makefiles#1174 , BUT! , does not bind ~to one ip~ , http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/net.cpp?v=makefiles#1206
asciilifeform: prolly oughta be fixed.
BingoBoingo: The pedantry in this case is appreciated.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: congrats incidentally on uncovering the must-fix-itude of this
mircea_popescu: not so clear why it needs to be fixed ?
BingoBoingo: Not necessarily a must fix. We have a cheap and easy hack to fill a fuckton of ip space if necessary.
mircea_popescu: i've been usinfg it for years.
asciilifeform: i also using for years. but suppose you wanted to run two instances of trb on one box, on separate ips.
asciilifeform: (why, is separate q : perhaps a testing trb, and a classical trb ? )
mircea_popescu: the concept of separation here is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: even if you do so run two, you still want both to see the whole "pool"
asciilifeform: fact of the matter is that all reasonably well-behaved socket proggies take a config as to where to bind
asciilifeform: rather than 'bahahaha i'ma take up whole box'
mircea_popescu: apparently not.
mircea_popescu: the concept of "separation" is not useful.
asciilifeform: what's the use of plugging >1 ip addr into a box, if all the proggies get served on all of'em
mircea_popescu: that the heathens can't discern how many boxes
mircea_popescu: strictly, STRICTLY that.
asciilifeform: but in this case , observe, they ~can~
mircea_popescu: you didn't.
BingoBoingo: Only because it has been mentioned
asciilifeform: ( i didn't bother to. but eventually would notice that when one is hanging, so is other )
mircea_popescu: maybe bad switch
asciilifeform: similarly a heathen could get himself malleused and notice that both 'separate' nodes simultaneously disconnect him
BingoBoingo: Ironically when I tried to force bitcoind onto one ip through an iptables rule that did make it hang. Since I stopped trying that it hasn't hung.
asciilifeform: at any rate this is an easy patch if somebody finds a reason to patch it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> similarly a heathen could get himself malleused and notice that both 'separate' nodes simultaneously disconnect him << At this point heathen is expending effort

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you ordered these boxes from asciilifeform and then threw hands up over the whole thing; still want them disked and racked any preference on which?
asciilifeform: 1 (dulap) disked; other 2 want disks ( can be filled within 2-3 days after mp writes in re what he wants in'em )
ben_vulpes: so asciilifeform you see why i'm advertising the slot?
asciilifeform: and additionally if he wants FGs in the 2, how many in each ( the max that fits comfortably is 2 ) , and they must then be subtracted from the inventory.
asciilifeform: !!up jurov_moving
deedbot: jurov_moving voiced for 30 minutes.
ben_vulpes: ohai jurov
asciilifeform: dare i to ask, where'ya moving to, jurov_moving , and from where ?
jurov_moving: Bought a house for btc back in october, this week we're finally moving.
asciilifeform: aa neat
ben_vulpes: settled in btc even?
ben_vulpes: what a time to be alive
ben_vulpes: hey would you be so kind as to push 3.3 btc of foundation funds to mod6's deedbot account?
jurov_moving: Yes, will try to get to my wallet asap. Please make signed request, btw.
ben_vulpes: ty jurov_moving
lobbes: Congrats on house jurov_moving

a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 17:37 TomServo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783810 << Coincidentally, this is my real name, aha. Which is also on the list, getting new key under real name.
lobbes: Can always just state realname in logs/blog and point to it when asked. (speaking of which, I realize I never have done this. So, for the logs, my real name is Eric Benevides)
TomServo: lobbes: Continuity break? As I understood there was a (perhaps annoying to trinque) process for renewing keys.
ben_vulpes: TomServo: you're talking about updating the nonsense "name" field on your kochrsa key?
TomServo: ben_vulpes: I'm talking about changing my irc handle, such as yourself.
asciilifeform: a number of folx changed handles, it doesn't break anything
TomServo: Wouldn't a FG powered kochrsa be preferred over no FG?
ben_vulpes: what do *you* prefer, TomServo
TomServo: That would be my preference, but if you're telling me there is no benefit in it, I wouldn't bother.
lobbes: For some reason I had the delusion that handle and key were inexorably linked in deedbot. I stand corrected
lobbes: So I guess only "breakage" here would be in log only, which wouldn't be a breakage at all to those paying attention
ben_vulpes: TomServo: not saying no benefit, would actually be a great thing to do and write up: "so you want to fuckgoats your gpg"
trinque: there is no process for changing the key-nick relationship other than asking me pretty please
trinque: and the volume of these does not merit automation, and there are significant downsides to automating it.
trinque: wise folks will pick both a nick and key they can live with.
asciilifeform: fwiw i never felt any urge to change nick. it is short enuff and if someone laughs at it it does me no harm. i sign my posts with human name fwiw.
TomServo: I think a new key is neccessary in my case and figured if changing nicks, that'd be the time.
TomServo: ben_vulpes: Surprised this has not been done. I'll add to the (geological!) list.
trinque: ah, in which case can just register it
TomServo: trinque: and forego any existing ratings?
trinque: well, I open that up to the forum. they rated "TomServo" with key K1. TomServo comes along and demonstrates to me that he controls both K1 and K2, and wants to transfer ratings to K2 under $newNick.
TomServo: Perhaps I misremember, didnt' asciilifeform renew a key and maintain ratings?
asciilifeform: TomServo: i still have same modulus as when first tuned in
asciilifeform: no fewer than 3 times submitted 'updated' gpg pub with new date ( finally got tired of this, put in a null date )
trinque: TomServo: I have so far made an exception for the fig-leaf expiration field, with the understanding that this exception goes away when P
trinque: they're not of the same form though; this is "trinque is now trusted to do arbitrary swaps between keys and ratings"
trinque: and I'm dim on wanting to make that a "feature"
TomServo: Makes sense.
trinque: undermines that you are *THAT MODULUS*
asciilifeform: trinque: imho it would be reasonable for you to charge something, for the labour of modulus swap
trinque: isn't the labor involved
trinque: it's what the meaning of holding a particular key is.
TomServo: exception goes away, meaning folks are generally expected to make a new key when P exists?
trinque: oughta be able to import parameters neh?
trinque: I pgpdump the db and extract them on my end, seamless transition
trinque: TomServo: not saying people are expected to do any particular thing yet
asciilifeform: i for one intend to retire the modulus i made on kochian prng.
trinque: that's what "open that up to the forum" means
trinque: TomServo: how will folks that rated you under one nick and key know that I (hypothetically) moved your ratings to another nick and key
trinque: I think when you start enumerating those kinds of cases, there are many, and it's the sort of systemd hair we're familiar with.
BingoBoingo: !~ticker --market all
trinque: I am now damned to manage every exception
asciilifeform: trinque: consider one possible cut of the knot : people to rate moduli, not nicks
asciilifeform: ( i.e. the pov that nick is merely a convenient method of referring to a key . )
trinque: I'm clearly leaning towards that they rate keys, yes
asciilifeform: it seems to me to be The Right Thing
asciilifeform: nick is clothes worn by a key.
trinque: indeed. and moving them to another meaningless. your friends like you, they'll rate you again.
trinque: if not, what was the point of the rating? a merit badge?
asciilifeform: well the friends who still live.
trinque: can keep the historic key too and tell the grandkids remember when
asciilifeform: ( there was an old mp thread tho, about this, where he convincingly argued that only live people matter in re ratings )
trinque: there's also the interesting question of what wot ratings look like in a gossipd world. yes, I will still warehouse my repository of wot data, but I'd also be happy to chatter ratings to other nodes.
trinque: that can either be a simple protocol, or a complex one with key history and whatever other nonsense gets dreamed up.
trinque: I think simple's right.
asciilifeform: whatever else is done -- simple protocols are best.
asciilifeform: ( but trick is, simple ~when seen as a whole~, rather than 'html-simple' where the building block is simply very dumb and to do anything even slightly complicated on it, requires herculean effort )
asciilifeform: think back to the 'commonlisp vs scheme' wars.
trinque: indeed, only so simple as completeness allows.
asciilifeform: relatedly i burned much time on graphics-generators but in the end threw all out, ended up writing ch10's physical diagrams in ordinary htm
asciilifeform: ( as painted 'table's)
mod6: The band is all back together!
mod6: Nice.
mod6: trinque: do I need to do anything to get setup for jurov's tx to my deedbot acct? I've never set it up ...
jurov: !!help
lobbesbot: jurov: Sent 1 day, 0 hours, and 6 minutes ago: <lobbes> plox to ping mod6 once ya get the chance
mod6: Hi.
jurov: Hello. Looking up how to obtain BB's address.
mod6: I'm not sure if I need to setup anything for my deedbot acct.
jurov: Or I must deposit to my wallet first?
mod6: I dunno either :D
mod6: !!balance
jurov: !!deposit 3.3
mod6: Whoops, sorry. Don't know who's is who's.
mod6: trinque: halp.
jurov: Perhaps i can send to BB's address directly? I don't like mixing up foundations funds with my own deedbot wallet anyway.
mod6: lemme find it here...
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783949 << I think if you can somehow get it into my account, then I can have whomever invoice me or what not.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 17:58 ben_vulpes: hey would you be so kind as to push 3.3 btc of foundation funds to mod6's deedbot account?
ben_vulpes: mod6: if you make a deposit call, can you give jurov the address and amount to send?
jurov: I know Bingo's 1Ewe... addy but he best confirm he still has the privkey
jurov: Or whatever addy ben_vulpes/mod6 send me signed, ofc.
ben_vulpes: jurov: hang on, deposit to mod6's account
mod6: ben_vulpes: I probably can later indeed. I've never used this before, need trinque to help here.
ben_vulpes: mod6: run !!deposit 3.3 , decrypt it and send the results to jurov
mod6: Alright. I can do that a bit later.
ben_vulpes: jurov will then send the exact quoted amount to that addr and bob's your aunt we should be fine
mod6: Probably will have to wait until tomorrow for Jurov to make the actual tx since it's probably getting late there for him.
ben_vulpes: we can run it async, just paste him the deets encrypted
jurov: I'm ready to do it now
ben_vulpes: jurov: i'm guessing mod6 is away from his keys
ben_vulpes: i'll do it, standby one
ben_vulpes: !!deposit 3.3
ben_vulpes: !!v D2AD376C41204078EEB33F217EBD9010D5255241FF9402E4EC6928672DD9556C
jurov: ben_vulpes: got it
mod6: Thanks guys!
BingoBoingo: And irony of monkey fucking ironies. Guess who has a local bank account today. BRB, tengo una leccion de Español (not a euphamism).
mod6: Omg, YAY!

jurov: any other urgent demands on Teh Treasury?
jurov: congrats BingoBoingo!
jurov: Aaand, how actually the BISP deal works? Is the Foundation now owner?
mod6: jurov: We're working out the details on that. Good question though.
