fluffypony: I've just finished installing cmake from ports, so I think I have all the deps
fluffypony: going to try compile and see what explodes
xmj: fluffypony: lemme know once you have it running
xmj: fluffypony: if you hand me a list of dependencies i can cook it into a port. also why are you using freebsd ;)
fluffypony: xmj: I want compatability with fbsd from now and in a way that doesn't require a ports maintainer to patch stuff
fluffypony: so that in future we can just maintain that compatability
fluffypony: instead of having to work backwards
xmj: well that's neat
xmj: do you already have someone who might be able to maintain that port?
fluffypony: we already maintain the Windows / *nix / OS X compatability, so this is just adding to it
fluffypony: but not maintaining a port in the ports tree, no
fluffypony: that you can definitely doa
xmj: oh, but i want to recruit new folks
RagnarDanneskjol: i can help
fluffypony: well in that case can we host the port on our repo or how does it work?
xmj: no no
fluffypony: teach me your ways
xmj: fluffypony: you guys host the software somewhere, e.g. on github or sourceforge or whatever
fluffypony: *ticks box*
xmj: someone (let's call him "new guy") maintains the port for it, you know, Makefile, pkg-descr, pkg-plist and distinfo
xmj: every time a new release comes out he updates Makefile and distinfo with the new stuff, and checks that things still run.
fluffypony: ok so kinda like the guy that maintains the Homebrew tap for us - https://github.com/sammy007/homebrew-cryptonight/blob/master/bitmonero.rb
assbot: homebrew-cryptonight/bitmonero.rb at master sammy007/homebrew-cryptonight GitHub
xmj: then sends a PR (problem report) to bugzilla with a patch attached, and someone like me comes, takes that patch, commits it to ports and all are happy
xmj: fluffypony: bingo
xmj: fluffypony: case in point, it's always awesome to get new people contributing, so if you know someone (else) who'd like to do that
xmj: nag him to take maintainership.
fluffypony: oh no, I don't have boost...building boost is going to take a few hours
xmj: lol
xmj: fluffypony: you can install it with pkgng
fluffypony: xmj: in that case can't we maintain it ourselves?
xmj: well, sure!
fluffypony: ok - a bit later once I've gotten this working or exploding I'll ping you and we can figure out from there
xmj: i figured you'd a) be too lazy to do that yourself and b) have someone else using freebsd you could nag into doing that
xmj: awesome

xmj: not bad :-0
fluffypony: you should check the development branch, way more going on there :-p
xmj: details.. ;)
xmj: why is monero more awesome than everything else?
fluffypony: well the privacy stuff is obviously quite cool
fluffypony: and the stealth addresses are made up of two keys, a view and a spend key
fluffypony: so you can offload your transaction processing by revealing your view key whilst still retaining control of your funds through your spend key
fluffypony: and ring signatures (group signatures) on inputs on tx's makes transactions on the blockchain unlinkable, since an observer can never know whether a utxo has actually been spent or is merely included as part of a ring signature
fluffypony: which leads to neat spin-off projects like this: https://github.com/monero-project/urs/

mircea_popescu: i guess these known affectations are overpopulated and so don't hold as much perceived cachet,. huh. random tramp invited for her tits and drunken antics at some party wouldn't get away with claiming she's the real niece of napoleon's first wife quite as well.

mircea_popescu: punkman that is total bs. women don't walk on their heel. like, at all.
mircea_popescu: unless it's some sort of land whale, the reason she has heels in the first place is because she walks on the ball of her foot anyway.

kakobrekla: so i fire up bitcoind to sync last n days and after only a few min i get traffic in 27 megs, out 50 megs
kakobrekla: is this thing underfed?
kakobrekla: (also my upload speed is one fourth of download)
kakobrekla: i dont have hard data but over the thumb the experience was much better a year ago
kakobrekla: seems like too many leechers in torrent speak
kakobrekla: but dunno, last time i checked bitcoind node count was going down
mircea_popescu: it;'s been underfed for a while.
kakobrekla: its some weird shit
kakobrekla: when in doubt, blame the usg?
mircea_popescu: what's so weird about it tho ?
mircea_popescu: this has been long said here, the #1 problem with the bitcoin protocol is that it has no specific payment for relays, and it allows separation of mining and relay.
kakobrekla: so when i fire it up i would expect it to be heavy on the download not the upload especially with my line asymmetry , instead you get the opposite
kakobrekla: now when its sycned up the upload is gone
mircea_popescu: maybe you have bad pings or some obscure port block from trhe isp ?
kakobrekla: not sure wtf but ill be keepin an eye out
kakobrekla: node count over past 60 days seems kinda stable at 7k
kakobrekla: at lest so is reported on bitnodes.io
mircea_popescu: actually i just looked and it's not nearly as bad as it used to be
mircea_popescu: mebbe peter todd's thing actually helped.

kakobrekla: node count?
kakobrekla: sync speed?

rithm: gotta love courts and judges
ThickAsThieves: if they find they may not, then who might may?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if we were maried and i sued you for divorce and filed this with the admirality court
rithm: lol
mircea_popescu: they'd decide they have no subject matter jurisdiction and throw the case out
mircea_popescu: and it's not their job to say that.
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves weren't you gonna make a BTC record label?

From the Song Dynasty (970–1279 CE) onwards, slow slicing (língchí 凌迟) along with beheading (xiāoshŏu 枭首) were also used. The death penalty could be remitted on payment of 42 guàn in copper cash.

TheNewDeal: please explain
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: machine, in theory, pisses out btc when you insert usd ?
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: hooligan inserts counterfeit usd, walks away with btc.
TheNewDeal: so the idea is to try and forge a benjamin and get a real currency in return?
TheNewDeal: gotcha
TheNewDeal: Although I think if you could produce that quality of a bill, you most likely wouldn't have a problem giving it out to others (non btc atm owners)
jurov: do i see right the camera on top of that bitcoin-teller-machine ?
asciilifeform: jurov: there's traditionally a camera on u.s. atms.
jurov: til
asciilifeform: jurov: this is why scammers, thieves, etc. put on mask.
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: the bar is considerably lower for fooling a machine. (until recently, the readers in american vending machines did not even contain colour cameras.)
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: likewise, if you give a sham benjamin to a living person, he might cry out for help before you can run off.
asciilifeform: with machine - owner finds out, possibly weeks or months later, when he himself is prosecuted
jurov: well, the same was said to my fellow lamassu owner someone will put colored bills from burglared ATM in, etc.
jurov: surprise, apparently it did not happen yet in half a year
TheNewDeal: what was said jurov?
asciilifeform: right now, btc atm, as i understand, is scarce enough - and likewise scarce are the counterfeiters - that they have not yet met in 'true love' match.
jurov: TheNewDeal: they told him everyone will try to fool the machine
asciilifeform: but picture if you were a counterfeiter - could you even wish for a better place to make use of the fakes ?
jurov: well, i suppose they're fachidiots
TheNewDeal: I'm still surprised that you say it's easier to fake a machine than a person
TheNewDeal: would like to see more backup on this
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: let's suppose you have no idea how the machine works
asciilifeform: (it is, in fact, a well-documented mechanism. but imagine.)
TheNewDeal: this is true, I haven't looked into it
asciilifeform: it is considerably safer to experiment on the machine than on your local bank teller or other live set of eyes.
asciilifeform: machine will accept or reject, but is unlikely to be programmed to rat you out (false alarms, terrible pr) and even if it were - has only a scarce idea who 'you' are (wearing your robber's mask.)
TheNewDeal: I would most definitely agree that
asciilifeform: you can try 1,000 variants until works.

cazalla: i wonder if fakes get fed into the machines or if companies like aristocrat have great detection?
asciilifeform: cazalla: read about how such cheats are normally caught.
asciilifeform: cazalla: a casino is an example of a controlled environment. no one comes remotely near a machine - a door, hell, a toilet - without being filmed from several angles

asciilifeform: likewise, with casino, cheat has two basic options - win a little, but have to return many times - or win gigantic barrels, but then intense scrutiny.
cazalla: what they do here to clean the money is feed it in, have a couple spins, withdraw it from machine and it's deemed a win then
cazalla: apparently it's like half the revenue from memory
asciilifeform: unless i somehow misunderstand, btc atm that eats usd removes all of the element of risk from counterfeiting
asciilifeform: which is one more reason why mircea_popescu's prediction from earlier (that the 'saecular authorities' will not molest those who plunder or destroy btc atms) is likely to come true.
asciilifeform: the machines will be blamed for every faux benjamin that turns up, wherever.
cazalla: what's to stop you buying a robocoin, print up some fakes and start draining the machine seeing you're not the one providing the bitcoins it dispenses?
asciilifeform: wait - they actually franchise these ?

jurov: cazalla afaik owner is responsible for cash management himself
cazalla: well they provide the liquidity from exchanges compared to say a lamassu where the owner provides the coins and it can go empty
jurov: they are not that foolhardy
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> must be a template cuz the logo sucks and doesnt match at all <<< looks like it.
jurov: but do they exchange btc for cash? i doubt that, i think owner has to bring the cash to bank and wire them
cazalla: why would you want cash though?
mircea_popescu: <jurov> til << this is the case in slovakia too. look around.
jurov: yes, but camera is not in the front of face
jurov: it's usually nearby of atm
mircea_popescu: this must be a compact design
cazalla: i guess you could always step a homeless guy through it and pay him for his time, handprint, ID etc
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> with machine - owner finds out, possibly weeks or months later, when he himself is prosecuted << there's really no prosecution. i've had fake bills in the common course of business multiple times all over. it happens.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> you can try 1,000 variants until works. << you can buy one and try safely.
asciilifeform: that also.

mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i guess you could always step a homeless guy << fun fact : police in timisoara started getting bonuses by total fine volume. total fine volume went up. total fine arrears went way up. city hall in hot water over it, turns out...
mircea_popescu: all the bums owed massive fines for all sorts of things.
mircea_popescu: romanian law is quite permissive : if he can't pay and has no income, you can convict the guy to community service.
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't show up... well... that's a fine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, never such a problem. they'd simply confiscate houses, cars, mattresses of money, until shortfall vanishes.
mircea_popescu: these were town cops, recently created, coed force, most of the girls ex hookers.
mircea_popescu: i actually got blown by policewoman off main square just for the pedigree.
mircea_popescu: so i leave there and come here, right ? guess what. the town is creating its own town police force, to escape from federal jurisdiction.
mircea_popescu: it's like a time threadmill.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, hilarious
mircea_popescu: it's something else, their uniform actually included heels.
mircea_popescu: the ro ones i mean.
jurov: we even have an euphemism "social worker" exactly for this
mircea_popescu: im all in favour, incidentally. what are the girls to do ?
asciilifeform pictures a future, arabian btc atm, with built-in hand chopper for those who trip some alarm or other.
mircea_popescu: nobody'd use it.
asciilifeform: nobody'd use it << who the hell wants to use today's, with its palm scanner ?
asciilifeform: almost as discouraging.
jurov: i'd prefer it'd accept teeth.. iirc mircea asserted they are very hard to fake
mircea_popescu: dude, you ever got blown ? palm scanner != hand chopper just like being sucked off != having your cock bit off.
mircea_popescu: palmformation wants to be free damnit.
jurov: actually needs not be cut off. just held fast by vacuum till reinforcements arrive
mircea_popescu: also, to encourage the nwo fighters : here in argentina, you can't have a signature certified by any notary unless you leave a thumbprint on the paper. they have little ink things and errything.

asciilifeform: use square wave with no dc offset (or your partner will grumble, chemical burns from hcl)
asciilifeform: salt water is great for electric chair, where the action is over in minutes, but useless here. use the green gel that is sold for eeg machines.
asciilifeform: concept of current ?
asciilifeform: let's guess - explained via demonstration.
mircea_popescu: get a steppable transformer. wrap packing tin foil around dildo, insert. set transformer to low voltage, short over dildo-clit.
mircea_popescu: set transformer on high voltage, short idem.
mircea_popescu: the burn being the same in both cases, shows that current is current.
mircea_popescu: proceed to explain wattage, voltage, amperage.
asciilifeform: bad demo. meat is not an ideal resistive load.
mircea_popescu: so you only use it on feminist chicklets that think the cunt is an ideal material.
mircea_popescu: anyway. experimentally it's pretty close, and when coupled with the subjectivistor inside the subject's skull it works fine.
mircea_popescu: (ie, i didn't measure the effects, i inquired as to the effects)
asciilifeform used a constant-current amplifier
mircea_popescu: was this as part of brain plasticity experiments ?
asciilifeform: byproduct of different experiment.

asciilifeform showed to pet, who believes it's plausible
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it's factual.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform any particular voltage / current one should aim for?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: in which experiment.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you're not seriously going to do this ?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if mircea_popescu's - why ask me. ask your playmates.
mircea_popescu: now listen here kako. i can live with the cardano taking forever. but bitbet gotta stay online.
kakobrekla: well ok i wont do it now that you pointed that out
kakobrekla: still curious about the values, ascii?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: again, values for which. girlfat, or for stage 4 sleep?
kakobrekla: ah sorry i thought that got cleared out. the current through brain.
mircea_popescu: lampelina run honey. i'll keep him busy.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for the latter, i never found a satisfactory setting where i could pronounce the old papers - replicated. but the usual idea is to set 100-200 Hz, square wave (some insist sinusoid instead), constant current (not constant voltage) output, and ramp up from zero.
kakobrekla: logged

BingoBoingo: Called kindling effect
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall an experiment from the '70s where everyone who was placed in apparatus had seizure. from ordinary flash lamp - but not at the familiar 20hz which sets off known sufferers
BingoBoingo: Accidently yourself enough seizures, they'll start coming on their own.
