asciilifeform: and no need for bdb, boost, turdolate on other box
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu lol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu won't give us his soviet calculator proggy, dooming us to rewrite it
mircea_popescu hires some lobbysts to sit on the standards group and prevent this evil.
mod6: yeah, but personally, i wanna start simple. and then work our way up to major changes.
mod6: if do slash and burn first, we're gonna have unforseen issues
mod6: and noone wants that
asciilifeform: slash&burn first is more or less what we're doing
asciilifeform: (assuming we're doing something)
decimation: slash and burn makes for more readable code
asciilifeform hasn't done particularly much something
asciilifeform just wanted a goddamned book he could take to the forest and go Hmmm with
mircea_popescu: that's how troubles start.
mod6: eh, yeah, these things are all great ideas. and necessary. but i think the best course of action is to get something up and working as a baseline with the most minimal changes possible so we have something to run when derpistan puts in the hardfork
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, and somewhat from experience : while the serial thing is a solid design, i suspect it's also a bridge too far
mircea_popescu: prolly a better idea to keep things sane and incrementally improve ?
mod6: that's plausibly only 8 weeks out. and we'd better have something to run by then. i don't wanna be chasing crazy changes down when we could have just gotten something simple running first.
asciilifeform oils gachette of slash&burn blaster
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> prolly a better idea to keep things sane and incrementally improve ? << this is the way it must be done. even though slash and burn feels so damn good.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not happening, at all. but that notwithstanding, you do have a solid point, as a general thing. and 8 weeks is certainly narrower a frame than anything usgavin&co can do.
mod6: understood. i worry about these jokers.
mircea_popescu: they're much less apt than they pretend to be. but that aside : ineptitude of the enemy is no excuse to derp.
mircea_popescu: these are all valuable changes. just, i'm persuaded by your smaller steps approach.
mircea_popescu: theoretical conflict of interest or no.
asciilifeform: doesn't get any smaller or simpler than scuttling the obvious crud.
asciilifeform: i gave example.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well the discussion is if the json-rpc part is in the obvious crud or in the eventual crud group
mod6: and it's a great example. but it makes me nervous. cutting out stuff like that in something as poorly written as this is just ... frightning.
asciilifeform: json parser - crap
asciilifeform: here's some unambiguous crap - ssl
mod6: who knows what effects can be seen.... and sure, i could spend 3 months with gdb just trying to chase stuff down. this is going to be a methodical process of eradication.
asciilifeform: (not the ecdsa calls - well, them too, ought to be redone - but the https idiocy. needs to go.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about this for a principle : step 1, take all the stuff that can be taken out without therefore forcing different stuff being put in ; step 2 take out the stuff that needs replacement, sorted by the complexity of the needed replacement, ascending.
asciilifeform: that was my suggestion
asciilifeform: from the start
mod6: you have some great ideas about changes that need to be made. and I really do think we'll get to doing them. bitcoin will be better for it.
mircea_popescu: that means the json crap stays for now doesn't it ?
asciilifeform: notice i left it in
asciilifeform: first - the skin warts. then the tumours.
mod6: see, im of the opinion that we don't cut out anything. first we add.
asciilifeform: add what ?
mircea_popescu: i'm the first to say that the only practicable way to run this is as a two machine, serial connected thing, so that's not changing.
mod6: we add patches from stuff up to 6.3
mircea_popescu: oh he has a point. step 0 : merge the stuff that's acxtually useful in.
asciilifeform: like what ?
mod6: then once we have our baseline... something that can be used, and we can feel pretty good about with not years worth of testing, then we start to implement these major changes. then we see the UI go away from core, the rpc commands, etc.
mircea_popescu: even if it's the void set, still step 0.
mod6: we've dealt with it for 5 years, what's another 3-6 months?
asciilifeform bored, wanders off to pet pet
mircea_popescu has serious trouble thinking people have actually used the stock braindamage for more than a few month before branching it off
mod6: :(
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 49211 @ 0.000745 = 36.6622 BTC [+] {4}
mircea_popescu: which is by now becoming a major problem in waiting, because under the hollow pretense of the power rangers, the codebase is actually fractured to all shit.
mod6: yeah, i think you're right that any place that actually gives a shit about the bitcoind they run, probably made their own changes immediately.
mod6: my philosophy on this project is: first, do no harm.
mod6: get us to a point where we can feel good about just what we're starting with.
mod6: once there, then start to schedule in the amputations.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> even if it's the void set, still step 0. << so this totally could be a void set. but we'll certainly look at what changes are in here post v0.5.3->6.3 just to ensure that we don't miss anything (http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/10/20_a-summary-of-changes-to-bitcoin-since-0321.html)
mod6: and if there is anything that's deemed "required", we'll be putting those things in. getting us to the baseline.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: your chronicles: 'importprivkey' is more or less inescpable (how the fuck can one do anything technological with the thing, lacking it?)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: but why qr codes?
assbot: Deap Vally - Gonna Make My Own Money - Official Video - YouTube
asciilifeform waits for someone to say 'i keep all me coin in the iPnohe'
asciilifeform doesn't see why qr code modem belongs in the already overcrowded rocket
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the qr code is a legitimate optoseparator
asciilifeform: crappy separator
mircea_popescu: there do exist qr reader guns with reasonably simple internals commonly available.
asciilifeform: everyone in the room & across the street can see.
mircea_popescu: why crappy ?
asciilifeform: tempest.
mircea_popescu: you can print just as well.
asciilifeform: really belongs as a piped apparatus though
mircea_popescu: the advantage of this arrangement is that it can be made easily and inconspicuously.
asciilifeform isn't thrilled with the encouragement of exposing privkeys to the atmosphere, so to speak, by trivial optical export
mircea_popescu: nobody's encouraging it. as long as it's there, people gotta keep tempest going.
mircea_popescu: this is expensive. let them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you really think it's still done with a van full of knob-twiddling sp00kz0rz ?
mircea_popescu: however it's done, it's still expensive and scales poorly.
asciilifeform: done with automatics, usable by chimp, approx. the size of iPnohe (minus receiving horn)
mircea_popescu: i've yet to capture one of those.
asciilifeform: there's one flying not far from where i live.
mircea_popescu: how much do you figure it cost ?
asciilifeform: it was announced with some fanfare, too. (who has the balloon link?)
asciilifeform: no idea what it costs, other than the fact usg can get as many of these as it likes.
asciilifeform: back to qr codes per se: who builds the reader with no stateful internals?
asciilifeform: every single one i've ripped open, had a micro
asciilifeform: if going for optical, better keep it edisonian. as in, helically-inscribed 1d barcode.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: then can read a la phonograph.
asciilifeform: print - with ordinary printer.
asciilifeform wonders if anyone has returned to paper tape
asciilifeform: or if it will have to wait for mechanicoin.
asciilifeform: and wai wat, who ever said tempest needs to scale.
asciilifeform: there's maybe 10 worthwhile 'patients' alive.
asciilifeform: and 3-5 of them are reading log here.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how bureaucracy works :)
asciilifeform: tempest horn doesn't have to belong to the crown.
PinkPosixPXE: These girls are very enthusiastic about making their own money, and being independently wealthy
assbot: Deap Vally - Gonna Make My Own Money - Official Video - YouTube

mircea_popescu: to write run, bitch run review or not to write run, bitch, run review...
asciilifeform would like to suggest a term, 'dependently wealthy'
PinkPosixPXE: Yea, not a bad song... Not certain how I feel about it.. interesting..
mircea_popescu snubs nose at song. o looky, chicky got electric guitar, not catching her fingers in the chords anymore even!

asciilifeform: both prior to patch

mircea_popescu: !up TheShrander

decimation: instead you had a pre-patch and pre-patch cut :)
decimation: at any rate, I got it compiled and working, immediately began downloading blocks
decimation: one item of note - it is amusing that the copyright notices suddenly changed from "Satoshi Nakamoto" to "The Bitcoin Developers"
decimation: like, is that a legal entity?
asciilifeform: decimation: the patch removed crap that was ifdef'd out anyway
decimation: yeah I noted that
mircea_popescu: decimation because that's how maggots become cattle owners.
mircea_popescu: it's... their corpse, right ?
asciilifeform: decimation: i haven't any idea what 'the bitcoin developers' are. presumably it's a mythical set that includes, even us.
decimation: heh that's what I thought
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just like "us representatives" as a mythical set includes even you.
asciilifeform: let's change that string to 'bitcoin maggots'
mircea_popescu: let's just change it to what it originally was.
mircea_popescu: kinda the point of the fucking reaction innit.
decimation: yeah, I would revert it all to satoshi
asciilifeform looks at 0.1
asciilifeform: satoshi '09 ?
mircea_popescu: then qntra can run a piece about how bitcoin foundation reverted a missatribution created by usgavin of the bitcoin scamdation, where it falsely attrivbuted bitcoin to an inexistent group instead of satoshi
asciilifeform: sorta misleading, considering that the turdball presently under consideration isn't maggot-free
decimation: yeah it's a bit early
decimation: but I like the sentiment
mircea_popescu: yeah not yet, just, best way to publicly announce this.
decimation: an interesting history of the real details of how comint was shared by the allies
decimation: Hut-3 and 3-US was the US liason hut at Bletchley Park:
decimation: "Much that went on in 3-US was not properly the business of Hut 3. Such questions, for example, as which individuals at American commands should be entitled to have access to Ultra, or what action should be taken on violations of security regulations at American commands-questions which on the British side were handled at Broadway Buildings-were normally handled in 3-US."
decimation: so basically there was a whole pile of people who appeared-to-be-in-charge who were not, and security was effective because a small number were involved

HeySteve: not any more
HeySteve: yeah got tired of chasing down the news, on hiatus
mircea_popescu: ;;rate HeySteve 1 Fairer sex connoisseur
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user HeySteve has changed from 1 to 1.
mircea_popescu: a better title anyway.
HeySteve: sure enough
HeySteve: she's getting some food, will tell her to email
HeySteve: argentina still treating you well, mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: lol what, you're living together ?
mircea_popescu: argentina is indeed a pleasure.
HeySteve: nope
mircea_popescu: yes it is.
HeySteve: heh ok fine
HeySteve: things here are still ok, if you don't turn on the news
mircea_popescu: o were you trying to get out ?
HeySteve: I can leave to Canada or EU any time but committed to some projects here for a while
HeySteve: but yeah, that's the long term plan
HeySteve: so I'm guessing if Gavin forks the chain, you'll be sticking with the tried and true?
mircea_popescu: the reaction is the reaction for not being revolutionary, after all.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i do is the lesser part. the best thing gavin & co could do is fork themselves outside of this project.
mircea_popescu: simply leaving would be about as big a deal, but not nearly as lolproductive.
HeySteve: if what they do is as bad as all that, perhaps satoshi will break radio silence again
mircea_popescu: ain't happening.
Duffer1: again? what'd i miss?
HeySteve: hmm but if they compromise it somehow, he could squelch them with three words, like dorian story
Duffer1: oh right
mircea_popescu: HeySteve not really, for one thing, and more likely to wring his own neck than anything.

Mikayla: APPARENT suicide...
undata: who kills himself with a nail gun
Mikayla: Am I the only one who feels a conspircy coming on?
undata: certainly not
Mikayla: ya no it doesn't sound 100% effective
Mikayla: imagine living through it?
Mikayla shudders
undata: right, that's a punishment
undata: a suicidal person goes for effectiveness
Mikayla: uh huh
Mikayla: I feel a mob attack vibe
undata: "Kill him with a nail gun." "Yeah boss"
Mikayla: yip
Mikayla: haha
mircea_popescu: HeySteve mod6 Mikayla i dunno, i kinda feel bad for the bankers.
mircea_popescu: their "crimes" are entirely based on rules the government had no authority to make, and certainly has no authority to enforce.
mircea_popescu: they're just middleaged pencilnecks being bullied, essentially.
Mikayla: just the nail gun is suspect
Mikayla: why not gas yourself in your car?
mircea_popescu: Mikayla speaking of mob attack vibes, what's the situation there like, for a hot white gal ?
mircea_popescu: to judge by the media reports it's nothing but a rapefest.
Mikayla: I own a bitpull. have very high walls. electronic gate. latches on the door.
mircea_popescu: a bitpull ?!
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha epic.
assbot: Last 5 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/15XHWQ3.txt )
undata: those are great dogs
undata: Mikayla: guns too?
mircea_popescu: pitbulls ?
Mikayla: she's a rescue
undata: ah yeah, loyal, super fun
Mikayla: not a gun. yet.
undata: I love pits
undata: they'll tear someone in half, but *for you*
Mikayla: yip
Mikayla: my german shepard was poisoned
Mikayla: she's still a puppy but never leaves my side
undata: that's awful.
undata: Mikayla: shooting's a skill I think everyone should have
Mikayla: guns aren't easy to obtain here
undata: ah well... I grew up in texas
undata: they hand them out in kindergarden there
Mikayla: I know

PinkPosixPXE: !up Mikayla
Mikayla: thanks :)
PinkPosixPXE: sure thing :)
mircea_popescu: the question as to exactly *how* assbot removes her voice is left as an exercise to the onanist.
Mikayla: he doesn't like my boobages
mircea_popescu: Mikayla get a wot account, i'll rate you, then you can self-voice and it be permanent.
mircea_popescu: lol well you do have perhaps the worst potato of a camera.
Mikayla: hush :/
Mikayla: It's the energy saving bulbs
mircea_popescu: bulbous energy savings.
PinkPosixPXE: Hope you can stay safe Mikayla, that sounds scary. Electric gate seem like a good idea, and dogs are great protectors, or at the very least alarm systems :). I should look into an electric gate, I want to setup a few security cams soon as well (despite living in a safe neighborhood, in my opinion, no where is truly safe).
undata: portland is filled with zombie bums on meth
undata: hence, weapons
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE no, here it's safe.
undata: I got my first gun after being mugged in Houston
mircea_popescu: so if someone tries it again you gonna smoke the mofo ?
PinkPosixPXE: I do own a glock 19, and have a concealed carry permit, but I'd like to prevent intruders from even bothering, before facing the alternative...
Mikayla: it's illegal to shoot someone here though
Mikayla: no idea why then guns are even allowed?
PinkPosixPXE: Yea, I imagine the gun laws are much different
undata: mircea_popescu: it would have to escalate severely for me to consider it
Mikayla: I don't even think you're allowed a gun in public
Mikayla: I know it needs to be locked in a gun safe
mircea_popescu: weird, i thought the boers were all about gun slingin'.
Mikayla: "Please mister Robber. Wait a bit white I unlock my safe to get my gun"
undata: it's not as though I'd take joy in blowing some mentally ill guy away
PinkPosixPXE: yea, they'll hold the gun straight to your head, but you better keep yours in a safe so you are a 'law abiding citizen'
Mikayla: I'd shoot someone in my home who planned to make me statistic
undata: that's bullshit
mircea_popescu: undata my perhaps overstated point being that unless you're ready to shoot you don't really have much use for a gun.
Mikayla: LOL
Mikayla: exactly
undata: mircea_popescu: reach into bag, pull out?
mircea_popescu: and be fed it ?
undata: I tend to have a laptop on me
mircea_popescu: guns aren't really for showing.
Mikayla: they're meant for shooting
Mikayla: which sounds so redundant
undata: but I moved from Houston; Portland's less about mugging and more about the odd home invasion
mircea_popescu: Mikayla an' boots are made for walkin' ?
Mikayla: haha
Mikayla: I actually love boots
mircea_popescu: i have yet to meet a girl with big tits that hates boots.
undata: mircea_popescu: inside the house it'd take me about 5sec to be ready
Mikayla: think it's a standard?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, coincidence, rule of the universe, something in between...
Mikayla: heh
mircea_popescu: undata granted, against a home invasion it's a good play.
mircea_popescu: on the street tho... dubious at best.
PinkPosixPXE: In CCW training they really push the practice of grabbing your firearm as quickly as possible, and defending yourself as need be. Always keeping it in a specific spot most convenient for easy access.. etc.. just depends on the situation though.. Home vs. My car on the bad side of town..
Mikayla: other bit of security is that I don't go outside at night
undata: mircea_popescu: maybe when the US falls apart I can just strap it
PinkPosixPXE: They also go over all the legalities, and what you have to truly consider, and understand comes with using your weapon, or even pulling it out/unholstering it.
mircea_popescu: Mikayla do you go outside naked ?
Mikayla: I just take shitty webcam photos
Mikayla: *lol*
undata: but no, the streets aren't dangerous enough here to need that
Mikayla: It doesn't matter what a person goes out in
Mikayla: you're a target
Mikayla: found a man hidding in the bush once
Mikayla: a guy was with me and we were talking outside a neighbours home in a car
Mikayla: and he kept saying there's a man in that bush
Mikayla: it was a bush on a wall feature outside a gate
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 34500 @ 0.0007993 = 27.5759 BTC [-] {2}
Mikayla: truce as bob. It was man.
Mikayla: phoned the police. A year later they're yet to show up.
Mikayla: I'm sure it's not illegal for my dog to kill a man in my yard though?
Mikayla: everything has a loop hole
mircea_popescu: it probably is, yeh
Mikayla: naaaaaah
Mikayla: I'll take my chances
undata: first thing after the revolution, some goddamn sovereignty over one's personal property
undata: Mikayla: sorry, the state obligates you to protect that man! he's just sick.
Mikayla: nah well the dog can't be legally punished
Mikayla: I think it is a loophole
Mikayla: they won't ask me to put my dog down who attacked a man in my property
Mikayla: I win?
mircea_popescu: mebbe you do, iu have no idea what the law's like there.
Mikayla: you can't kill someone no matter what they do sort of law
Mikayla: you're meant to injure them
mircea_popescu: well honestly, if someone tried to mug me i'd rather shoot them in the shoulder than kill them.
mircea_popescu: if particularly obnoxious, shoot out each knee, then each hip, then each shoulder, then call them an ambulance.
Mikayla: the thing is they don't just mug you here
mircea_popescu: about even odds they ever mug anyone again, depending if they carry insurance.
mircea_popescu: Mikayla hence "<mircea_popescu> Mikayla speaking of mob attack vibes, what's the situation there like, for a hot white gal ? to judge by the media reports it's nothing but a rapefest."
Mikayla: without dampening the mood here. There was a girl, around 16, gang raped by men and a broken beer bottle....
Mikayla: I'll take my chances of my dog killing the person
mircea_popescu: well, but is it mostly factual or mostly media hysteria is what i want to know
Mikayla: the media reports very poorly
mircea_popescu: so how do you knoiw about this girl ?
Mikayla: arrest rate it poor
Mikayla: and a person doesn't stay in prison very long - one of the reasons being the prisons are too full
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 26700 @ 0.00079377 = 21.1937 BTC [-]
undata: man... I am all for the revolutionary terror of women killing attempted rapists
mircea_popescu: undata women suck at killing men.
Mikayla: news - she was mentioned quite a lot in the news due to the disgusting nature of how she died and how long it took the find the culprits
mircea_popescu: Mikayla but do you see my point ?
undata: mircea_popescu: I sort of want to ask "why did no one escort her if it's that dangerous?"
undata: in most circles I think that labels me a sexist?
Mikayla: it's unfair to be chaperoned every where you go
Mikayla: and it isn't always easy
mircea_popescu: well, depends if she's the dependent sort of woman that lives as property of men or the independent sort that does not. for the latter your idea is scarcely a solution.
Mikayla: I've had to walk to buy electricity at night once
Mikayla: life happens
PinkPosixPXE: yea.. you can't always setup ideal situations
Mikayla: Only had one attack on me in the street and I was 17 then
mircea_popescu: Mikayla so what happened ?
undata: mircea_popescu | undata women suck at killing men. << in a violent society, what's to be done about this fact?
Mikayla: some old homeless guy grabbed me
Mikayla: ok wait - twice.
mircea_popescu: undata nothing. a violent society forces women into dependent roles willy-nilly.
undata: not saying lets all convert to Islam; my lady walks around Portland herself just fine
Mikayla: first time 16 and the homeless guy tried to make out with me
Mikayla: it's unfair a person must live like they're in a prison
Mikayla: everyone has a right to freedome
mircea_popescu: Mikayla you know, the weird thing they do here, is try to kiss girls. just like that, randomly. cause this is romanticised, and so...
mircea_popescu: Mikayla everyone has the right to the freedom they actually want.
undata: ^^^
Mikayla: it's not like a person goes and walks in the street at night because they're bored
PinkPosixPXE: I worked at a datacenter, on graveyards for a while, in a rough part of town, and had to walk 3 blocks in the ghetto to a parking garage every night... I had a few scary encounters, and ended up carrying a stun gun at that point. The security gaurds could escort you only so far off the property too, so you just had to be on gaurd..
mircea_popescu: course the bitch of all time is that young women are exactly at an age when they're simultaneously a) unclear as to what they actually want and b) attractive. pretty much everyting about living things is made out of bottlenecks like that.
Mikayla: my fear of a weapon like a stun gun is that it gets used on me
mircea_popescu: Mikayla well, strong muscular contractions. sex toy basically.
Mikayla: lol
undata: haha oh dear
Mikayla: gosh reminding me of a movie :(
Mikayla: um...
Mikayla: I spit on your grave 2
PinkPosixPXE: Yea, any weapon you carry can be used against you, it's an important thing to be mindful of, that's where the training to use it, and learn some self defense tactics comes in.
mircea_popescu: undata what do you thing slavegirls wear dog collars for :D
Mikayla: at least with a gun the first shot has a major impact and quick
undata: mircea_popescu: in the case of the stun gun, you might get a little zap yourself
PinkPosixPXE: I'm very small, so someone's always going to have a natural advantage, strength wise.
Mikayla: oh I'm tiny
mircea_popescu: undata rapists these days use condoms.
Mikayla: 5'3"
Mikayla: not here...
undata: mircea_popescu: man, progress everywhere...
Mikayla: gosh. I'm going to really warp your minds if I continue....
mircea_popescu: no hon, teh minds are well warped.
mircea_popescu: im taking credit for that one.
Mikayla: here it's a norm to rape a 3 day old baby :( the person doesn't even care what disease they have :(
mircea_popescu: Mikayla what's norm mean ? like, every 3yo you know got raped ?
PinkPosixPXE: 4'11 :/ .. Yea, I'm already a little overly paranoid, I think it's wise to be so Mikayla, so good for you..
Mikayla: But I am a volunteer at the voting stations so hopefully it'll change
mircea_popescu: wait a second.
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE you're FOUR FEET ?!
mircea_popescu: !up Mikayla
Mikayla: mircea_popescu it happens A LOT
PinkPosixPXE: 4 feet, 11 inches
undata: Mikayla: this is a poor black superstition thing right?
undata: this is what's not being mentioned
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE so truly a pixie!
Mikayla: undata different reasons. Some believe having sex with a virgin cures age
mircea_popescu: Mikayla yes but what's a lot mean.
mircea_popescu: having sex with a virgin does not cure age.
Mikayla: mircea_popescu a baby is raped or killed every 3 seconds in Africa
mircea_popescu: having sex with a teenager cures age. and she'd better not be a virgin.
Mikayla: ugh
mircea_popescu: Mikayla according to the news ?
undata: Mikayla: holy fucking statistic
Mikayla: shuddering
Mikayla: change of topic
Mikayla: mircea_popescu statistics
undata: Mikayla: govt ones?
mircea_popescu: published by whom ?
Mikayla: mircea_popescu reported crimes
Mikayla: nevermind those not reported...
mircea_popescu: to make perfectly clear, my issue here is this : if one knows (from the news) that a) X event happens and b) (the news) isn't reporting it frequently enough and c) )(other parties) aren't taking enough action,
Mikayla: "The rate of sexual violence in South Africa is among the highest in the world. Sexual violence is the use of force or manipulation to get someone to engage in unwanted sexual activity without his or her consent.[1] An estimated of 500,000 rape cases take place in the country, every year.["
mircea_popescu: this situation could be indicative of X not actually happening.
Mikayla: that's reported - which many aren't
PinkPosixPXE: mircea_popescu: yea, hehe, that's sort of how the nick evolved. Friends call me a variety of things like 'tinkerbell' etc.
mircea_popescu: Mikayla "an estimated" is not "a reported".
undata: it is true; it's important to avoid hysteria
Mikayla: they go on police reported numbers
Mikayla: I've been on the police website and seen the increases
Mikayla: it goes into multiple 100%'s a year
mircea_popescu: now, i know about this hysteria first hand, because some of the safest places i;'ve ever been in are convinced hteir problem is "security"
mircea_popescu: whereas utter shitholes like mexico think everything's mostly fine and dandy
Mikayla: South Africa is not safe
mircea_popescu: i've never been. fluffypony seems to think it's ok.
Mikayla: I know Mexico is big on taking someone for ransom
mircea_popescu: you seem to think it's not.
fluffypony: Mikayla: South Africa is great
mircea_popescu: the media is... well... a shitpile, as per usual. what's a guy to do to find out ?
Mikayla: here you get abused. raped. sodomised. killed. and they steal your phone.
fluffypony: plus I live there
mircea_popescu: i bet all the "sodomised!!!" news items make it hard to get butt from one's gf.
Mikayla: fluffypony but to do so much to someone just to rob them?
Mikayla: even if they're 60?
Mikayla: lol mircea_popescu
decimation: Mikayla: if it suck so bad, why not go to another country not full of child rapists
Mikayla: serious need a happier topic
PinkPosixPXE: yea, I'm terrified of Mexico, despite people I know who still will vacation there. No thanks, I don't need to take the risk.
Mikayla: decimation I'm trying to help to change it
decimation: like new zealand
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE only place where you can actually buy the head of the chief of police.
Mikayla: or australia? lol

mircea_popescu: and militias won't ?!

fluffypony: where?
Mikayla: neeeeeigh my bru....
Mikayla: I don't give those sort of details :/

fluffypony: I'm in Plett
HeySteve: heh he knows me so well
HeySteve: anyway I'm out have a good evening all
fluffypony: HeySteve:-P
undata: mircea_popescu: how developed was yugoslavia at the time? what other factors (economic, social) were involved?
Mikayla: lol mircea_popescu
Mikayla: I'm talking like a "cape coloured"
mircea_popescu: undata the most developed warsaw pact country.
Mikayla: neeeeigh aka no
undata: mircea_popescu: in the wake of a collapse wouldn't there be warfare to be expected?
Mikayla: I like Plett but I bet christmas time it's too full for a normal citizen
mircea_popescu: undata the following factor is involved : me and a buddy will kick your ass. you and four buddies will kick our ass. the 100 man militia kicks the 50 man militia, right or wrong.
fluffypony: Mikayla: listen, man, PE is a bit of a dead zone, maar jy kan ook kaap toe
undata: mircea_popescu: in a time of fracture I'd expect that anyway though
mircea_popescu: soon enough the militias are making armies and withdrawing from towns for pure strategic reasons.
undata: yeah I see your point
Mikayla: fluffypony ya no... we're become a major fuck up... lol. You're DA territory so it's different
mircea_popescu: right ? so, no. the problem isn't govt being deliberately evil.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that the worlkd is made so the weak get raped
fluffypony: Mikayla: yisssss, we're borderline Eastern Cape tho :-P
mircea_popescu: fucking point of life, that's how we're even here in the first place.
fluffypony: Bitou Municipality ftw!
Mikayla: fluffypony pretty much. Haha. You're like the Mexico of America. lol
undata: mircea_popescu: so then... why would I want the social groups closest to me to be weak?
Mikayla: is it called Bitou? LOL
mircea_popescu: undata well, depends what you like.
fluffypony: we're that cool
Mikayla: it sounds like a torrent app. lol
fluffypony: "where are you?" "BITOU, my ou"
undata: mircea_popescu: I want my private property, my family, and my friends to be protected.
Mikayla: fluffypony sjoe... super flow... lol
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> asks where she lives << you know nine out of ten people enjoy a gangbang.
fluffypony: net so
Mikayla: oh I missed that
Mikayla: fluffypony - you're not allowed to gang bang me.
undata: and I want a piece of dirt big enough to contain all of those
Mikayla: by no circumstances!
undata: and the right to defend that smallish rectangle of dirt
fluffypony: my wife and I would never allow that, so you're all good
undata: other than that, let whatever powers that be do their thing.
Mikayla: cool
mircea_popescu: undata well sure, and i want to sprout sandalwood.
undata: mircea_popescu: the above is in no way fanciful.
mircea_popescu: by what standard ?
undata: mircea_popescu: I've told you what I want; you tell me why I can't have it.
mircea_popescu: because you've defined what you want using undefined functions.
mircea_popescu: use the api as is, not the api as you think it should be.
chetty: cheat, works for me
mircea_popescu: yeah, works for as long as it does.
undata: mircea_popescu: given "otherwise let the powers that be do their thing", I can likely implement the above in any moderately stable state
mircea_popescu: fluffypony Mikayla for my own trivia file, what's "da territory" ?
undata: give them their paper, sign their stupid documents
undata: and otherwise, big fence, you're not coming in
mircea_popescu: undata no, but you can give yourself a passible illusion that you have.
decimation: I guess white folk in za have already been strongly selected, those who think there's no hope have already left.
Mikayla: hey?
fluffypony: da territory?
fluffypony: never heard of it
mircea_popescu: <Mikayla> fluffypony ya no... we're become a major fuck up... lol. You're DA territory so it's different <<
Mikayla: haha!
Mikayla: Democratic Alliance
fluffypony: DA = Democratic Alliance
Mikayla: poltical party
Mikayla: the best. But not where I am.
undata: mircea_popescu: what higher freedom than being unpestered for a bit exists?
Mikayla: I sounded kinda gang
Mikayla: gangsta
undata: mircea_popescu: well... that's all I'm after.
mircea_popescu: undata higher level results are hard on low level machines :)
Mikayla: I feel super hard core.
Mikayla flexes
undata: mircea_popescu: we all die in the end anyway
decimation: sun just farted an X1.0 class flare
chetty: <undata> mircea_popescu: what higher freedom than being unpestered for a bit exists?
chetty: <mircea_popescu> none.//doing the pestering
Mikayla: night time here
undata: I have no desire to be the glorious leader.
mircea_popescu: that's not freedom, that's enjoyment :D
undata: I just want to build things.
undata: maybe the glorious leader can benefit from my unpestered creativity and we can come to some arrangement
decimation: or maybe he will convert you to bio-diesel
undata: and maybe the sun will engulf the earth
undata: living in fear is being dead already
mircea_popescu: undata but you see why you can't have them, right ?
mircea_popescu: not saying you shouldn't want em, but still.
undata: mircea_popescu: maybe wanting them is one half of a dynamic system
mircea_popescu: !up Mikayla
Mikayla: wow that was a long hiccup
Mikayla: thanks Hellkom.
undata: I'm trying to find whether it's true that Hitler was going to kill his rocket scientists.
undata: mircea_popescu: seems propaganda
mircea_popescu: stalin did kill his army generals toh.
Mikayla: he was pretty sick in the head
Mikayla: I wouldn't put anything past Hitel
Mikayla: Hitler*
Mikayla: But I have a major respect for him on how he collected such a large following
undata: if it were true, it'd be a great example of power over sense
Mikayla: not being a good speaker he still had a crowd begging to hear him
mircea_popescu: Mikayla especially women.
mircea_popescu: "Thanks for continuously debunking modern myths." <<< ahh makes me all warm inside. for what else is the scholar, if not the mythbuster.

undata: and oh, causing your remaining engineers to go crazy.
Mikayla: [20:46] [Mikayla PING reply]: 49secs
Mikayla: sjoe
Mikayla: my internets are sucking tonight
undata: there's a greater gulf between feared and feared-and-loved than most leaders seem to know
mircea_popescu: undata kinda the difference between friendzone and sex slave.
Mikayla: heh
undata: haha
undata: mircea_popescu: oh, in your definition is the "need to belong" reciprocal?
undata: I thought about that after the conversation. Particularly, what happens when you reach the top?
mircea_popescu: definition of which ?
undata: we were talking about the inherent need for humans to belong, i.e. slavery
mircea_popescu: from the joys of debugging c : "I got a print in the middle of a loop and I discover it loops half the time returning pointers and half actual data"
mircea_popescu: undata ah ah. well, it's unclear. i think for most people at the top of their pyramid it's abstracted one way or the other.
undata: mircea_popescu: "belongs to God" "the cause" something?
mircea_popescu: if it becomes bijective the whole thing's condemned to ruin.
mircea_popescu: kinda why hereditary systems do not work, ever. while the founder can not give a shit about his crown,
mircea_popescu: his son is born as the son of the guy wioth the crown, and it can never can become quite the "whatever!" thing for him.
mircea_popescu: undata well, words fail.
undata: mircea_popescu: the semi-formed thought is that not belonging might be the cost
undata: still thinking about it
Mikayla: I have never been so thirsty in my life
Mikayla: gosh.
Mikayla: being hungover sucks
Mikayla: why is alcohol the one thing a person nevers learns from?
mircea_popescu: only if you drink crap alcohol.
mircea_popescu: spoend the night drinking romanian plum distilate, the hangover's a pleasure.
Mikayla: gosh I think it was the combination
mircea_popescu: the roofies ?
undata: mircea_popescu: is plum liquor as delicious as it sounds?
Mikayla: well I am a woman and I was in a gay bar so I don't think that was the case
Mikayla: lol
mircea_popescu: undata tuica ? yes.
undata: I wonder if they have that here
mircea_popescu: gotta be the actual stuff tho.
mircea_popescu: not just crapola generic alcohol with a label aded as they still do in the us.
bounce: dunno 'bout dem gayse. mebbe dey serve roofies standard dere, yanno.
bounce: though the standard fix for hangover is to just drink lots of water before going to bed.
mircea_popescu: well actually cabbage juice is the best fix.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, water helps a lot.
undata: also gorging on food
undata: before bed
undata: there's this poutine cart here that's a good 3am last stop
Adlai: bounce: better yet, alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
Adlai: even better, instead of water, drink water with ice + lemon, people think you're drinking twice as much alcohol and you can act twice as drunk
mircea_popescu: what is this, "how to drink like a girl" ?

mircea_popescu: undata the guy trying to get you drunk ?
undata: is Adlai a girl?
mircea_popescu: the border is ever blurring.

nubbins`: that's actually not bad, only ~425 pages
cazalla: TheNewDeal, you know that's not even an option here for if you used it on an intruder, you would need to explain "legitimate use" for keeping a nailgun next to your bed or in bedroom
asciilifeform: nubbins`: most of that crud really does not belong on a printed page.
nubbins`: budgeting 60 lines per page as a rough guide
TheNewDeal: that's not what the talk was about
asciilifeform: cazalla: nailgun does not have a barrel in the usual sense.
undata: TheNewDeal: sure fatal wounds but if you're offing yourself, aren't there quicker ways?
undata: nailgun seems like a good way to bleed out slowly
TheNewDeal: it was speculation on a banker killing himself with a nail gun

asciilifeform: afaik, normally poor shotgun technique
TheNewDeal: i've seen a guy who did it with a shotgun (many years after)
TheNewDeal: but if you're going to play russian roulette and hope to come out alive, good luck with your odds
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: ever see 'nagant' revolver? the item 'russian roulette' was originally played with.
undata: haha, "russian roulette at shotgun odds" << I will use this to describe a fucked situation later.
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: they're reasonably common in usa. the revelation: one could cheat.
TheNewDeal: negatron, not a gun nut
asciilifeform: the way it was built, the ratchet was not engaged when drum was spinning. a single round would settle to the bottom (opposite of barrel line.)
asciilifeform: so folks would play (on a bet, naturally) with opponent who did not know this.
asciilifeform: 1890s design.
asciilifeform: the 'correct' (honest) way to play was to pull trigger while spinning.
TheNewDeal: was more of a euphemism, not meant to be literal
asciilifeform: i tell this story because english speakers invariably speak of 'russian roulette' without knowing this tidbit.
TheNewDeal: true, did not know the story
TheNewDeal: but seriously, suicide rates would probably go up if people switched from shotgun to nail gun
asciilifeform: another game, invented by the same folks who brought us 'russian roulette' (imperial-era cavalry officers, bored out of their skulls) was called 'cuckoo'
asciilifeform: two men in an entirely dark room, with nagants, take turns calling out 'cuckoo'
asciilifeform: opponent fires at sound.
TheNewDeal: oooo this game looks like a good drinking game
TheNewDeal: looking at some different card game
undata: this fits with my perception of russia perfectly
undata: hahaha
kakobrekla: "drinking game" - never understood this concept.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the only 'drinking game' that ever made sense to me was the chess set with the hollow pieces
asciilifeform: capture piece, must drink it

undata: that's pretty good
kakobrekla: master will have tolerance.
asciilifeform: naturally.

asciilifeform: idiots who want to eat from toilet bowl, can loopback the thing into a tx gen on same box.
asciilifeform: there's your mechanism, there.
asciilifeform: no need for fancy contortions like unix-sockets
jurov: i'd prefer another trivial piece that relays between unix socket and ttyS0 or qr reader or whatever
asciilifeform: why not just have the daemon (nonblocking) listen on /dev/ttyxxx (virtual) ?
jurov: or if exclusively one client is wanted, then just pass pipe file descriptor

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: http://cascadianhacker.com/rm_rf_upnp.tar.gz << am i doing it correctly?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's a whole lot more upnp in there
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: point is not to simply disable flag, but to whittle down the turd bitwise
jurov: is everyone okay with the mailinglist being on therealbitcoin.org domain?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: string 'pnp' shouldn't occur in the resulting tree
asciilifeform: jurov: why not
asciilifeform: jurov: my suggestion was to have a plain-text view of the list (incl. patches that passed magic sig) visible there.
asciilifeform: perhaps with the name of the submitter parse out and diplayed conveniently
asciilifeform: ('table' tag?)
asciilifeform: if patch was signed by > 1 person - their name(s) too.
asciilifeform: display, is, naturally, not a substitute for checking sigs on own box!
jurov: i'm doing standard mailman archives
ben_vulpes: jurov: i'd love to see it at f9beb4d9.org
jurov: what's that?
ben_vulpes: the network magic bytes for mainnet
ben_vulpes: perhaps too obscure
ben_vulpes: if only mircea_popescu were still giving away domains...
asciilifeform: i'd throw it in 'nosuchlabs.com' but the turd lathe undertaking isn't really mine.
ben_vulpes: doesn't matter.
ben_vulpes: wherever's clever.

decimation: jurov do you want my xbtfoundation.org?
assbot: Bug #558189 (sf-1167696) add support for PGP and S/MIME encrypt... : Bugs : GNU Mailman
jurov: still looking into it how to deal with attachments
TheNewDeal: I apologize for the off topic questions, but does friedcat have a gpg key?
jurov: you want to send patches in above tar.gz format?
asciilifeform: jurov: unless you can think of a better idea
asciilifeform: jurov: inline sigs end up with patch mutilated into uselessness with escape chars
jurov: ah that
asciilifeform: jurov: important thing is that patches and sigs must stay married
asciilifeform: jurov: also at some point we ought to have people sign off on others' patches, once they read
asciilifeform: this is why i was so preoccupied (see yesterday's log) with keeping them as small as physically possible
jurov: ic, the tarball is easy be signed by others
asciilifeform: pgp/gpg mandatory mutilation of clearsigned text makes me retch
asciilifeform: but we're stuck with it.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> jurov: also at some point we ought to have people sign off on others' patches, once they read << would a new tarball with sig attached suffice?
asciilifeform: ideally, we'd have a patch and a collection of detached sigs of the plain ascii of the patch
ben_vulpes: responses to patch thread with sigs?
asciilifeform: to feed into some mechanized viewer at a later time
jurov: no it's looking like one attachment the tarball, another attachment the signature
jurov: which must be named similarly
jurov: other people shall reply and send only their signatures
jurov: with same names
asciilifeform: signatures of ascii patch?
asciilifeform: or tarred
jurov: when multiple files are needed, can be tarred
asciilifeform: possible to have two attachments, plain ascii patch - and, second, detached sig of the former ?
asciilifeform: i suggest one patch file per patch
asciilifeform: as with my example
asciilifeform: merging, incidentally, will be a bitch.
asciilifeform: and nothing can really be done about this.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: to digress, what's the rationale behind keeping makefile.linux-mingw?
jurov: it'll actually be fileformat and filecount agnostic...
asciilifeform: i simply didn't zap win32, left it for other folks
jurov: as long as each patch can be uniquely identified and paired with relevant sigs
asciilifeform: jurov: so, describe procedure for posting
asciilifeform: mail message with - body, sig of body, attachment1 (patch), attachment2 (sig of patch) ?
jurov: thus ... for every attachment named patch-author-id attach also patch-author-id.sig
asciilifeform: what about message body? (text)
jurov: and whoever want to sign it, sends patch-author-id.sig too
jurov: is message body so important?
asciilifeform: spam control
jurov: *text
asciilifeform: barbarians should not be able to piss in the soup
jurov: Yes. then the patch above can be used: "A post will be distributed only if the PGP signature on the post is from one of the list members."
asciilifeform: there we go.
jurov: i have to try it first what the "signature on the post" means if it si not S/MIME
jurov: then i'll report
asciilifeform: incidentally, anyone ever screened the pnSeed[] crap for known shitgnome ip ranges ?
asciilifeform: (net.cpp)
asciilifeform: not that they're this stupid - but then again...

asciilifeform: project is, my understanding, about essential functionality
asciilifeform: i.e. that which 'bitcoinates'
asciilifeform: gilding can be applied to the lily - later.
asciilifeform: we want, i dare say, a basic minimal 'bitkistor.'
ben_vulpes: kistor?
asciilifeform: a la resistor
asciilifeform: thyristor
ben_vulpes: yes yes
ben_vulpes: whence the k tho
asciilifeform: i don't like what english does to 'c'.
asciilifeform: at any rate, what do i even have to do with this. cough up yer own name.
ben_vulpes: you're the literate one...
asciilifeform shudders to think what illiteracy looks like, if this were so
ben_vulpes: the test-bitcoin line in makefile.unix - is that where i should look for running tests?
asciilifeform never tried this
asciilifeform: if planning to screw with the things those are testing - might want to
ben_vulpes: i have zero familiarity with the c ecosystem
ben_vulpes: would like to run tests, write tests, etc
asciilifeform: seems to contain very basic tests for things like script
ben_vulpes: oh lol
ben_vulpes: test_bitcoin.cpp
asciilifeform: satoshi's 0.1 does not include them
asciilifeform: no idea about his last release
ben_vulpes: this is kind of terrifying.
ben_vulpes: i build the thing, and then boot it, and if getblockcount increments under my eye - it passes?
ben_vulpes: surely there's more rigor possible than this.
asciilifeform: only way to even begin test, is to fire it in anger

If you answer "nutt'n, I jus kinda wondered what it'd be like, you know", you should be very happy that I am most likely more than 3000 miles away from you, or I would come over and slap you hard.'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: toss it in jurov's turdatron when the latter's ready.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: considering that this fix should not have changed the built binary one byte, you probably did not need to do the live-fire test.
asciilifeform: (assuming you had upnp disabled in flags before)
ben_vulpes: did indeed.
ben_vulpes: best to do it correctly, though. and binaries are not my concern - source is.
asciilifeform: if making 'cosmetic' change, can diff the binaries (after stripping debug crud)
ben_vulpes: does UPNP removal count as a cosmetic change?
asciilifeform: if it was zapped by flag to begin with
asciilifeform: (as on any sane build)
ben_vulpes: it's at least an example of the desired process.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: note that 'hops on the network and downloads blocks' is not necessarily equivalent to 'works'
kakobrekla: in reality no one will ever know if it works.
asciilifeform: see dijkstra, yes.
asciilifeform: although, i'll spill the one bean, that the point of my particular long-term 'fits in head' compaction for it, is to determine (for my own perverse pleasure) whether: it works.
ben_vulpes: what a turd
ben_vulpes: what a miserable, beautiful turd.
asciilifeform: where's the beauty?
asciilifeform: wish i could see it.
kakobrekla: 'fits in head' < meh, some folks fit 50k digits of pi in ther head.
kakobrekla: their*
asciilifeform: not enough to fit in your stomach, for something to be food.
asciilifeform: can fit a kg or two of cement there.
kakobrekla: exactly
asciilifeform: when i say 'fits in head', i mean in the same way mechanism of doorknob, or kalashnikov.
kakobrekla: the test "if you can stomach" it is not the best one imho
asciilifeform: stomach+digest.
ben_vulpes: if it does what it says on the tin, i find it a vastly more palatable meal than say a dollar
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as kakobrekla pointed out, this cannot be established - at least, quite certainly not given the extant turd.
ben_vulpes: few things are certain even to those capable of reasoning about them. i must fumble in the dark making guesses. my guess though, is that some parts of it work.
ben_vulpes: but tis but a guess and that guess from me, and discounts should be applied heavily.
kakobrekla: still this is very arbitrary. can expect to stuff this in avg head and also on the other hand some people can digest some funky shit.
kakobrekla: s/can/cant
asciilifeform: a theoretically minimal bitcoinator will not fit in 'avg head,' no.

kakobrekla: whats the story there ascii
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for a spell, eu banned smoked foods (!) - because 'carcinogen' - and then latvia, eu circa '04, got the sharp end of the ban

undata: well I guess I wouldn't know, but seems like ouch
mircea_popescu: undata the heel is metallic, but doesn't seem threaded...
undata: I mean, I've never stuck anything up there; could be great
undata: I'll probably pass...
mircea_popescu: undata too late for that, clearly you're into sounding
undata: ah fuck
mircea_popescu: working hard to prepare for mr thiel
mircea_popescu: why DID you think they're called "pencildicks" ?
decimation: arg. it compiles, but doesnt' link on osx without gymnastics
decimation: yeah maybe openbsd is a good idea
asciilifeform: once the toy os crap is junked, can 'have nice things'
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8100 @ 0.00075274 = 6.0972 BTC [+]
decimation: asciilifeform: is there a 'port' package for boost?
asciilifeform: no idea
asciilifeform: probably
assbot: The MacPorts Project -- Available Ports
decimation: oh yeah I am using the macports version
decimation: I mean openbsd port
decimation: their packaging turd
decimation: I'm sure compiling that shit from scratch would be a nightmare
asciilifeform: exists, yes
assbot: OpenPorts.se | The OpenBSD package collection
decimation: awesome.
decimation: osx looks good from the outside, but when you walk into the engine room you find chairs glued to the ceiling and rotating clown cars
assbot: Last 1 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/03SKVZX.txt )
assbot: 'Darth Vader' goes to polls in Ukraine and wants to turn state into 'galactic empire' - Independent.ie
decimation: this is a healthy development for their democracy, satan's world is on display
asciilifeform: in usa we had a version of this. vermin supreme.
asciilifeform: (yes, his official name!)
decimation: there's also predator and its 2 governors
asciilifeform: i vote for him without fail.
decimation: I wish that there were an option on the us ballot for "I vote against this entire system and an immediate constitutional convention"
decimation: kinda like the voter's version of nullification
mircea_popescu: <decimation> osx looks good from the outside, but when you walk into the engine room you find chairs glued to the ceiling and rotating clown cars << ahahhaha
ben_vulpes: vermin supreme!
decimation: I guess voting for vermin supreme would be the 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on' vote
mircea_popescu: they have these "suprema de x" breakfast dishes here
mircea_popescu: decimation "I vote against this entire system and an immediate constitutional convention" <<< that's not on the ballot. you can actually convene one. like, right now.
mircea_popescu: just get enough people to sign for it.
decimation: yeah that's kinda true, except you would have the entire bureaucrat/media/faceless mass against you
mircea_popescu: as opposed to when ?
decimation: might as well wear a boot on your head and shout at strangers
decimation: yeah, good point
decimation: mr. yarvin had a post where he hypothesized that if there were a credible alternative to usg it would immediately crumble
mircea_popescu: kinda his job, neh ?

ben_vulpes: <decimation> ben_vulpes: did you manage to compile your package on osx? << not even trying. i set up a virtualized debian toolchain.
decimation: I have it almost compiling except boost is giving me shitty linking errors
decimation: I think asciilifeform is right, better to run on a real os
ben_vulpes: debian and gentoo seem to be the choices.
decimation: what, no bsd? :)
undata: ben_vulpes: I tried earlier on gentoo; it wanted a different openssl than ssh did, so I gave up.
decimation: yeah that's the rhel bitcoin guy's point
decimation: he has a complete version of openssl that will work with bitcoin, you can download the src.rpm and build for arbitrary unix
ben_vulpes: undata: i'm using debian.
ben_vulpes: !s bitcoin dark secret
mircea_popescu: !s darkest secret
ben_vulpes: bad search as a service
ben_vulpes: no venture investment
