mod6: does anyone like thebitcoin.foundation/banner.html ?
BingoBoingo: mod6: Banner looks purty
mod6: danielpbarron!
mod6: Thanks, Sir.
mod6: BingoBoingo: werd. been consider switchin to hard-core mode.
mod6: *considering
asciilifeform: mod6: cut off on my display
mod6: has anyone else used PC-BSD?
decimation: mod6 it verfies for me
mod6: asciilifeform: awe
mod6: decimation: thanks!
asciilifeform: (banner)
decimation: BingoBoingo: well, if the atomic clock is your timekeeper, than leap seconds are silly
decimation: my suggestion: use GPS time
decimation: http://www.leapsecond.com/java/gpsclock.htm " GPS, Global Positioning System time, is the atomic time scale implemented by the atomic clocks in the GPS ground control stations and the GPS satellites themselves. GPS time was zero at 0h 6-Jan-1980 and since it is not perturbed by leap seconds GPS is now ahead of UTC by 16 seconds. "
BingoBoingo: decimation: GPS time is USG turd. Want to be able to keep own clock.
decimation: sure. do you have a clock that will but sub-second accurate across decades?
mod6: asciilifeform: what size display do you ya have? i checked it out with lynx too, looks pcool.
asciilifeform: 1440 horiz.
asciilifeform: cut off unless fixedtype font is set absurdly small.
mircea_popescu: decimation how do you now ?
mod6: lemme see on this pcbsd box, its set to 1024x768
TheNewDeal: anybody here play/have played poker at casinos frequently?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Maybe? Only the fucking white ford F-150 which until mention in chan that bombarded my domicile with microwaves knows for sure.
mircea_popescu: note that merely *thinking* you do, or "not being able to find otherwise" can trivially be replicated by the conventional model he proposes.
decimation: mircea_popescu: well, the way it works now, to my understanding, is that there's a kind of wot among high-spec clocks
mod6: looks ok on that box
mircea_popescu: time as anything other than arbitrary convention is a hard proposition.
danielpbarron: TheNewDeal, not frequently.. but i host a cash game every saturday
mircea_popescu: decimation exactly. not even a blockchain.
BingoBoingo: Time is not a feature of physics. It is imposed by the apperception upon the manifold.
assbot: rtl-sdr – OsmoSDR ... ( http://bit.ly/1v1GQgb )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have one. they work.
TheNewDeal: the poker room I just played at had automagic card shufflers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: distinguish wall clock time from the other kind.
mircea_popescu: even the other kind is a convention rather than a factual point at subsecond accuracy across decades
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will note
mircea_popescu: (i'm not disputing the timing of subatomic events)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interval is rigorously defined as n transitions of cesium atom b/w energy levels
asciilifeform: the purpose is precision rather than accuracy.
BingoBoingo: !up tripleslash
mircea_popescu: this is like "rigurously" defining womanhood as "n individual sex acts"
asciilifeform: precision timekeeping is what allows for, e.g., satellite navigation.
tripleslash: fucking znc
BingoBoingo: timekeeping is a myth
decimation: yeah, I am inaccurately using the word 'accuracy'
mircea_popescu: tripleslash you too ?
asciilifeform: rigorous, in this case, means 'arbitrarily replicable'
asciilifeform: on demand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notice that so would be his.
mircea_popescu: for different values, ofcourse.
BingoBoingo: Time is properly not measured from reality, but imposed upon reality.
asciilifeform: incidentally, cesium standard is a fairly recent thing.
mircea_popescu: well so is the iridium alloy meter.
asciilifeform: was arrived at somewhat reluctantly, as i understand.
asciilifeform: just as metre.
mircea_popescu: standards generally are a recent thing. but time is particularly iffy when you try to bridge what's fundamentally unbridgeable
mircea_popescu: (micro to macro interactions)
decimation: isn't that what your processor is doing right now?
mircea_popescu: note, re the "replication" that recently they were stuck adding a 2nd 3rd second off midnight,
mircea_popescu: coupla weeks ago
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah, which is why we just had a cve earlier.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "they had to act inconsistently to maintain a certain facade of consistency"
asciilifeform: what if they didn't. what then. sunrise off by a few ns.
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY. same argument bolsters the "time in blocks" conventionb.
asciilifeform: i say braindamaged.
BingoBoingo: Space similarly, not a property of "nature", but imposed upon nature by the apperception
mircea_popescu: we can agree that any convention is provably broken. that's by definition.
decimation: mircea_popescu: the question, as I stated earlier, is whether 'rotation of the earth about axis' or 'number of vibrations of cesium' is your timebase
mircea_popescu: decimation maybe "biotcoin blocks" is your timebase.
mircea_popescu: i can see a whole swathe of applications for which it would be.
decimation: sure. but note that the precision is measureably poor
mircea_popescu: such as, contracts. "rent this appartment for 50`000 blocks"
asciilifeform: as far as anyone has been able to determine to date, the atom does not temporally misbehave, and so it can be used as clock to the limits of the measurement precision.
mircea_popescu: only in YOUR system
mircea_popescu: in my system YOUR precision is measurably poor.
mircea_popescu: relativity. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as long as that determination was made in a certain system that precludes so and so :)
mircea_popescu: "hey check it out, as long as im measuring atom transitions by atom transitions, atom transitions do not appear to misbehave!"
BingoBoingo: Kritik der reinen Vernunft A37=B54fn
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice that folks who actually need the cesium fountain for practical work do not bother with the metaphysics. but simply end up defining precise timebase as 'the thing that, if any noisier, now you can't geolocate but to +/-1km...'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's why i laid into him. he wanted micro precision somehow magically over macro spans.
mircea_popescu: otherwise suire, atopmic clock works great for atomic physics.
BingoBoingo still maintains official apperception independent time standard off of wound spring.
mircea_popescu: lol how many shots you in bb ?
decimation: well, your 'bitcoin clock' would be pretty poor at precisely measuring a range of natural phenomena, with epicycles aplenty
mircea_popescu: sure. but perhaps it would be great at measuring economic and perhaps even social and political phenomena.
mircea_popescu: !up Dimsler
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: About 500 ml of 80 proof vodka tonight. Making up for the bender this past weekend could have been. After reddit IRL I need to clean the slate with a strong solvent.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ima try an' catch up. apparently can't sleep
Dimsler: what about the effects of dark matter on subatomic particles
decimation: good point, that
mircea_popescu: how about the effects of gravity! how about the effects of universe expanding! how abvout etc.
mircea_popescu: there's no end of that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Latest qntra piece I took the opportunity to empty the venom sacks a bit on new Derpolis. Pete apparently leik'd it.
mircea_popescu: maybe the blockchain that messes up seconds is a minute off over ten trillion years. whereas cesium clocks, .855% off
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers!
asciilifeform: guess what i've got.
mircea_popescu: ye, 85 million years offs.
mircea_popescu: ;;seen adlai
gribble: adlai was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 11 hours, 51 minutes, and 35 seconds ago: <Adlai> 'want' is a strong word. i'm suggesting it as a possibility, to an intrepid [General] Manager
asciilifeform: a deterministic builder of statically linked 0.5.3.xxxxx. for arbitrary cross-compiler. and ran. and turd runs on pogo.
Dimsler: good ol Rutherford-Bohr model
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, mod6, ben_vulpes, jurov ^^^^^^
decimation: excellent news!
mircea_popescu: fuck you you magnificent bastard.
asciilifeform: will post shortly
asciilifeform: note! had to patch the bitcoin
mod6: asciilifeform: sweet. what'd ya have to patch?
asciilifeform: because it was retardedly missing a header.
adlai: mircea_popescu: sup
asciilifeform: somehow this flew
asciilifeform: but not with static libs
mircea_popescu: adlai how much capital were you looking for ?
decimation feels sorry for the poor celestial navigator who is thrown off the timebase bus
mod6: what header?
asciilifeform: stripped binary 4153212 bytes
asciilifeform: with no dependencies
tripleslash: that's better
decimation: asciilifeform: did you have to patch gcc to fix the bug you posted the other day?
asciilifeform: mod6: stdint.
mircea_popescu: tripleslash saw teward's lulzy crash earlier ?
asciilifeform: decimation: nope
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude...
BingoBoingo: spring operated wrist mounted time standard is only 1.5 minutes off of ntp reported time in 8 years of constant operation.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is invited to replicate once automat is posted
decimation: BingoBoingo: did you set it in those 8 years?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, it's a joke
BingoBoingo: decimation: Only hourly corrections for DST, but I do that based on raw feels.
Dimsler: since we are discussing horology
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic what is ?
Apocalyptic: teward's quit message faking a segfault in znc
mircea_popescu: o it is ?!
mircea_popescu: got me lol
Apocalyptic: heh, yeah
adlai: mircea_popescu: it really depends what that capital is for. for funding further development of the bot? not much, feature by feature, i'm not looking for a vc-style investment. for testing the algorithm on larger amounts, to see how the strategy scales up? right now, two digit btc sum, more as progress permits.
BingoBoingo: decimation: The point is I am the one who imposes time onto the manifold of the unintuited world and not the reverse.
decimation would prefer to humbly submit to the silent dance of the celestial spheres, as man has done for all known time
mircea_popescu: adlai no dude, weren't you looking to run a PC based on it ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think adlai mentioned it assuming an intermediary being necessary not knowing that MPIF is direct.
adlai: that was mentioned as a possibility. what do you mean by "MPIF is direct"?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Man has never done that since ptolemy
BingoBoingo: adlai: In my experience MPIF invest in the person with the trading device instead of moneyed buffer intermediary
BingoBoingo: * decimation would prefer to humbly submit to the silent dance of the celestial spheres, as man has done for all known time << You do realize if you try to advance critical theory past Kant you buffer overflwo straight back to Hume. It is an ugly loop.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you definitely impose contorted grammar upon the reading public.
mircea_popescu: One piece of fallout from the recent SYRIZA win in Greece's election is the appointment of Yanis Varoufakis, most notable for tinkering with Valve's Steam video game marketplace to the position of Finance Minister. Yanis Varoufakis is much less notable for in the spring of 2013 writing one of the many essays naively assailing Bitcoin as some sort of impossible fantasy incapable of anything, an essay that safely could h

mircea_popescu: ially it may seem unfortunate that someone decided to promote him from penny arcade optimisations to managing the finances of a populated area that to some degree still succeeds in putting forth the pretense of a sovereign state, with a government and everything. Upon further consideration, you will notice it's exactly adequate.
mircea_popescu: adlai "mpif is direct", where's that from ?
mircea_popescu: context dammit

adlai: :)
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, good riddance, maybe the euro will go back to being called the deutsch mark like it really is
mircea_popescu: adlai you ever looked into the workings of panacea ? and mike_c's tracking thereof ?
adlai: i'm familiar with the overall idea, although i couldn't recite its returns from memory
mircea_popescu: Dimsler fat chance of that. you folk will need tyo go beat all the gypos over the head again, and then the brits will burn berlin because 'o noes' again.
mircea_popescu: adlai so that's how it works. you get some btc, publish your trades, etc.
Dimsler: the fourth reich europe domination has proven to be a failure, instead of bodies all the tanned skin loungers got a free bmw or merc
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yanis did write more naive Bitcoin essays by they came later.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo just generally you know, run on prose.
decimation: Dimsler: wohnen Sie in der Schweiz?
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Amazingly all but the last two paragraph happened before I acquired vodka.
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
Apocalyptic: trinque, by the way how's deedbot coming along ?
mircea_popescu: i think it's so tense and comma-tose because you're too tight. gotta learn to relax without liquor.
Dimsler: decimation, nein
BingoBoingo: Probably.
mircea_popescu: anyway, great article, solid structure, errything.
decimation: Dimsler: note that the 'free bmw' plan also allowed germany to 'increase' its gdp
BingoBoingo: Thank you.
Dimsler: decimation, at great cost to the quality of life for the average german
BingoBoingo: My spirit animal though is a most likely a wound spring. It used to be a wood chuck until Preston Byrne appropriated them and relabled them all fucking marmots.
mircea_popescu: Dimsler but at great gain to the quality of life of the average romanian. and to a lesser degree, frenchman.
mircea_popescu: thousands of dacias sailed out of timisoara EACH DAY by train, for over a year
mircea_popescu: cost about as much as the vouchers paid. 3-5kish
BingoBoingo: Marmot sounds like an absolute shit animul
Dimsler: yes and all those euros that flew in to build roads
BingoBoingo: Not a grand animal builder of bunkers for a post nuclear age
Dimsler: the fourth reich take over of europe ultimatly ended in a wealth transfer scheme and a failing currency
mircea_popescu: what exactly do you think take overs are ?
mircea_popescu: what, the french in alger, the belgians in congo, the erryone errywhere.
adlai: mircea_popescu: question: could a profit center be run within mpex/coinbr? ie, the extent of "you get some btc" would be crediting an account? kinda like how margin is described in the mpex faq.

asciilifeform: mod6, jurov: no idea if the turdatron actually works though
asciilifeform: mod6 check plz ?
mircea_popescu: adlai you don't have to have a mpex account to be a pc manager if that's what yer asking.
asciilifeform: i'm not seeing any output.

asciilifeform: ^ moldy's observation originally
mircea_popescu: right into my "argentina has no school" of yest.
decimation: aye, it was moldbug's
adlai wants to minimize counterparty risk. if mp is investing in a trading shop, why should mp's money leave mp's ex?
mircea_popescu: don't you need it to be on whatever exchange ?
Dimsler: decimation, i believe simon heffer rejuvenated that idea back in 2011
adlai: what's mpex, a text-based casino?
Dimsler: "Simon Heffer wrote in 2011 "Where Hitler failed by military means to conquer Europe, modern Germans are succeeding through trade and financial discipline. Welcome to the Fourth Reich."
mircea_popescu: adlai dude, you're making yourself impossible to follow. i thought you wrote a fx bot that works on 2-3 exchanges currenty and you're looking to finance it.
decimation: as an american, I see germany as a theme park filled with stuffed animals, spouting libtard-ideology
Dimsler: what he didn't see was that the trade was onsided, inexchange for a bunch of debt
mircea_popescu: decimation not too far off.
BingoBoingo: adlai: In my mpif experience if an exchange or asset looks like it is becoming imminently untenable the MPIA will tell you to bail and when.
Dimsler: decimation, i can assure you most of the larger cities are pretty much dumps
asciilifeform: ^ mircea_popescu et al
mircea_popescu: Dimsler yeah, "trade" is not "give me free shit while i tan". how did that silly quote go, "And so on. The three men ended up working like dogs, using all the skills developed by trial and error in their first few weeks – building a hut, fish, trying to get the women to forage. The women continued to bitch and sunbathe."
asciilifeform: yes jurov's thing ate it silently.
adlai: what's the MPIA?
mircea_popescu: why do you hate it ?!
BingoBoingo: adlai: MP Intelligence Agency
asciilifeform: because it doesn't work.
adlai: lololololl
asciilifeform: never worked.
asciilifeform: i think i was the first one to actually run something from the www output end of turdatron today

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you going to write a full step by step guide and publish on blog ?
asciilifeform: it's in there!
asciilifeform: it's just a fscking shell script
adlai: mircea_popescu: the problem is that i'm not certain what's the best arrangement. the "fx bot" currently runs on 3 btc/fiat exchanges, but that's not necessarily the best place to run it, and i'm not sure that i'm the best person to handle the "get btc from investors to exchange and back" side of things
mircea_popescu: as it is, it dun exist. has to have rounded corners yo! but anyway! let's do packaging separately.
mircea_popescu: yo danielpbarron you around ?
adlai trusts himself with his own money, barely.
asciilifeform: nothing directly to do with the 'pogo' - that's a separate one, that isn't ready to show yet
asciilifeform: this one gives you a bitcoind executable, fully static, for given cpu.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, ya
asciilifeform: using given turdballs of 'openssl', 'bdb', 'boost'.
asciilifeform: user supplies them.
asciilifeform: oh don't forget the patch.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron wouldja be willing to package asciilifeform's final pogo stuff into a very detailed, any noob can get it post ?
asciilifeform: this particular script just as easily builds pc unix version of bitcoin
asciilifeform: just replace the cross-compile gcc with your normal one.
asciilifeform: deterministic build, about 40 minutes later.
asciilifeform: (on my box)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is not the pogo autodeflorator yet
asciilifeform: just gives arm ELF of bitcoin
Apocalyptic: re self-centered cultures, I recently stumbled upon Bridgewater, a hedge fund that mainstream media often described as "a cult". It shares several concepts with b-a

mircea_popescu: "But that book was written in 1908. Based on what I've seen on Downton Abbey, things were a lot different then."
mircea_popescu: Well, yes, obviously, there had just been a massive leap forward in technology and industrialization, a booming economy fueling a wealth gap, temporarily course corrected by a financial panic "precipitated" by the failure of two overspeculating brokerage houses. There were also, simultaneously, great advances in progressive causes like worker's rights and food quality, all on the background of decreasing importance of
mircea_popescu: religion among educated whites in favor of science. Not physics or chemistry, but evolution. Tabloids were incomprehensibly popular, partisan media the norm. A loosening of conventional morality manifested as bored promiscuity, female bisexuality, and a flood of new porn the likes of which never existed before.
mircea_popescu: "That does sound different. And awesome. What did their Millennial kids inherit, what did they experience over their adult lives, say 1929-1945?"
mircea_popescu: I totally don't know, Boardwalk Empire only goes up to 1924 and Mad Men starts 1960.
mircea_popescu: best write-up of a book ever, too
mircea_popescu: The "independent" demo actually has all the textbook characteristics of a group most susceptible to propaganda, more correctly "pre-propaganda", and by textbook I mean literally Propaganda.
mircea_popescu: They consider themselves leaderless. They can have representatives, they can have "evangelists" but they have to believe that their conclusions are all their own, through individual reflection and objective consideration. Interestingly, and on purpose, they believe their brains can handle such an analysis, any analysis. This isn't arrogance. They are told, by universities and the media, that their mind is prepared t
mircea_popescu: o do this heavy lifting as long as they are given just the right facts, filtered from the "noise." "Where can we get the right facts, in a world of liars?" Good question, maybe the news?

mircea_popescu: Commonly, independents have a single personal issue, say gun rights or abortion, but no personal experience with other issues, and lacking any subjective starting point, they therefore believe that ONLY objectivity will give them the truth. The less life experience they have the better; the less they've seen of the world, the fewer people they've argued with (in person, where it is real and has real consequences like p
mircea_popescu: unches), the less frequently their water balloon worldview is tested by people with pins, the more they will cling to the premise that "facts" are what's important. In this way the one personal issue serves as a reference point which the propaganda exploits: "hey, gun advocates, did you know you like low corporate taxes?" I do? "Yes, because the people you hate are for raising them." Consequently, raising corporate
mircea_popescu: taxes is felt like an attack on the Second Amendment. "Liberals! Taking away our rights!"

mircea_popescu: i somehow doubt it, but anyway.
nubbins`: some will produce a photo of their running unit, then scrap it
nubbins`: etc etc
nubbins`: but giving money to people who pop on irc and provide photos of their gear is retarded
nubbins`: actually retarded
nubbins`: however, generating a bunch of signed transactions and loading a single one onto each unit, which the eventual owner may spend or discard as he sees fit...
asciilifeform: i for one do not have an earth-shatteringly clever answer to the conundrum of how to persuade maxint people to buy & plug these in
mircea_popescu: nubbins` but this is an "owner orders unit and loads the code"
nubbins`: you can't persuade people to do something long-term if they don't see a long-term benefit, period.
nubbins`: those who want to keep running their nodes will. those who don't will cash out (or not!) and stop.
mircea_popescu: the long term benefit is a "just keep it powered and you are providing one full node"
asciilifeform: for the motherland (tm)
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: okay, then i'm talking about "nubbins orders 10k units, pre-loads the code, does what he just described, makes $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, donates 10% to .foundation, moves to dutch antilles"
trinque: are there any services a derpuser might be able to use within his own network if he has a full node?
trinque: the filesharing thing has always appealed to me
trinque: some bitcoin-telegraph for torrents thing
asciilifeform: conjecture is that there is a set of folks who want to do this, but aren't now because 'i haven't a second pc' or 'fan too loud' ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how do you pay for 10k units ?
nubbins`: i'm rich, why the fuck do you think i can sit around here all day?
mircea_popescu: trinque for one thing, you can use it as a proxy for your actual bitcoind
mircea_popescu: much safer.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so then move to the antiles ?
nubbins`: gross, too hot
mircea_popescu: !up phillipsjk
trinque: mircea_popescu: yep that's a good thing
nubbins`: anyway, consider the quantity suitably modified
nubbins`: i wholeheartedly encourage you to ship the devices as you see fit
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know, schemes to grow rich off rebate deals are kinda kramer-esque
mircea_popescu: im not shipping anything
nubbins`: and also toss out the fact that a "ready to go" version will make .foundation more financially independent
phillipsjk: I am sure you all know about the block-size controversy. How harw will it be for the end-user to change the block-size on these units?
mircea_popescu: that's the problem : to have them shipped to a central location and then shipped out trebles the cost
mircea_popescu: let people just buy thjem themselves.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk impossible.
nubbins`: or do a thing like raspi did, sub it out to the mfg's
mircea_popescu: i specifically do not wish the purchase tobe identifiable.
asciilifeform: a determined luser could, in principle, rebuild the entire thing with phoundation's turd in place of ours, sure
mircea_popescu: l;et people buy individually, i dont want to ship out a stock of special-diddled machines
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but he'll hjave to get gavin to sell him some of those magical 10 terrabyte ssd's he has from the future.
mircea_popescu: you know, when the space kept doubling.
nubbins`: so this is essentially a mouser parts list, and a list of instructions?
asciilifeform: idk what you folks had in mind, but what i was making was that one of these can plug with crossover cable into a virginal unit and deflower it.
phillipsjk: asciilifeform, I was thinking, simply modify your code to handle a larger block-size.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yup
mircea_popescu: so far at any rate.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk that's not the problem : anyone with half a clue can do the same and make a diff bitcoin static
mircea_popescu: problem is the chain won't fit.

nubbins`: asciilifeform that's what i pictured too
asciilifeform: idea being, unless you actually want to perform the deterministic build (want pedigreed sources, etc.) you don't need a pc.
nubbins`: yes, precisely
nubbins`: luser can go to walmart and buy one off the shelf, plug it in at home
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only problem is getting the first unit
asciilifeform: just... breed them.
asciilifeform: first unit - use pc, yes, or borrow from phriend.
mircea_popescu: i don't want to be shipping these out by hand if i can help it.
phillipsjk: What size SSD are you thinking of using?
asciilifeform: why ship them? so many folks already selling them. just need defloration.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. well nubbins` was proposing a packaging etc.
danielpbarron: a 256 should last for 5 years if blocks are 1mb
asciilifeform: no need to buy exotic ssd either. old laptop hdd 64G and above ought to do for a while
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk 256 so far.
phillipsjk was planing on buying a new "cheap" SSD every year for his full node.
nubbins`: minimal, but nonetheless
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk i don't think anyone'll be able to beat the "spend a coupla hours having fun with real deal code, then forget about it" deal.
asciilifeform: if one of you wants to print glossy stickers to cover the oem case, with dire warnings re: drive will be formatted, etc. whatever, cardboard boxes, - why not. but this is a luxury
phillipsjk: Yes, I understand the appeal of a "set it and forget it" box. Sometimes, upgrades are kind of forced on users though. My former ISP mailed out a VSDL Modem when the local monopoy stopped supporting the older ADSL modem.
mircea_popescu: you don't plug it into the wall
phillipsjk: Presumably you can mail our "bitcoin box v2" if you become convinced a larger loack-size is needed.
mircea_popescu: you plug it into your current modem

danielpbarron: can the pogonode be programmed to automount a usb drive, check for signed raw transactions in a text file, and broadcast them?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a good idea btw. can it do that much ?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: what's wrong with connecting to the node properly on 8333 and spraying your tx in ?
mircea_popescu: yay. defo.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron include that bit in the write-up, will be the identification for rebate.
mircea_popescu: !up macklemores_toup
mircea_popescu: dude i like talking things through in here, it's like a mental lens.
danielpbarron: the user might not have an online computer to broadcast from, but does have an offline signing machine
mircea_popescu: just paper wallets, no node whatsoever ?!
phillipsjk: MIcrosoft will want a cut is you use vfat :P
mircea_popescu: microsoft is not in the wot.
phillipsjk: Unfortunately Mircosoft deliberately broke UDF on hard-drives AKA USB sticks.
mircea_popescu: adaptec's private turd ?
trinque: why use vfat in the first place?
phillipsjk: They require the drive to be partitioned to use UDF. (making the partition cover the whole disk works)
phillipsjk: trinque, because that is the only thing MIcrosoft supports. Therefore every USB stick is pre-formatted with it. I understand you removed Microsoft compatibility from your code anyway.

davout: curious to see how long/how many oomkills it'll take to catch up
asciilifeform: davout: plan was, iirc, to fill these up with blockchain from parent machine, rather than sync from zero.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform time /
mircea_popescu: davout i'd say more like 3ish % but yeah
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there was no particular plan. fill with trusted chain, let it build it up, either way.
mircea_popescu: the building chain process is in fact a decent way to advertise the node.

mircea_popescu: well, i was ready to pronounce it victorious if it did more than 10k blocks / 24 hours, so.
mircea_popescu: one doesn;t have to import a preloaded chain
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 19:33:44; asciilifeform: idk what you folks had in mind, but what i was making was that one of these can plug with crossover cable into a virginal unit and deflower it.
davout: "one doesn;t have to import a preloaded chain" <<< the getting up to date from scratch time will be interesting
mircea_popescu: apparently its ~ 100 hours or so
asciilifeform: for the record: 3rd oomkill, 136006 blocks, 25 second restart
mircea_popescu: ie, better than bitcoind for most of its history.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's forever on the router dude. that was the spec. for a box to plug into your spare router hole and sit there forevert.

nubbins`: don't underestimate the premium people are willing to pay for convenience tho
mircea_popescu: notice how both women display it, centered arund the cunt, but the mother has been worked into society towards a slightly more relaxed position of the other end of the spine.
asciilifeform: actually it could make sense if someone were to negotiate a massive bulk discount on the crate of boxes
mircea_popescu: nubbins` don't underestimate the premium we put on people who aren't consumer-broken.
nubbins`: remember those usb block erupters? people would literally pay a $300+ premium if you just put the USB hub, a cable, and the erupters in the same box for them.

asciilifeform: davout: the unit presently churning on my desk was booted from sd card - which i was using for testing (final firmware will be a read-only squashfs)
davout: ok, the thing itself doesn't include storage, does it have to be a sata disk, or would a large enough sd be enough?
asciilifeform: davout: sd is slow as fuck
mircea_popescu: and wear prob lems
mircea_popescu: but it may work.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was about 35x slower than the sata presently running
davout: ok, if its performance is storage-speed bound i should get a disk with it
asciilifeform: who doesn't have a bag of old laptop drives lying around ?
mircea_popescu: most people lol
davout: lol
davout: "No storage limits and no additional fees when using your own external hard drive" <<< lol, good to know
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, slower. obviously if a block takes less thna 10 minutes it's still perfectly usable.
asciilifeform: at this point, even most 'civilians' have the bag. just with the disks still in their shells (laptops, that is..)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fun fact : 50% of america dreams of but doesn't own and can't afford a laptop.

ben_vulpes: mike_c: in my experiments i had to manually download the 4.8 sources.

BingoBoingo prefers making these bets on the shady books for the purpose of rescuing BTC from less responsible hands

mircea_popescu: "convincing" is not a criterion.
asciilifeform: re: mapOrphanBlocks: there is some confusion of terminology in the source. the orphan blocks in question are not the orphan blocks spoken of usually (i.e. blocks on dead ends of the tree) but rather any block for which the antecedent is not yet loaded by the node
asciilifeform: hence the nondeterminism. the blocks arrive in braindamaged order and are not sorted in any intelligent way

mircea_popescu: clearly the american dream has won out : they live now like the romanian girls i used to fuck in the 80s.
mircea_popescu: such victory of socialism.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Happens here too. Also common are parents who overbought house a decade ago apportioning space to their adult spawn to use as residence. One family I know Daughter has upstairs, son basement, deedholders floor 1. Much of their subdivisions households have similarly organized.
