BingoBoingo: badD00d: TRB now WILL accept segwit blocks, but it will not parse the segwit'd portion as anything other than "anyone can spend"
mircea_popescu: the notion that bitcoin can somehow by stolen by name is so ridoinculous as to betray its ustardian origins. bitcoin is not a name.
mircea_popescu: if the us fed starts printing "one hundred bitcoin" bills instead of the current one hundred dollar bills, this'll also do ~nothing as far as nayone is concerned.

mircea_popescu: they're consuming teh fiat dollars as it is, doesn't seem to have much impact on anything.
badD00d: like at some point, the shitty masses are going to start consuming their fake shitty blocks.
badD00d: right, and I respect that. I guess I am wondering when you think the majority of hashing power will start agreeing on non-legit shit blocks?
badD00d: will TRB nodes start rejecting blocks whenever BIP91 or other bologna segwit proposals gain the majority hashing power?

mircea_popescu: and not because it would be racist to try ; but because they are impotent.
mircea_popescu: jane reddit may care, or at the least pretend to care what bitcoin client joe reddit uses, in obvious exchange of joe reddit pretending to care about "that one time she was almost raped".
mircea_popescu: but at any event -- i do not care what bitcoin client joe reddit "uses". he has no money in the first place ; and even if he had money he has nothing interesting to do with them. sloshing the payola back and forth from one usg pocket to another is scarcely worth wasting paper, let alone bitcoin ledger.

whaack: It's been "the critical moment for a fork" since I've known about btc
user705: how would the endgame unfold? this "soft" fork will just become a hard fork. right or how would it unwind?

asciilifeform: nothing observable to ~people~ -- i.e. folx using trb -- yes. to redditus running gavincoin etc - thermonukokalypse
user705: so with bigger blocks vs smaller blocks the clusterfuck will be epic
mircea_popescu: so, ample opportunity for the entrepreneurial -- start a pool that's not a scam, if all others are, or you perceive they might be.
mircea_popescu: well, "social media". usg's astroturf for its own sheeple. much like you know, the notion that "embargo of russia" or "recapture of mosul -- two weeks starting in 2016", the sort of ideas with no further substance than "i really watch too much tv"
mircea_popescu: the notion that 1 august bears any relevancy is entirely borne out of spending too much time on social media.
mircea_popescu: user705 you would mine then as you mine now. if you're pool mining, select a pool that isn't scamming you then , just as you would now.
user705: how would one mine on the correct chain or would it not be possible because of pools?

a111: Logged on 2015-12-28 18:09 mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-12-2015#1355361 << quite. all this verbiage about how "oh lalala, if miners stop enforcing X fork they will be excluded" fails to account for the fact that unlike the various PRBs, TRB does NOT actually implement any of the soft forks. so no, they won't be "excluded". nobody will notice they stopped.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the paradigmatic "soft fork" is "we will not mine transactions involving 1Terrorists address". permitting any other one is simply going towards this at whatever pace and from whatever distance.
mircea_popescu: they did.
whaack: the idea that segwit is safer because it is a "soft fork" is nonsense. during a hard fork one can vote with their coins. soft forks are a sneak attack to add a new rule on the part of the miners.
user705: the instinctual understanding is that hardfork is obviously bad but the way this new softfork was being sold I guess I got bamboozled a bit
BingoBoingo: Hence going all the way back to 2013 scammer Luke-jr
BingoBoingo: Ah, then perhaps read older Qntra too? Not much has changed since 2015. Enemies of Bitcoin simply cycling through new names as old ones burn credibility
user705: that's why I decided to finally go to the source
mircea_popescu: just the periodic herd wank on turner's captive cow sites.
mircea_popescu: nor has the matter been seriously considered by actual thinkers.
asciilifeform: i suspect that it is The Right Thing.
mircea_popescu: inexplicably, as the dorks made a lot of noise about it then and have studiously pretended to have forgotten all about it ever since, as if that's how this works now.
mircea_popescu: let's approach the easier end of this. the necessary precondition for any fork succieeding on the bitcoin network was set forth last year : http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/
user705: is that still considered to be a block size increase and therefore will lead to a lot of pain for many?
user705: but what is your view on just the segwit part?
user705: the hard fork that was proposed by idiots who claimed to be the economic majority but forgot to sign their BTC balances to actually prove that is obviously a non starter
user705: is your view on the segwit lite that seems to be bandied about as the solution same as segwit2x which is just outright wrong?
user705: what be the proper way to ask questions
mircea_popescu: consider though, how easily it flips on its head. mp recommends blogging, which was fashionable like cameraing was at some point, but no longer. and "you can't film everything stays the same", and "but the noise is distracting" morphs into "but i am afraid my well hidden shortcvomings which nobody can otherwise observe may be exposed" and who's teh anticultural nao.
mircea_popescu: it is STILL the fundamental anticultural agency.
asciilifeform: i dungetit, people tripped over each other's heads in the hurry to buy cameras for bedroom, toilet, etc
mircea_popescu: "but you can't film everything" "of course not" "the noise is distracting" "Youi'll get used to it" "but why!" "you'll see."
mircea_popescu: sure, culture is not intended to be either a prison or an answer (these haven't yet been unglued). nevertheless, the young man who does not understand why have cameras in the bedroom when mirrors suffice is the fundamental anticultural agent.

phf: kind of reminds me of those personal homepages of schizophrenics back in the early days of the internets
mircea_popescu: that'd explain all the ebcdic
phf: nah, lisp has been using the same image file since the early mccarthy days. each consecutive versions were implemented by manually patching the image file roughly into the needed shape all the way to present implementations
mod6: asciilifeform: also, what's weird is, despite the errors in the last paste above, an 'ffa_fact' binary is still compiled.
phf: presumably original version was assembled by jean ichbiah out of twigs, a simula compiler, a UNIVAC machine, a chicken, a wrench, a discarded truck tire. the process was documented in BUILD-PROC.TXT.3
mod6: also, above, I pasted the wrong link to adacore, here's the one that I was given to get the adacore source: http://libre.adacore.com/download/configurations
asciilifeform: this so far is in fact the thing i like least.
mod6: im more referring to the massive tarball that you get from adacore
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: the official adacore gnat installs in 3minutes, but with obvious caveat (you live with binarolade) << yeah, i see they do have bins, but was going to custom handroll my own, to not only get one sanely built for my own environment, but will also allow me to set whatever ./configure flags I might need for optimizations.
mod6: well, like I was saying in #trilema-mod6 around that same day was, perhaps we're going to need to start freezing some of the things required to stand up a gcc4+gnat4 if it becomes required. i have a fear that this shit will start to disappear eventually.

asciilifeform: we might have to confiscate gentoo etc sooner rather than later.
