adlai: alas for i can't stuff the worst ones back into my tendons
adlai: mircea_popescu: i really wish red tape will kill all the stupid ideas dreamt up tonight
adlai: crowdsourcing 'peer' review from hacker news, and they don't even pay shares by the wordcount!
mircea_popescu: anyway, the diocletian edict is a fine example. the problem isn't even economic there, it's purely political. "oh, we have a problem we don't know how to solve, here's some red tape" "tell you what - it's not worth the risk of dealing with your red tape AT ALL. see ya". "oh noes! who could have predicted!"
adlai has heard back from the latest incarnation of the Bcc funnel, this one with a request to cheatsheet https://chatsecure.org/blog/using-ed25519-public-keys-as-identifiers/ for the interview << more in the 'reinventing wot' dept
adlai: i hear you get least-positive-bignum points on the SAT for this
BingoBoingo: Test all the children: "While the old ISAT test often saw as many as 95 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards, the highest-scoring school in St. Clair, Madison, Monroe or Clinton counties was Damiansville Elementary in Clinton County, with a proficiency score of 69.2 percent, and the lowest-performing school was Lovejoy Elementary in Brooklyn with a proficiency rate of zero."
adlai: if androids dream of dead ghosts masturbating, but no Tulip cluster simulate their moans, does that still constitute spectrofilia?

mircea_popescu: this is like saying "the pornstar is brunette and tall." mkay ?
mircea_popescu: "The idea of a federal betting parlour on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and it's grotesque."' << so ?
mircea_popescu: specifically to get your two years interdiction, usg needs to control 99.999% of the network, and admitting half an exahash was legit that requires they get a further 50 or so yotahashes. and that nobody else does anything.
mircea_popescu: to obtain similar performance to wires in this respect [delay only, not in all the others, you still get bitcoin, rather than usg-fiat moved around] you need a 0.2%ish of the network.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform specifically : to guarantee your transactions are on average included the same day, you need control over ~0.5% of the network.
mircea_popescu: as some derpy woman said, "congrats to the winners [which is everyone]"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically the french version of the redditard decided that right wing females appreciate macho men. further decided that all men are the same, and that includes him. further decided that hey, if they queue up to kneel for mp, why not for him. figured out that this is ridiculous, so instead of doing it wrote about it. everyone [that never does anything] got all excited about it, then realised it's meaningles

BingoBoingo: I violenced the text until it gave up its salient points.

adlai invites agents of all horsemen, not just USG, to make such proof worthless; not because he's too lazy to make it worthwhile himself, but because he just wants two coins to rub together
adlai: so that they would be fabulously wealthy when they were returned to Earth.' - more from kenny v
adlai: 'The fictitious people in the zoo had a big board supposedly showing stock market quotations and com-modity prices along one wall of their habitat, and a news ticker, and a telephone that was supposedly connected to a brokerage on Earth. The creatures on Zircon-101 had told their captives that they had invested a million bitcoins for them back on Earth, and that it was up to the captives to manage it
BingoBoingo: !up justanotheruser
adlai: there's a lightning network pun in here but i'm too spent to kill the joke. nite, or morning, as the custom may dictate
adlai: offer null and void for usg's L_n presence, its keys don't verify with the blessed rings
adlai: obviously this payment is only owed if the proof is in a form acceptable to any and all future investors in my shinola distillery, usg ktulu or otherwise
adlai: fwiw (more bullshit not worth deeding) i will pay all my personal profits to date to the L1 who provides the correct conjuring of their extraction from public ticker data
adlai: there's something amazing about getting a whisker signal before assbot, and waiting to see which direction it guesses
adlai: well the pay bitcoin-by-proxy for cumshots!
adlai: but call me when they're paying bitcoin for aborted stem cells
adlai: unfortunately it costs less btc to keep another human alive than it does to kill yourself, and not even malthus could've foreseen this tragedy
trinque expects to succumb to some pollution or diet related illness and die the usual way.

asciilifeform: ahahaha the admiral poindexter thing
adlai: bwah 'The market, known as the Policy Analysis Market, or PAM, never got off the ground. Democrat politicians in the Senate uncovered the plan in July 2003 and it was dropped amid public outcry.

adlai: seriously though, i have logs better worth burning my carpal tunnels over, and they tend to come in parenthesized pairs
adlai: beyond bitchering about relaying as though your nodeship can seed the clouds
asciilifeform: 'free market' doesn't come with a 'let's all chill and think and do we really want thermonukefest??' button
adlai: and there's no public way to politely request that hashpower babysitters bid down
asciilifeform: adlai: the 'free market for negative block space' follows trivially from the scheme discussed in the old thread, where miner optimizes for fee/byte
adlai: perhaps, the market is known to precede itself
adlai: what tray, there were only two cubes :(
adlai: really, if it thinks such a scheme will pass, i invite the sexprs into my neural sandbox
asciilifeform: 'go ahead and transmit your tx to the free^H^H^H^Hterrorist world, but be prepared to wait two years for a confirmation. or you can send to u.s. fed miner and get in the next block.'
adlai: the magic of bitcoin is that you don't have to press either one of them, you can just shout until the button breaks of its own idiocy
adlai: it increases revenue for miners that follow their free market boners, while providing a clearer signal of the hand that rubs them
trinque: how is that distinct from the txspam "attacks"
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2015 03:21:25; adlai: lol yes, another one of my ideas not worth self-censoring is a free market for provable tx censorship... basically anything that gets money a better megaphone to fund its own security

adlai hates it when the market speaks to him in numbers... or loves it, for they sometimes tickle his whiskers
BingoBoingo: Look there somethings you can let the derps fart out in their bubble bath. Some things like this though actually run the risk of being taken seriously by the Chicoms.
adlai just ran out of tulip tokens for defending ideas he can neither long nor short, back to midwifing s.mpoe's self-identity crisis
adlai: if you're not a party to testing tepid bathtub nucleation, then you're unable to steal the vJimCrow witnesses
adlai: if you'd prefer to stick to Bitcoin, your witnesses remain safe and sound in txins where for better or worse Our Prophet Satoshi intended them to be
adlai: bitcoind gets steal-friendly witnesses, from bold experimenters who sacrifice their Bitcoin on the altars of the mine-verify greed-off
BingoBoingo: Read what? That there's a link to different data structure where actual signatures are? How the fuck does actual bitcoind get "witnesses"
BingoBoingo: * adlai fails to understand how "let's softfork blabla blabla blabla anything" can be viewed as anything other than playing in the bathtub << The Jim Crow "soft phork" isn't anything near soft in the way previous ones have been. Would blocks still verify on actual bitcoind? Sure. Transactions? lol nope.
adlai: yeah, i left a positive rating so they know he's good for it
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for luke-jr from 10 to 9 with note: still claims via solicited PM that he plans to break bitcoin someday
shinohai: Wasn't it just last week he was considering doing work for the nvxim cult or whatever it's called?
adlai: let idiots lose their own money. jeez. i'm done with this topic, back to my usual bullshit
adlai: as far as i can tell, the only person who mentions hardforking segwit after this idea is your favorite costume artist
adlai: note that neither sipa nor Luke-Jr nor most anybody else is advocating for a hardfork.
adlai fails to understand how "let's softfork blabla blabla blabla anything" can be viewed as anything other than playing in the bathtub
mircea_popescu: adlai if you read carefully, nobody gave a shit at any point about what the congenitally retarded / ustards do in their bathroom.
adlai: i didn't say pay the guy to break it
adlai: or properly taglined, "a place for miners to sell the only good they're licensed to manufacture"
adlai: lol yes, another one of my ideas not worth self-censoring is a free market for provable tx censorship... basically anything that gets money a better megaphone to fund its own security
adlai: once y'all get over the dick measuring you'll realize that supporting larger vN blocks is the cheapest way to reduce vM block capacity, short of paying miners to generate empty blocks, or the existence of a free market for negative block space
assbot: You rated user Luke-Jr on 16-Dec-2014, with a rating of -6, and supplied these additional notes: He tried to add blacklisting to bitcoin..
adlai: anybody who cares to find out what that rating means can probably understand it from reviewing the background to all the !s drama
adlai: stopping to hurl threats at lemmings for long enough to watch them play in their own language does a world of good to your blood pressure
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for luke-jr from 10 to 10 with note: highly amusing, misunderestimatood architect of OP_CONSEQUENCEVERIFY
