(trilema) ben_vulpes: what would he need the money for, pete_dushenski? embedding contracts in the blockchain?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: note to self: next time compress the blockchain *before* copying.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what's the thesis on block reward?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Adlai: bitcoin days destroyed is a good correlation to check too
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nope nm
(trilema) ben_vulpes: huh i think mine's wedged elsewhere
(trilema) ben_vulpes: they are paying, the bill just isn't due yet.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: dozen?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yet somehow programmers are supposed to be a dime a doze?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: guess this means is hould sell, eh
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for the first time ever my mpoe holdings are underwater
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mpoe is a goddamn mystery to me, Adlai.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Adlai: if anything, i'd have expected a surge as those who held mpoe bought more to balance their crypto holdings while accumulating more btc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i suspect mpoe acts as a stand in for an mpex market fund
(trilema) ben_vulpes: could just be momentum and a long dry spell on mpex
(trilema) ben_vulpes: many legs to the trade
(trilema) ben_vulpes shrugs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu will bang on about that at will
(trilema) ben_vulpes: there is this sneaky theory that btc price is driven by mpoe holders

(trilema) ben_vulpes: no desire to tax the poor leaky boat
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hardly groundbreaking. just tiptoeing around, because...enthusiasm kills the sapper.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this abomination is what's edging my copy of 0.5.3 up to the wedge point: http://pastebin.com/itWYUk9f
(trilema) ben_vulpes: stuff i've written so far: http://pastebin.com/Zf4T9xF7
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i don't have a blockchain that wedges yet, nor have i reproduced the wedging point
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Adlai: just in skeleton form atm
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Adlai: additionally, i'm scripting the approach to the wedge point so that i can reproduce both the wedge and it not happening trivially with git bisect and other scripts
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the story behind its selection is pretty amusing and may need to be revisited.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 0.5.3 is just a not unreasonable starting point for the project.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 0.5.3 and earlier have wallets, and all the concomittant braindamage like "reindex"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: reverifying the blockchain is something else entirely.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: required for "importprivkey" etc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: joecool: "reindexing" is something that gavin's fork does to find all of the transactions relevant to addresses in your wallet in a given blockchain.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: my plan, more accurately.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Adlai: git bisect is actually the plan
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that i can use to track down potentially unwedging commits i should say.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm working to crap out a "blockchain" that i can use to test this wedge
(trilema) ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: i'm still inching my blockchain to wedging
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but if you're going to hack on it, start with the 0.5.3 dist at f9beb4d9.org, apply asciilifeform's "chicken" patch, and then yours on top of that.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lol don't really know if it even works yet
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ml for patches
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (albeit poorly at any of them individually)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the preference of "the community" for something that sorta-works across a broad spectrum of use cases
(trilema) ben_vulpes: kinda why the open source ownership of satoshi's codebase failed so dramatically.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "the people" want everything they're told they want and to pay for nothing.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is management of a single address not enough for you?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: joecool: what's a wallet?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: best argument i've heard.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: why so much more confident in the satoshi turd than the conformal blackbox?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: fear
(trilema) ben_vulpes: inertia
(trilema) ben_vulpes: actually probably less cuz drones, n'est?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: more shellshock in the populace
(trilema) ben_vulpes: double down
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so does the patchpusher work or not?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (again)?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hah you guys got nubbins` programming?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: heyo jurov mailthing still ongoing saga?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: wow did you assholes poop out 1600 lines today?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: the great fork war is inevitable. and we know what is on their side of the line. but what is on the other? the miners' mystery forks? our gadget, that doesn't even load the blockchain? << consider the gadget a piece of art. as always, the miners determine everything.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: clearly wagering on usg winning this round
