asciilifeform: decimation: you must really think about this to understand the implications. a single-address space machine must... actually work. every time - because it can in no sense be rebooted.
asciilifeform: (no distinction between disk and memory)
decimation: the cache can be refreshed
decimation: but presumably the OS comes on an EPROM
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine rebooting = pulling memory out
asciilifeform: it's not orthogonally persistent if this actually does something useful
asciilifeform: (when was the last time you pulled your disk's cache sram out?)
mircea_popescu: yes well. marketingis not intended to be that hard semantically.
unbalanced: Don't I need 2 hit points? Or just the one?
justusranvier: There could be dedicated areas in the memory space that could be hardware wiped, and operations resumed from a hardcoded address. That would be like a reboot.

asciilifeform: decimation: you don't need an address space as such if anything that might conceivably need to communicate with, e.g., keyboard, has an actual (matrix switched) electrical connection with it.
asciilifeform: that is, there is no reason why, say, garbage collector circuit (yes) needs to be able to request a byte from my keyboard buffer.
asciilifeform: just as you presently cannot dereference a pointer to your disk's sram cache
asciilifeform: and you live with this
asciilifeform: the brain-damage of the 'address space' concept is inescapable on a von neumann arch
asciilifeform: but if you have the option of doing the last 35 yrs. of hardware again - you can toss it.

asciilifeform: only the circuit that marshalls state from the independent modules (e.g. keyboard buffer) to magnetic storage needs to know that it's a disk, and comes in 0...N 'LBA' blocks, etc.
asciilifeform: if you have the magnetic ram (actually available commercially, no need to wait for hp) you can dispense with the disk.
asciilifeform: and build the actual state in fpga out of same.
decimation: using magnetic ram for each of the LUT modules?
asciilifeform: correct

mike_c: not yet. what kind of diff change are you trying to get this period?
unbalanced: I figure that the -25% to -50% range is desirable, as long as it doesn't fall so far someone can't easily spike it up 4x again.

mike_c: they do to me.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced so in th end how much did you end up paying per atc trying to mine ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c how ?
mike_c: having a block an hour does not feel optimal.
unbalanced: The diff is still unfolding so I don't have a final number yet. I haven't wanted to calculate it or I might stop.
mike_c: i ran the numbers, but I won't tell if you don't want to know :)
unbalanced: thestringpuller, by "dump" mike_c meant a pastebin link somewhere above, detailing how to use leaserig.net to employ mining rigs on demand.
mircea_popescu: mike_c sotell me then :D
unbalanced: See also #altcoin... that channel needs new blood.
unbalanced closes his eyes
mike_c: it's like we have discussed before. it affects merchants. it's not as easy to move coin around. this makes little difference for the occasional user, but 1 hour block time on average means sometimes 2+ hours for a block.
unbalanced: Rough back-of-the-envelope I'd say 400 satoshis per ATC if I'm lucky. Is that what you got mike_c or am I off by an order of magnitude?
mike_c: i got 371
unbalanced: Profit!
mircea_popescu: mike_c what merchants ?!
mike_c: and i ran the numbers before btc diff went up, so it could be better
mike_c: cuz the miners should have dropped in price.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: x-bt for one. is satoshijack still around? plus possibly some other merchants in development.
mircea_popescu: mike_c haven't heard from the satoshijack dude in a long time
unbalanced: Yes, I guess a tslb of >1hr only matters if the coin is moving around more than once an hour. Or day.
mircea_popescu: i really don't see th econcern. if anything, slow txn are good for a coin, they keep the people in a hurry at bay
mircea_popescu: the only folk it really hurts are speculators, of the redditard type

mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 me either tbh
davout: to me it sounds retarded to confiscate such an amount on a suspicion, especially when the suspected attacker has no economic incentive to be attacking in the first place
mircea_popescu: "My guess is that they never expected to get caught and suffer income loss as a result of their attack. But, once they were caught, I put a filter in place to block them from the payout queue (similar to the block on known MtGox addresses). Eligius’s offline wallet now has roughly 200 BTC work credits held from the payout queue under the attacker's addresses, that we have stopped them from stealing."
Vexual: well the other 50% prevents it, and as you tend to 100%, it becomes unprofitable
mircea_popescu: so elegius is stealing from some miner they had an argument with.
Vexual: how godly
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would someone keep a 200 btc balance, and esp with elegius, is beyong me.

mircea_popescu: the even more logical conclusion : there's some miner going around with 32 bit hardware, that's unable to correctly handle 64 bit nonces

nubbins`: so, now's their chance
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: is the auction not based on price alone?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, it's not.
bitcoinpete: "we promise to use these bitcoins to finance libraries for coindeskers"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's not bnased on th price at all. the fuck does the usg need 50mn
fluffypony: that's fucking retarded.
mircea_popescu: no it's not.
mircea_popescu: it's the usg laundering its ill gotten bitcoins.
bitcoinpete: "we promise to use these bitcoin to finance roads to hawaii"
fluffypony: no I don't mean from there perspective
mircea_popescu: through a "sale" to a "private" party.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they'll announce it as somewhat under market.
mircea_popescu: sadly i have little avenue to bitchslap them
mircea_popescu: but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that.
Vexual: does d really mean discount?
bitcoinpete: so is that them diddling the "price" leading up to the auction?
mircea_popescu: (it's really the same thing, trying to use the propaganda machine to control btc via "news" of "sales")
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete doubt it.
mircea_popescu: just the usual mommentum traders getting raped yet again.
nubbins`: but if i don't hop on the train, i'll never travel

mircea_popescu: right-o.
nubbins`: i'm a part of this thing &c &c
davout: mircea_popescu: wrt to the d. series, in case of acquisition the asset becomes worthless, right?
mircea_popescu: davout that'll be a case by case basis.
mircea_popescu: if they do a reverse-ipo for instance it'll stick.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that. << can you explain "they've been moving?"
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete the "we're selling bitcoin" news manipulation went in days before the "i'm going to kill your "investment" news manipulation" announcement.
mircea_popescu: why not at any prior point for the past... year ?
bitcoinpete: there's room for coincidence
bitcoinpete: i mean, the number of people who knew about d.series
bitcoinpete: makes for a hard, but not impossible, pill to swallow
mircea_popescu: traders talk. if they didn't, they couldn't trade. it's a complex beast.
bitcoinpete: to be sure
mircea_popescu: davout generally i might do something like "in case of acquisition by listed corp, you get the delta for the next 30 days"
bitcoinpete: i guess i didn't read the usg sale as propaganda-y
mircea_popescu: tho that's kinda dubious, but hey
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete bitcoin is war, you know.
Vexual: 30 mil pays some wages

nubbins`: how about kickass cotton paper?
mircea_popescu: silken finish ?
ThickAsThieves: mp make sure you are clear on the difference between metallic ink and foil embossed
nubbins`: ah, cotton finish?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves im clueless. halp ?
nubbins`: foil embossed looks like gold leaf stuck to the paper
ThickAsThieves: ink looks like graphite basically
nubbins`: could shave in it
ThickAsThieves: foil looks like metal
nubbins`: i think i have pics of gold ink on cotton, one sec
mircea_popescu: ah that's what i want, foil embossed

ThickAsThieves: i should also note, i personally find foil to be supremely tacky

mircea_popescu: nubbins` got a foil one anywhere ?
ThickAsThieves: yeah the gold ink does come off better than the silver
nubbins`: we're not set up for foil
ThickAsThieves: embossing is nice too
mircea_popescu: i see. okay! so why are there two "colors" of gold ?
nubbins`: that's the light shining off it

fluffypony: mdev: you got banned from #bitcoin?? lol
mdev: no reason to risk that
mdev: fluffy yeah a month ban

mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah, you know, like Blazedout419 did here :D
BingoBoingo: mdev: Ghash fucks up, hopefully enough miners like money to flee.

pankkake: stealth ban = ban but the mod stays anonymous?

mike_c: dumb question: is there any way to cryptographically prove you signed something on a certain date.
mircea_popescu: mike_c include the date.
mike_c: but i could sign something today with june 1st in it.
mike_c: i don't think there is, but thought i'd ask to make sure i wasn't missing some clever trick.
mircea_popescu: sure there's plenty depending what you want.
mircea_popescu: if you want to declare the date being x, include the date.

mdev: thankyou!
mdev: but yeah as other have said the problem with date is you can set it to what you want, so only way to confirm the date is used a 3rd party someone trusts
mdev: or various I suppose
mike_c: ah, so, like stuff something in the blockchain
fluffypony: mike_c: that's the other option
mircea_popescu: mike_c blockchain, here, whatever.
fluffypony: or pastebin
mdev: bitcoin trusts no ones date, they don't use dates they use difficulty I think

fluffypony: [01:15:01] mdev: your abuse won't be tolerated
fluffypony: mike_c: pastebin it (pastebin keeps the date) + dump the signature here
fluffypony: even if pastebin disappears you have a copy, and the signature can be verified by any of us that keep logs
mike_c: log.b-a or my blog still requires trust. blockchain doesn't, but i'm not a fan of abusing chain for this kind of stuff. pastebin i guess works. nobody would believe they were in on the scamz.
fluffypony: yeah but you forget
fluffypony: log.b-a isn't the only log
fluffypony: I log, and I'm sure dozens of others do
kakobrekla: theres the way-back-machine
kakobrekla: you can prolly leverage that
fluffypony: oh yes good point kakobrekla - you can add a link to archive.org on a particular date
mike_c: that thing still works? impressive.
mircea_popescu: still requires trusty
mircea_popescu: the thing is, the hardcore future problem is not resolvable, as entropy only goes one way
mircea_popescu: and so information accumulates.
fluffypony: mike_c: upload it to Maidsafe!
mircea_popescu: you can prove you know something and so establish it one way, but you can't prove you didn't know something.
mike_c: not 100% resolvable, but blockchain stuffing comes close.
mircea_popescu: actually stuffing it here is probably better.
mircea_popescu: blocks reorg. how do you know you won't end up on a dead chain
kakobrekla: you wait 6 confs.
mike_c: the thing is, it depends who you are "proving" to. since i am a b-a lackey, clearly i could get the logs mucked with. and nobody is going to care that fluffypony's copy agrees with it.
fluffypony: yeah I suppose
fluffypony: you could've paid us all
mircea_popescu: it's on the web lol.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since you're in bitcoin, clearly you could have the blockchain mucked.
mike_c: true. i do own ghash.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem as stated is unresolvable. as the future includes the past, you can't by yourself prove you were anterior to a point. only ulteriority can be proven that hardcore

mircea_popescu: er need as the motivation to enter the field. second, an unskilled labor force will want job security more than intellectual challenges (to some the very antithesis of job security). third, managing an unskilled labor force means easy access to people who are skilled in whatever is needed right now, not an investment in people — which leads to the conclusion that a programmer is only as valuable as his ability to get
mircea_popescu: another job fast. fourth, when mass markets develop, pluralism suffers the most — there is no longer a concept of healthy participants: people become concerned with the individual “winner”, and instead of people being good at whatever they are doing and proud of that, they will want to flock around the winner to share some of the glory."

mircea_popescu: re davout's link , "take the time to run bitcoind and p2pool." << running any recent bitcoind is much worse for bitcoin than mining on ghash
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.076 = 0.152 BTC [+]
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 46 @ 0.076 = 3.496 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: yea well.
mircea_popescu: davout but that aside i dun see much problem with it. gavin is copying the sec, hard to find fault even should you be so inclined.

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 8 @ 0.0241 = 0.1928 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: hence 'everybody who wants, has'
asciilifeform: just have to want enough.

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 10 @ 0.0750005 = 0.75 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: well these are not the same.
mircea_popescu: every horny teenager has a harem
mircea_popescu: they only have to... want enough ?
asciilifeform: unlike gurlz, widgets don't wiggle away if you're inept. persistence can substitute for talent in the case of trivial problem, hence the existence of 'instructables', 'make', et al.
asciilifeform checks inventory. no harem, but plenty of custom gizmos of every variety.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but 'everybody who wants, has' ; 'just have to want enough'. ergo, not everyone who wants has.
asciilifeform: should've been more specific - yes
asciilifeform: picture if you could crib harem source code.
asciilifeform: (betcha there'd still be annoying buggers who 'bah, it won't build!')

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.07494005 = 0.3747 BTC [-] {2}
mircea_popescu: betcha there'd be just the same folks as today for whom itwon't build.
mircea_popescu: o holy shit.

mircea_popescu: ok. do i need to say any more ?
asciilifeform would build.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile google thinks it's mine.
mircea_popescu: 1 and 2 in serp.
mircea_popescu: this is why never to trust google as an arbiter of relevancy.
assbot: tom knight keyboard - Google Search
asciilifeform: wrong knight...
asciilifeform: the latter (smbx) keyboards were castratos compared to knight's

mircea_popescu: the kind of people who have a strong desire /not/ to think become not just a liability on their immediate surroundings, they force a change in how civilization can sustain itself when these people think they should have some power, and indeed /have/ some power qua mass consumers, where everybody is in fact just like everybody else and were being a minority costs real money if not convenience.
mircea_popescu: So why do I not want Common Lisp to be a mass market language? Because this kind of people will want to exert influence over something that is good because it has been restricted to the “elite” that has made a conscious choice to be different from /something/, indeed to /be/ something. The very word “exist” derives from “to step forth, to stand out”.
mircea_popescu: i like naggum.
asciilifeform doing his best to help zombie-naggum keep walking, since '10.
mircea_popescu: guy shoulda definitely been more of a narcisist.

mircea_popescu: discourage exceptional people from vanity.
asciilifeform: hah, he was despised by half of c.l.l. for 'self-important prick'
mircea_popescu: so that they stupidly kill themselves, a la naggum.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't he die of neglected ulcer ?
mircea_popescu: that's not narcisism.
mircea_popescu: hypochondria is narcisism.
asciilifeform: but hell only knows, he had other reasons to waste away than the idiots and their blather. dumped his girl shortly before found dead, too (her blog is linked somewhere in there)
