Mon Mar 13 22:06:58 UTC 2017 <adlai> a) it actually doesn't, didja see the bitcoin-charlie cockup?
Mon Mar 13 22:06:04 UTC 2017 <adlai> if you were to continue making ad-hominem attacks rather than giving a link to a specific point in the logs, i might have to find a more polite way of asking you to be more polite yourself
Mon Mar 13 22:04:04 UTC 2017 <adlai> fwiw if you want to go full conspiratard - the nsa's infinite fountain is not just all the existing hardware, but also the fabs. should aforementioned managers approve the attack plan, they only need to spend a couple months outproducing the rest of the mining manufacturers
Mon Mar 13 22:03:35 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> adlai: there are some very simple ways to break bitcoin permanently and irreparably , if you can turn up a 'infinite warehouse of hardware'
Mon Mar 13 22:02:54 UTC 2017 <adlai> attacking bitcoin by mining it yourself is a tacit admission of its sovereignty
Mon Mar 13 22:00:20 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> adlai: the 'warehouse of hardware' thing was a scenario i described in 2013, when first found #bitcoin-assets . for some reason it has not materialized.
Mon Mar 13 22:00:06 UTC 2017 <adlai> arguably this is the only situation where such a fork even would occurr
Mon Mar 13 21:59:20 UTC 2017 <adlai> obviously if there's a fork designed to isolate trb as opposed to prb, it will probably be supported by a warehouse of hardware ready to attack whichever algorithm trb might have planned to switch to; but this is a hypothetical, and if there is no alternate algorithm, there's not even any need to magic additional funds for the warehouse
Mon Mar 13 21:57:18 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> Framedragger: it is not an observation, it is a declaration.
Mon Mar 13 21:56:08 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> and we might be talking about different things under 'protocol'. for so long as old blocks parse, and every new block is a valid block by trb rules, trb continues to work.
Mon Mar 13 21:42:51 UTC 2017 <adlai> i have a growing impression that miners are, in a sense, luddites. this works in bitcoin's favor (note that i say bitcoin, not trb, or prb), because it means they prefer to keep using the least "improved" code that still functions
Mon Mar 13 21:40:03 UTC 2017 <adlai> i'm saying, that a more sensible question for Framedragger to have asked (instead of "why aren't you working on gedankengeld?"): "why aren't you working on making trb survive a fork where miners continue mining prb?"
Mon Mar 13 21:37:35 UTC 2017 <adlai> you misunderstood me. i mean as a trb patch, INSTEAD of trb-i
Mon Mar 13 21:35:35 UTC 2017 <adlai> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2017#1467863 << a better question might be "why not work on keccak patch for trb, so that trbcoin will survive the P/T fork long enough for mp to buy the dip"
Mon Mar 13 21:33:36 UTC 2017 <adlai> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2017#1467858 << these strong words are correct! but only by virtue of tautology. the thing is such a tiny throwaway that making it a freestanding bitcoin program would dwarf the original, leaving the easy loophole - "oh, but this is now a wholly different program than that one!"
Mon Mar 13 20:10:59 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> a very commonly used color
Mon Mar 13 20:10:38 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> a lot of foks in CN ask me what is the word for ?
Mon Mar 13 20:09:14 UTC 2017 <Framedragger> can imagine atmospheric filtering being a very complex thing indeed
Mon Mar 13 20:08:22 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> the Cruttenden material on Sirius as a binary companion of the sun is interesting
Mon Mar 13 20:07:55 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> and the motions of stars in the galaxy of course also a mystery
