Tue Feb 28 22:29:26 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> jurov: laugh, but 'pumped hydro' has been a thing for decades
Tue Feb 28 22:18:54 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> barely went above half a millie even with last weeks four day backlog
Tue Feb 28 22:16:12 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> well the usual answers are 1) spend a fortune filling the chain with tx from me to me
Tue Feb 28 22:16:07 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> say you set up a sham relay. folks up- and down- stream realize you're a sham after one or two blocks. now what.
Tue Feb 28 22:14:35 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> where a node only talks to his wot.
Tue Feb 28 22:14:31 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> well that is a mining network as i understood it
Tue Feb 28 22:14:04 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> ok so what do you want to take down, a mining company?
Tue Feb 28 22:08:54 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> one could run btc with such t-cells, and a btc pool with your pyramid of tx solvers
Tue Feb 28 22:08:18 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> these are interesting considerations but they seem one level up from what constitutes the definition of a coin
Tue Feb 28 22:04:23 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> the problem of monopoly capital is worth considering but I doubt a systemic solution will make itself manifest
Tue Feb 28 22:02:53 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> hehe, i'm not saying lice aren't a problem - just that one should tackle the giant disease causing ones first :)
Tue Feb 28 22:02:06 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> a 'brief look around' 18th c. europe would have you conclude that lice are inescapable part of human body.
Tue Feb 28 21:59:31 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> a worthy goal in theory, but a brief look around shows obviously centralized and broken cartels running stuff into the ground everywhere else we look
Tue Feb 28 21:56:15 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> and the first reverser who wants to rape you and willing to put in a bit of work -- rapes you.
Tue Feb 28 21:55:40 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> these are interesting perhaps from a psychiatric -- but not from algorithmic - pov.
Tue Feb 28 21:51:14 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> yeah, or a McD's owner could also say "This guy gave me the cash, and fuck you"
Tue Feb 28 21:50:58 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> there'd be no infrastructure, because every single truffle will end inside a pig.
Tue Feb 28 21:49:10 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> there is no way to farm out the search for these puzzle-numbers without giving every participant in said search a chance to snatch your reward away.
Tue Feb 28 21:48:37 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> as for how to do 'non-outsourceable puzzles', i will give a trivial (if impractical) example. say you 'mine' by searching for pairs of primes 7 apart, having 400 decimal digits, in which at least 47 are 9s. as soon as you find one, you sign it with your addr's privkey, and as soon as you sign a block with ~that~, you now have a coinbase + the fee reward.
Tue Feb 28 21:39:22 UTC 2017 <funkenstein_> the easier historical way was to require a signature made by the coinbase receiver in the header
