Mon Oct 17 05:27:30 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> funkenstein_: it is a pretty obvious idea.
Mon Oct 17 05:26:16 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> while we're entertaining possible diversions from stable equilibria, the scenario of a ??? (hard fork) being economically propped up by fiat issuers is an interesting one
Mon Oct 17 05:17:27 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> one thing i found out is that the site is a word play on warren buffet
Mon Oct 17 05:07:15 UTC 2016 <ben_vulpes> regardless, 'spv' can't "influence emergent block limits" because 'spv' is a word for a hack around not validating the entire blockchain oneself, and 'trb' can't possibly influence anything because it's a nearly completely frozen sourceball and has no agency
Mon Oct 17 04:06:07 UTC 2016 <ben_vulpes> no but srsly funkenstein_ do please assplain how emergent behavior is to happen around a lethally stable schelling point.
Mon Oct 17 04:03:11 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: dun forget, these poor folx are living in their imaginary parallel universe where there is a 'bitcoin' outside of trb.
Mon Oct 17 00:08:12 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> it still seems a tough sell to a miner
Mon Oct 17 00:05:00 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> from a game theory perspective, you have 12.5 plus some pocket change in fees... are you going to take a little extra pocket change to risk losing the whole thing due to people not accepting your larger that 1MB block?
Mon Oct 17 00:00:19 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> yeah, well the same goes for Lord Derpin III of the tardpublic with a TRB node doesn't it
Sun Oct 16 23:56:17 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> yeah that's similar to the other one you posted about doing a 51% attack on a fork
Sun Oct 16 23:51:46 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> oddly enough he has a section about sybils in which he contradicts his earlier statments, most cogent part of the thing
Sun Oct 16 23:45:12 UTC 2016 <assbot> Logged on 16-10-2016 14:21:25; punkman: https://medium.com/@zhangsanbtc/ending-the-soft-hard-fork-debate-a-safe-hard-fork-is-the-same-as-a-soft-fork-c0e96eeb62d0
Sun Oct 16 23:22:11 UTC 2016 <punkman> those two looked a bit... senior?
Sun Oct 16 23:21:13 UTC 2016 <punkman> "could an aircraft fueller on airport be called the pilot of the aircraft he fuels? This takes nothing away from the importance of the fueller but just as a fueller is not a pilot, Dr Khan is neither a nuclear scientist nor the father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb."
Sun Oct 16 23:20:49 UTC 2016 <assbot> Dailytimes | Is A Q Khan really the father of Pakistan’s nuclear programme? ... ( http://bit.ly/2dgSPDa )
Sun Oct 16 23:13:57 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> seems a surprising likable character, considering
Sun Oct 16 23:05:43 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> from the Assange thingy, I also found this part lulzy: "KATIA was designed by experts. A University of Notre Dame mathematician, Scott Drotar, a Google engineer from the Reverse Image Search team, and a women?s rape counselor, who has a career background in mathematical statistics. Some of the people involved in the project have their identities shielded for legal and professional reasons"
