Thu Mar 12 21:59:39 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> ascii is right though, for the purpose of this gavincoin thing, specifying block size should be sufficient
Thu Mar 12 21:58:31 UTC 2015 <davout> Adlai: for such a thing to make sense it has to give the ability to short gavincoin into the dirt, nothing else
Thu Mar 12 21:09:33 UTC 2015 <davout> it's not possible, because defining gavincoin as "everything that is not bitcoin" just doesn't work
Thu Mar 12 21:05:25 UTC 2015 <davout> either way, it can't really work now, there can't really be a contract that defines what a gavincoin is before the guy actually commits some code

Wed Mar 11 20:30:19 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> expect also to see 'siliconized' versions of gavincoin sold at massive discount and 'dropped from airplane' etc
Sun Feb 15 22:24:28 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> <asciilifeform> thestringpuller: also remember that the 'magic' of gavincoin was that it will work on existing hw, so long as 'everybody agrees' to throw away blockchain history and surrender << this, especially.

Sun Feb 15 20:43:36 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> gavincoin will, because gavincoin is fundamentally predicated on the broken proposition of adjusting to the world.

Tue Feb 10 19:24:31 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> if actually happens, even - it's chump bait. 0.8.6 nodes that will be 'seamlessly upgrades' to gavincoin (how? easy - will lose most history, faux verification from that point on, etc.)
