Thu Mar 17 15:50:23 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> this because 2 bits = 2^2 = 4. had the shift been 17 bits, then you'd get to do 2^17 = 131072 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
Wed Jul 29 21:42:08 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> and bits of nothing are like 11-12 satoshi or you'll prolly get some for free from someone (me even)
Sun Feb 28 17:13:25 UTC 2016 <phf> ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is a straight rip of the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp << correct way to do that one is to write get-index-best that returns block-index structure that you can get bits value from, and then have get-difficulty do all the equivalent calculations in scheme, bitshifting and all
Wed Jan 15 03:53:28 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> this is also a handy way to store bits in the chain that will never, under any conceivable scheme, get 'pruned.'

Wed Sep 02 21:22:45 UTC 2015 <shinohai> I love my tech, don't get me wrong. But a few nights in the desert or mountains does wonders for clearing away the clutter amongst the little grey bits.
Thu Sep 03 17:03:39 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1261558 << how might one have, physically, low-latency without high bandwidth? you could serialize the bits, and immediately get the other. it is only high bandwidth that does not automatically imply low latency
Wed Oct 23 20:02:35 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> <nubbins`> on the surface it sounds great. rub the contact mic against any surface and get all the entropy you need << o no, not at all. you can't use such low bits.
Tue Feb 25 08:46:55 UTC 2014 <cerelenius> i already explained bitcoin has 2 sources of demand 1) speculative and 2) settlement, break down what settlement means and you get mostly black market activities and maybe 5% of little bits and pieces

Sat Mar 14 03:36:50 UTC 2015 <bagehot> Where I can go to get the gory details on how the interesting parts of the bitcoin source code are implemented and why those interesting bits actually work cryptographically and in a game-theory sense. I think its pretty incredible that a bunch of people can credibly store tokens of considerable value on a decentralized, digital network.
Sun Apr 26 03:54:22 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: it's so deeply baked into the structure of the world, you'll never be free of it. << johnson noise, shot noise, etc. are intrinsic to electrical circuit. yet we have to sweat and build whole other box to get pc to cough up random bits.
Wed Jul 08 17:59:56 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> 'We have enough bits mapped that we can create a functional verilog model for almost all bitstreams generated by Lattice iCEcube2 for the iCE40 HX1K-TQ144, as long as no block memories or PLLs are used. ' << wake me up when that last part changes. and when i can get this chip from ten different chinese foundries.
Thu Aug 20 06:38:34 UTC 2015 <hanbot> <mod6> so i ended up chaging the file name to "vdiff.sh" + chmod 0755, and then changing the script so it reads: "vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch" << picked the renaming bits out of here, worked for me, thanks. did not get the syntax error!
Tue Jan 19 18:49:24 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> "I'm going back to the frozen north, where the pricks are hard and strong. Back to the land of the all-night stand-where the nights are six months long, where you get it in bits as hard as tin in the land where spunk is spunk - not a trickling stream of lukewarm cream, but a solid frozen chunk."
Tue Jun 06 16:30:52 UTC 2017 <punkman> kakobrekla: only did full water fast one day, wasn't too bad though. eating like a banana/orange in the morning, some vegetables at night. some bits of cheese, nuts, fish to get some salt. maybe around 1/10th of the usual calories.
Wed Jan 21 06:26:33 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> "The current solution as proposed by Bitcoin Core is, when you get right down to it, ?let?s just be really careful with code changes and hope for the best?. There is no real disaster recovery or prevention plan. Yes, there is ongoing work to split the consensus critical bits out into a library and I think this is a good idea and am glad to see it happening. However, it still does nothing to address the real fun
Mon Jun 29 02:12:27 UTC 2015 <assbot> Logged on 29-06-2015 00:50:35; mats: i'd be happy to share a few bits to encourage folks to get one
