Mon Mar 07 16:27:22 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> wtf is this shit even.
Mon Mar 07 16:27:19 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> with any luck it'll be something like "miner cartel, what a ridiculous idea - not like the anon derps involved are a) known to be idiots and b) have certain incentive do do exactly this! moreover, the much simpler explanation is that... uh... uh... mp conspiracy! and scam! and fraud! and he doesn't care about bitcoin! and i'm an idiot that'll show him!!11"
Mon Mar 07 16:26:26 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> but, time's not wasted, go forth and write down your proposed simplest explanation.
Mon Mar 07 16:25:26 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> PeterL this statement would be a lot less ridiculous had the "simplest explanation" been actually formed as the article even encourages the reader to do!
Mon Mar 07 16:24:11 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> but in any case, there is a substantial difference between "i think X on the basis of my personal experience" and "mp said x on the basis of bitbet experience as documented on qntra". exactly of the sort and caliber as the difference between "i think there exist alien" and "here's pictures of man walking on the moon", in fact.
Mon Mar 07 16:22:52 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> as if everyone's a little bit everything and it all evens out or something, dunno.
Mon Mar 07 16:22:31 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> somehow the difference between this and that keeps getting elided.
Mon Mar 07 16:22:09 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> besides the point - it is a factual matter now.
Mon Mar 07 16:21:55 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i thought this was quite apparent long ago
Mon Mar 07 16:21:01 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> sort-of like us electoral process works.
Mon Mar 07 16:20:55 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> initially i thought that "nodes" is a meaningful term, but what i see now is a large ball of node with a bunch of sattelites that have ~ no importance flattering themselves into thinking they're part of a network.
Mon Mar 07 16:20:43 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> when mircea_popescu said 'miners' i assumed he had intelligence pointing in that direction.
Mon Mar 07 16:20:05 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: imho the relevant bit here is that we (at least i) do not know ~who~ withheld it, and then exhumed and transmitted it, and why
Mon Mar 07 16:19:34 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> also a minor point, but at least relevant re protocol discussion.
Mon Mar 07 16:19:25 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> this is a minor point. there are better bits. such as - that an transaction known but not advertised constitutes the simple definition of "transaction withholding".
Mon Mar 07 16:19:12 UTC 2016 <assbot> Logged on 03-03-2016 16:18:56; mircea_popescu: in any case, at the time this was discussed in the logs, the miner priority was in the 9th decile, about 16% of the global mempool.
Mon Mar 07 16:18:47 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> from the sturles thread, i learned that most idiot nodes are set up to ignore what they think is 'double spend' on purely chronological what-i-saw-first grounds. and mircea_popescu was mighty pissed, and i also (to me, this was new, i do not habitually track prbism)
Mon Mar 07 16:18:08 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> but the somewhere'd be prolly qntra i'd guess.
Mon Mar 07 16:17:38 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> wasn't publicly shared.
Mon Mar 07 16:13:55 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the way it worked, from the beginning, was that he did the site and i did admin and payouts.
