Tue Jul 07 14:47:08 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> so much as opening pogo and touching inside multiplies the cost of the operation.
Tue Jul 07 14:46:06 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> adding so much as a shoelace to pogo would multiply the cost.
Tue Jul 07 14:45:25 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> you go to war with the pogo you have, not the pogo you wish you had, to borrow a bushism

Tue Jul 07 14:38:54 UTC 2015 <decimation> I agree but the enemy would have to know that this is a pogo vs. other bitcoin node
Tue Jul 07 14:38:23 UTC 2015 <decimation> then the pogo can average the timestamps relative to its own samples of block times
Tue Jul 07 14:37:45 UTC 2015 <decimation> over time, a chain is built which contains timestamps and relative timestamps from the pogo
Tue Jul 07 14:37:24 UTC 2015 <decimation> precisely. pogo starts its own stopwatch, and starts watching for blocks to verify
Tue Jul 07 14:37:02 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> pogo is able to keep time, in the relative sense, similar to how msdos did (periodic interrupt)
Tue Jul 07 14:36:37 UTC 2015 <decimation> do you trust your own clock on the pogo?
Tue Jul 07 14:35:25 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> say i feed your pogo the entire sequence of blocks 0,5000 with the period times. now it believes that it's 2009 ?
Tue Jul 07 14:34:19 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> transmitted just for the purpose of fucking with pogo
Tue Jul 07 14:33:53 UTC 2015 <decimation> asciilifeform: what about waiting for a few hours to observe several blocks upon pogo boot?
Tue Jul 07 14:19:29 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-07-2015#1190838 << pogo has to work when plugged into the wall! what 'switch' ?!! and you cannot learn ~anything~ about the current time from a purported block. this is circular logic!1111 block is only valid ~if~ within 2h of current time. any backflow can and will result in enemies 'nudging' the time
Tue Jul 07 14:19:29 UTC 2015 <assbot> Logged on 07-07-2015 10:58:01; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re the entire timing discussion : suppose the pogo gets started always with a realtime switch, -time=14blablabla, and after that gets its time from the most recent block it accepts and checks for next ones being within +-7200 seconds.

Tue Jul 07 04:03:49 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> pogo needs to plug into the wall and immediately fight
Tue Jul 07 00:10:42 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> decimation: my pogo didn't come with a gimbal telescope; did yours ?
Mon Jul 06 23:40:00 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> on pogo we very much have no such thing
