cool

so the conspiracy is a factual conspiracy now

Three information security consultancies with links to US spy agencies cooked up a dirty tricks campaign late last year to destroy Wikileaks by exploiting its perceived weaknesses, reads a presentation released by the whistleblowers' (pdf) organization that it claimed to be from the conspirators. Consultants at US defense contractors Palantir Technologies, Berico Technologies and HBGary proposed to lawyers for a desperate Bank of America an alliance that would work to discredit the whistleblowers' website using a divide and conquer approach. Since the plan was hatched, disgruntled volunteers mentioned in the PDF broke away from Wikileaks, financial institutions withdrew services, Apelbaum was harassed by the US Government and Amazon denied service to Wikileaks' website.

Will get around to writing more so check back there often (you can take what you wish and publish/cut however you want from me without attribution).

you need the new version which is 3.x.20

not on front page yet i dont think

Everybody upgrades their client to use the new precision.

fuck you! I would if I could!

you quoted genjix not gene

Whether the precision should be made larger from int64 to int128

I'm sure the inventors of the internet didn't guess that ipv4 addresses would become exhausted. It's not a big deal to double the precision and much easier to change now than in the future.

In the future if there's multiple implementations, then getting a universal upgrade from all clients will be impossibly difficult.

How about the LSE (London Stock Exchange)?

I take no view either way about most things (healthcare, public safety), but over regulation of city development is most definitely bad. It's because the US regulations for city development are a ton more stringent than here in Europe.

Go to any pre-communist country and you'll see everywhere filled with huge motorways and nameless grey office blocks. Those kinds of cities are depressing for the people that live in them because there's very little variety as they're sheep herded around the city.

All the most famous European cities (Prague, Krakow, Belgrade, Barcelona, Rome, Sofia, ...) are built around an old pedestrian city centre with the format of: main high street (usually without cars), monument (marker for orienting yourself) and park/greenery. That's natural development. Suburban cities have no such structure.

You could draw an analogy here with if the internet was centrally controlled. Websites were 'allocated' and required strict planning permissions instead of evolving naturally to fit a need.

SCAM!

If it's just the JSON api then why not fix it when it becomes a problem? Upgrading an API to a new one is not a problem as much as upgrading a protocol.

The real question is whether the precision should be made larger from int64 to int128

I'm sure the inventors of the internet didn't guess that ipv4 addresses would become exhausted. It's not a big deal to double the precision and much easier to change now than in the future.

wtf roads are the ugliest piece of shit ever. why the fuck does every person need to own a car with parking right outside his house because their fat ass is too lazy to walk 20 m to a car-park or take a train.

here in europe everywhere is accessible by means of public transport. the reason american cities are so retarded (needing cars to go everywhere) is a result of amazingly retarded urban design due to extreme government regulation (suburbanism).



It's like suburbanists prefer to build cities for cars, not people.

See New Urbanism:

If roads wouldn't exist as much as they do now if government didn't exist, then perhaps it's because we dont need them EVERYWHERE!!

suburbanism is the failed idea of a city being micromanaged by a central party, partitioned into specialised zones according to the industrial revolution philosophy. it's an epic failure. roads congest despite being optimised for efficiency (you have to travel from one specialised zone to the other side of the city for the next). people are depressed from spending all their time inside cars and lack of human interaction from bustling city centres. it's expensive, bad for the environment, urban sprawl, segregated (leading to rich areas and inner-city ghettos). absolute disaster.

Is there any kind of peer2peer file server? Say we have a few laptops laying about and wish to share/mirror each other's files.

A creates file wishlist.txt
B, C and D all mirror this file on their own hard drives.
B edits wishlist.txt, A edits wishlist.txt and there's a conflict. File splits into wishlist.B.txt and wishlist.A.txt otherwise the file is merged peacefully.
Versioning/ability to revert files .etc Locking file ownership...

It'd be a good collaboration/sharing tool for working with artwork rather than requiring a central server. Git is too restrictive and pedantic for anything outside of code.

me and mtux are going to work on a newb-oriented client so that too will be fixed.

bitcoinme.com sounds too spammy/like a sales pitch for my tastes.

Hey,

I want to propose a new main page.

Today I did a drive-by 4chan while waiting to backup my computer. There was an economic argument raging with people lambasting banks and screaming about the government. I posted about bitcoin (the basic ideas) and watched with wry amusement only one person respond.

It was a one-liner about the title on the site "If you have version 0.3.9 or lower, please upgrade for an important security update!".

Reword this. As we know it's not a critical update but a good update. This is very off-putting as it looks very sketchy to new people (insecure network).

To me and other hackers (or types that congregate around these sorts of projects), the main page looks fine. Nice, clean, simple. We can see through it to the content. But to most it looks like 1995.

The main page should be art-sex. The main page should show that the project is highly active. The main page should hand hold.

- Beautiful graphics. Blues are cold colours which are mainly used on business sites to indicate distance/professionalism. A new main page should use yellows/reds/warm colours which come out of the page instead of receding away.
- A news feed showing the latest posts. I've written a bot to update forum posts onto a wikipage, but when I tried to port it to the Bitcoin wiki I couldn't find an API for SMF to integrate it with.
- Clearly highlighted/focused links which guide you to 1) download bitcoin 2) use it 3) buy bitcoins from a trusted trader 4) find services to use. The current layout is hacker-friendly. Neat sections and find everything for yourself.

One idea is possibly to just use the wiki as the main-page,
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page
That can be easily be reworked to fit. It's easier to quickly update things to get them working. Lots of content/activity for a new curious user to click through rather than a single dead page.

If we could find an API for SMF then I can easily add a forum post section like on,

(See the layout? Left is articles/static info. Right is community/news. Main items are highlighted at the top of the page)
