Christmas Personified as a Catgirl (moonman@shitposter.club)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jul-2017 04:15:03 UTC Christmas Personified as a Catgirl there's a critical patch out for IOS and Android devices for a giant bug in wifi firmware, if you have an update waiting, install it sooner rather than later. -
Christmas Personified as a Catgirl (moonman@shitposter.club)'s status on Sunday, 23-Jul-2017 00:18:45 UTC Christmas Personified as a Catgirl Sorry, this is the same bug that is affecting other servers where queue daemon threads die. I'm not able to fix it myself. All I can do is eject a couple dozen queue items whenever it happens and repeat until it flushes the one fucking everything up, and it works again. -

Christmas Personified as a Catgirl (moonman@shitposter.club)'s status on Friday, 21-Jul-2017 21:50:53 UTC Christmas Personified as a Catgirl @marsprobe @clacke it's really fixing multiple things at once, bitcoin transactions consist of a portion that describes teh financial transaction, and a cryptographic signature to prove that the transaction isn't a forgery. segwit takes the structure of a bitcoin transaction, and removes parts from the signing, and moves the signature to the end. Functionally this makes the transaction size, in bytes, smaller, and it also changes what is signed and verified so that it is no longer possible to create two transactions with the same information but different transaction id. This bug was being used to spam the network and it prevented other impriovements from taking place. The "witness" is the transaction signature and the "segregation" means the moving of the signature to a place where it can be pruned when not needed after verification takes place by a node.
Sorry that this explanation is both too technical for a layman and not technical enough to accurately describe the change. -

Miners have approximately 2.5 days to switch their software to SegWit-compatible software or risk having their mining rejected by the network.
Because this change is user-signaled but ultimately enforced by running a node full-time, which most people are not doing, it is possible that miners could still reneg, and if 51% do so, the network could still split. -
Christmas Personified as a Catgirl (moonman@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 18-Jul-2017 16:24:21 UTC Christmas Personified as a Catgirl @clacke His beef with Pinker seems to primarily be that Pinker (representative of science in general) wants to extrapolate from rare data, on the premise that something is better than nothing, and Taleb says it's not because you just can't draw conclusions from whatever survived. I fall heavily on Taleb's side on this but admit there's probably systemic reasons why it's better for science to make a bunch of shitty extrapolations and then work on un-shitting them than to just refrain from studying things with sparse data. -

That should weigh on your conscience a bit.
not my fault or problem bad implementations of features by other clients were bolted on where the failure mode is loss of privacy, and this was warned about repeatedly ahead of time -
