Duffer1: i'm just trying to give you a picture of just how bad it is here, that washington post article doesn't really capture it
Duffer1: doesn't help anyone though
pankkake: that's what I tried to do with bernankoin, but I didn't test and nothing worked
asciilifeform: idiots couldn't even be bothered to implement 'port knocking.'
dignork: b0n1, found the workaround, in cygwin install libuuid-devel and binutils, don't ask why
Duffer1: have to guess the next diff approximately or the block doesn't pay out?
jurov: !t m s.bbet
jurov: !t m s.mpoe
KRS1: here's one worth investing in..it can't possibly be a scamcoin:
asciilifeform: reply came: 'we don't know why you need defective transistors, but for your convenience...'
asciilifeform: (legend re: american company buying the first japanese transistors; in the u.s. at the time it was customary to request '5% defectives' or whatnot; factory didn't test.'
mircea_popescu: "I resent being an artist, in that respect, I resent performing for fucking idiots who don't know anything. They can't feel. I’m the one that’s feeling, because I’m the one that is expressing."
mircea_popescu: some proposition doesn't become a right just as soon as someone somehwere doesn't see why it shouldn't be, that's why
jurov: anyway, i don't see why it shouldn't be a right that at least someone should care. of course not everyone.
mircea_popescu: this is flat out nonsense. i don't care about most of the ~10 bn extras the earth is carrying.
mircea_popescu: and he doesn't care that you're neither happy nor any good
jurov: i don't see how one can avoid some sadness when thinking about others
nubbins`: i haven't lost power here yet
mircea_popescu: from experience, the people who aren't ever sad are the people who are better than others.
asciilifeform: didn't they let some bastard take his shareholder piggy and run off, or was that somebody else ?
mircea_popescu: i don't have a smartphone thingee
pankkake: shouldn't the triangles be down if - ?

asciilifeform: they all flood if the pumps aren't working
asciilifeform: who wouldn't love a house with a 200T door.
the20year: i don't know the name for them, but the big new wood heat here locally is a insullated box

the20year: as for cost, they can't be beat
asciilifeform: you know, it really doesn't get much dirtier than firewood
mircea_popescu: i don't think the concept of dirty existed in the universe this thing was made.
BingoBoingo: I'm kind of suprised people who claim to be running mining farms aren't talking about stirling engines and heat recovery.
asciilifeform: it doesn't get any simpler than a stirling engine.
asciilifeform: (afaik this doesn't actually exist)
nubbins`: "you know you guys can't burn that inside, right?"
BingoBoingo: plambert: I don't imagine it really makes much difference. How much difference does pouring a gallon of milk make for a river.
mircea_popescu: the people who banked on them last year aren't around anymore, if that's telling.
Duffer1: it sounds like it shouldn't be anyone's thing
mircea_popescu: people aren't here because they don't know what facebook is or can't find some dollars.
VanCleef: don't make it more confusing topace
the20year1: wasn't sure
Duffer1: i don't see why else he'd still be talking about it
Duffer1: don't read too much into it man :P
testingUnoDosTre: couldn't I be just as damaging on linux while dealing btc as with windows?
asciilifeform: this is why i don't really have any ill-will for crapware artists. they should be seen as educators.
mircea_popescu: no they shouldn't.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla wasn't that the reddit guru what's his name, fantomas or something doing a max keiser ?
testingUnoDosTre: Isn't there about 1 million coins in some of the original accounts?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lame bots that merely lift wallets don't count
mircea_popescu: all the "magic trading profits bot" stuff on the forum going on for 1+ years by now ? there's no way it hasn't.
TomServo: Wasn't a bet on this topic being discussed just a few hours ago?
jurov: if they aren't deprecated :D
mircea_popescu: !t m s.mpoe
assbot: I haven't understood a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
mike_c: and a landlord who will take you. i guess if you're in the business of quick evictions you don't worry about reliability much. turnover is a bitch though.
mike_c: i am surprised that there is such a group of people that are qualified to rent a home for $700 a month but can't get a $70k mortgage. seems depressing, but I guess there are much worse things in the world.
the20year: The things you see when you don't have enough cash....
mircea_popescu: as if sales aren't depressed enough
mircea_popescu: basically the problem of postmodernism is that words don't mean anything anymore ;/.
mircea_popescu: aww didn't mean to hurt his feelers ;/
Duffer1: ah i didn't mean ben's article, i meant the bloomberg one
benkay: firing up an #otc reputation a few months ago and ramping up your trades looks like a real good idea in retrospect, doesn't it?
benkay: some people don't really feel like going through the AML/KYC rectal analysis.
benkay: thanks for the post idea: bitcoins aren't for spending. stop being retarded, silicon valley.
BingoBoingo: Completely safe untraceable email isn't a thing. You need to worry more about protecting messages than trying to protect the channel.
mircea_popescu: a) the craigslist guy isn't a billionaire ; b) i am.
Duffer1: but to take that one step further into facilitating drug trade, i don't believe you're ready to hide from the awesome and terrifying might of the usgov
Duffer1: your target market just doesn't exist man
ohider: on my side, the t shirt business is legit legal
ohider: i might be selling t shirts or i might be selling contraband
ohider: i post my ad for these shirts and say hey, heres my bit message address i don't want to discuss financials over email or phone.
ohider: say I'm a seller selling custom t shirts
ohider: but it can't be shady
ohider: i don't want to reinvent the wheel but it will be a craigslist/kickstart for anything college kids want
Duffer1: i'm pretty sure reddittip doesn't do that
Duffer1: i think you're right, i just don't see how you'll be able to monetize
Duffer1: ohider i don't think there's a bitcoin tip function for deviantart, but if a website like deviantart started accepting bitcointip and it became popular, deviantart would just add it and you'd be s.o.l.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the research papers online model chiefly works on the basis of their vast database of already submitted papers which they own and don't pay the authors for [anymore]. unless you have 1000s of works of already stale material it'll be a tough nut to crack.
pankkake: I'm a fan of namecoin and I can't even access it
Duffer1: i don't think i read exactly what it was you wanted to do with the site
Duffer1: oh wait you're trying to give him .1 and he doesn't want it?
ohider: he refuses on the basis that he just doesn't want it
ohider: roomate won't accept it
Duffer1: ah so a rant on tx fees wouldn't sway them.. hmm
Duffer1: take it or don't
ohider: he doesn't want to but i know there's a breaking poit
Duffer1: ok maybe not china, but maybe putin wouldn't pass up such an opportunity to spit in the US' eye
pankkake: i don't really believe in those politics. it has to make sense economically
Duffer1: oh i didn't say it was bulletproof
Duffer1: that assumes any of the other 189 nations wouldn't work in proportional measure to protect it, let alone the x amount of bitcoiners who already have billions in it not acting to protect themselves
ohider: if bitcoin threatens fiat wouldn't that be a small price to pay to kill it
pankkake: gpus cost a lot too… (except of course that most litecoiners are 15 year olds who don't pay for gpus and electritiy)
asciilifeform: re: ltc/asics: 'you can run but you can't hide.'
ohider: doesn't asic allow people who have huge amounts of capital to make waves in the bitcoin environment
mircea_popescu: seeing how possibly the onl;y thing keeping ltc alive is the insistent dedication of people who wish to mine but can't afford asics
ohider: but he is homeless and can't get a bank account
Duffer1: oh dunno didn't read, is he surviving on coins he already had or is he magically earning something from nothing like the wired article?
pankkake: didn't read the article but sounds like the usual hype
Duffer1: wouldn't you want something without a public ledger if you don't want to worry about getting expelled?
