mircea_popescu: anyway, people mine because if they don'
t mine then it's profitable
KRS|Gotyawallet: asciilifeform: where i used to work we got hacked and one of our servers was made part of a botnet..i tracked them down to an irc channel in the philippines..done with perl..it was pretty basic stuff but still cool to take apart. they got in because the idiots setting up the server didn'
t secure the /tmp directory and jboss had its admin console exposed.
mircea_popescu: which they do, inasmuch as they handling money can'
t be libertards, and a sliver of libertards believe everyone who's not equally retarded is a fascist
pankkake: shouldn'
t really affect havelock… maybe cfig which is now the same guys apparently
nubbins`: hm, there aren'
t any financial reports for vtx?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i wonder what will happen to the shares of people who don'
t want to hand over all their personal info?
nubbins`: well if they don'
t plan on paying divs, there's either some serious salaries or some really shiny iMacs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don'
t lose track of all these badly typeset rants, when we burn the old maculature we're going to want new maculature to replace "the history of the world" with.
pankkake: didn'
t miley cyprus do something like that?
Duffer1: wasn'
t that supposed to be an app?
mircea_popescu: i mean, it responded to half year's worth of pressure nicely. but it isn'
t enough.
Duffer1: i wonder who their target market is that isn'
t already serviced by localbitcoins
mircea_popescu: yeah i don;'
t quite grok what it's supposed to be. thought maybe the owner is here.
mircea_popescu: apparently you can'
t mismanage a property into the shit for 2+ years and then have it survive. who knew!
mikaeldice: This new site, for example, has some clear flaws. 1% house edge with no commission, but they give away bitcoins every hour and promise 50% commission to all referrals. The math doesn'
t add up.
mikaeldice: I have addressed a couple of small problems that other games haven'
t, but I'm not at all convinced that it'll stand up to the signal:noise ratio with so many sites out there now. Time will tell eventually
pankkake: still I enjoy watching sc2, even if I don'
t really play it
pankkake: oh, there are many, but I don'
t have an account on those places
BingoBoingo: Well, turning corn into ethanol isn'
t really green in any other sense than letting Coca Cola know there might be more money in turning corn into fuel instead of soft drinks and letting the poor get Poorabetes
BingoBoingo: Well, they don'
t do paradigmatic change as well as they used to. Many campuses in the Middle West are making great strides in turning corn into ethanol in ways that would make Jack Daniels himself turn white in shock. Try to suppose through these institutions though that there might be a better fuel than ethanol and you are stuck.
BingoBoingo: b0n1: If I have one, which I am hesistant to say whether I myself do or not it isn'
t for sale or open source. I think if something exists and is useful that there is probably an open source implementation or an alternative...
BingoBoingo: Thank you Apocalyptic, but I wasn'
t the first to say that.
pankkake: I don'
t think any smartphone application is a full node already?
Apocalyptic: it's clear smartphones/any portable device won'
t be able to hold a full node
Apocalyptic: it won'
t, blockchain storage requirement will increase linearly, and less so than common storage space
pankkake: OTC trading certainly won'
t die, though it's impractical
pankkake: yeah, I think - with a bit of hope - that when it happens it won'
t matter
Apocalyptic: i wouldn'
t mention a random negative btc article here
Apocalyptic: <KRS|Gotyawallet> to handle the number of transactions that visa handles in 3 months the bitcoin system will require 14 Terabytes of storage space. That's 14 terabytes of hard drive space you would have to add every 85 days!
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Talk:Scalability#Disk_space // that couldn'
t even be possible
mircea_popescu: notrly a new point by any means. that's why the more sensible people have been saying all along that bitcoin isn'
t nor does it aim to be a visa competitor.
Namworld: I don'
t use my MPEx account much, if at all, recently. No options at a premium I like.
Apocalyptic: meh, they don'
t deserve that priv reading trilema is
mircea_popescu: there's two types of arrogant people in the world, those who know they're much better than you and those that don'
t know you're any better than them.
Apocalyptic: I just don'
t understand where that arrogance come from given they're utterly clueless
Namworld: I don'
t need to, I can just read that...
pankkake: CheckDavid: yes. probably usually doesn'
t account for "lost" coins
benkay: pretty sure gribble ain'
t around today mang
jurov: thx. it isn'
t said if it was in the battery
benkay: hey options trades aren'
t announce in here?
pankkake: I wouldn'
t have sold at loss because of the "news"
pankkake: isn'
t "gone" the hollywood word to avoid saying dead?
BingoBoingo: Ouch. Pawn shop didn'
t have any batteries?
pigeons: i really can'
t use anything without a physical keyboard, waste of time
BingoBoingo: I don'
t much understand the appeal of a browser in the pocket.
BingoBoingo: Not yet. That there isn'
t a great emailing cellphone means though that the cell phone in its lesser forms should be an emailing too at all.
mircea_popescu: but doesn';
t this seem a little... strange, so to speak ?
pankkake: I don'
t think so. it's a good way to "cash out" your btc without going through the hassle of an exchange
Duffer1: i don'
t think i've ever seen scarlett play competitively, i saw her casting at homestory cup, she sounds like she knows her game
pankkake: I wouldn'
t call 12 BTC a "showmatch", though they're probably filthy rich already
pankkake: :D no scarlett vs. naniwa showmatch (that I didn'
t know about)
thestringpuller: isn'
t there like a list of people who already are committing to buying one upon release jurov ?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: I don'
t know if there is one worth mentioning.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: It isn'
t quite so simple though. On the popular architectures you get most of the OS choices though.
mircea_popescu: i think that's more of a ltc thing, no one cares but it can'
t hurt to have around.
BingoBoingo: Sure, urbit was from scratch, but it can'
t find anyone capable of actually building anything from scratch. Minix is that ancient thing, couldn'
t sell textbooks anymore and then they just ripped NetBSD and people still don'
t care about it.
mircea_popescu: seeing how the modern state has legislated itself into a corner, i don'
t see it i tell you.
BingoBoingo: "Who hasn'
t been in a drunked stupor?" to cite the Illustrious Toronto Mayor Rob Ford
Apocalyptic: i get what you mean, but do you thing this specific info I quoted isn'
t accurate ?
BingoBoingo: I might have to read a bit. Didn'
t know his new UK project has backing.
BingoBoingo: Maybe pankkake? A distinct problem is that even an actual inputs.io hack can'
t absolve him of having been CoinLender's operator and primary borrower simultaneously.
BingoBoingo: fiat500: And they've been right beat if they haven'
t been mining and dumping altcoins
Apocalyptic: i don'
t see the Deprived's DMS as a destruction of wealth , though it's most creative for sure
BingoBoingo: Duffer1 has claimed the bounty for finding the article per: "Sometime late last year, a publication released an article on Bitcoin Barons or Bitcoin movers and shakers that was linked to recently and I can'
t seem to find the link anymore. Among the listed names were Nefario, Diablo-D3, and Caldwell. It came from a fairly major publication. If any of the aspiring bitpoor are listening on this channel or reading the logs, I'm offeri
fiat500: if there weren'
t two sides to the market we'd either be at zero or the moon now
Apocalyptic: fiat500, I don'
t remember specific names but if you browse a bit on the forums i'm sure you 'll find some
fiat500: sort of like when you're sick but don'
t want to visit a doctor in case its something terrible
BingoBoingo: Sometime late last year, a publication released an article on Bitcoin Barons or Bitcoin movers and shakers that was linked to recently and I can'
t seem to find the link anymore. Among the listed names were Nefario, Diablo-D3, and Caldwell. It came from a fairly major publication. If any of the aspiring bitpoor are listening on this channel or reading the logs, I'm offering a 0.025 BTC bounty to anyone who can find the link.
pankkake: interestingly both claim they don'
t list scams, in some way
copumpkin: the real one wouldn'
t call me that
Apocalyptic: russian blackmarket or gov isn'
t the same rate
