t have asic heating because it interferences with the weasels"
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see what diff it makes, outside of perhaps being the avenue through which govts will try and limit the practice if they somehow decide they want that

t have bandwidth to do everything myself.

t. hard choice, neh?
dub: sadly looking at the labcorn thread I can'
t see her having made any impact
mircea_popescu: step 1 : no proofs. people clearly delineate whart proof is needed. step 2 : list of irrelevant crud masquerading as response to step 1. people clearly delineate why this doesn'
t qualify
Duffer1: i can'
t decide what they sound like more: desperate scammers, or desperate incompetents
mircea_popescu: what the fuck does a distributed network need a spokesperson for ? it doesn'
t. it's the government that needs someone to talk to.

t build anything as the

t spies to cover up the Enigma cracking circa wwii

t have to deal with your idiot notions of power.

TheSeven: "early"... like a year after the anticipated delivery it turned out that they didn'
t even have a working chip design from what it looks like
TheSeven: just to make that clear: From the insight that I have into that project (which isn'
t really much), I have no reason to believe that it is a scam. It probably also isn'
t quite as screwed up as bASIC was. But I can'
t really judge upon whether it will succeed in the long run.
TheSeven: I'm also not involved much with labcoin's first revision chip. I gave some advice to the ASIC engineer, and that's it. I can'
t tell if the ASIC engineer did a good job otherwise.
Neil: Rejection reason: Needs a name, "goat" isn'
t much to go on.

coconut: as if i wouldn'
t have put a little more effort in than that
dexX7: maybe scam isn'
t the right word
dexX7: didn'
t you noticed that the lab thread was spammed in 30 seconds intervals by different users with the same content over and over and over again?
mircea_popescu: Kleeck so you got burned. there's a reason investors don'
t touch hyips and the rest of the crud.
Kleeck: I don'
t think I was hypontized. I saw it for what it was. I think...
mircea_popescu: see, this is why it sucks being nobody: it doesn'
t matter what you'd like.
Kleeck: What about that doesn'
t make sense?

t think that'll happen. Maybe, but I doubt it.

t understand.
mircea_popescu: there's boxes here. Don'
t tell me you don'
t have boxes, I can SMELL them....
