thestringpuller: I didn't actually see him!
jborkl: I don't remember who has the other 3
mircea_popescu: jurov let's just hope they don't hardfork it again.
jurov: ofc bitbet won't approve it, but i'm certain some dude will come up with it (if it did not already)
ThickAsThieves: [16:47] <eeeCurrency_com> no... is that like that magic 8ball game? That can't be a serious tool
Namworld: It was short lived. The FatCat in town doesn't like his title to be usurped (aka nick is registered)
ThickAsThieves: if even *I* won't open a PT there, you know there's a problem
Namworld: I don't think lecturers are there to teach anything Bitcoin related... just startups related.
mircea_popescu: you don't know what you don't put the effort in to learn.
Apocalyptic: wot doesn't matter at all
Namworld: I don't think it matters. It's not like Bitcoin is hard to understand. The professors aren't bitcointalk.org morons either.
mircea_popescu: tjhey can't teach bitcoin. it's the law.
Namworld: Yeah. I don't think too much of it. But I find it fun professors have decided to make their student integrate Bitcoin as the payment system instead of something like Paypal.
Namworld: I don't see why all the criticism, that's all. Oh. So you expect we'll see a fucking thousand Bitcoin crowdfunding website clones being mass produced at Standford? That would be awful...
ThickAsThieves: we all know it won't stop there
Namworld: I didn't imply Paypal or Bitcoin were similar at all.
mircea_popescu: you don't link linux instead of whatever windows .dll
mircea_popescu: these two aren't interchangeable.
Namworld: But the fact it's Bitcoin isn't really important I guess.
Namworld: They don't teach Bitcoin at all.
Rulother: It won't happen again
gribble: Error: Couldn't get RSS feed.
Bugpowder: I couldn't cash out fast enough
Namworld: That ticker isn't accurate...
ThickAsThieves: if you can't take the heat...
furuknap: Is it something I'm missing or haven't friedcat posted any updates to the thread since June 21?
furuknap: Well, tey can fake that. Can you _prove_ that the NSA haven't faked your UK passport, huh?
furuknap: Can you _prove_ that you didn't accept the position?
copumpkin: I wasn't eligible :(
Guest73906: who's to say AM isn't the NSA?
matthew_boyd: Don't live in the U.S, don't have these problems \o/
thestringpuller: I don't need no stinkin' traffic!
jurov: it shouldn't be hard to fetch data from bf directly
mircea_popescu: i use white superfluffy shit. i don't think white on white writes too well.
Azelphur: does that mean they won't run on UK power, though?
dub: don't supposed anyone here can confirm BFLs address
jurov: lol kakobrekla, seems evoorhees isn't interested in such discussions at all
matthew_boyd: Damn, I wanted to be there so badly, but I couldn't in such short notice, anything really good I missed?
furuknap: Wouldn't know what to do with them :-)
furuknap: Friedcat said it would be 65nm, but I don't know if they changed their minds of course.
ThickAsThieves: so you think KnC can do things that AM can't?
furuknap: No, they won't because they don't have the money. AM isn't near having $100M in money because they pay out virtually everything they make in divs. Their tech is always based on prevoius generation, which is cheaper but not nearly efficient enough.
furuknap: All of this, BTW, is why I don't think difficulty will keep growing for very long; the risk to large investors (ie those that need to come along to fund next-next gen chips sub 28nm) is simply too great.
furuknap: If they don't, they're infinitely less efficient :-)
furuknap: No, the mass production isn't there by a long shot. Like I said, KnC (which are the most efficent miners as of now) must sell hardware for $200 million until FEbruary 2014 to maintain 10% network growth. They're not even close to that.
jurov: haven't they been made?
Namworld: Well honestly, I don't think the halving is what makes the biggest impact on this. The insanely high price of AM and lowering USD/BTC rate does.
furuknap: The cost to go from 28nm to 20nm is very high and someone needs to risk a huge amount of money to possibly succeed in reaping a 1:4 ratio on investment. I don't think you'll find many investors willing to risk that.
furuknap: That is because of the halving effect; investments now have much shorter time before halving, so they can't be as high as they used to be.
jurov: the article silently assumes when you buy PMB-like stuff, you are buying some % of hashrate... but that couldn't be farther from the truth
Namworld: furuknap, you're assuming ASICMINER doesn't get smaller process/better ASIC out over time, and that old hardware never goes bust, thus it's always going up.
ThickAsThieves: but you love factoring things that aren't factors
furuknap: Can't comply, sorry. Whether you acknowledge it or not, it still exists and affects pricing today.
furuknap: With the halving effect, AM is losing money for investors every week. With 30TH they wouldn't even beat NASDAQ composite.
furuknap: It's reverse calculated by looking at the blocks they solve, not the actual hashrate, so yes, to some extent. I wouldn't call it guess but it is based on luck.
Menoetius: isn't the publicly known AM hashrate just a guess based on luck ?
ThickAsThieves: numbers people won't care
Namworld: Didn't find the light color too annoying. It's not like most backgrounds on the web around light colored with dark text.
thestringpuller: don't think so
cads: Namworld: after a simple search I don't find any companies that offer AMD GPU clusters, which stinks.
Namworld: They don't rent a Nvidia at 1/10th of the cost it would be to run the AMD equivalent at home =P
Namworld: Clouds don't offer AMD
Namworld: In any case, I can't mine/use my GPU at 100%, I just put a damn huge 6990 in my underpowered PC (with 300W power suply). PC would self shutdown.
Namworld: and I can't get vanityminer to run on my 6990 for some reason to try it.
Namworld: Costs aren't too prohibitive to do that =P
Namworld: whitespace/punctuation wouldn't really... fit.
cads: it's a damn shame that public keys can't include punctuation or whitespace!
BitHub: don't fall for it
parseval: I think my pies are close to finished. Whatcha think? http://coinflow.co:8000/chart/ASICMINER-PT (the data is a little old, this is from development db which doesn't update frequently)
furuknap: If you don't pray, now would be a very good time to start.
parseval: BitInstant won't trade with my state anymore.. funny, because I thought they were based in NY
furuknap: Oh, sorry, this wasn't the insane asylum. Wrong channel.
Namworld: True, divs and a business's state of affairs matter not for most traders it seems. It's just a random walk. I assume they don't know about poker/casinos and just trade stocks randomly for the thrill.
furuknap: I wouldn't, but then again, I've been bearish on AM since 1.9
furuknap: Depends on premium. For a .05 premium, it probably didn't look like too bad a deal.
Namworld: Don't know what I was thinking.
gribble: Error: Couldn't get RSS feed.
jcpham: market.rallying.can't.sleep
jcpham: market.crashing.can't.sleep
ThickAsThieves: a bot can't do what i do
thestringpuller: don't you have a bot for that by now?
thestringpuller: oh I know it will evolve over time. but evolution can't happen if the planet is devoid of life.
thestringpuller: I don't like being devil's advocate*
thestringpuller: Dude, I don't like being a dream smasher, but this is something that I've spent a decade researching under people much smarter than I.
thestringpuller: This didn't just happen. It took time to develop those armadas.
ThickAsThieves: having it be possible isn't reliance
ThickAsThieves: the crowd doesn't know what it wants
thestringpuller: just because you can dunk doesn't mean you shouldn't make your free throws
thestringpuller: the paradigm shift isn't the issue it's the fundamentals beneath it
ThickAsThieves: that things don't change
thestringpuller: these aren't my concerns, these are things that have been discussed thoroughly for years, and are still discussed
thestringpuller: This isn't creationism...
mircea_popescu: dude, the game isn't based on players constructing anything.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i don't think the "full play experience" will be evident period. as i imagine it'll keep on changing
ThickAsThieves: you don't even know 5% of how the game will exist
thestringpuller: that's irrelevant, the full play experience won't be evident for at least a year
thestringpuller: Player based emergent depends on simple interactions between players. With a limited player space, you have limited emergence meaning the full experience isn't evident for some X duration.
thestringpuller: I don't think you're getting it.
ThickAsThieves: cuz 99% of bitcoiners aren't gamers?
thestringpuller: I don't remember much steam punk at all in Chrono Trigger...
