furuknap: I just don'
t see the value that everyone else wants to pay.
furuknap: They will have to be, and I really think they will be, but the picture isn'
t as one-sided as everyone thinks. Right now, we're cheering that AM wins the race every week, but nobody seems to notice there is only one horse.
furuknap: Bitfury may be a very strong outsider. If they get their shit together for June, they're already one generation ahead of AM and can produce hashes much faster. Then, AM must catch up, and we don'
t know where in the process they are.
furuknap: Yeah, I saw that. Don'
t think it's that much of an effect, though.
furuknap: Or rather, there are enough people that don'
t take the halving effect into account to ignore it :-)
furuknap: Repeating it doesn'
t make it true.
ThickAsThieves: you can'
t make assumptions about the climate at the time of the halving though
furuknap: That's about as far as you need to go to understand "Magick". There is, of course, far more to it that that, but it doesn'
t involve anything supernatural or anything like that.
furuknap: "The Secret" as far as I've understood, is mostly based on thelemic principles, yes. It's a bastardization as far as my peers have determined it, but I have not read it so I don'
t know.
furuknap: Magic? I don'
t do magic. Magick, on the other hand, I do all the time. So do you.
ThickAsThieves: can anyone truly multi-task, isn'
t it mostly just ignoring many things at once?
furuknap: truffles, like I said, this isn'
t really a philosophy forum. Feel free to PM me, though, unless of course everyone is fine with the conversation.
furuknap: truffles, by what you probably mean by "believe in a God", no I don'
t.
saulimus: what's the point of adopting a philosophy your lifestyle fits the best with? isn'
t that just doing what you'd like anyway?
furuknap: This isn'
t a philosophical channel, but if you want to learn, read up on it. It's a pretty fascinating philosphy.
furuknap: They apparently do :-) I don'
t.
furuknap: You're allowed to do whatever you will, but hating seems somewhat counter productive and thus wouldn'
t make you much of a Thelemite.
furuknap: In some cases, that declaration is implied. 'Everyone' that reads my SharePoint stuff know most of my opinions, and for those that don'
t, I have made them clear no numerous and public occasions. I don'
t need to say in every article that "I do not approve of SharePoint Server, I love SharePoint Foundation, I hate certain members of the SharePoint dev team in Redmond, I like certain members of the community" and so on.
furuknap: That is your opinion and like I said, does not affect mine. If you don'
t understand, I have no problems with that.
mircea_popescu: being an asshole works too. most people can'
t distinguish these anyway.
ThickAsThieves: I don'
t care about their perception, except for when I do
furuknap: I don'
t care about their perception, I care about my perception. If I come about as someone that even in the remotest of possibilities may say something for any other purpose than neutral information, I've failed and thus need to reevaluate my approach.
ThickAsThieves: i still don'
t see why you think anyone cares about possible price manip
furuknap: I'll explain a slightly simplified method of the one I'm using, because it is easier to understand and doesn'
t require too much speculation.
furuknap: I was out so only saw through remote access so couldn'
t respond then...
ThickAsThieves: the typical buyer of AM wouldn'
t know what to do with them
furuknap: Head to tired to make sense right now. Beer isn'
t helping. Will have to argue or agree tomorrow.
furuknap: Sshhhh... The others aren'
t supposed to know yet.
random_cat: I was aware of coinbr, but don'
t think i know jurov
mircea_popescu: anyway, they expire on last friday of month,
T this one N next one
sikbwoy: Mpex doesn'
t trade ASICMINER anything correct?
jurov: prolly miners/hackers aren'
t so much into conference tourism
jurov: Can'
t identify browser version. Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) konqueror/4.10.2 Safari/534.34
mircea_popescu: basically this is racism. they're americans so their shit don'
t stink.
jurov: and satoshidice can'
t even have a website in da us
jurov: i can'
t imagine how would that work
mircea_popescu: twins are going VERY weird about it if they don'
t want to fight.
deadweasel: i can'
t follow any of this 'conference' bullshit.
mircea_popescu: heh, some people don'
t have wives (tho not married but only regarding themselves as such)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was commenting about how ppl will "invest" in anything just as long as itwon'
t work.
mircea_popescu: asicminer isn'
t there, avalon isn'
t there, bitfury isn'
t there ?
truffles: cool designs plastered on boring
t-shirts..
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if it's all the same to you i'd much rather very motivated 20somethings don'
t "educate" anyone.
mircea_popescu: furuknap things you do for experience aren'
t worth it by default.
mircea_popescu: to date i don'
t think any btc merchandising did well, in spite of the apparently great siotuation (as there's no ip holder to pay out)
truffles: its like every other guy wants to do a
t-shirt line..
ThickAsThieves: also BitcoinPride
t-shirt guy is there, if you care...
BitHub: haven'
t talked to them aboutbitcoin songs yet
mircea_popescu: if we weren;
t out here causing trouble how would the bitcoin go up up up ?
mircea_popescu: WILLdude don'
t worry about it. lose everything every other week. what diff does it make.
mircea_popescu: as far as you know you don'
t get project cloaks unless the project assigns them.
furuknap: Just take a walk, have a beer, fuck that nice girl down at the library, and while you're there, pick up a book on investing. Don'
t forget to read it.
WILLdude: furuknap: So basically I should just treat it as a football bet with an extremely unreliable friend? So I should think that I probably won'
t get anything whatsoever back?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that's ok, we don'
t endorse them either.
furuknap: They don'
t endorse US dollars either.
furuknap: Doesn'
t matter if they deploy 200. They can'
t really grow much more without killing Bitcoin.
furuknap: Buyer wins if price exceeds 2.8 over the next X days. Didn'
t see how long, though, but the put I mentioned at 1.75 is on 28 days.
furuknap: Yeah, but the ROI on those blades are already pushing the limit. Add another 50 TH to the network and they won'
t sell for what they have been doing.
furuknap: Yeah, but you can'
t really plan past 50%, can you?
furuknap: Here's one thing that slightly bothers me. AM still hasn'
t reached their 50 th yet. I'm confident they will. However, if they are just holding back for not reaching 50%, that'll mean a whole lot of buzz when they do deploy additional hashing, despite the ratio of total not increasing by a percent.
furuknap: Heh, at these levels, you couldn'
t force me to :-)
furuknap: Yes, let me just rush in and do that... Because, I don'
t know, so many others can'
t be wrong?
blehg: Havelock doesn'
t have options, do they
furuknap: Ah. Any functionality they have that for example BTCT doesn'
t have?
furuknap: Like I said, I don'
t trust the site.
furuknap: I hate the Bitfunder site. Takes almost a minute to load the first chart for me and I can'
t get myself to trust that two-site thing with wee exchange.
blehg: I haven'
t exercised many
furuknap: Serious or joking on the 400 calls? I haven'
t seen any volume on BTCT.
furuknap: Bruised feelings because people that don'
t act rational when they buy sure as heck dont' act rational when they have lost.
furuknap: I can almost time visits to my article with sudden price hikes in AM. I'm saddened by the amount of people that don'
t heed simple advice and just throw money into a game they apparently do not understand. No wonder why casinos make a lot of money...
parseval: Some reason to avoid them? I know Havelock has an budding API, but they don'
t quite have the breadth of assets
parseval: It feels like SDICE hasn'
t been expanding like it should have been.. and now, it's contracting a bit
jurov: we don'
t need nobody
