asciilifeform: wouldn't it be riotously funny if a 386 eventually outhashes the ASICs...
mircea_popescu: ai isn't wits, really. but anyway, i always imagined the headlines. "bitcoin provokes singularity"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes. and cryproanalytic attacks on hashes aren't new, per se.

mircea_popescu: there hasn't been a kidnapping in romania since i dunno, years ago.
mod6: i couldn't care less.
mircea_popescu: let me put it in the following perspective : american guy making 1300 usd a month (mostly govt aid, he doesn't work for it) is sitting around listening to angry music and glaring at passerbys because "he's been cheated".
mircea_popescu: you don't want to be aroundwhen shtf.
dub: why don't you leave?
mircea_popescu: they don;t like that.
mircea_popescu: tiberiusiv in fairness, that's prolly because they're not much used so they don't opverrun their limits

mircea_popescu: it doesn't think much of the rally lately does it.

unbalanced: Okay so coinbr gets me access to some of the MPEx features I wouldn't get yet with Havelock. Roger.
mircea_popescu: dub she's pr, obviously she dioesn;'t compose her own poetry over there.
unbalanced: Ah... so MPOE-PR seriously isn't you with a girl's picture?
unbalanced: I was pleased to find SDICE via Havelock and haven't looked much past that.

rikur: I don't think that a hybrid model between BTC and fiat works.
