cazalla: i'd rather move her kilns and tanks into the garage and turn that room into a computing space tbh though lol
asciilifeform: in unrelated but pleasant news, i just unwrapped a beautiful edition of john strong's 'procedures in experimental physics' (1938)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: into the depths i go.
danielpbarron: http://trulyscummy.tumblr.com/post/113137290948/why-i-stopped-being-a-tucute-and-started-being-a >> i was so brainwashed i though i was a piece of trash for being a trans male. i thought i was a "demi-poly-sexual, grey-gyno-romantic, self-diagnosed autistic felinekin". i actually thought this to be true.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/u7MgpbF.png << ripped out of google bookturd
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hm i guess my hypothesis is that usg won't claim enough of remaining unmined btc to throw a wrench in the individual sovereignty of those in #b-a.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i am still curious re: your hypothesis. was it that usg will not claim the remaining unmined btc, or that it doing so is uninteresting to us ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently there's no russian note of this, at least on the web i see, but anyway : when patrascanu & co went to moscow to try and work out an armistice, molotov broke the drone with a very pointed "ce ati cautat la stalingrad ?"
mircea_popescu: it's not like, oh, i need something from him. i don't. he needs shit from me, in the future, and he won't get it, and the reason is exactly right here.
mircea_popescu: i care what he reads like i care what chickens eat.
asciilifeform: i bet he doesn't even read it today
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:27:38; asciilifeform: re: l0ltr0n1cs: today i found out that ed felten (formerly 'freedom to tinker' blog, lawsuits against riaa, etc.) has been a usg stooge for several years now.
danielpbarron: i posted a link to chat through an "anonymous" twitter account named SWARMsecret
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 20:54:52; kakobrekla: i don't see a reason why not.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130859 << iirc i banned him. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i've yet to meet a 100-200W lcd
mircea_popescu: i can make a doublespend right now, what's to keep me ?!
jurov: i was asking about a grid, not about chumper
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i don't work with 'oh noez', but i like testable hypotheses
mircea_popescu: "i'm sorry, we only do adult sizes here."
trinque: I don't buy it for a second.
trinque: I understand why people would want to think of the US as this fat, incapable beast that happened as some fluke
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: who leads ? i dunno. doesn't israel have some chip fab facilities ? other than that, china.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i'm trying to understand your counter here. is it that usg pocketing the last 1/3 of btc is not annoying? or that double-spends are not a problem ? or... what ?
danielpbarron: who would accept a transaction from USG ? and why should I feel sorry for them?
asciilifeform: but i find it interesting that the buggers read the log and eventually learn something
pete_dushenski: all i know is that '21 inc' sure as fuck isn't disrupting my sleep ad libitum.
danielpbarron: the tv box miner must operate at a net loss (i get it the chump bears that cost, but eventually the wealth runs out ie: chump runs out of money)
jurov: but i keep hearing how the grid is in shabby condition
danielpbarron: i don't have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all the bitcoin; the can only spend it once ☟︎
danielpbarron: i thought the point of that essay was that bitcoin is the grand exception -- the cake that can't be taken
danielpbarron: who cares if put to gavincoin; I won't buy them
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i meant, for the prediction of increase
asciilifeform: trinque: i said precisely this, in '13
pete_dushenski: best usb miner i recall was, what, 3 gh/s, maybe 5 gh/s
trinque: well what I'm saying is they do both
asciilifeform: i can even see the cable becoming 'phreee'
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, he isn't even in the new wot
jurov: asciilifeform yes that's what i'm asking.
cazalla: now as much as i love the ol' Vexual, i admit he does like to chat a lot and often makes no sense but by banning him, we now get to enjoy it on a more personal level via pm :P
jurov: *what if I do tolerate?
jurov: "content protection" (from customer, i guess)
jurov: afaik it's so everywhere, nobody does streaming available for own hardware, i have asked ☟︎
pete_dushenski: i just don't seeing it mattering!
trinque: I'd like to think it, of course.
trinque: eh I don't know about that
pete_dushenski: i doubt even 25% of mining profits will cover the electricity costs.
trinque: asciilifeform: I'd expect some broken off appendage of the NSA to accumulate a sizable stash of coin even if the rest of the USG falls apart
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130913 << i wouldn't particularly count on it. ☝︎
danielpbarron: i posted a comment to that freedom to tinker thing a couple days ago; it didn't get approved
jurov: ah, i forget in murica it's impossible to have own roof in few years
asciilifeform: jurov: that's for folks with choices. at the time i would've taken a job filleting the last remaining pandas with knives made from baby bones
jurov: well, it's more common than you think. had i myself not been here, i'd be easily swayed for an "opportunity to change things"
asciilifeform: what kind of pill was used - i do not know.
asciilifeform: re: l0ltr0n1cs: today i found out that ed felten (formerly 'freedom to tinker' blog, lawsuits against riaa, etc.) has been a usg stooge for several years now. ☟︎
kakobrekla: i don't see a reason why not. ☟︎
trinque: eh I don't know about "deserve"
trinque: "The president called Saudi Arabia a critical partner in the fight against Islamic State militants." << yes, I suppose making sure ISIS exists is critical to the fight against ISIS.
trinque: jurov: I'm going with laugh
chetty: fair is the one word I might agree should be banned
mircea_popescu: lol jgarzik has a point. the difference between krugman and kaminska is slight at best. i'm not even sure what exactly it would be, specifically.
lobbes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130301 << wai wat? wow, first taxes on deposits and now this? I'm learning new sad facts about Australia everyday ☝︎
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway, this entire "send kids to oxbridge" meme is very novel, and it comes off the same trunk that made the "buy uk football teams". << i've always planned to hire tutors.
trinque: because then I could control something connected to a computer remotely, and be sure that the machine controlling it was only accepting data from me
trinque: I was thinking you could connect two systems this way and still consider them gapped
trinque: I was wondering if I'd run across yet another thing that'd been done far earlier than I thought.
mircea_popescu: "Like so many, I planned to do many things with this. But I never had the time. Now I don't have the ideas, either."
mircea_popescu: they mostly go to fuck the stupid anglo bitches, from what i can tell.
mircea_popescu: then again, i don't know that many ru kids, and so... might just be my narrow viewpoint
mircea_popescu: the only ru kids i know that actually go for the entire western fucktardation are kids who got overeducated by mistake, but definitely have no chance in hell of ever sitting at the table.
Flerb_: Whatever happened to ASICminer, they were around when I last looked at bitcoin stuff.
mircea_popescu: the aspies do it, of course, but they don't matter from what i've seen.
mircea_popescu: no actual elite kids i met did that.
mircea_popescu: i mean once they make their own.
asciilifeform: exquisitely lulzy. i'd translate if had time.
prince_nbingo: Dear Sir, can you please tell me where to acquire the bitcoin asses? I have a business proposal for you. I will present you as the beneficiary, and i will prepare all the legal documents and present to the bank on your behalf and the bank will then release and transfer the funds to your designated account. Please to be telling about where are the bitcoin asses, I need bitcoin asses.
asciilifeform: i'm not certain why he is in an anthill to begin with
mircea_popescu: i kinda use aws as i use xerorx
copypaste: I can't handle tihs.
copypaste: I'm supposed to trust these twerps with anything?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130511 << i concur. fluffsy is STILL stubbornly not showing it off here, so i figure i'll give it moar time ☝︎
fluffypony: lol I know
copypaste: i wonder if anyone would even buy a PoS cryptonote coin
copypaste: I have 600XMR. Only altcoin I've ever bought
fluffypony: [09:31:28] <+cazalla>i'd stop drinking but then i'd need another vice <- like Miami?
cazalla: copypaste, hope that wasn't you i just ate in agario :P 8ch
cazalla: tbh i only lurk 8ch besides the occasional shit post so if you've answered AMA type shit before, i'll go have a google
copypaste: i actually originally got into bitcoin when i heard you could buy pain pills with it. never got any pills, only ended up with lousy Bitcoins ;)
copypaste: i know of a lot of old people with the same condition from a Faecesbook group
cazalla: i'd stop drinking but then i'd need another vice
cazalla: BingoBoingo, as much as i hate ciggs, the drinking is prob worse
cazalla: copypaste, oceanic servers are generally ok from australia, i'd say lag is around 100-150ms
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Nah, I drink and smoke. A decade sounds reasonable.
BingoBoingo: Gotta preak the metacarpals a bit to get them to heal stronger. Pole seems like an ideal target. As long as I don't break any bones all the way.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: 11 year plan. 29 now figure 40 I'll be ready to risk death in a ring
cazalla: i use to box ya know, and kick box
mircea_popescu: "To our son, his excellency, Mr Barack Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son. Your picture will not be changed."
mircea_popescu: i don't believe in talking privately to people i don't personally know.
mircea_popescu: i usually just tell them to show up here.
copypaste: Gawker also contacted me. I sent them the same rules and never heard back. lmao
