ninjashogun: I thnk a bunch of companies "suck" and are "idiots". I hate paypal and wish it would die. But I don't actually SAY that, or actually SAY they're incompetent.
praeconium: Random Walk is there, I don't look into getting model right :) I just want to implement my ideas.
BCB: mircea_popescu: I don't think you'll have a choice in the matter.
mircea_popescu: BCB well cause i don't intend to visit the us till they dissolve the homeland security crap and put the people responsible on trial.
nubbins`: but i don't want that bet
mircea_popescu: "I don't get it. Why do you insist on making everyone think MPOE-PR is not MP? Why deceive your customers with something so trivial to figure out?
mike_c: i don't see the problem. 350 contracts sold over the last 30 days by someone who didn't understand. so they lost .1 btc and now they understand.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so i don't cap it. you come to make a contract, have to deposit infinity btc.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Or we don't even send the check and then when they call, we pretend we're the cleaning service. Heh heh. "Hello? I sorry, no here Kruger."
nubbins`: i don't want to have to be constantly checking it
HeySteve: I don't get output
mircea_popescu: i don't believe this works that far.
asciilifeform: i often wonder why u.s. 'feminists' don't parade the most remarkable 'equality' freak show - post-war ussr
bloctoc: actually, I had already clicked, but I don't understand the contract. I was trying to blame my inadequacy completely fabricated internet security problems.
benkay: i don't play twitter myself, but it's neat to see links up there.
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
Neil: I don't think we'll ever see a 25% (perhaps even 20%) difficulty rise again.
benkay: ugh because i don't want that on my shoes
benkay: i don't even believe it
bitmia: benkay: I considered using an irc bot to create profiles for the ones that don't have them yet, but that would mean holding their privkeys for them. beats the purpose sortof
benkay: bitmia: i don't really do mass-market plays.
benkay: for instance, i don't actually want to spend any time around people for whom gpg is challenging to use
blackwhite_: don't worry guys. I won't rob you of your precious knowledge. Someone already answered me.
blackwhite_: you think just because I don't get an answer here I won't have any other options
blackwhite_: no I don't
dexX7: jurov: i don't think so, but i'm surprised, too. http://www.coindesk.com/bitstamp-got-10m-fortress-linked-hedge-fund-last-year-bloomberg/ this is a more detailed article, but still doesn't mention ripple's role. guess they also received a slice of the cake.
ninjashogun: anyway I'd think there's a market for in-between, people (like me) who don't care that much, but would rather not keep a key on a PC
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I don't even mena to "sign" a single document. Just to transmit it. And receive back hte signed version.
ninjashogun: dignork - further I don't have any problem with it in the current form. I think asciilifeform should patent it. I also suggest he work on just one layer of the solution, which is the physical transport layer, and consider bluetooth or wifi.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, by the way don't let the haters take anyting away. All of my suggestoin are at a single layer - and do not in ANY way impact the basic idea you've come up with with mircea_popescu --- which is a VERY good one. I don't really add anything in my suggestoins - it is the same design. You should patent it.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo - I learned of this literally 20 minutes ago. My improvements already have something that can at least theoretically work with an iPad and iPhone, which loads of people do their surfing on in the evening, and certainly don't want to keep keys on.
ninjashogun: I don't think packet sniffing is a problem if you tunnel over it.
asciilifeform: i don't have anything against a man who eats turd. but i will eat, and serve my friends, sausage. not turd.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I don't mean to pick on Romania. For many of my examples I'm really thinking of Hungary, and using it as an analogy.
ninjashogun: I don't know if it's evil or not but it's factually mistaken.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I don't know about the criminals, generally they're not very smart. But I do know about founders and creating something.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, also, if my investors don't know of them, i can't leverage their background to get an investment, either.
ninjashogun: Note that the wireless portion doesn't exist at all. I don't even have a specan (spectrum analyzer). The only eqiupment I developed is with large arduinos, as well as mockups of what it could look like.
ninjashogun: I don't mean to say anything about hte level of ambition you have in your hardware startup but usually a certified lab for developing ours costs $60K, which I am going to do on about $8K in used eBay equipment.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, sorry - I don't get your analogy?
ninjashogun: I don't have the time to take employment, even temporarily. Two months ago I was invited to give a demo with the working prototype as part of closing a $150K investment. I need to finish it.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, because I don't have assets?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, yes, you are quite mistaken in your understanding that I don't like the paying back part.
asciilifeform: am i mistaken in my understanding that you don't like the 'paying back' part ?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I don't know how to turn it into $8.5M. If I did I wouldn't be talking about the next 40 years, would I?
ninjashogun: I don't htink $8.5M is a fortune. if I had that in cash today I wouldn't sit on it, I would do further startups.
ninjashogun: I don't have to be zuck to repay $8.5M. Tens of thousands of people can do it, not just a few hundred billionaires.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand dood, i read in the guardian that the us caught a bunch of russian spies by displaying a dazzling array of technical superiority.
ninjashogun: benkay - as I probably mentioned, ughlol is not "founder material", today, in several senses. He is in India, with a very poor VC network, he is currently a university student who has never run a business, and he does not have a personal network that makes him investable. I don't necessarily suggest investing in him today.
ninjashogun: benkay - no, I don't seek investment here
mircea_popescu: i don't have a very good impression of either.
ughlol: I know im practically nothing, and probably don't even deserve talking to someone like you.
ninjashogun: I'd like you to read through it and apologize. no way would I fabricate this, with timestamps, just for some 'scam'. I also don't know him personally.
jurov: i don'thave a vulture capital access, too and i'm fine
mircea_popescu: i wish some of those "business leaders" or w/e they are actually came forward to plainly state that they don't care, they'll never care, and the peons can get back to the mine.
asciilifeform: yeah i read this even, but i still don't 'get' it. what does the woman want?
lopp: as yeezus noted, we don't really know enough to say whether or not these numbers should be underwhelming. I'm of the opinion that we don't have enough insight into the load that the nodes are bearing.
Dimsler: i don't think it matters
wao-ender: > i don't see how they can make that up from shipping 3-4 tons of mangosteens
asciilifeform: (i personally don't know anyone who does this particular thing, so i can only guess)
diametric: to what end though, i don't really care if people dress up like animals and fuck each other if they want too. I think its weird, but I would not consider myself a better person than they on that alone.
mircea_popescu: i don't know how hard im trolling either, tbh, but i figure it should be somewhere between my penis and a brick wall.
benkay: i don't even php, so i don't know how hard you're trolling right now
mircea_popescu: ya well, i don't personally trust them so i have no use for them on these lines, but in principle what can you do.
mircea_popescu: i don't see that it's such anathema.
Duffer1: they don't make it obvious, but i believe they do, let me check
Hirethestache: My bitcoin lingo is now officially dead in the water. I really need to do more research. You think you know so much until you realize you don't.
Hirethestache: Mircea, I don't have the cold storage addresses stored digitally anywhere
Hirethestache: Oh yeah, I don't have any coins directly on it. I have a small Coinbase account, a small amount on my nexus wallet, and everything else on a paper wallet in a safe
ThickAsThieves: "Agreed. Looks good. But what I don't get is the huge jump to 41,734.95 in total earned BTC.
datz_: ok darn so IRC is too cheeky and suspicious to let me list here. don't say i didn't offer you the opportunity. will just have to stick with my own decentralized exchange :)
datz_: why i don't use IRC or have trust here
datz_: so i don;t trust people on IRC
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I don't see the harm in making it a bit safer, the danger is still present
ThickAsThieves: the excuse will be, I don't wanna have to buy bitcoins to bet against bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and i don't think she really groked the circle thing
moiety: i don't either!
moiety: i don't drink often so i get a bit affected >.>
mircea_popescu: i don't talk privately to nobodies, in general. so he can answer and that's all.
mircea_popescu: or in george's gf's words, "Ha.Ha.Ha. ha...You don't have any money. I make more money than you do. ha. ha. ha. Yeah.. give me the papers I'll sign 'em.( she leaves) a pre-nup..."
mircea_popescu: i suppose ceramic armor plates on tanks don't shoot, either, and so it's immoral to spend military funds on armor plating research and deployment
mircea_popescu: someone did this as power moved from lenin to stalin but i don't recall who the fuck
mircea_popescu: and for that matter it'd be a lot saner if you stuck around for few hours after asking for input on an article in so i don't have to make gribble work overtime
moiety: i don't think Putin seems to care about making pals. Our DC calls him to tell him to calm down every 5 minutes
cads: I just don't want to have to write a feature detector that needs to know about the global geometry at play... maybe I can train a feature detector that just detects the silhouette fingerprint of localized choppiness and other print failures.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete ah i see it's in the footnote. but yeah, the select from a page process is very dubious (natural languages don't have equally distributed words, it's actually how zipf curves were discovered in the first palce)
nubbins`: but i don't really eat bacon
mircea_popescu: i don't need it! i like it! there's a difference!
nubbins`: asciilifeform: for reasons i still don't quite understand
mircea_popescu: tho... i don't suppose they actually are isolated you know ?
Neil: Of course, as a speculator I believe you'd benefit by holding, but I don't begrudge you deciding what to do with your own money. Hopefully vice versa.
blackwhite: well to be honest I am not so much interested in bitcoin as a currency but more as a technology. I don't mine but purely trade my services for bitcoin. So its all good
Neil: blackwhite: I don't know where to start. Maybe start thinking for yourself and stop drinking the logical fallacies?
cads: mircea_popescu: I don't feel it mathematically yet but I feel why we'd like this to hold, economically
BingoBoingo: I mean for the first set you could probably encode information much as RSA does. I don't have enough vodka on hand to speculate if that would be a good idea. Most of Elliptic curve cryptography works on spaces that can be played with in graph theory world though.
cads: i don't see it because regardless of the supposed usefullness, the algorithm still uses 2^k energy.
BingoBoingo: Most male vetrans I've seen drunk enough to spill the dark secrets spill that they didn't kill people. A majority of the women who admit to being in firefights admit to shooting to kill people because they really don't want to carry goat boy to term if the base is over run
lnovy: I don't share that view... homicides are not always coldblooded killing...
mircea_popescu: i guess they don't teach that in self-affirmative-shiteater classes for womenz in tech and other important things huh.
benkay`: i don't even wat
