williamdunne: trinque: Oh like
a stack of rPis in
a server enclosure?
trinque: williamdunne: I tend to think there's
a place for metal as cheap as
a micro ec2 instance for example
trinque: and from that screen
a number key will let you jump to
a result
trinque: I once worked for
a company that was early (first?) in the server blade space; something like that where there's
a uniform backplane which can host different configurations, maybe
trinque: what I'd love to see someday is
a DC with no virtualization, just tinier boxes
☟︎ mod6: i guess this is just my first attempt at it. this build of gentoo needs to built with nothing extra so we can build all of the rest by hand, then we'll have
a clue as to what tool chain it's using and it's not using something wacky behind our backs.
trinque: rules out
a class of problems I guess, but certainly should still be considered enemy territory
mod6: yeah, not on this machine. i'll probably end up creating
a totally seperate 32bit instance at another time.
trinque: mod6: I tend to use the hardened profile along with
a hardened kernel
mod6: trinque: going throught this 'building
a gentoo ami' guide... any thoughts on the "Select system profile" section? I was about to pick #11...
williamdunne: While comparisons between bitcoin and
a party fully of popped-collars are fine it doesn't really answer the question
williamdunne: I guess what missing from it is that I still don't see why the increase in block-size, or easier access to running
a semi-node is inherently bad
ben_vulpes: the point is
a constrasting of how people use keys (properly) and how people use trezors (improperly)
williamdunne: I personally I have
a disdain for compliance of any sort
mircea_popescu: and whence is mimex to get OTHER opinions from ? you got
a coo ?
williamdunne: I think I covered the WoT
a bit (well, GPG contracts) in 'Your reputation is
a commodity'
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why this is the case, seeing how on the plain consideration immutability is
a very retarded concept,
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes there's
a wider point here btw : the internet has been slowly evolving towards immutability. this trend is visible high and low - curtis yarvin's attempt to "remake bitcoin in his own yard" did not miss this point, the general response of the fetlife cattle to the meatlist is
a very sound "internet is immutable", the wind is there.
ben_vulpes: are you making
a reference to the bible translation?
ben_vulpes: like some derpy nodejs program that got locked on
a single queue
mircea_popescu: "endless cycles of printing that necessitates will do all that is necessary to turn
a single Bitcoin into
a nuclear sub." << is necessarily going to ?

assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mthreat from 1 to 2 with note: shared
a cab with this pleasant chap one time.
ben_vulpes: !rate mthreat 2 shared
a cab with this pleasant chap one time.
mircea_popescu: depends present day of what. but yes, financially, it's more of
a promise-to-impact, since the shanghai thing
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "and the Bitcoin ramp to 1200 proved to be an artifact of
a fractional-reserve exchange, for just two examples." << this doesn't make sense, because the exchange was fractional in btc not in fiat.
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for pinkposixpxe from 1 to 1 with note: lent
a hand with some bash.
ben_vulpes: !rate pinkposixpxe 1 lent
a hand with some bash.
☟︎ assbot: Successfully updated the rating for princessnell from 2 to 1 with note: coulda been
a contender.
williamdunne: I've already been blocked from Max Keisers twitter, seems like I should be proud of it - I don't even remember sending
a tweet to him
ben_vulpes: !rate princessnell 1 coulda been
a contender.
ben_vulpes: ! rate princessnell 1 coulda been
a contender.
williamdunne: I feel bad, because the person he's doing the 'fund' with is actually
a decent guy. Been dragged in with his shit
williamdunne: Max Keiser has started
a new 'Crypto Fund' and somehow it has managed to $-2000 overnight
mircea_popescu: williamdunne but they have been dutifully banning their users (for saying anything but "this guy is horribru" and "what
a violation!"). from what i hear the bancount's climbing well past 100 by now
assbot: The Bitlove LLC spin on their recent implosion, as presented to their captive audience. on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Surely
a lot of the costs can be massively reduced now? Wasn't exactly much automation in the 15th century
mircea_popescu: well... it's not
a hospital yet, is it ? at some point you actually need some people who can cure people.
mircea_popescu: you know, think in the more accessible terms of
a hospital.
mircea_popescu: in any case the actual costs to running
a bank aren't in getting the certificate. you gotta have the damned bank.
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from 3 to 4 with note: throws
a hell of
a party.
ben_vulpes: !rate mircea_popescu 4 throws
a hell of
a party.
menahem: lol, glad I asked. always
a deeper layer to what you say. ;)
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for jurov from 4 to 3 with note: several collaborations, never
a hitch.
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: new york trust company not quite
a bank, much lower cost
ben_vulpes: !rate jurov 3 several collaborations, never
a hitch.
williamdunne: Thats supposedly the cost of running
a bank pre-launch of your product
williamdunne: Pretty much. What do you think of ItBit trying to become
a bank? To me it looks like they failed to create an exchange people want to use and now they're trying to diversify
trinque: the market needs more bitcoin businesses worth
a shit
ben_vulpes: lol and there's
a guy going by goat in the trollbox
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: moreover, if you'd not trust
a bitcent on them, they're not really 'actual'. finance runs on trust. no trust, not finance.
williamdunne: Well if you believe the numbers, the volume is pretty huge. I believe it probably is still pretty big but wouldn't trust
a bitcent on them (unlike MPOE of course)
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: like
a) how would we know if volume is what they say it is (who the fuck is operating them anyways), and b) is it oom comparable to mpoe?
mircea_popescu: He'll do
a little dance, take you home tonight. Leave his wallet alone, but you can kiss his node...
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin girl, you're outa sight, you need
a bitcoin boy, to treat you right.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes shut up hater! there'sd even
a bitcoin literature!
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I'll draw up
a full spec and be sure that I can do it (in terms of time) and show that to you. Good starting point?
williamdunne: Okay, so MPEX route or just as
a small private product
williamdunne: I guess that depends on how we wanted to do it and the full scope - could be
a big or small job. What would be the end goal? Listing on MPEX and running it continuously or building the site and palming it off to someone else
