mircea_popescu: in other news, http://45.media.tumblr.com/b17b3f105a3bfbf838443492b1974592/tumblr_n34z2zgTth1trf4yko1_500.gif
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that is.
mircea_popescu: i do ?
mircea_popescu: that's somewhat more common.
mircea_popescu: apparently you can also get blue eyed black people, 1 in 5mn or somesuch
mircea_popescu: how would progress progress!
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
mircea_popescu: client user keys.
mircea_popescu: server into leaking client memory to the server, including private
mircea_popescu: code was enabled by default and could be tricked by a malicious
mircea_popescu: The matching server code has never been shipped, but the client
mircea_popescu: contains experimential support for resuming SSH-connections (roaming).
mircea_popescu: SECURITY: ssh(1): The OpenSSH client code between 5.4 and 7.1
mircea_popescu: as bitcoin grows there'll be more stuff to list.
mircea_popescu: eh what's the rush anyway.
mircea_popescu: http://mpex.co/
mircea_popescu: the price was actually lower historically.
mircea_popescu: Atomicat yeah. but there are brokers, such as for instance jurov's coinbr.com that are less onerous.
mircea_popescu: and ugly as fuck, but the hottest fuck in paris. at least if you ask the sluts.
mircea_popescu: and of everyone else.
mircea_popescu: right. napoleon got to be napoleon for two reasons and a spot of luck. the ancient nobility prince here named is one reason, count bernadotte, later king, is the other.
mircea_popescu: you know who the guy was right ?
mircea_popescu: as well as, for completness, http://trilema.com/2013/the-list-of-discontinued-assets-on-mpex/
mircea_popescu: but, illo tempore, http://trilema.com/2013/the-best-investments-in-the-history-of-bitcoin/
mircea_popescu: now, just how profitable and which... that's an open question.
mircea_popescu: iirc mpex assets have been the only profitable sort of bitcoin assets throughout bitcoin's history.
mircea_popescu: something like https://archive.org/details/memoirsoftalleyr02talliala would make a better sample of "what it's like", that dude was loaded.
mircea_popescu: you are aware that's a book, written about "how it is to be rich" by someone who was himself poor ?
mircea_popescu: the other kids in school'd BETTER think his dad's house is cool, or else he stands to lose a lot. so he has a vested interest in having the sluttier chicks in class over by his pool each weekend, that other kids in better situations don't.
mircea_popescu: in a sense they're stuck with them. much like a preppy kid that's stuck with his parents house.
mircea_popescu: "old miners" do what you say in cases such as saudi arabia cutting prices to sink obama's hopes of reindustrializing the us, sure. but note that there's a strong "god-given" element to this : the saudis didn't BUILD those oil deposits.
mircea_popescu: i don't trust jgarzik's ability to correctly account for a business venture, for one thing.
mircea_popescu: but this behaviour is very difficult to model.
mircea_popescu: which is the primary driver for the extreme run-up in hashing we've been experiencing the past coupla years.
mircea_popescu: there IS the implicit fiat short where you finance your mining with [tax deductible] fiat losses, and maintain your profits in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: that there exists no marginal demand created by production increase nor any demand destroyed by production shortages makes the situation quite peculiar.
mircea_popescu: what happens is that the same nominal amount will be distributed to all producers uniformly by lottery, no matter the volume of production.
mircea_popescu: the strange with bitcoin is that mining is ALWAYS a market in which supracapacity exists, for the odd reason that mining is a ~0 demand activity, which is altogether a concept unknown in economy so far.
mircea_popescu: cheers.
mircea_popescu: actually check out this wonder : https://archive.is/9Ao8F#selection-37.331-37.5373
mircea_popescu: " The domestic textile industry operates in a commodity business, competing in a world market in which substantial excess capacity exists." and subsq.

mircea_popescu: link him then thestringpuller ?
mircea_popescu: so... yeah. it isn't nor could it be.
mircea_popescu: you recall the mpoe-pr's buffett quote ?
mircea_popescu: cut right down on the name squatting business.
mircea_popescu: and kakobrekla - how about assbot getting a !seen which returns "timestamp of last successful !v response" ? so as not to have to use gribble's.
mircea_popescu: !seen gribble
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's a thought, in http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/ might be a good idea to hide users not seen in i dunno, a quarter ? a year ? something ? explained, and with link for "full list". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: not in a coupla years.
mircea_popescu: ;;seen evoorhees
mircea_popescu: gavin looks more or less like http://40.media.tumblr.com/8897aa45b63e00398849f8d57ecd11f0/tumblr_mevisnYxfK1ruyqizo1_1280.jpg , which is fitting.
mircea_popescu: "starting" eh.
mircea_popescu: !up DerpUnion
mircea_popescu: !up xiaomorph
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell michail1 you know the later tell thing is public right ?

mircea_popescu: there we go.
mircea_popescu: ;;notes
mircea_popescu: !up gabriel_laddel

mircea_popescu: what the fuck was it
mircea_popescu: ;;later
mircea_popescu: Atomicat no, you need a pgp signature.

mircea_popescu: ;;msg
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell ben_vulpes hey you gotta fix http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/11_bitcoin-assets-new-wot-and-voice-model.html ☟︎
mircea_popescu: uh.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell hey ben_vulpes you gotta fix http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/11_bitcoin-assets-new-wot-and-voice-model.html
mircea_popescu: oh
mircea_popescu: yes but what's wrong with it
mircea_popescu: specifically ?
mircea_popescu: china is actually not in a desert. mongolia sort-of is.
mircea_popescu: Atomicat nah, it forked a year ago over a misunderstanding.
mircea_popescu: but i'll quote this much to you : 你这么牛掰,你怎么不会汉语啊。😁哈哈哈,反正你也不懂,我觉得很有意思!祝你好运哈!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it's complicated.
mircea_popescu: Atomicat register, basically.
mircea_popescu: !rate Atomicat 1 New blood
mircea_popescu: twelve words or less.
mircea_popescu: come to think about it... what would you say to "what is v ?" mod6 ? asciilifeform ? anyone else ?
mircea_popescu: it allows you to build software on the basis of patches signed by people you specifically trust.
mircea_popescu: v is a signature-based versioning system and other things.
mircea_popescu: it does use the same blockchain.
mircea_popescu: brace yourself, while derps derped on tardstalk etc, a LOT of work went on towards actual bitcoin, and so there's a lot of catch up to do.
mircea_popescu: Atomicat you wanna look into V and all that.
mircea_popescu: PeterL this is a public channel. for obvious security reasons trb is a superset thereof.
mircea_popescu: pretty much thinking like a scientist.
mircea_popescu: ha! quite.
mircea_popescu: "the differences, while present, are not yet important"
mircea_popescu: #b-a is short for #bitcoin-assets
mircea_popescu: !up AndChat-63600
mircea_popescu: Atomicat the best avenue for you would be to register in the wot and spend half year or so reading hte logs to get up to speed.
mircea_popescu: !up PeterL
mircea_popescu: (not that pools are such a bright idea in the first place, but sadly this is a dropped ball we can't so far fix)
mircea_popescu: the idea'd be to have an actually compliant pool, for once.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of non-compliant or vaguely compliant mining pools out there.
