davout: asciilifeform:

nubbins`: and he says "maybe
i'll see you at <event
i'm attending on facebook> tomorrow at 8pm...

mircea_popescu: <MirceaPopescu> and
i feel it's mine to point out to you that you're the [unthinking] representative of everything that's wrong with the world generally, and United Stupid particularly.
mircea_popescu: <gurlwest> its possible but there is such a thing as responsibility, and
i feel its mine to point out that Zyklon B is highly offensive and brings this place into disrepute
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : some guy named zyklon_b joins some chatroom, buncha derps throw a fit,
i tell em to stfu, which results in private messaging and ragequits :
lobbes: phillipsjk: Need a day-job to keep hosting a Bitcoin node though << try out lowendbox.com.
I'm planning on following the advice given here and start a node running some version of debian
pete_dushenski: anyways gang,
i'm off. don't wear out those keyboards while
i'm gone!
TheNewDeal:
I am just imaginging advertisements on the TV, similar to those during political season in usia, with some phony from the Bitcoin Foundation and a sign "10gb blocks in 2016"
phillipsjk:
I was paying $109.10 for commercial access. (300GB cap)
phillipsjk: If
I us web-hosting
I get 5TB/month for $80 or so
pete_dushenski: phillipsjk: lol now you have me curious where you wash dishes.
i can always go for a good meal on clean dinnerware
phillipsjk:
I may have confused MP with somebody else in that post. (MP is apparently not a coder)
phillipsjk: By 'we'
I meant the reddit and Bitcointalk 'tards of course.
pete_dushenski:
i experienced the same 30 min ddos thing while fiddling with new irc clients
phillipsjk:
I am considering hooking up a packet sniffer nextime it happens.
phillipsjk:
I wonder if just joining this channel gets me on the hit-list.
phillipsjk:
I am not even running a bitcoin node. (only Friecoin) on this connection.
phillipsjk: Hi,
I am James Phillips, dishwasher from Canada.
phillipsjk: Have people been experiencing DDOS attacks?
I have the sketchiest data, but suspect 1.2Gbps on saturday and larger today
mircea_popescu: Adlai: in case it fell between the cracks -
i'm always interested in 'alpha testers', especially if they see it as a service rather than a freebie that a sucker on irc will walk them through for his own warm fuzzies << heh the problem of "contests" and "giveaways" etc.
thestringpuller: hanbot: "Lets be nice as possible to the girl and maybe she'll touch me even though
I'm an awkward neck beard who needs more rejection"
mircea_popescu:
i love how "awesome" has come to mean "
i think we're not paying these dudes enough". originally teh various journalist herdsmen thought they were being oh so clever
davout: lol no
i just made that up
trinque: dunno what mossberg's doing now; the event
I'm recalling is... All Things Digital maybe? Zuck nearly had a panic attack responding to softball questions.
trinque: mircea_popescu:
I'm sure there's some shartup out there going by Hoodie
mircea_popescu: trinque for a minute there
i thought hoodie is an actual vc "company"
davout: hanbot:
i agree, the rectangles have merely made shy people more visible where shyness doesn't actually matter
mircea_popescu: "
I'm certain he has no actual experience with that topic, unless you count webcam sessions with the working ladies over at girls gone bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: scalpl's irrelevant in this discussion, people don't care about it, people just care "
i'm investing with adlai and he keeps the thing going"
davout:
i already love this reddit thread
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin's thought-leader hangs out with people who pay underage girls for sex?" wut exactly is this ?
i don't hang out with reddit...
jurov: dunno why
i do such crazy stuff. but works so far
jurov: it's okay. today
i was marrying hdd and ssd in btrfs raid
Adlai: 'want' is a strong word.
i'm suggesting it as a possibility, to an intrepid [General] Manager
Apocalyptic:
I don't know there is such a thing as "ethical spying", the whole formula must be a joke
Adlai: also,
i'm not yet a Serenissima Accreddited™ Investor, and that kind of coin isn't exactly burning holes in my wallet; so if this is to happen before the next major fiat devaluation...
Adlai: in case it fell between the cracks -
i'm always interested in 'alpha testers', especially if they see it as a service rather than a freebie that a sucker on irc will walk them through for his own warm fuzzies
Adlai: danielpbarron: '
i choose my words carefully, and
i never repeat myself' ?
davout:
i see it as a problem in the sense that they're not really fungible
davout: the problem
i see is that each (financier, exchange) pair represents basically a different bond
danielpbarron: Adlai> also, for my own psychological reasons at this phase in my life,
i'd rather get a carpenter's salary << probably not the best metaphor
davout:
i issue 100 bonds with a 1 BTC face value
davout: say there is an account on paymium with 100 BTC in it which
i deposited
Adlai:
i guess you don't even need shares if it's bonded in this manner, it can just be a bond directly between the exchange owner and depositors
Adlai:
i'm not certain how you'd handle that technically, because you want deposits to reach exchange accounts, in various proportions; do you have bond-buyers deposit directly into the exchange accounts, and the financier submits to the exchange signed statements of bond deposits to issue shares?
davout: unless
i'm mistaken equity would be irrelevant if you structure that as a bond, amirite
Adlai: also, for my own psychological reasons at this phase in my life,
i'd rather get a carpenter's salary than equity in the furniture shop
Adlai: the most
i'd ever have control of is api keys with trade permission, but not withdrawal permission; and it could easily be arranged that
i never touch api keys myself, just deliver code or service an app taken offline, with api keys expunged from its server.
Adlai:
i'd rather the accounts belong to the financier(s). they lend reputation - people trust them not to run off more than they'd trust me, and they lend their credibility to account statements. my role would be setting up scalpl, possibly maintenance, analysis, development - but on a case by case basis, as seen fit by the financier(s) and/or shareholders
Adlai: that's one constellation, but not the one
i'd prefer
mike_c: yes,
i saw that. so what's the idea?
Adlai: yeah it doesn't make much sense because it's a stupid pursuit,
i'm hunting out floating point arithmetic now that scalpl needs to quack a little less like a prototype
mircea_popescu: "
i should spend my time finding grass rather than fish".
Adlai: either way,
i really oughtta spend my time chasing floats instead of ec points
Adlai:
i wasn't bringing this up as "look at coinbase, they're doing something!", but as "maybe
i can help your thing do its stuff better" (setting aside the bit about deedbot doubling as a faucet, which works fine in the current method)
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2015 07:42:06; Adlai: who said anything about people riding?
i'm not talking about people,
i'm talking solely about the idea. if you want some reputation to associate with the idea, shoot the messenger.
assbot:
I will be going to Africa this summer to introduce bitcoin to airline services, hotel services and much much more!
I will also be hosting a blog soon so
I can update on the progress made! Hey who knows
I might start an african bitcoin foundation while
I am there : Bitcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/15zN22s )
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
i just spent today listening to "
i did it my way" and thinking frankie was basically me.
mircea_popescu:
i guess
i should add "culture" to the list of things bitcoin is disrupting.
Adlai: who said anything about people riding?
i'm not talking about people,
i'm talking solely about the idea. if you want some reputation to associate with the idea, shoot the messenger.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i simply don't care what some derps not in the wot think they have to say.
mircea_popescu: it's not how to do deeds efficiently, it's how to include people you don't know.
i am not interested.
trinque: #btcd tells me
I'll eventually be able to query address balance with just btcd and btcctl... seems like keeping its own count is fine, no?
trinque: btw
I am also undata, likely will use this handle from now on
mats: anyway such apps are where the college chicks go, so
i follow
hanbot:
i mean...
i guess if you're very shy, uninterested in changing that, and also interested in fucking other shy people adverse to change, it'd be great, but...really?
hanbot: and btw mats re that tinder thing:
i remember several years ago reading about some similar jazz (a special watch iirc) in japan for people too timid to meet others on their own
