mircea_popescu: davout afaik it's a pc with memory restraints and valgrind

mircea_popescu: has it even been a full week ?

mircea_popescu: "Bitnplay's failure to launch comes off the back of what can only be described as a disappointing result in an attempt to raise 400 BTC. Offering a total of 200 tokens to investors via CounterParty, Bitnplay managed to sell a grand total of 5, netting them 10 BTC."

mircea_popescu: (that's what the azns call a love hotel, above. and that's a [cheap] whore cafe)

mircea_popescu: punkman: "There’s a distinction between the Internet and IRL for a reason. We are here in IRL, and we have to make judgements in IRL." - Ulbricht's lawyer << did he actually point to the distinction or merely presume it ?

mircea_popescu: seems a lone guy with enough irl acumen to make a corp.

mircea_popescu: cazalla: i think it is interesting to note that qntra has surpassed a competing site, founded in april 2014 << i have never heard of it, but mebbe ask em if they want to join in ?

mircea_popescu: my neck of the woods is a city larger than all of california.

mircea_popescu: mod6: it seems like the growing thought seems to be to get a list of 50300 active nodes and seed those directly into the R.I., or am I misunderstanding that?? << completely misunderstanding that.

mircea_popescu: it's an ideal usecase for the "use ssd until it fries" because the value of running a pogo is in its running. so a pogo that ran for 3.5 years then died, had part replaced and resynced over three weeks then ran for another 3.5 years is a perfectly functional, 99.999% uptime pogo as good as any other.

mircea_popescu: so danielpbarron, if you feel like trying a generous swap on one of the pogos, with the understanding that the ssd disk you put in there will likely fry, please do so, and document the exeriment as well as possible.

mircea_popescu: obviously 250`000 full rewrites of the swap means a decade or more of intense usage, and so, a perfectly economic use of the ssd in question.

mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, my rationale is like this : because a large chunk of fixed data is always present (the actual blockchain), should a 100gb ssd be blessed with a 4gb swap partition, the drive finds itself in the position where the 100gb * 10k (say) writes are available as such : 100gb of them for the actual data, and 100gb * 9999 for the 4gb partition.

mircea_popescu: it MAY be a subtle off-by-one error somewhere in the code.

mircea_popescu: anyway, he can't actually do it. you can;t arrest a president.

mircea_popescu: yeah it was one of the numerous points making a juicy press story

mircea_popescu: a that. yeah.

mircea_popescu: i am a successful online bridge merchant.

mircea_popescu: i make a lot of money selling bridges.

mircea_popescu: in the sense that a nineteen year old with a very messy room is a persistent masturbator, sure.

mircea_popescu: and anyone else a) doesn't hjave the money and b) would just be happy to send you support tickets

mircea_popescu: if you can do it with a toothbrush you could ... restore art, or make your own, or be a surgeon or etc.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cause we don't give a shit ?

mircea_popescu: cazalla can't even be bothered to bet on it. "they'll make a bitcoin's worth of sales the first week, then half a bitcoin the next year and then that's that."

mircea_popescu: "he's a nice enough fellow, if only he were more serious."

mircea_popescu: starts as a joke, which is kinda funny, except haha, only funny, except hm... etc.

mircea_popescu: the butcher, a huge guy with a huge mustache, "don't be afraid, it won't bite"

mircea_popescu: a scrawny jewish real estate agent is going down the street to show a house to a customer. on the way, a large butchery, and in it a huge dog

mircea_popescu: to be on a staaakeee...

mircea_popescu: obviously the offspring of the powerful will do just fine, unless a) the powerful's just a fake elite ;b) the offspring's retarded or c) both.

mircea_popescu: suppose the converse. i have a girl with any of my women, she witnesses the life in a harem geowing up, i tell her all the dirty secrets of the world because i dfon't give a fuck, i encourage her to parade naked in town when she's 16 and so on, and when i die i leave her half a billion in untraceable money.
