X-Rob: I have found a couple of blocks for solo miners.
decimation: I guess if you rent enough solo-mine capacity it becomes a casino game
X-Rob: and I idle against p2pool, too, which is almost always at 105% luck
decimation: The mind reels. I guess people are willing to pay a premium for virgin coin?
X-Rob: I normally aim for 10% above theoretical
X-Rob: decimation: yes. always. But that's because I provide a guaranteed hashrate, and I know what I'm doing.
X-Rob: And I need to find out why the big one is slow.
X-Rob: Rig is currently leased for another 15 hours - http://i.imgur.com/ROf8FAl.png
ThickAsThieves: once again, i'm useless
X-Rob: mircea_popescu:1xrobauEmhLwVnTmLbs6M92n1xGFAFbgq is my address, and you're comitting to pay to that address .22BTC per week for 9 weeks, for a total of 1.98BTC. First payment will be within 24 hours, and then every 7 days after that. If you miss a payment, the deal is void, and I'll feel really annoyed, as I'm leasing below cost now, to average the price.
ThickAsThieves: i'll chip in if the ATC end up somewhere agreeable
mircea_popescu: well you made a broken scamcoin i'm stuck rescuing >.<
mircea_popescu: ok, so start tomorrow or w/e it expires, BingoBoingo gives you details, i'll pay you in advance for first week
ThickAsThieves: it wasnt even a normal human life, i just kinda needed to shut out even more of the world for a bit
ThickAsThieves: i have sinned, not read logs for like 5 days
mircea_popescu: they just mostly failed a round of looking for moneyz i hear.
ThickAsThieves: by exchange, i mean websites, not localb
ThickAsThieves: i was thinking about how bitcoin exchange scam stories will never end really
TheNewDeal: I'm confused though, I would figure there would be a discount on cash
RagnarDanneskjol: I have a good relationship with these guys, they tend to offer me descent rayes to buy or sell: http://comps.biz
weex: been a while since i was rated for anything
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal that's the situation universally. i keep getting offered in excess of 110% by ppl looking to buy.
ThickAsThieves: too bad i live in fl, sounds like a good living
RagnarDanneskjol: sure, I'm always buyin too
ThickAsThieves: no surprise, only topical i guess
RagnarDanneskjol: yep. i stopped using them over a year ago, am just fine paying street xchange fees whenever I ned usd now. Fortunately, in SoCal, I can spend btc all over the place, rarely need to convert anymore
mircea_popescu: i dunno why the surpriose, it was never the case that coinbase was respected or respectable.
RagnarDanneskjol: yep, still doin it on the regular or so I've been told by 'inside sources'
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, they are going in the wrong direction if they wanna live though
TheNewDeal: i've heard of them doing that approx 1 year ago, have they been caught doing it again recently?
ThickAsThieves: i just mean knowing what price youre paying is important
dignork: Oh, you probably mean express/immediate whatever they call it buy, i nerver managed to set it up, so it always was few days for me.
dignork: i have multiple pending buys, all scheduled for +6 days from the time of purchase, never followed if they actually keep the schedule though.
ThickAsThieves: dignork last i heard coinbase said all buys will be Fri market buys
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm back
TheNewDeal: i'd think a slight reduction is the most one could ask
bitmia: I'm not, it's for the future :)
bitmia: mircea_popescu: thanks, I've actually read your post. however it still isn't clear if it'd get listed if you personally don't like the idea or consider the business venture to be pointless
ThickAsThieves: is it a good or bad thing that you can now threaten customer service "If you don't fix this, I'll start a Reddit riot."
ThickAsThieves: i leave for one week!
danielpbarron: i think it's too simple for me to lay any claim
cazalla: danielpbarron, i borrowed your html, hope that's ok
cazalla: mircea_popescu, here are mine https://www.dropbox.com/s/eu4vcgv706cgr6l/cazalla_forum_posts.html apologies for dropbox link, i was going to setup my own site but apache2 has changed since last time i used it and i haven't figured it out yet
danielpbarron: i've also been keeping track of it on twitter http://twitter.com/hashtag/DerpReport
TheNewDeal: or perhaps I just didn't understand what wavelength was
TheNewDeal: i just couldn't think of the word
mircea_popescu: no, i expect anyone to know what wavelength is.
TheNewDeal: i'm only half muggle
X-Rob: I used to be an amateur radio operator, a long time ago. VK2JGY. Often hanging aroud on 6 meters (50MHz) and 2 meters (144MHz)
mircea_popescu: this is pretty cool and something long entertained here. i suspect decimation's gonna be all over you, among others :D
X-Rob: I'll give you one guess 8)
X-Rob: I use it because people take our open source webapp, make piles of modifications, and then don't give the changes back
mircea_popescu: ah i recall, the thing they did to ruin the possibility of os game servers.
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall what afero says
X-Rob: Anyway, that code I pasted is AGPL3, but I'm thinking I may re-publish it as MIT or something, as it's hard for people to do GPG correctly without knowing a pile of behind the scenes stuff
mircea_popescu: i agree.
mircea_popescu: o i c.
X-Rob: and I'm xrobau everywhere APART from IRC, so it hasn't bothered me that much
X-Rob: re x-rob/xrobau in gribble - I lost the GPG key for 'x-rob', and haven't really had the enthusiasm to try to get the account deleted so I can recreate it.
mircea_popescu: i c.
X-Rob: Anyway, all I was sayin was what I messaged you - I saw you mention GPG, and I wrote an abstraction layer for it.
X-Rob: I'm xrobau
mircea_popescu: i have nfi yet.
BingoBoingo: I sent an email yesterday, suppose I might send another
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ah, i see. ask the guy to come over ?
ben_vulpes: Imagine reading about a Russian element on Wikipedia, and at the end there’s this paragraph saying “By the way, this element inverts gravity and has to be tied to the ground to prevent it from falling upwards”. An anxiolytic stimulant is really really cool. But somehow generations of American psychopharmacologists must have read about bromantane and thought “No, I don’t think I’ll pay any more attention to that.” <<
punkman: "Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people "I offer you a good time," Hitler has said to them “I offer you struggle, danger and death,” and flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war."
ben_vulpes: maybe i'll get to it this week
ben_vulpes: i honestly dont even know what that domain's pointed at.
RagnarDanneskjol: I've been getting Bandwidth Limit Exceeded when I try to read your blog lately fyi
RagnarDanneskjol: I drive, but prolly shouldn't
RagnarDanneskjol: it does, but I'm blind
RagnarDanneskjol: yea, I thought I posted that and a bunch of related content earlier today when they were discussing, then come to realize I had no voice, was talking to myself. Carried on chatting with myself for about 45 mins until I realized noone could hear me
RagnarDanneskjol: yes, i've been following that one for a while, seems to be the most useful implementation
ben_vulpes: "All I did was load the blocks from disk into memory; which wasn't really accomplishing much."
ben_vulpes: RagnarDanneskjol: "My machine parses this entire data set in roughly 95 seconds." i took a crack at a big-boy-pants parser one time, made all the wrong decisions, hated life. good to see some progress made on the front.
RagnarDanneskjol: i'll drink to that
punkman: kdomanski: I've had mouse/wifi/etc be audible. Had to move the speakers to different outlet.
punkman: I miss that degauss button
punkman: I got no fuckin clue here
punkman: ok so I power cycle the thing repeatedly, blue tint goes away, then I move the mouse and it comes back
fluffypony: I'm here
RagnarDanneskjol: happened to me before - think I had to reset colors on graphx card. first try unplugging or wiggling around cables
ben_vulpes: http://i.imgur.com/d9VTCQP.jpg
mod6: ;;later tell moiety I have some changes to the wiki you might be able to help me with. Ping me when you get a chance. Thanks!
dignork: mircea_popescu: I ran it this way to play with the technology, economical/game theory considerations are not so important for me on alt.
RagnarDanneskjol: i know these guys host/build stratum pools as described: http://www.livechains.net/
mircea_popescu: dignork honestly i think i'd rather use a pool. get some of that reaganomics trickle down effect going.
dignork: BingoBoingo was askin about stratum: i have a simple setup with local altcoind and https://github.com/pocesar/node-stratum
mircea_popescu: i was thinking of gving you a pool to point at and forgetting about it.
mircea_popescu: but i dun wanna ;/
X-Rob: I'll set it up with you them
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I'll be home in about 4 hours or so
mircea_popescu: so since i like you now, you can have 2 btc for the 2 month aus3 miner contract.
X-Rob: I've been here
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i considered it but it'd kinda make it only 1 guy.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck and also there's no cruft, perfectly standard tx, can use any webwallet, it's perfect. look no further, this is what i want.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck actually i like the model whereby the actual string to certify is hashed as a privkey then made into a bitcoin address then have a little something sent there
MolokoDeck: ok. I'll keep looking into it. solutions exist.
MolokoDeck: I'd have to look more into how the stack language handles that or whether that's even doable with the restricted opcode set.
