chalbersma: Not sure to be honest. I'm
a Sys Admin by day so it seemed natural to bring those skills to bitcoin as I started to get into it.
decimation: or string sufficiently invisible wire in
a tree
decimation: although
a salt marsh would make an ideal ground plane
BingoBoingo: decimation: Then you dig your lake
a better hole and insert pipes for "irrigation"
mircea_popescu: chalbersma i see. well okay, so do you see yourself running
a bunch of pools in the future ? or what ?
mircea_popescu: decimation well in exchange you get to not have
a pole around
chalbersma: Almost dead now. I was quite interested in it. Was permanent storage in
a blockchain. Never really valuable but an interesting concept.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Meant bunkers, I would love
a studio apartment under the pasture
decimation: well individually nobody (it's
a roundoff error in the total 'fees' required to transact us real estate) , but spread over thousands of transactions you have
a 'special interest'
BingoBoingo: HOA's are
a scam because most of them ban unkers
decimation: also many states/counties charge
a high fee to reproduce the official deeds with covenants
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, I have
a domain name
decimation: they charge several hundred $usd to provide the 'paperwork' needed to sell
a house with covenants
decimation: re: hoa << it's
a scam that's also perpetrated by the 'property management' industry
chalbersma: Or potentially host it off someones home connection for
a smaller fee.
chalbersma: Depending on the size of the atc blockchain you may be able to host it on
a VPS cheaper.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma ok so, part of the problem here is that the entire market cap of atc is about what it'd cost to get
a server colo'd.
mircea_popescu: KRS-1 well so the guy has broadly speaking
a point. otherwise he's much too blund and sorely uneducated/uninformed to make much of it.
KRS-1: I've got to admit the author has an edge and I find
a lot of his writing pretty good.
mircea_popescu: "Gentlemen, being
a man is great. You get to use your muscles to pick up heavy things, you get to use your dick to fuck things, and you get to use your brain to think and create things. It’s no wonder feminist’s hate men – they desperately want what we have but they can never have it. But how the heck have they convinced MEN that being
a man is bad or evil?" << ah come on, women can't lift things ? wtf.
chalbersma: ATM the RSM p2pool has
a private IP in the DC but we're working on getting it
a public one. When the request comes back you'd be able to log into the public stats page and check it out.
mike_c: RagnarDanneskjol: did you mention awhile ago that you were involved with
a new ATC block explorer? or did I make that up in
a dream?
chalbersma: Ya but I needed someone to "show me the ropes" so to speak. I'm sure I could have done it myself but this gave me
a structured way to start.
chalbersma: Ya he has an opinion about you but then again he's
a bit hotheaded and has opinions about
a lot of people. But he gave me my first break in bitcoin so...
mircea_popescu: anyway, so you setup
a private p2poolk for rsm. anything non private / i can verify ?
RagnarDanneskjol: he's
a nice southern gentleman who wanted to work in crypto and just happened to live in close proximity to them
TheNewDeal: for
a second I thought he operated
a pool for richard stallman...
RagnarDanneskjol: he's
a candidate who came to me, i interviewed
a few times and deemed worthy of such an undertaking
BingoBoingo: chalbersma: Given the first name Meni... Can you offer
a last name and
a list of transgressions?
chalbersma: Yes I run one for RSM an internal P2pool node for bitcoin with
a few alts merge mined.
mircea_popescu: X-Rob speaking of ppl can't math : "Basically, by specifying the price to such
a huge place, it gives an advantage because it takes
a smaller price change to win."
mircea_popescu: chalbersma well, atc is this direct btc clone. it currenlty has not much of
a usable pool.
X-Rob: Ah. That's
a different question. BEcause people can't math.
BingoBoingo: Well
a problem with the Coinminer p2pool was they never fucking responded to inquiries
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: nothing's really wrong with p2pool in bitcoin, as it has
a decent block time
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2014 11:38:13; mircea_popescu: <RagnarDanneskjol> I know more than
a few highly competent pool hosts if this one proves unreliable << so hook something up
TheNewDeal: they play
a tournament at the end of the year now
mircea_popescu: well so
a) word it better ; b) obscure sports bets 2 btc as per whenever i announced this.
mircea_popescu: Badgers (NCAAF) to finish 9 games with 2 losses (or more) <<< ie, if they have 5 losses, it's
a yes.
BingoBoingo: Wisconsin doesn't exactly have
a challenging schedule
TheNewDeal: sports wasn't the issue. No bets being placed on soccer, while creating 50 bets was
a issue
TheNewDeal: ok kind of pissed here. submitted
a good wager with 1.6 btc zeroconf, doesn't get accepted. somebody makes
a shitty bet about 4chan and posts .09 btc and it gets accepted?
assbot: When adopting African kids with AIDS becomes mandatory, urinate in public. As
a sex offender you're not allowed near children. /hashtag/lifehacks?src=hash
gribble: Error: "tickler" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: now im asked to credit that whether you do this for purely aesthetic reasons or otherwise makes
a difference.
BingoBoingo: I live atm next to
a fucking race track. have slept through races
BingoBoingo: Eh, some weeks I'll sleep 3 hours. Others I'll sleep 12
a day.
mircea_popescu: i dun credit this. you kill
a guy, you've killed some guy. there's no "i had to kill him", is there ? there's no "i had to eat this icecream". you eat it, you get fat, you don't, you don't.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> irregular schedule because you don't feel like sleeping in
a given week is rather different from because phone rings and you have to get in
a wheeled coffin because otherwise starve. << I prefer to think of my car as an ablative Iron Man suit that protects me from exertion and damage at high speeds
BingoBoingo: What is
a schedule and does it self lubricate?
BingoBoingo: Yeah, amazing how whining about shit is
a pest past time.
mircea_popescu: "She even managed to gracefully handle the incessant "point of order" type questioning from the one guy in the back, who always has to ask
a stream of arcane academic questions that are irrelevant to anyone living in the real world."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That was
a false alarm on the reporter, confused him with
a nearly indistinguishable reporter for Conde Nast

A Statue Of Satan With
A Huge Erection Has Appeared In Vancouver For Some Reason
gribble: Error: "ticker--market" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: "Best part of that bet: The "scams" link lists the highest volume USD (Bitfinex) exchange as
a scam AND it lists Coinbase as
a scam."
mircea_popescu: "Why not addressing one of the several elephants in the room? Why is 90% of their revenue from recruiting new investonomers? Why is the exchange owner taking such
a huge role in "educating" his "investors"? Why is every single company co-owned by the exchange owner?"
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of
a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates << there's no possible significance to keynesians anymore. they're
a cult by now, like the collodial silver derps.
The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of
a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates
BingoBoingo: If mitochondria are some separate symiote we just depend on, there may be
a way do
a replacement
HeySteve: yeah someone linked me to
a good generic one, will use that with gpg sigs
The20YearIRCloud: I'll have to dig it up, but there's
a few altcoin or places that say they can sign contracts via blockchain
thestringpuller: re: health. pharma corps suppress
a lot of research to increase profits it seems.
HeySteve: great, even better if you have
a link
HeySteve: hello, was wondering if
a prepared NDA exists which can be cryptographically signed?
rithm: i'm in good health, i've never broken
a bone or had any type of major surgery
truffles: i tried to arrange that chess match with nubbins
a while back kinda difficult to do when not in same room..
mircea_popescu: this is usually obvious in computer game design. if there's
a warrior,
a mage and an archer, having them all "equally powerful" defeats the point of having 3 of them. having them "differently powerful" often reduces to the former.
mircea_popescu: have
a pedo state, send all pedos there, have
a 1950s household, send all 1950s types to utah, and so on and so forth
chetty: mircea_popescu, well it used to be like that nayway, these days it can be
a choice
diametric: bakers aren't afforded the luxury of
a special status
