ThickAsThieves: it's that i dont see how owning stock would be worth it even if they did
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I did
ThickAsThieves: it's not that i dont think they "might" make gen3 or whatever
fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/o8z44h9.jpg
skinnkavaj: I want to hear what ThickAsThieves has to say
mircea_popescu: i think it's british english.
mircea_popescu: im thinking of opening a vlog and i think that'd be a great first episode.
mircea_popescu: hey skinnkavaj do you see any reason i couldn't fuck michelle obama's daughters on film ?
skinnkavaj: I don't see why they couldn't make better chips than before
ThickAsThieves: pending for 1 year is normal i'm told
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: it could be pending i guess << wait, pending for two years ? heh.
ThickAsThieves: here's how i see it
mircea_popescu: skinnkavaj on the strength of that answer i humbly submit that perhaps you did not actually read the link.
skinnkavaj: mircea_popescu: Read your link, ok so they made some mistakes with exchanges.. But I couldn't care less about that, what matters is that friedcat seems to be a really good asic engineer
ThickAsThieves: i didnt
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Apparently I am a member of the BTCFundnation after all <<< ahahaha epic
ThickAsThieves: i do not believe in AM
skinnkavaj: I love to buy stocks when everyone is selling them ☟︎
ThickAsThieves: leaving the board was automatic once i no longer represented 5000 shares
ThickAsThieves: technically ditching the AM-PTs is what i did
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: "Ken what is your 3 month plan" << i wonder if that counts as mid term or long term.
fluffypony: I had someone accuse OpenRigs of being unethical
ThickAsThieves: it could be pending i guess
ThickAsThieves: i like how they hint at being a nonprofit through the wording in their letters and bylaws
ThickAsThieves: but but i think might need to opt-in first
ThickAsThieves: Apparently I am a member of the BTCFundnation after all
fluffypony: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://i.imgur.com/RXH4FOQ.jpg
davout: bounce: if you're referring to karpy i believe he fattened there
fluffypony: "Tell me what the bitcoin price will be in 3 months and I will tell you."
artifexd: ;;later tell mod6 It looks like pitythepool has the current network hashrate in their json stats. I don't know the source or how it is calculated, but it may be easier for you to grab it from there than calculate it. Less accurate, but easier.
decimation: why can't I "!down" myself in a private query with assbot?
decimation: I suspect that they still make them on big-old dies
decimation: I wonder if a computer made of discrete chips would be more fault-tolerant against cosmic rays, etc
decimation: because bush I guess
princessnell: the dropbox ceo stood his ground i think
decimation: I thought they dropped her after the "controversy"
mircea_popescu: decimation i'm just glad im not the only one aware of the damned thing.
decimation: yeah mircea, I think you can find a parallel in bitcoin :)
asciilifeform: 'but they say i'm mad'
asciilifeform: i actually see a future for machines built of discrete (yes, 74xxx & friends) logic.
asciilifeform: (disk, i/o, display controllers, etc)
decimation: I find the python3 vs python2 "war" amusing
mircea_popescu: no i mean, yes, but that was way back when it still worked sort-of
decimation: well, I think the best explanation is that the defense companies realized they could tell gov't employees what to do (via congress) rather than otherwise
asciilifeform: re: wireless card firmware - i suspect that when someone bothers to audit the blobs - with an eye to searching for creepy crawlies, rather than the customary functionality reverse-eng. - plenty will turn up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose it depends on the books. my backlog contains junk like 'intro to Lie algebras,' etc
mircea_popescu: whgat am i in for, murder ?
asciilifeform: decimation: no headache. just keep paying << i find apple's os just an uncommonly clunky way to run x11 & friends
decimation: if you can sell for less than a macbook I think there is a market there
asciilifeform: i rip them out and replace with cheap ssd (yeah they won't last a decade, but a laptop should be considered expendable anyway)
decimation: yeah it's playing with fire. I wish someone would pick this up and make it a real product: http://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop
decimation: yeah that's true, I have a couple 08-09 laptops. I find they eat spinning platter hard drives for some reason
asciilifeform: i generally think of using a laptop as something to be avoided, if possible.
decimation: yeah this is pretty much the case. From what I can tell, most real engineering work is either done on old windows boxes (for engineering crapware) and Macbooks
decimation: yeah. I linked to this talk awhile back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc Apparenlty Sun literally spent years trying to "legally" offer some kind of open source license
decimation: I heard a theory about this once. In the 90's, most business middle-managment went from being innocent of computers to suddenly owning a winblows box
mircea_popescu: dude, book me already. i have > 500 books i never had the time to read.
TheNewDeal: tim-tams i told you I would sponsor 5$ worth for a middle finger dedicated to the COO of butterfly labs
jurov: i'm just venting that balances on mpex can change at any time without any record shown in STAT
mircea_popescu: wait so what did i do wrong ?
tim-tams: Hey guys, I'm run a Bitcoin website and weekly podcast and we're looking for a sponsor, pm me for more details if you're at all interested
artifexd: It isn't enough for me to be upset about. But I was curious.
artifexd: The amount I deposited doesn't match the amount I was credited. I originally thought the missing amount was the monthly fee because it was on 1 May.
davout: mod6: also i like my gpg-agent running, otherwise i woukdn't, you know, run it :D
mod6: I don't know why I keep forgetting that it's Hang-Up Process not Halt-User-Process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP#SIGHUP
Namworld: Well I'm out for the weekend.
jurov: mircea_popescu: coinbr referral code is fully optional, and i scoop the fees by default, so i don't need one myself :D
Namworld: Maybe he vaguely understands Bitcoin and thinks he's mocking it by being "Look, I'm a kid, I can create money out of thin air too and scam you. See how stupid it is?"
Namworld: >>I came across a idea to make the idea of electronic currency.<<
Namworld: "My name is Ben Fein. I founded Fein Coin with the picture of letting people pay for them the buy gift cards using a mobile app. I came across a idea to make the idea of electronic currency. Enjoy. :)"
davout: i need to delete the internet icon from my computer
davout: joecool: i use 1 with pinentry
pankkake: yeah, it's annoying, I'm using 2. because of thunderbird, but then I can't use it over ssh without changing the pinentry
davout: joecool: wat? when i use it on servers it works fine, and with OSX everything also goes better than expectation, did you try a Ctrl+L to unfuck the term (untested)
joecool: if i try with smartcard it just errors
joecool: but i also have key expiry set, i can't change my key expiry unless i load up gnupg with my offline copy and change it there
fluffypony: I leave you with this: http://i.imgur.com/SmyTVno.jpg
joecool: i use openpgp smartcards, i don't keep my keys on any other form of storage other than my master key which is kept encrypted on an offline archive disk (this is so i can mint new openpgp smartcards if necessary)
fluffypony: k I'm out, night
benkay: i'm just derpy and didn't know about the multiple recipient procedure mircea_popescu
pankkake: yes, I usually want to know WTF I wrote
fluffypony: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://i.imgur.com/I0JQld6.jpg
pankkake: I use multiple destination a lot, actually
davout: now do you know how i make him cry ?
davout: i tell him my dick is larger than his
davout: do you know how i can easily make a horse laugh ?
fluffypony: I don't think there's an implied problem in that graph, it's more a statement of fact :-P
fluffypony: davout, pankkake: http://i.imgur.com/hiKVziV.jpg
benkay: i'll just squeeze this beer.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no but i mean "o hey guise, i discovered trollbox on btce"
fluffypony: I couldn't turn away for like 5 minutes
fluffypony: support button is on the left, chat is on the right, I clicked the wrong one
fluffypony: actually I have found a place worse than the forums
mircea_popescu: i bashed this entire thing btw. it's too lulzy
fluffypony: I say we pick one of these every week, setup a bullshit site, and list it on BitcoinBourse or CryptoStocks
benkay: they bumped to 140k i b'leev.
bitcoinpete: mike_c: ayup, i know a guy who's going to san fran for 3 months this summer to go through the yc meat processor. it's 6%
asciilifeform: last i checked
mircea_popescu: i dunno how the fuck a fixed % can work
