mircea_popescu: "something like" is not much of a definition.
asciilifeform favours crackpot theory: the seekrit skvirels prefer to enlist 'pure blood aryans' and this is a painful constraint for them
mod6: that seems like a shitton of power for one chip mp O.o
mircea_popescu: and of course the spec is a gnarly pos. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon3 anywhere from 310 to 410 w per o.o
mod6: I guess I could just put a line in there to set the % est. diff change to -75% of less than that number is received from the source.
kakobrekla: i have a reputation dildo
X-Rob: I have a reputation thread
mircea_popescu: X-Rob well, i dun know em, i dun trust em, and we have a similar problem : you're not in the wot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu and all other 'trinitron' aficionados: when you get the inevitable tube fade, do you boost the electron gun voltage? or bite the bullet and somehow conjure up a new (!) tube ?
kakobrekla: if there isnt a significant discount you are better off to rehire every diff change hehe
X-Rob grabs a calculator
mircea_popescu: but i guess the lower one would work. how'd you feel about a longer term deal ? willing to move on the price a little ?
X-Rob: That's meant to be 13, but a couple of S2s are running slow
X-Rob: Just a guy
mircea_popescu: sounds a little under my earlier estimate :o
mircea_popescu: well so did you actually make a profit ?
railzand: Yes rented from a guy who knows how to do all that
railzand: Is that my punishment? I am but a poor peon...
railzand: I pointed 12.5 T at it on a stratum server
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo a fine mess! where is tat! :D
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has a point, it doesn't move more than 4x either way on a recalibration
diana_coman: will go back and have a look, thanks
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's mostly a b-a insider joke.
Chris_Sabian: ThickAsThieves started it as a CoinGen bitcoin clone in late january 2014. people have been mining since then. they are worth about 200 satoshi
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's just a direct btc clone, really. you can even use btc addresses for it.
BingoBoingo: Haven't mined it yet but I'll point a trickle there to see if they report anything... Once I make an account as I am nao
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sent him a PM on the forum
BingoBoingo: dignork: How does this setting up a stratum server work?
mircea_popescu: "It looked like a pile of numbered cubes as it bobbed gently and flew over the landscape and under the sea. It was Boxy and it had not a worry in the world nor in his head, for his head had holes shaped like one, two, three… But it had no purpose either and so it was in search of a purpose that he explored the whole land of Eulora – a land that was just learning to be."
mircea_popescu: try an' get a good deal.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha mod6 you've been beat BY A GIRL ?!?!?!
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell sgornick you've found my "who's paying attention to me honeypot"! you get a foxcoin
ben_vulpes: you a) can't read documentation and b) don't know how to ask questions.
ben_vulpes: properly perm'd homedir. if none of the above makes sense, you don't know enough about how computers work to be fucking with gpg. luckily, you'll learn it over the course of a week writing your own wrapper.
ben_vulpes: <pete_dushenski> ;;later tell jgarzik you gotta be fucking kidding me with this shit (https://twitter.com/jgarzik/status/500224384536412160). who the fuck are you fooling with this malicious derpage? << this "usable lib" shit is hysterical. look - if you need to use GPG programatically, shell the fuck out to it from whatever you're doing. specify a sane homedir or even better run your application as its own user so it gets its own
wyrdmantis: i'm learning bit a bits
punkman: wyrdmantis: a simple heuristic is "does $author even WOT?"
wyrdmantis: http://www.amazon.com/The-Bitcoin-Bible-Benjamin-Guttmann/dp/3732284328 <<<--- is this useful in your opinion? a beginner asked me, i will not buy it.
copumpkin: damn, I'll have to get a better botnet
jurov: <asciilifeform> [03:48:59] decimation: 'cardano, design and operation' will include a nicely whittled version of 4880. << done by nubbins` ?
pankkake: Apocalyptic: I fear your email server still doesn't handle greylisting properly :( also, setting up a SPF record would help you not getting greylisted
mircea_popescu: now if all these noob bloggers would learn to stop using disqus, the world would be such a much better place.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, it's a give and take sort of deal. it only becomes problematic when fuckwits get a hold of the reins.
mircea_popescu: like, kid doesn't have to go to the forest, cut logs and make a schoolhouse before he can have a basic math class.
assbot: A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering: What's the matter with PGP?
pete_dushenski: "as a man stewed in the secular religion of science, let me share with you its inner workings"
mircea_popescu: "as a derp bathing in the lake, i find it interesting to pretend like the lake fauna is pretending to be the whole world. anthropologically!"
pete_dushenski: As an outsider, it is (anthropologically) interesting to watch a bunch of (predominantly) white (predominantly) Americans (and Canadians) purport to claim that an interesting payment protocol will solve world peace, governmental overreach, and all the other ills of modernity. << as an insider, i find his use of brackets (fucktarded)
pete_dushenski: nao i just need to sort out what sassbot, the real bot that is, can do for b-a...
pete_dushenski: apparently i was on such a roll, putting other canadian boy in his place, that i've earned the title "sassbot"
pete_dushenski: had a fun evening out with another couple
decimation: so 32 satoshis per day per megahash, not a bad price
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: 0.015 BTC, It's a loss, but an educational one.
dignork: BingoBoingo: for 8 hours run i'm not sure it's worth it, but it's actually pretty easy to set a temp stratum server, and point miners there.
mircea_popescu: ah dignork has a point, you'll get more later prolly.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't bother with a pool for atc tbh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway the idea of a pool is that you share your stuff
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> hey that's enough to keep a guy afloat in bsas for a few months at least << the theory that doge is worth dollars, as in over 1, is still lulzy.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> decimation: I just did rent X hash for Y time and pointed it at a pool. Have no idea how the pool figures payouts << you mining atc or btc ?
ben_vulpes: nanotube: ^^ you probably know about this one but have a bit of disclosure anyways
gribble: Error: "bcinfo" is not a valid command.
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
benkay: well there's a neat little hole in gribble
ben_vulpes: hey that's enough to keep a guy afloat in bsas for a few months at least
BingoBoingo: decimation: I just did rent X hash for Y time and pointed it at a pool. Have no idea how the pool figures payouts
Blazedout419: Every new miner sold will not likely ROI or turn a profit...yet they sell out over and over
BingoBoingo: WHY is this pool paying me change when my hash is finding blocks!!! Mining is a scam!!!
Blazedout419: I need to move my miners and rent them out...pays a lot more
Blazedout419: someone rented a lot
BingoBoingo: Blazedout419: I guess this rent a rig can work
asciilifeform: re: user interface << a 'clean ui' doesn't mean what people often think it means. e.g. a lathe has three knobs. what could be simpler. and yet.
decimation: I know a guy who was mining in hawaii with $0.3 kWh rates
decimation: some environmental concern troll should write a blog about how asic mining will make the blockchain green, because it will be more thermally efficient
Blazedout419: they have a web interface to add pools etc..
gribble: Error: "bc,diff" is not a valid command.
ben_vulpes: somewhere between "its possible but a nightmare" and "all defaults configured for you" is zen ui
decimation: asciilifeform: no, that's a complaint about the gpg user interface
asciilifeform: decimation: 'cardano, design and operation' will include a nicely whittled version of 4880.
mircea_popescu: no argument there's a lot of useless crud in there.
asciilifeform has a well-thumbed hardbound copy of this thing next to keyboard
decimation: asciilifeform: do you know of a document that gives a detailed description of the innards of gpg file formats etc?
decimation: "what part is complex [of pgp]" << when I do a gpg --list-packets --verbose < pubkey I find much that I desire to be documented
asciilifeform: and not a few of the best gestapo folks ended up in stasi, etc.
asciilifeform: anyone who worked for the tsar in any capacity, 20 years diging ice << nah. most of them (including herr dzugashvili...) just got a new krysha.
BingoBoingo wonders how much a Petahash is to rent...
mircea_popescu: speaking of specialised hardware, anyone got a box somewhere they want to rent me ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've been following his forum trolling a bit, some decent reads
BingoBoingo: The slavegirls mounting a rescue op to reverse-extradite
usg_press_machin: Ha! Not necessarily a better one. But as BingoBoingo pointed out, USG shillery always better in person
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Doping your drink in London though might be the USG's one chance to try to rape you for a change
mircea_popescu: people think best with a written record, i find.
mircea_popescu: i hate london, and why do you think a pub somewhere'd be a better venue ?!
usg_press_machin: mircea_popescu if you're ever in London drop a line. Would be happy to thrash this out over a beer sometime.
mircea_popescu: the reason we met is because for a few years that is no longer the problem.
mircea_popescu: "this isn't a good apple because its not fda approved" "have you tasted it ?" "i don't need to"
justusranvier: Psychopaths gonna psycho in any situation. The current situation is that when certain psychopaths put on the right costume, all of a sudden something flips in everybody else's brains wherein they regard the actions of the psychopath in completely oppostie moral terms.
ben_vulpes: a wild!
justusranvier: True, there will always be murders. What can be ended is the myth that murder isn't evil just because somebody drapes a fancy title on themselves and cloaks their actions in euphamisms
justusranvier: Murder is murder, no matter what kind of costume somebody wears. "The state" is the lie that a magic costume can turn murder into "public policy" or some other such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the state as a voluntary association, all they who choose and wish to pay taxe sand obeys the law is what we have here already.
