BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe that is the public impression I want to deliver. I mean I let herbi think I was a bot for a good while.
kakobrekla: i also love this part:
Apocalyptic: I see
mircea_popescu: anyway, when i see all these exciting news "we" teams, all i can think is
mircea_popescu: "I wanted to share this new exciting news with you all. The Startup Stock Exchange (SSX) is now the first investment platform through which Bitcoins can be used to invest in companies!"
moiety: i just did this stupid quiz thing and i kid you not http://i.imgur.com/yqI6Qr2.png
fluffypony: I'm not sure if them adding Bitcoin as a funding option will draw much interest from the BTC community tho
mircea_popescu: <jborkl_> only Italian I know << what, no rottinculo, no disgraziati, no nothing ?
fluffypony: let me see if I can find an article
kakobrekla: is it? i havent followed the link
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I will :)
ThickAsThieves: before i could respond
nextime: ok, anyway, i must go back to my daddy role now, asciilifeform i will send you infos tomorrow ( as italy time ) after lunch when i will be in my laboratory
jborkl_: I can't understand anything, but you know when they are pissed off
nextime: lol, i can imagine what you mean :) Italian speakers on motogp and motor sports in general are... uhmmm... "funny"? :)
jborkl_: I will make sure to use that on him :) thx
nextime: asciilifeform: ok, i will
jborkl_: I have a Swiss friend here who teaches me a little time to time
jborkl_: only Italian I know
nextime: ( sorry for the delay in my answers, i'm doing some multitasking things with my childs at home actually )
nextime: asciilifeform : if you give me an email i will send you as soon as tomorrow ( is holyday tomorrow in italy, but i'm a stakanovist and i will be in laboratory ) i will send you a pdf with all specifications of our requirements
nextime: for through-hole parts we work by hands actually ( we are a small company as i say )
nextime: asciilifeform : for tooling? as i say, nothing. We usually choose to absorb this cost hoping to get fidelity, as is a little cost in real.
asciilifeform: nextime: i'd really appreciate a ballpark estimate.
nextime: asciilifeform : of course, but i can bet on my quality :) really, tooling isn't a real cost for us, many assembly company charge tooling cause they wan't to have low batches, we live with low batches
asciilifeform: i'd like a ballpark figure, incl. NRE.
nextime: asciilifeform : so, maybe you can just drop me an email with specifications and part list, so i can give you a quotation for assembly both in turnkey and kitted?
asciilifeform: nextime: i should probably specify that pcb is to be sent in (we already have a good working relationship with a pcb maker)
asciilifeform: nextime: there is already a source for the pcb per se; but i'm shopping around for assemblers.
nextime: yeah! \o/ i'm virgin :D
ThickAsThieves: i left it in just for you
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell heysteve https://twitter.com/Mircea_Popescu/status/459438537163538432 cuz i gotta do all the work around here
fluffypony: mike_c: I don't have the steady hands
mike_c: that video is impressive (to me). i couldn't do that.
fluffypony: I've pinged him
asciilifeform: fluffypony: sure, let's, i appreciate the effort
fluffypony: anyway, I can get him to hop on here and you can have a chat to him and see
fluffypony: "For the slaves, i was thinking about using a pic18f67j60, it is an 8 bit MCU with an ethernet mac/phy embedded, and it is very powerfull. the same circuit we have for the expansion board with this MCU and a magnetic rj45 connector will cost the same for prototipes and no more than 15$ each in production for low batches."
fluffypony: "easy also to prototipe, so i expect to have a "few prototipes" costs between 15/20$ each, and a production price no more than 10/12$ each for low batches ( ~ 100 pieces )"
fluffypony: lemme grab my notes and I'll tell you
fluffypony: asciilifeform: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zimEPURt
fluffypony: asciilifeform: I can you put you in touch with the Italians that are doing stuff for us, I know the owner well and can vouch for him, and they routinely work with small quantities
gribble: I have not seen tcatm.
ThickAsThieves: yeah i wouldnt force it
asciilifeform: but i could be convinced otherwise, given new data
asciilifeform: given what i know about the miner builders, i'm not certain i'd want to purchase so much as shoelaces from anyone associated
fluffypony: find ./ -type f -name '*.py' | xargs sed -i '' 's/http:\/\//https:\/\//g'
ThickAsThieves: i havent either
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: are asicminer still planning on manufacturing to sell to miners, or are they now all in-house mining only? I haven't kept tabs in ages
ThickAsThieves: i aint mining teh ATCs!
ThickAsThieves: not sure if youve any interest, or whether it's a good idea, but i'd be happy to try and connect you to Friedcat at ASICMINER if you think he might have any connections of interest re pcb or components
ThickAsThieves: not sure what that means, am i the bitch or the bitch?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: I expected you as more of a Devil Wears Prada kinda guy :-P
kakobrekla: not the owner, a guy who works at the second link i gave you
kakobrekla: i wasnt saying that
asciilifeform: i'm pretty happy with my current supplier for those
ThickAsThieves: [16:09] <+kakobrekla> the devils advocate? /// one of my fav movies, also a term many people have used on me, also what i feel the essence of blogging is
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: atm i'm looking for folks with reasonably cheap pcb stuffing for obscenely small quantities (<50)
kakobrekla: pm, if im not on your whilelist i can paste here
BingoBoingo: I feel special, ThickAsThieves gets no insight into my operations othe than what I might publically disclose.
kakobrekla: i gotta give it to you, you pick some strange names
ThickAsThieves: i'll surely be tweaking the style and widgets etc
asciilifeform: unfortunately, 'designed accordingly' consists, imho, entirely of the weirdo heresy that only i seem to believe in.
kakobrekla: the log pft. ill remove it just so i dont have to read it.
davout: i'm off, stomachs don't just fill themselves
fluffypony: davout: I met with one of the banks here last year August-ish about it
France-bitcoin: well i did need to connect here (or another chan on the list...) then do it privately which is what i'm talking about
fluffypony: lol customers...ticket just got escalated to me: "I run the 8th largest magazine in the world" - maybe I should reply and ask them what they're doing buying GPU mining frames
France-bitcoin: now i just got to debug some strange stuff with gribble privately and I will leave you alone
France-bitcoin: we don't have any on our channel as far as i know...
France-bitcoin: well the welcoming party here is nice :) I should think about that yeah :)
nanotube: davout: i just added #bitcoin-fr to auth list, by bad_duck's request. so... there.
davout: France-bitcoin mircea_popescu ahh i see
davout: so i was saying
davout: yea, i've been talking for a couple of minutes before realizing i didn't voice myself ><
punkman: mircea_popescu: they plan to add Tor but still, I don't think it's prudent to 0mq with random nodes
France-bitcoin: i'm here because gribble does not integrate #bitcoin-fr mostly
fluffypony: pankkake: LOL - I had no idea, no wonder their product was so shitty
ThickAsThieves: i recall taaki's presentation including such
HeySteve: I see a reputation system as pretty critical to the success of something like dark markets
fluffypony: I actually have a BTC debit card from the now defunct thebitcoincard.co.uk
fluffypony: I don't have a submarine, but I hope to have one through a military contractor...I can haz press coverage nao?

mircea_popescu: "i have the special QueefCaptu underwears! only 19'95 at selected retailers"
moiety: i just made an entirely unnatural noise, not gonna lie
Naphex: i think thats mostly it:o
Naphex: ThickAsThieves: i think they just have a multi-account system, issue a mastercard, give USD, take BTC
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we get someone trustworthy doing mining at some point << the way i understand it, mining is -EV unless you own a semiconductor plant.
jborkl_: it is going to be on bcoinnews.com for now I guess- I could always put it on btcrack.com
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> kakobrekla: your apparatus is losing umlauts again. < ah, the "ü" thing. dunno, ill see what can i do about that.
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell kakobrekla pcb folks? do they also pick'n'place, SMT? < afaik one of them still do, i can check.
kakobrekla: <mike_c> kakobrekla feature request: it would be nice to have yes/no bets confirmed/weighted sum in the BB json. it can be calculated from the bets, so not high priority, but if you're bored :) < hm maybe but that is basic algebra, i try not to pass things that one can easily calc
Naphex: btcxchange-rpc api should support mostly anything. but i'm swamped
Naphex: atleast thats how i heard it proposed
Naphex: dooglus: ever tought about putting out an API? I've heard of guys who'd want to put JustDice in a Romanian Gabling Machine :)
mircea_popescu: dooglus i believe the vanity value is actually an indirect measure of jd worth
