kakobrekla: i got the notice.
nubbins`: man, i'm really good at making shepherd's pie
nubbins`: i do now :(
benkay: assbot's busy i guess
nubbins`: ah, i didn't get one these past two joins
benkay: i've seen a few...
BingoBoingo: An eatlier one, I believe on MPEx design
BingoBoingo: I like the Multibit interface more for handling multiple wallet, but I'm liking Electrum more and more as I play with it. I just wish there was a good solution for handling both Deterministic and random generation wallets.
fluffypony: I really like Electrum, much more than MultiBit
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: More nodes in general is good. Since I've started playing with electrum, I've become a bit interested in seeing how without a sufficient number of servers its model might approach par with SPV in some ways.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: yup, and I'm not hosting it on any of my dedi boxes if I can avoid it
jurov: but i could fix that by using ipv6
BingoBoingo: I wonder when someone will release a "Vaxberry Pi" credit card sized vax board
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Well, I probably would have opened it a bit differently.
artifexd: I knew that. It just seemed like something you would write. Anti-CA and all.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: I did not.
fluffypony: any recommendations for a reasonable VPS provider that won't throw a tantrum if I run a bitcoin node? DigitalOcean want me to provide DNA samples and ownership of my unborn child to allow me to create a new VPS (despite having two hosted with them for the past 18 months)
assbot: I don't do bots, mike_c.
TestingUnoDosTre: I'd put a random distribution of holes in his worthless head!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think this is probably your strongest case for why x86 has to die
asciilifeform: it wasn't part of the curriculum, as far as i recall
mike_c: i don't think i knew what pi was in 3rd grade. maybe my memory is faulty.
pankkake: mircea_popescu: about the image board thing, I don't know if there is an actual demand. I'll see how expensive (in terms of maintenance) it is in the coming days
pankkake: I think I saw a butt plug where you could store things
asciilifeform: lolz, i get up for half a day and come back to 'btc arsesafe is actual product'
dexX7: tweet to american airlines: "Hi my name is Ibrahim and I am from Afghanistan I am part of al-Qaeda, and on June 1, I'm going to do something really big day. . "
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "If I believe at any point there is value or use in them I can just… take… them. If experience is any guide, I shall take them the next day" << do you reccommend that as a general strategy?
mircea_popescu: i don't think they were ever anything else.
bounce: I think I'm missing context here.
benkay: well the things are real. the constructs i wrap around them are just figments of my own mind.
mircea_popescu: (read that again. fine = pretty broad. jesus i fucking love myself har har har)
mircea_popescu: only one i can think of. and the definition of "fine" must be pretty... broad.
mircea_popescu: i still think discussion is impossible absent identity.
bounce: I'm reminded of the register, where they used to moderate each and every comment, and then gradually lifted the requirement. they have a reasonably vibrant commenter community, without requiring facebook or real names or what-have-you.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i wonder if they'll do a wot-based +m :D
benkay: i want a bitmilitia.
danielpbarron: but i'm in "the north," so that's easier for me to say
danielpbarron: i prefer to go without AC; I like being out in the sun while the summer lasts
benkay: okay i get journos are tarded.
TestingUnoDosTre: Fun fact: someone I know sent to a dispensary in Denver that sold bath salts, but the cashier had to warn" not the ones you're thinking of"
thestringpuller: money i$ king
mircea_popescu: benkay i'm just being steganographical. see because sometimes the things i say are in reality secret messages for uknown third parties according to secret schemes of encoding and so forth.
BingoBoingo: I've just been locking the price into a range I find sustainable and magic happens
Apocalyptic: I heard the price is up 50% from last week, he better :)
mircea_popescu: "Is this still being mined.... I mined it when it had a coingen.io logo still and No source hahahaha"
thestringpuller: oh boy i love magic
arizona: I don't say much here. I enjoy reading and learning. I like your columns, Mr. Popescu. You are a very good writer.
thestringpuller: dog, this is cat, i have some bad news.
mircea_popescu: i think the answer is self-oblivious.
TestingUnoDosTre: Oooh reselling bitbet positions, I like this idea
mike_c: i would think that would be the case. i would welcome an analysis of that topic with numbers and examples :)
los_pantalones: i only know financial and phys commodities markets
los_pantalones: i haven't bet anything on bitbet yet so if i sound like a total idiot, i'm sorry
los_pantalones: so i would venture to guess you are right
bounce: afraid I'm gonna have to do a writeup. n'mind until then.
mike_c: los_pantalones: if you're working on that, something that I have always felt about exponential time decay is that it is really no better than just closing the bet early.
bounce: apropos, that nurture-not-nature for elitism argument isn't very well developed. nice examples, but I don't see'em supporting the premise.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i saw wayne's world
mircea_popescu: artifexd: Because, seriously, who the fuck am I? << you were here at the right time lol. what the fuck do you imagine a barony is ? exactly that, review the early english history :D
mircea_popescu: bounce no, but we can still talk. either are excesses : omg can't talk to no-one except other rear admirals / omg everyone i talk to is exactly like me. middle fucking bitcoineus i say!
mircea_popescu: Here, mircea and I should not exist in the same caste. I'm just a normal dude. He's a Romanian Billionare. WITH A B! I can conceive of no reason that someone that high up the food chain would give two shits about what I think or why I think it. << it's the internet, dood. why else did you think it was revolutionary ?
mircea_popescu: i am going to explain EVERYTHING(tm) before i'm done, i tell you.
TestingUnoDosTre: Now that's something I would invest in
mircea_popescu: i guess the next logical step is silicone implants
TestingUnoDosTre: I can smash your usb and gain access to your bitcoins!? Now that's a true brute force
TestingUnoDosTre: So does it generate a tx when broken, or does I have some wallet file stored inside?
bounce: "retrieve coins" would be the point, I suppose. which apparently involves destroying the thing.
dexX7: i think it's more like "store your key, come back later, restore key"
jurov: I APPROVE
kakobrekla: i dont understand that device at all
mircea_popescu: in that respect gotta hand it to the guy : one of the best launches i've seen.
mircea_popescu: lol. i see what you did there!
bounce: did urbit make it to the bbc, boing boing, something I can't decipher, wired, el grauniad, AND tech radar?
nubbins`: (see what i did there?)
mircea_popescu: wait, no submarines ? i liked the submarines and dukedoms and reversed true/false numeric values idea better
mircea_popescu: "I'll be making money in the form of a small percentage of grid income, since I will establish myself as an active and effective grid owner of one of the most advanced grids out there. Maybe I'll also have a few DA's that are easily supported by the Bitcloud platform, too."
mircea_popescu: i've pretty much forgotten
mircea_popescu: artifexd it's an educated guess, like anything else. the educated part is significant, but i've not published it. it's a complicated thing, this. i tend to readily publish the dirt on actors when they fuck up, like the sec misadventure. but it's kind-of unsportsmanlike to do the same when they're just acting rationally. anyway, complicated matter.
TestingUnoDosTre: Mirceauauu, could I'm a professional reporter from blog XYZ, could I speak with you privately? It's urgent
pankkake: oh you can see them that way… I know I missed one with a typo and it must have expired
gribble: Error: I have no notes for that nick.

ThickAsThieves: ah mp, i just sent a ;;later tell, forgetting the user list is reordered by +
mircea_popescu: you'll never be able to decypher what i meant by that. ever.
fluffypony: I bet that was written by robwhizz22
mircea_popescu: well i never been to waco
danielpbarron: i visited a different false church that was coincidentally located in Waco
BingoBoingo: I'm just thinking that this thing started with one dude and cows as opposed to an entire group of dudes.
mircea_popescu: it's what i'd do too. if the guy takes the cattle away, problem solved. if he doesn't, then by definition they'll still be there,
BingoBoingo: but I think asciilifeform posted that this weekend
los_pantalones: i was going to find the optimal time to bet
mircea_popescu: i can see either side.
los_pantalones: can i ask if you are pro/anti the accelerated decay argument?
los_pantalones: welp, let me see if i can put something coherent together in the next couple days
los_pantalones: i had forgotten
mircea_popescu: then if i don't understand wtf you're saying ima ask somebody to read it to me.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as i've run 90%+ of all option volume on btc/usd i nthe history of btc, i would say yes.
los_pantalones: i'll try to get something more concrete for you
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones i was hoping for something more along the lines of a set of numeric examples, or in any sense some math analysis. opinion based we've had already, such as for instance :
los_pantalones: i started a math optimization as well, prob best not to share that though
