fluffypony: "Yeah, Global Bitcoin Alliance is great stuff. Elections behind closed doors into which you need to buy in by paying 1 BTC, resulting in 5 people declaring
a guy 'general secretary' who bullshitted everybody by claiming
a facebook group he had just clicked together was an incorporated national organisation. He is even using
a fake name (which he did before and which resulted in the German Pirate Party having real legal problems after he was
fluffypony: ;;8ball will the market move up in response to
a large buy?
fluffypony: that's what I thought, but I see
a lot of conversations with statements of fact about it - "the whale is buying XX worth, the market's going to move up in response!" etc. etc.
fluffypony: is there
a recommended resource for learning how currency markets react to large moves? I have little knowledge in this, but I'm interested in figuring out how corrections happen when large bids or asks are placed and bought/sold into
mircea_popescu: also, should there be
a "best mime" ? or do we just invite
a bunch of us vcs and call it good ?

a cto or
a senior engineer of any quality not have the ten grand to throw at
a good idea themselves? << shut up you don't understand the redditard. he COULD HAVE BEEN
a cto. which is just the same OKAY ?
bounce: this result is "for fields with small characteristic", which is
a while away from those with large prime characteristic, as typically used with crypto.
bounce: the fount of all wisdom named slashdot has it that it's not much of
a problem for dsa and such... yet. quite
a while off for trouble to start, in fact.

BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Depending on the old Thinkpad, aerospace grade hardware is
a possibility

a Bitcoin wallet on it and telling people that my cold storage "leverages military-grade hardware"
fluffypony: I have
a reasonably vague idea based on what's been discussed here
fluffypony: cons: thicker than expected, it's definitely creating tension on my wooden case and will probably snap it. Ribbon cable is not sturdy. Qi charging puck is small, so it's
a little fiddly wrt where you put the phone on the charging puck (has to be quite centered).
fluffypony: it's this little charging pad that has
a ribbon cable that you plug in, and the charging pad sits on the back of the phone between the case and phone
fluffypony: "No genius is needed to predict whether these rigs (or any other in this list for that matter) will ever give
a return on investment – the bitcoin price would have to significantly increase or difficulty would have to stabilise for that to happen."
bitcoinpete: "The reality is that MtGox can go bankrupt at any moment, and certainly deserves to as
a company. However, with Bitcoin/crypto just recently gaining acceptance in the public eye, the likely damage in public perception to this class of technology could put it back 5~10 years, and cause governments to react swiftly and harshly. At the risk of appearing hyperbolic, this could be the end of Bitcoin, at least for most of the public."

benkay: well first i find someone with
a problem, then they write me
a check or send me some coins, then i point the cannon at their problem and after about three weeks to three months and some swearing they have some technology that makes their life better or business move slightly more quickly.

a sidechan with atc twoup so my legacy extends beyond making kakos whispy pubes blow in the wind

a deliciously accessible blog post by mp
decimation: "Obama?s general commentary resembles
a gelded, browbeaten husband, where he decides to comment on the dumbest or least important thing and remains mute on stuff that matters. "
decimation: "NFL spends the 249th draft pick in the NFL draft on an openly gay man. Sports fans roll their eyes at the focus on Michael Sam. Do we get
a comment from Obama? Yes!"
fluffypony: "I am convinced that if in general society encouraged kids to take risks and at the same time encouraged them to kill themselves once their risk taking failed we would have much healthier youth (mentally especially),
a much better education system, much nicer things, much less debt and pretty much no problems at all."

a good bashing
cazalla: bitcoinpete: given the time it takes to retrieve
a voicemail, 1hr min seems reasonable
fluffypony: and you thought Bitcoin was filled with "businesspeople" who'd never run
a business and "journalists" who'd never done any journalism
