BingoBoingo: Not even that. The You Can Message Someone on Facebook, as
a replacement for email is
a catalyst of suck.
fluffypony: "Bitcoin's
a great protocol! Here's
a web wallet."
BingoBoingo: Well,
A lot of things on the internet are better not existing on the web level at all.
fluffypony: they have
a regulatory requirement to only deal with Canadians, so I don't understand why they even show the deposit screen/address for unverified customers
fluffypony: yes, they're obviously
a bit retarded or very, very sneaky
BingoBoingo: Are you sure litecoins don't expire on the whims of investors/speculators? 1 LTC = 1 LTC, but beyond that... Who pumps them at
a particular time seems to affect their value quite
a bit.
jurov: BingoBoingo: litecoins don't expire on
a whim of investors
BingoBoingo: reeses: Last week's panic over taking National Guard Attack helicopters: There is still
a nuclear armed National Guard Unit.
jurov: but i can't imagine being
a merchant to weigh every customer's reputation how much less are his coins worth
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform doesn't strike me as the kind of person that would release
a shitcoin
bitcoinpete: UNICEF poopy music video. there's gotta be
a cryptocoin crowdsourcing idea in there somewhere. maybe asciilifeform's shitcoin?
fluffypony: "The SAFEst thing for Bitcoiners to do is keep their coins, back-up their hard drives, and encrypt their important files using PGP/GPG. The SAFEst thing for you to do is to find
a VC or go back to the drawing board." <- best line in the article
fluffypony: making
a fuzz is going to be my new phrase
fluffypony: "DavidT: i guess yes you are making
a fuzz unnecessarily. and asking nicely and calmly or doing more research may get you more info i reckon."
ozbot: Liaoning Carrier
A Symbol of National Power - YouTube
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: The same person also said "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to
a bunch of little old ladies, at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity, and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of
a piss-soaked paper bag."
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: As
a great man once said "No bastard ever won
a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: gotta flex those muscles, touch those toes once in
a while
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Doing so is always
a good exercise
BingoBoingo: benkay: I'm just thinking of what Putin is doing in Ukraine vs. Bush-Obama in the US. It's going to force
a lot of soul searching at the top of the US about the essence of being
a super power when mapped onto results.
benkay: or just this dancing-around-trying-to-grab-each-others-nuts that is the price finding game in the absence of
a clear price signal
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Oakland seems to be
a lot of people's "other favorite"
jurov: mircea will certainly come soon, maybe after
a lil fuck
fluffypony: with this I'm probably just going to get
a /28 and separate bindings out, that way if an IP is null-routed it doesn't affect the rest of them
fluffypony: artifexd: the problem is that this particular server will always be discoverable, as it runs
a bunch of altcoin wallets, so anyone traversing nodes to DDoS
a particular scamcoin will come across it
artifexd: Worth it, imo. Still, it does take up
a lot of time. BE AWARE! ;)
artifexd: The problem with trilema credits is the investment in time. Reading becomes
a very large time investment.
cgcardona_: i guess I should just submit and order
a bunch of trilema credits
ozbot:
A little bit of DDOS pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
fluffypony: open
a support ticket and get told that because the main IP is null-routed the DDoS protected IP can't proxy to it
fluffypony: they give me
a secondary IP that will proxy traffic and still be available during
a DDoS
fluffypony: it gets DDoS'd occasionally, so I added DDoS protection on
a single port for that server
fluffypony: I had
a fight with one of the DCs that host
a server for me today
artifexd: Put that ink in your printer and make
a super sekrit paper wallet.
cgcardona_: my son was just opening some easter presents and he got
a pen which writes in ink which only shows up when you shine
a little black light which is hidden in the cap onto the paper. Kid spy gear
fluffypony: last year in Japan
a 221Kg bluefin sold for $1.8 million
fluffypony: my brain hurts imagining
a fish being that size...when I think in those proportions I expect it to be
a whale or
a shark or
a dolphin or something
Duffer1: i don't recall how long ago, but they talked about fishing truly massive tuna's off the coast during
a certain time of year
fluffypony: bluefin tuna, live weight of 415kg and
a gutted weight of 361kg
Duffer1: i saw him
a couple times, but that was last year
ozbot: Starting
a new FPGA mining farm/contract Cognitive Resurrected on[Havelock]
cgcardona_: so I would need to pay
a friend to do it for me in SF and that seems like
a hassle as well.
cgcardona_: plus I'm living in hawaii now and you need someone to go in person to
a chinese consulate
cgcardona_: i'm unclear on if I can get
a visa and I don't want to take
a wash on the btc.
cgcardona_: and fwiw I'm bailing on the china plan. I cant book the plane tickets and hotel before applying for
a visa
kakobrekla:
a couple of people are missing on that one, but more pic will come i bet.
kakobrekla: i have
a large amount of phone number, no worris.
kakobrekla: not really
a trilema but more of
a bitcoin/-assets conf
kakobrekla: but im well, had
a really nice time, again.
cgcardona_: Q: What does
a vegetarian zombie crave?
fluffypony: no clue, they had
a lot of media coverage and
a reasonably pretty site
TestingUnoDosTre: Or yahoo, maybe I'll just go to
a library with my laptop that has all my personal info, then I'll sign onto public wifi
TestingUnoDosTre: Wouldn't you just pay
a small amount up front, then deliver more after real evidence
fluffypony: so every "assassin" on the darknet is fake with
a bunch of snuff videos
fluffypony: but if I'm donating or not donating am I not making an informed decision/judgement call? am I not picking
a side of the fence on which to sit (which side may change later) ?
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I find myself torn...I think that SR was an interesting endeavour, and I applaud his efforts in providing
a platform, but I think organising six murders is taking Internet-tough-guy too far
fluffypony: in which /r/Bitcoin can't decide whether to support Ross Ulbricht's legal defence because drugs mmmmmkay or vehemently not support it because, you know, he tried to have people killed and ran
a successful criminal enterprise
cgcardona_:
A:"It shouldn’t be that difficult. My friend is
a math genius who previously worked on an algorithm modeled after Google’s PageRank, but it’s still in the works."
cgcardona_: Q: What has been the most difficult aspect to developing
a Bitcoin Business review system?
dignork: bounce: equipment manufactuer won't give you
a warranty if you use windows drop-in
bounce: if I had
a choice I'd much prefer my (expensive!) equipment be steered by something unix-y, but if that's Just Too Hard for the people designing the machinery I'll take an open source windows drop-in replacement. better for long term support and all that
fluffypony: so then you're stuck on unsupported XP for
a long time till that layer can get re-written
fluffypony: and the front-end gets
a modern overhaul
fluffypony: the business logic stays as
a 16-bit DLL/tray app
fluffypony: I've seen
a LOT of LoB apps where they abstracted the business logic from the display/interface
fluffypony: the only way to run 16-bit apps in Vista+ is through
a VM
turbo_ac100: hmkay. There is
a good niche for them already then.
joecool: i thought directx code was merged into wine like
a year or two ago
thestringpuller: fluffypony:
a slim copy of ReactOS with DirectX working and all the gunk pulled out would be nice << i've been sayin' that for years lol
fluffypony:
a slim copy of ReactOS with DirectX working and all the gunk pulled out would be nice
bounce: useful to boot all sorts of dos diagnostics, flash utilities, whatnot. useful for games. the odd dos-only application that's critical to the business and irreplacable. and so on. same with reactos, except with
a more recent and more widely used application base.
cgcardona_: I met him at
a W3C plenary meeting so it's possible he was extra relaxed in that environment but he was super kind.
cgcardona_: the whole web stack is
a rube goldberg machine if ever there were one
fluffypony: cgcardona_: CSS gives me
a headache...I'm definitely not
a front-end person from that perspective
fluffypony: "Goxcoin would be issued on
a one-to-one basis to trusted and verified accounts."
fluffypony: why do they think it'll make
a difference calling his wife?
kakobrekla: as i said,
a 'fuck you' clause must be added.
kakobrekla: hrm i dunno perhaps you found
a corner case.
ThickAsThieves: Revelations aside, nothing has changed. The NSA monitored communications well before Edward Snowden leaked documents to Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. It has long had the power of the subpoena to compel
a business to hand over records and documents.
HeySteve: that I have, no dice. verified email tho. I'm perhaps being extra cautious as it will be
a big story
HeySteve: not
a trading situation but journalistic
ThickAsThieves: fluffypony:on the topic of stupidity - you mentioned in
a post that clever people learn by observation, and stupid people learn by direct experience...but I'm not sure if I agree that every lesson *can* be learnt by observation // well, NEW experiences can't be learned by observation, generally
