nubbins`: i mean, shit, pull it out a few different ways. cash, even.
nubbins`: i mean, the whole silver/gold stacking thing is a bit fucking silly
KRS1: i dont follow silver..is it low price these days like gold?
nubbins`: ah, i've heard bad things about amagi too, although i've never had problems
Duffer1: i see
KRS1: i think coins are lower weight..but at the end of the day..it doesnt matter if its a dildo.
Duffer1: i've never bought precious metals, that sounds high
nubbins`: last gold one i bought was, i think, 2x spot
nubbins`: some from there (i'm in the "masters club" now), some from amagi, some from casascius
nubbins`: i went on a bit of a coin binge a few months ago
nubbins`: and i thought the guy paying 50btc for the first-day 2011 1btc coin was crazy
nubbins`: i do have to laugh at the people asking 40btc for their 25btc rounds, though
nubbins`: i mean, i've even got pgp-signed docs from casascius with md5 checksums of scans of the coins he sent me... but that doesn't stop me from making fakes with the same addresses
nubbins`: i have some duplicates and want to expand my collection
mircea_popescu: wao-ender i have no idea, seems disappeared
gribble: BingoBoingo was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 1 hour, 37 minutes, and 42 seconds ago: <BingoBoingo> Just remembet I take a break as soon as hockey coems on
Duffer1: why do i get the feeling .bait are just pics of MPs conquests
mircea_popescu: uhhh i think i know these two
mircea_popescu: talk to pankkake, i think they give them a copy with their passport.
mircea_popescu: truffles i'd rather re-read voltaire than re-read forum idiocy nominally "new" and written by some "new" guy but factually the exactly same rehash
Duffer1: ha cervantes, i plan on naming one of my star citizen ships Rocinante
Duffer1: though i do have sophacles on my shelf i haven't been able to bring myself to open it
mircea_popescu: well that's what i mean when i write about "teaching people to read and write and nothing else"
Duffer1: if it's over 100yo and not plutarch or shakespeare then i probably haven't read it
Duffer1: i have not
Duffer1: i'm always looking for new books
Duffer1: i've never even heard of gargantua and pantagruel, any other classics you can think of?
diametric: but every time i watch a scifi where some motherfucker hacks a system like he's playing a puzzle game
mircea_popescu: take... i dunno, take clarke's thing with the rotating space straw.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i understand a lot more science than whatever rules fantasy.
diametric: I have to admit though, good sci-fi is good.
Duffer1: i've found that to be true of fantasy and sci-fi
Duffer1: i see
diametric: truffles: its because i'm upstairs, i usually keep my laptops/computers downstairs with my toys: http://i.imgur.com/xHo4VDX.jpg
KRS1: ah ok that explains it..just as i thought
mircea_popescu: fantasy is pulp that knows it's pulp. sci-fi is pulp with a pretense. i never like that much.
Duffer1: i know you've read heinlien :P
Duffer1: i've yet to see a sci-fi mmo i've liked
mircea_popescu: there's no big deal signing in when needed. that's how i do it at any rate, nickserv is good enough for just casual chat
diametric: maybe I won't then
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 i hate sci-fi. never could get into it.
diametric: i should put that into my bouncer startup.
Duffer1: i tried that too, i'm just too tired of the middle earth magic fantasy, i need sci-fi
mircea_popescu: i like rift.
Duffer1: i traded mmos for naval gazing
diametric: i traded playing mmos for playing with cool stuff like laser cutters.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 kinda it. there still is the bitcoin eve guild, but fuck me if i can be bothered with eve, i'd rather supervise excel monkeys
Duffer1: i 'played' eve for a few hours, i never got the impression i was 'playing' anything, more like watching eve
diametric: I made almost all my money scamming.
diametric: mircea_popescu: yup, sometimes i see scams i swear are word for word, replacing isk for btc.
Duffer1: last i saw of him was a post about his indecision regarding ciphertrade
kakobrekla: at least that how i get it
b0n1: we are 3 people, do i have to pay 10 BTC for every single person for the conference?
kakobrekla: why do i have a feeling this would reqire lots of diy
pankkake: when I was a child, one exploded, and it started a fire on my bed
pankkake: oh, halogen lamps? I'm never having one near me again
kakobrekla: i have ecc88 preamp too
pankkake: I have a vacuum tube amplifier, I think it's going to explode eventually
pankkake: I hope it didn't annoy the neighbors too long…
pankkake: oh, that is interesting. I came home and the detector was beeping
kakobrekla: i dont think theres one correct link there
b0n1: when is it and where can I register?
b0n1: hey guys! I remember there will be a bitcoin conference in romania beginning for 2014, right?
diametric: afternoon or evening I suppose.
Neil: The facts are right I think; the code sucks.
KRS1: i bet the said wallet has to be hosted on their platform or something
KRS1: yeah i dig it but...its not a bitcoin wallet.
mircea_popescu: prolly the sort of thing i deserve for my hybric nature.
Neil: If it veers to no, I hate to think how big the bets become
Neil: I give it 60% chance of getting to 1690. The leeches will come in in about 1 week (on either side) when the outcome will be clear, even to scrape a 2%
mircea_popescu: decimation yes, but not against "i accidentally flushed it down the toilet" scenarios
KRS1: ok well I'll leave you guys alone..thanks anyway.
mircea_popescu: i knew that'd turn into a challenge :D
Neil: KRS1: Only in a controlled and verified env I suspect.
KRS1: i cant see how
Neil: But then I'd have said that about bitcoin back in 2009
Neil: I don't get it.
Duffer1: i don't see how it will be used for anything other than scamming
KRS1: i have no idea how you can insure a bitcoin wallet.
mircea_popescu: i read it on reddit so it must be troe
ThickAsThieves: i sold one of my GPUs for more than I paid for it new
pankkake: knc delivers but from what I understand the miners eventually explode
decimation: perhaps I should hedge on bitbet :)
mircea_popescu: i know they're coming.
mircea_popescu: i'm looking forward to the "bitbet should close all the bets and send all the bitcoins to me plzkthx"
decimation: yes. I ordered a "2nd batch" neptune for ~11 btc and I was wondering about the probability it would actually arrive and work would be
mircea_popescu: i thought kako bought furries
VanCleef: i only buy labcoin hardware
decimation: hi. I'm a noob to the channel, but I note the conversation shifted to mining - and I was wondering if anyone had experience with kncminer stuff?
Neil: Apocalyptic: Miners don't know when they got the one that solved it? I'm sure they do.
Apocalyptic: neither do I
mircea_popescu: i don't follow what you are saying at all.
ThickAsThieves: Neil, I'm sure there's a way they could do it
ThickAsThieves: i think it's funny that voting is optional
Neil: ThickAsThieves: ghash.io is part itself (cex?) and part individual miners. They could move their own hashing to appear anon. Can't do that with external miners to the pool I think.
mircea_popescu: because i think their opinion is not worth the shit it's carved in.
Neil: Ah yeah I know that one.
ThickAsThieves: After all the reddit scare, I wonder if the pool simply set up a way to anonymize some of its hashing
mircea_popescu: that's a point i guess.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the #1 reason noobs are still being scammed blind is the fact that idiots run arround making false scammer claims all teh time
