a bunch of annoying teens
psterryl: and sometimes people bring
a relationship back from the rocks and go on to have long and fulfilling times together
psterryl: so maybe it's
a self-loathing issue
psterryl: seems like
a fairly entitled stance
VanCleef: anyone have
a youtube vid of
a robot that's better than asimo?
psterryl: true but when someone makes
a blanket statement that not everyone is entitled to their own opinion
psterryl: i think that says
a lot about the bitcoin community
psterryl: yeah im new on here so still working out who is insightful and who's just
a dick
mircea_popescu: but there is such
a thing as an examen de maturite which keeps the children away from human society.
mircea_popescu: <VanCleef> yeah its official <psterryl> until someone points to some legit evidence or
a statement from LMB/neo/danny
psterryl: until someone points to some legit evidence or
a statement from LMB/neo/danny
psterryl: so people are saying neobee is
a scam now?
mircea_popescu: yeah generally
a pragmatic approach works better. there are more things we want to believe in than can be done.
tg2: I tried to make
a deal with
a golf dome to heat it for free over the winter
MisterE: as scale of rigs increase
a colo facility that makes use of that heat in
a similar way would be interesting
MisterE: in 20 years you;ll have to run an
a/c for your February lawn heh
tg2: It's to much heat for
a house
MisterE: I mean hell you can just well insulate and heat your house if you live in
a colder place

a couple months ago but that also people were lining up to file
tg2: I'm glad they decided to do it, they were on the fence about it for
a few days
MisterE: BFL could not deliver the product my buddy ordered and instead of refunding sent
a lesser spec
mircea_popescu: unless they're taking
a microscope to the box, who's to say what's in there ?

a year"
MisterE: my buddy ordered
a 10mh box and was shopped
a 7mh box
MisterE: yea BFL really scammed
a lot
mircea_popescu: MisterE it's
a theory. it's not outrageously or massively wrong, but im not too persuaded.
tg2: Yeah I pitty anybody who dropped btc on
a bfl product
MisterE: yea tg2 does
a good job explaining that depreciation, expecially of 2nd gen sha-256 asics
gribble: Error: "d" is not
a valid command.
MisterE: BTC still has
a gold rush mentality that personally I dont think is doing speculators any favors
tg2: Yeah I think that's
a way to look at it
tg2: at
a workshop 5 minutes from my office
MisterE: they also mine so there is
a conflict of interest iirc?
MisterE: I heard knc was not reliable and they have had
a lot of delivery misses int he past?
moiety: cazalla: yeah definately, i got the live version :D he is

mircea_popescu: in fact you can allow life on
a 1 wide grid couldn't you
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay "One cannot issue ratings until one is rated oneself. This is
a useful feature that prevents
a lot of misuse of the system. If scammers cannot stuff the WoT database with their sockpuppets, they cannot artificially inflate their ratings. Granted, the mechanism is weak and easily gamed, but the simple presence of
a barrier reduces much malfeasance." this made no sense. you know it made no sense. why
tg2: Not even
a heavy site to lift
samO_: also, is there
a chat log history of this channel somewhere? thx!

a useful distributed work coin project on the burner

benkay: have
a good evening, everyone!
cads: moiety: at least one company I've seen are claiming to be shipping
a scrypt asic
moiety: are scrypt asics

benkay: are there any alts which one can mine with
a cpu and at least get
a few?
benkay: moiety: you might be the first person with
a good reason to implement m of n signing
moiety: everything over vauxhall (unless its
a ford)
mircea_popescu: and wd on the citroen! it may be
a trabamborghini, but it's the french trabamborghini.
moiety: couldn't you have
a couple of people using an address though?
benkay: in fact, might not be
a great idea
cazalla: should i register
a gpg key in addition to bitcoin address for wot or is
a bitcoin address enough?
moiety nods at kakobrekla - just
a wee bit
benkay: can i get
a pizza with bacon on it?
