asciilifeform: ( http://www.drdobbs.com/article/print?articleId=206904396&siteSectionName=cpp redirects to the spamolade version , vs the 'printable' clean one, when refer header isn't equal to the spamolade page. very frustrating , and workaround would be good addition imho to archive.is )

mod6: yeah might take some time to get it into storage, but same thing if you got 65 tons of quarters from a slot machine.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 here's something to blow your mind : noob kid in eulora dug up an ord sr claim of mine ; got 65k sr. he's dragging it to town, 1k at a time. he's calculated it'll take him ~4 hours. << that's an awesome jackpot though!
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell covertress http://qntra.net/2016/09/not-quite-news-roundup-xtend-4-tmr/ << Oh a second mention
BingoBoingo: Could still be cookie confused over the time you linked a tumblr.com link and successfully posted numerous comments afterwards.

asciilifeform: thing they're attached to is supposed to supply up to 800w peak without burping.
asciilifeform: right now they're just playing 'music'
mircea_popescu: what does the motor do ?
mircea_popescu: but im sure they'll find some jews to blame. as per sop.
asciilifeform: well, there ~is~ the usual ~impractical~ use
mircea_popescu: capital means something, and that someting ain't "i feel this'd be fair"
mircea_popescu: there's no practical use for all this hallucinated "capital" that these alleged depositors own.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 17:00 mircea_popescu: somehow though, businessmen are supposed to go "oh, hey, neat, you pay negative interest to depositors, i'll just continue to pay you 5-10%, why not"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-03#1534046 << sooo as i understand, euro depositors are in full mtgox mode?? ('we'd love to withdraw everything, but then the mousetrap will shut') ☝︎
davout: aren't they all shitty clones of one another?
shinohai: tfw your shitty eth clone gets replay attacked twice in < 1 month and you say "fuck it!" and switch to PoS.

mircea_popescu: somehow though, businessmen are supposed to go "oh, hey, neat, you pay negative interest to depositors, i'll just continue to pay you 5-10%, why not" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile eurozone wants to charge negative rates.
mircea_popescu: together, they just want to nobody could have predicted! ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the state-run bullshits that pretend to be banks are exactly selecting for random idiots who pretend to be entrepreneurs.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is going to take credit in dollars in a foreign market, and pay 100x the interest rate ? pretenders, that's who.
mircea_popescu: ed locally ; and libor +6% (no less than 7%) for "cartera general". in dolars, OF COURSE.
mircea_popescu: in other utter lulz, argentine bank (banco ciudad) takes out half page ad on the back of the main newspaper here to advertise how "tus proyectos no tienen fronteras", because the chief whore started with "proyectos" and now everyone's fixated on that word. the deal they offer ? 36 month loans, libor +5% (no less than 6%) for "grandes empresas" ie, "google's list of sites that we pretend are relevant to all searches" implement
roby_z: hello mircea_popescu my brother told me about eulora, i'm trying to enter the wot
asciilifeform: https://www.igolder.com/kyc << incredibly lulzy attempt to spin the compliance with usgism as a 'voluntary' and 'freedom-enabling' act
mircea_popescu: which is a rare trait in "independent" cowsies.
mircea_popescu: at least they admit.
asciilifeform: '...To learn more about the Bitcoin protocol and its feature, please watch "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4L7xDNCmA (Bitcoin 2012 London: Mike Hearn).'
asciilifeform: but the best part,
asciilifeform: y and security as our server is always vulnerable to confiscation. ...'
asciilifeform: 'Since iGolder has a central point of failure (our server may be raided by thugs wearing some kind of uniform), we feet it is safer for us to cease operations. The iGolder experiment has been personally rewarding as we met many gold enthusiasts and also learned about Bitcoin in the process. For those who have no idea what Bitcoin is, we recommend doing your own research. Bitcoin is far superior to iGolder in every way, both in privac

diana_coman: asciilifeform, re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-01#1532957 wanted to say it worked great, thank you very much ☝︎
shinohai: Funny enough, igolder hasn't existed as a "company" for quite some time.
asciilifeform: ^ one of the stars of the 'braindamaged keygen' zoo also
mircea_popescu: $key t2yax
mircea_popescu: this asks for the privkey and pw.
BingoBoingo: $up t2max
mircea_popescu: $key t2max
BingoBoingo: $up t2yax
mircea_popescu: (for the non-ro elements : romania had a designated place for fertility treatments, sovata. it had some birthing pools, and a wide selection of not-your-husband's dicks to choose from. because yes, most of the time that's the problem.)
diana_coman: that online decryption site is anyway cherry on top; had no idea such a thing exists even: give us your private key and we'll decrypt things for you...
mircea_popescu: whole convo is straight out from the insane asylum. "gotta take care of your things" "oh ok i'll give them to google then"
mircea_popescu: jurov well, bugpowder. looking for good investments to finance horrible investments. just like usg finance generally!
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-02#1533515 << Musk was making the rounds this week. He was on Colbert's Late Night show apologizing for booms. Perhaps he should stop working 120 hour weeks and maybe get some sleep? ☝︎
jurov: it needs so much iops that it barely keeps up with network even with ssd
jurov: btw, aside from above problems, i tried it and it has much worse node problem than btc
mircea_popescu: it's a shockingly common complaint, this. you'd wonder wtf they do with all the time they're saving.
mircea_popescu: ain't nobody got time for that.
asciilifeform: depressingly familiar mass delusion (quite like, e.g., the tor thing.)
asciilifeform: how many of the 'privacy!1111' fanbois took the time to understand the algo ?
asciilifeform: the ~approach~ i am seeing among monerists - 'it's a black box, i'ma assume it does the claimed magic' is also concerning.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 01:44 mircea_popescu: it's altogether unclear it fixes anything ; the controlling discussion re that is alf's smoke grenade.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-30 17:29 asciilifeform: davout: 'ring signatures' are not the promised 'invisibility cloak', but more of a smoke grenade.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 01:44 mircea_popescu: but if you understand this ring signature thing past the buzzword level, feel free to introduce it rigurously and prove that claim.
asciilifeform: and any chain of logic predicated on it being a thing, leads to ignominious usg captivity and arse waltz.
asciilifeform: it is not a thing.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 01:39 Bugpowder: Right, The Playpen operation. But there are so many DNMs, no way they are all honeypots. Now, some may be usgov inflitrated, tor may be usgov compromised, but I don’t think DNMs are driven by usgov.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-03#1533882 << is it a difficult concept that THERE IS NO SUCH THING as 'DNM', because there is no such thing as DN !? ☝︎
Bugpowder: My thesis advisor also died this week. 64. Smartest guy I’ve met.
mircea_popescu: chet (original cto) also passed this spring.
Bugpowder: I think he died and the project stalled. But my news is a year out of date. Haven’t been paying attention until ETH/ETC… and there is just tooo much stuff in the ecosystem to keep track of these days.
mircea_popescu: statistics is hard, turns out. especially when god hates your guts.
mircea_popescu: but no, it's bitcoin-mmo. and after a year+, playerbase has not yet the slightest clue re mechanics involved.
Bugpowder: OK OK. when grant writing is done, I will check it out. Is it like huntercoin? Too bad the dev for that died.
mircea_popescu: anyway, dun too easily dismiss eulora. unlike whatever-dice, it's actually for smart people.
Bugpowder: Something like that… neural circuits.
mircea_popescu: still in that biochem thing ? what was it, neurotransmitters ?
Bugpowder: life good. she forgave me for Just Dice accident. 2 kids now. They are running around outside now… Just need to secure long term funding for work and I’m probably set.
mircea_popescu: o hey, how's that going ?
Bugpowder: getting the wife to agree… harder.
