ThickAsThieves: i guess i'm retarded

skinnkavaj: I think all exchanges should take over after mcxNOW model

pankkake: mcxnow is a pony exchange? now I want in

kakobrekla: i guess noone properly tested the shit

kleeck: This whole internet thing is pretty new, so I'll cut them some slack.

kleeck: I guess I'll just have to check back when the US Gov learns how to build a proper website.

kleeck: Fair enough, Marissa. I know you didn't build this magnificent beast.

kleeck: I mean. I'm filling in fields on a form...

kleeck: I decided to chat with one of ther operators. A feature that actually worked.

kleeck: Maybe I can SQL inject my info...

kleeck: I couldn't even get past the household information section. It just locked up.

kleeck: I'm sure I won't qualify for anything better than my work provides, but I wanted to check it.

kleeck: I logged on just to see what all the fuss is about. Yup. Worst $1B Website ever.

Apocalyptic: pankkake, i totally am

pankkake: skinnkavaj: could you point out the commits? I have a feeling you don't know how git works

pankkake: skinnkavaj: *I* made changes to the litecoin source code. are you flabbergasted yet?

dexX7: ah, i think you mistake it with www.litecoininvest.com?

Kleeck_: Maybe I was ill informed.

Kleeck_: I was told that the site was coming back into operation?

Kleeck_: not burnside, I take it

dexX7: hey asciilifeform, do you have a blog or something similar, too? it's not the first time i see you posting something interesting

mircea_popescu: VanCleef you're not even kidding, i get a lot of (mostly, older, mostly white, mostly male, republican types) very indignant at how they knoiw btc to be a scam

lurker: mircea_popescu: I don't see anything that would put value before demand.

mircea_popescu: read through there, i've written out many cases.

lurker: asciilifeform: I'm not looking at it from the technology standpoint.

lurker: I'm crystal on your meaning, no sweat.

mircea_popescu: anyway, a very simple example to understand what i mean : suppose the law says nobody may search your house without a warrant.

lurker: (and it's late - I'm not particularly articulate at this hour)

mircea_popescu: i think you're jumping to conclusions on very little data, and the shape of those conclusions is visibly more influenced by your own ideas of the world than the actual reality of the matter

lurker: I can see this if these 2 miners are, say, banks, with lots of customers, all using bitcoin.

lurker: mircea_popescu: there might be a way to attack this mathematically but I don't know if there is an exact answer to "how much". The extreme min. would be to have 2 trusted but untrusting miners.

mircea_popescu: i mean "BTC can't survive without being decentralized enough". what's enough and how do you know ?

Bugpowder: Looks like my call to short it at 1BTC would have been profitable, if I had pulled the trigged and not gotten stopped out. :-P

pankkake: I highlight all spellings :p

dexX7: there is another really awesome graph i stumbled upon lately: http://coinsight.org/graphs/reddit_subscribers.png :D

smickles: i might be here now

lurker: samn, I wanted to buy for 20M$ in BTC. I guess the Vii will have to be patient...

dexX7: i have it

skinnkavaj: I have no URL though. It's not presented yet.

dexX7: i'm just asking

skinnkavaj: dexX7: No one has told me to do that. I do it because I am a share holder, this is asset channel and to rub profits in pankkake and Apocalyptics face latero n.

pankkake: I've been thinking about starting an xpm mining operation (there are some cheap deals you can profit from), but it certainly wouldn't be denominated in xp

Apocalyptic: <skinnkavaj> And XPM security trading will be interesting. // i lol'd

skinnkavaj: I think they will overtake a lot of Litecoinglboal and BTCT trading

the20year: trying to figure out what I should do if BF closes shop

dexX7: i don't know, but mp is the one who approves the listings, i guess

kakobrekla: That seems like a good address. I decide to send my bitcoins there to that nice guy or gal can do something great in the world with that money.

kakobrekla: The whole r/bitcointip subreddit still doesn’t tell me shit so I just google “default bitcoin address” and get this lovely address in return.

jcpham: all i see are grammatical errors already

nubbins`: i think a lot of things should be other things

jborkl: I am angry just watching that video

KRS-: lol jurov i'm in I.T. i feel your pain

kleeck: I can't deal with that level of fail.

kleeck: I just stopped it.

pankkake: I see. thanks

nubbins`: a lot of people who like Frank's really dislike Brian's, but i enjoyed it

pankkake: is it any good? I only read the Frank Herbert originals

mircea_popescu: so now i will get a pretty expensive lab bill saying "power fluctuations caused bla bla bla"

mircea_popescu: well, see, before the 2nd drive went in and got fried, i had already sent the 1st to be cut up

mircea_popescu: blameless or blameful, you know ? what can i do, i'm doing it.

bob_: so given that security is the most important thing, and we all understand the complexities involved, I think we can still agree that 2 days down for a failed hard drive probably warrents a blame-less post mortem with the goal of improving the system for the future?

kakobrekla: im just joking btw. i dont have a license to drive a bus.

Namworld: I'm alive

mircea_popescu: i daresay nobody does. we're finding out.

mircea_popescu: anwyay, mpex is very much an adaptive beast. it's the best i can do, honestly, because i don't know the correct way to build bitcoin systems

jurov: well i'm all for shitty servers, and lots of them... you gonna scale up and hadle faults quickly someday anyway

jurov: i mean, if you can do process with one machine, you can do the same with the second one with small marginal costs

mircea_popescu: in my case, i have to, everytime something unexpected happens, see why the fuck it happened before i can move on

nubbins`: jurov: shrug, i only paste ;)

jurov: but i insist, why you have to wait for The One Holy Server to be rebuilt?

nubbins`: i used to work with a girl who had a B.Eng. with honors, and she wrote the worst code i've ever seen. variables called "resultset1" and "string3", seriously

KRS-: a degree at the very least shows that someone can stick to something and complete it..for that, comes some value. as a hiring manager i'd rather see a degree.

jurov: i did not say that

jurov: it's impossible to some day decide "i'll be persistent" and stick to it for years

bob_: yeah, i think tony robbins said that.

bob_: i'd rather see a degree

bob_: not everything is more important than school. i'm looking at a resume right now that does not have a college listed, but does have that he attended "tony robbins - power to influence"

nubbins`: but i think the problem in a lot of cases is that people just don't want anything

nubbins`: the other half of this is that people tend to settle. "well, i'm done school, no more learning for me"

nubbins`: but in my defense, i was told that this shit was basically a golden ticket

nubbins`: so it's not like i did things the smart way

nubbins`: now, to be fair, i'm squarely in the group of people who figured this all out after the fact

the20year: And I asked them all "When you saw that the unemployment rate for someone with that degree is 20% or more, why did you think it was a good idea?"

jurov: also, i was not able to put consistent work output then due to psych problems

the20year: I don't know how many people I know with psycology degrees who are flipping burgers still

the20year: I ask people to spend no less than 30 hours of research on the degree they want, speicifcally in how it will improve employability

jurov: i could have had a business, even in opensource development long ago (nerd's wet dream i guess), but was afraid how to explain to everyone around

nubbins`: i suggest not going to university. at least, not until you know what the fuck you want and have at least a general idea of how to get it

the20year: I asked him "Who are you applying to after college" and he didn't think he could get employed ,even though a logistics degree is amazing to have

the20year: That's how I run RentalStarter, working with contractors

jurov: the20year: the coworking space i'm affiliated to, is trying exactly this

the20year: I hate hourly pay, so what I typically offer is contract pricing, pay-for-performace models, so as they get better ,their wages automatically increase, and then if they don't work well they'll quit on their own without dragging down the company too much

the20year: Personally, i try and develop a plan of finding people who can be motivated, either by time or money, then provide a roadmap so they can see how they will gain good income for working with me over a set period of time

KRS-: the20year: cost me $60 I got 2% for 12 years financing still paying lol

jurov: btw, i'd happily employ genial teenagers.. but how to find them and how to keep them motivated for my cause?

the20year: I wonder how much that piece of paper would cost me

the20year: I'm still pretty happy with the fact I have never attended formal college

jurov: nubbins`: i'd reject such advice before my 3rd uni year as outright blasphemous

pankkake: I wouldn't employ most of the people who got the diplomas I got

KRS-: Ok I see what you are saying and you are right. Those who are just good test takers who finished a program stick out like a sore thumb imo.
