asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: would be a tad bit more exciting if he signed with it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He aign't got the privates. Think of this a a way of hailing
BingoBoingo: youknowwhoiamand: Really? that isn;t a whole public key
KRS|gotyawallet: Colleagues, is there such a thing as a continual throttled dump of sale of btc into the buys?
KRS|gotyawallet: nubbins` i met some old dude like that the other night..from the moment i met him he seemed like a flake..i couldnt imagine a life like that.
nubbins`: seriously though, try to imagine something more cowardly than waiting until you retire to reveal that you knew your job was a crock of shit
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ACAB | All Cops Are Bastards A.C.A.B punks write it on stuff.

nubbins`: unfortunately, a backwards bathrobe gets all up in your throat
benkay: A FUCKING BATHROBE
benkay: hey what do you call a snuggie worn backwards?
BingoBoingo: All I want for Christmas nao is the ability to make a light blink.
asciilifeform: buy a simple micro board, make a light blink.
BingoBoingo: Cool, In about 15 years I might finally be a programmer
nubbins`: micros are great, i made a MIDI clock signal generator some years ago
asciilifeform: don't learn a toolchain, learn verilog (or vhdl)
BingoBoingo: Well asciilifeform Looks like I have a project nao, thanks
asciilifeform: avoid the ones that are typically used with a traditional OS (most of the modern offering - ARM, etc.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: learning a micro will teach you what everyone in the '80s knew: that low-level programming doesn't have to be a misery.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well as I view things I do more regularly (betting valuations in SAGE mostly) I generally thing of my self as a scripter more than a person who programs. I think I'm going to have fun with the PIC
asciilifeform: there is really very little more fun you could have as a programmer, than on a machine that you can completely understand.
BingoBoingo: My favorite part of IRC is the logs basically compile a reading list.
mike_c: er. homepage says 0.01, put page says 0.05. that's a bug :)

mike_c: it's a bug
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I used to be fond of Sun Hardware, but a lot of flaws seem to come out of SPARC systems.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pick a reasonably capable microcontroller and learn that.

thestringpuller: so with a strike price of 110
BingoBoingo: benkay: Just writing a blogging web ap for myself that I can confirm isn't running on x86
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well As a hobby project I'm thinking of setting up a webserver and running the blog off of it. Basically rewriting the parts of wordpress I like and letting the rest die in a fire, perhaps literally http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2013/10/14/a-proper-barrel-fire-a-secure-way-to-dispose-of-data-storage/
asciilifeform: it's a serious time commitment; not for everyone.
asciilifeform: got a pile of these alphas right here.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Well Inaba is also full of scam as well. When scam prevents adequate blood flow of course Inaba will only be able to offer Garr a limp and flexible member.
benkay: ThickAsThieves: setting up a panacea PT yet?
nubbins`: ah, but does he have a webcam?
kakobrekla: the kid is a idiot scammer

Duffer1: it's not a booky site, just straight up bets
pankkake: perhaps you're looking at a bet that is soon to be ending?

Vexual: thats a lot of blank dvds
benkay: bringing some light to that "somehow" is the sort of thing one'd expect a 'journalist' to do.

ThickAsThieves: forbes guy coulda at least gave the chan a shoutout sheesh
ThickAsThieves: "On top of all that, this isn't like trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Midday Wednesday, MPEx appeared to shut down, and the prices of the contracts disappeared. I was told this happens a lot. As of early Thursday, the exchange still wasn't listing prices. "
ThickAsThieves: "You can't currently do that with bitcoins. All of the bitcoin options and futures contracts are settled in bitcoins. This is a very bad deal."
Vexual: I was told this happens a lot.
benkay: "you can totally short bitcoins profitably - it just takes a lot of money to make it reasonably profitable. ergo, bitcoins r tardfodder."
pankkake: a bitcoin class, why not? there's already on for starcraft http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/01/uc-berkeley-int/

asciilifeform: but to run a network with heterogeneous workfunctions.
mike_c: asciilifeform said the nsa has a plant that does it
KRS|gotyawallet: mike_c: not the U.S.. I mean, have you known the U.S. to get anything done in a matter of weeks?
mike_c: like you said, governments can crank out a new asic in a matter of weeks..

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're sitting on a warehouse full of fpga.
mircea_popescu: davout the main difference between options and futures is that a correctly implemented future allows physical delivery,
benkay: i'd like to see a shor-resistant cryptocurrency.
benkay: if you really want to understand options, write a pricing algo.
mike_c: at a higher price that is
davout: the way i understand it you can lose a lot but your profit is capped by the price at which you sell the option
davout: benkay: i've been working on my financial education a lot recently still lots to learn, but isn't it much more dangerous to write options than it is to buy them ?
davout: TomServo: it's not a pyramid scheme, it's a triangular opportunity
mircea_popescu: it's a prizzi!
mike_c: he's got all the bitcoins :) somebody would have to have all the fiat for it to be a ponzi.

ThickAsThieves: i thought the standard respinse IS it's a ponzi
mike_c: tough to be a ponzi without somebody running the whole thing.
TomServo: What's your standard response to "It's a ponzi!"?
