BingoBoingo: Ademan: Prolly because it was a one trick pony
gribble: MtGox lag is 1.716643 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.00344013335151 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin from Jupiter to its third largest moon, Io (0.002819 AU).
BingoBoingo: I just like the match up where even though Anand is defending the title, his challenger has a manager and staff such that Anand seemed the underdog going into this in the popular narrative. Very Rocky III like.

pankkake: this is why I don't have a "smart" anything
pankkake: "It sounds like the premise of a Philip K. Dick story" wait, what?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I liken that sort of stuff to the people who support Elliptic curve cryptography because the short keys let minimalist embeded smartcard hardware carry out thousands of operations a second as opposed to hundreds for RSA with appropriately long keys.

truffles: "Unconfirmed bets are not refunded. Kindly see FAQ, and include tx fees next time. Think of the miners!" >>> as a gambler id be pissed if it was 10 cent
pankkake: bascially he used "bets of bitcoin" like a web wallet?
mike_c: "I understand that it's hard not to take it personally when you've lost BTC, but no, seriously, if you're into BTC I think it'd be great if you spent the time and the energy (this isn't "condescension", again; it takes a lot of time and energy, far more than most people are used to expending, to wisely and correctly handle Bitcoin"

mircea_popescu: a link in the thread of gold made me re-read the log here.
nubbins`: could work through it to a point by replacing it with a traditional gcc, but that just creates more problems later
mircea_popescu: if it still won't work, at least it definitely won't work in a different way
mircea_popescu: and there's a huge code returmoilizing going on atm so i think after this is stabilized.
nubbins`: yeah, had trouble compiling that one, figured i'd give the new one a shot if it was around
mircea_popescu: nubbins` there is a source published but i think slightly older
pankkake: kakobrekla: also "Any respected member of the community can get a free trial, provided they give a rating afterwards (good or bad)."

pankkake: he's probably going to offer you to buy him out a bit later
nubbins`: is it a new age of growing weed, too?
nubbins`: a new age :0
mircea_popescu: Sue me. I could do with the discovery documents. A new age of bitcoin has come. People like you need to get out. But you will be held accountable in the end. Scum
mircea_popescu: "Thieves seldom prosper. You had to buy your trust. You have to rip people off at your betting site (don't say you're not connected) and your exchance is a ponzi, money laundering scheme. You literally can't do anything honestly."
mircea_popescu: if only you could have made a forum thread about it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla make a forum thread ?
kakobrekla: hold on a sec my blockchain just crashed
thestringpuller: I don't thing people there give a shit at this point
thestringpuller: a grow log app **
nubbins`: hey, a grow log

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla I would suggest finding out the details of who owns Bitbet and threatening a suit if they don't return the BTC.

mircea_popescu: so now he's organising a boycott and spamming bitbet comments.

mircea_popescu: Before Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) addressed his colleagues about Bitcoin Tuesday, he did what any person in power who's a little confused about a complicated should do.
mircea_popescu: as if there ever existed a twitterho that'd have eschewed linking their 50 follower twitter account to that announcement.

When the projected budget went past $200 million, financing collapsed, despite pre-production expenditure of $20 million. Instead of collecting his “play-or-pay” $15 million, Schwarzenegger asked for all rights to the script in the hope that one day he could get it made.
asciilifeform: current design draft has a toggle that converts the unit into a pure rng
deadweasel: selling a standalone usb rng would be a little too niche to market, i guess?
asciilifeform: jurov: unlike, say, the 'IBM 4764' mysterymeatbag, physical tamper resistance is explicitly not a goal.
jurov: i only see a discussion that rng may be sealed.. nothing more concrete
thestringpuller: hmm i couldn't find a havelock bet so I made onee

ThickAsThieves: just let me keep a backup of it

mircea_popescu: i couldn't start a fire if i wanted to.
