Vexual: theres half a chance hell mint the best sha chip
asciilifeform: yah, a standard, like EBCDIC.
mircea_popescu: github is a standard now ?
Vexual: if you want to spend a months fucking around with usb sticks, makes some with writable cids, you'll sell more
mircea_popescu: we've not done a serious scrubbing yet.
mircea_popescu: right, cause that should include a .sh in there. but anyway, when you get to it.
bloctoc: yes, this morning. I'm not on a linux machine at the moment. I'll try again in the morning, just not into troubleshooting just right now. I'll let you know how it goes with greyhawk.
bloctoc: can't find install instructions in the readme for one. after finding launch.sh from a post months ago, it crashes on some missing dependency but I didn't see a list of deps in the readme I'm not asking for help, just answering the question. I'm sure greyhawk will be there once I get the thing running.
pankkake: yeah. at least I learned a bit more about that lib
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho. "what do you mean we're not sucking these p[eople's cocks enough, and the solution is for all the "people" to spend a lot more time on their hands and knees worshipping them ?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: Not everyone in technology wants to flee, though. Catherine Bracy, director of community organizing at Code for America, criticized this genre of thinking as reflecting a simple lack of exposure by many Valley engineers: “Most of them aren’t confronted with or don’t have an understanding of most problems regular people are facing. If they had to collect food stamps or ride the bus or send their kid to public scho
mircea_popescu: romanian haterz have a history of calling me that.
asciilifeform: point is, some things you don't prevent, you just live with them - and try to set up a world where they aren't especially tempting.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It seems you avoid MIRV ICBM packages by living somewhere boring, but not too much so. A lot of missiles are still in Kansas and Montana.
skinnkavaj: I am a qualified Anti Troll Combat Specalist
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Yeah he and MPOE-PR can be replaced by a bot
pankkake: skinnkavaj: it's a bot I wrote, aimed at replacing mircea_popescu entirely. so far it only has a few triggers
kakobrekla: a 350th rehash of the matter
skinnkavaj: pankkake: What a waste of time. You only have to spend 30 minutes of reading to understand that it is both centralised and premined. And if you still think it's good, I will not even bother to argue with you. Then I really have to declare you retarded.
pircea_momescu: pankkake litecoin is a scam !
pankkake: but the real question, is litecoin a scam

pankkake: a good thing to do is to try to understand why are things that way
mircea_popescu: that's what the dollar is, a sort of ltc.
KRS1: everyone has an opinion..mine is that the hype will die off and it will slowly die to under a buck and stay there for years
mircea_popescu: skinnkavaj dude stop drowning yourself in words. if you think ltc will go up as high as 0.04 btc, you can take the 10:1 odds against on that bet and make out like a pirate.
pankkake: it moved a few times between .008 BTC and 0.012 BTC if I'm not mistaken
pankkake: I guess you could use btc-e as a source, it has both exchangeable to fiat
pankkake: another issue is that you don't need a lot of volume to make those things move (perhaps restrict to a minimum volume)
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Put a bet up, first to go up 5x in value from today. Bitcoin or Litecoin?
asciilifeform: there's a bit of a general-purpose lesson here...
asciilifeform: "This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space. If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today."
asciilifeform: forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand thousand or more
asciilifeform: with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the
asciilifeform: "Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts
asciilifeform: somebody crapped out a 'standard' for it
nubbins`: yeah, there's a wikipedia written in simple english
nubbins`: now there's an idea for a poster
mircea_popescu: "I hope that the person who won the auction make available for the community part of the chips from reel at a reasonable price.
mircea_popescu: and then i could make a bitbet about it
asciilifeform: when i read these pitches, i can't help but recall: "...Filtration System A Marvel to Behold! It Removes Eighty Percent of Human Solid Waste!" ☟︎☟︎

pankkake: no, but I'm a vim user
asciilifeform: you don't get a second set of limbs
pankkake: perhaps as a Shift key
asciilifeform: i've got a nice set here
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: foreplay here would be the learning. then a lifetime of, well, full throttle.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, this is also why ipads are doomed as a serious technology. no right click ? fu.)
mircea_popescu: yeah. loss of fine motor control as a result of inervation of the gross motor pathways.
asciilifeform: (what happens to a touch screen user, that is.)

mircea_popescu: i think it has a major ux flaw.
pankkake: I always wanted a theremin. it's not that expensive either
mircea_popescu: i think the sort of macro stability you want here may take a little more than a few months.
mike_c: ok. i will come back and try again in a few months
mircea_popescu: well no, problem branches in a different direction now.
mircea_popescu: this is a recipe for disaster.
mircea_popescu: in a heavily mommentum traded by vastly the incompetent and clueless, on very little actgual capital
mircea_popescu: a week later, the price doubles. you get exercised. you obtain say 650 btc back.
mircea_popescu: let's take a case, as a for instance. you write 1000 calls @200, deposit 1000 btc.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: i want to make one more push for announcing option exercises to assbot. it is the only way to know two things: 1) open interest 2) excercise costs. otherwise it's just a big mystery when/if the option holders are excercising and, not that mpex would ever make a mistake, there is no way for me to verify the excercise costs.
mircea_popescu: and the 2nd doc is the registration paperwork of the panama fund thing. the first is a list.
pankkake: good point! here is a fix https://coinbr.com/ref?c=V1CUawCMeE
nubbins`: as if i'd follow a referral link that says "fuk u" at the end! ;)
pankkake: but the broken has a mermaid
ozbot: [Havelock] The Panama Fund, S.A. Acquires HavelockInvestments.com
mike_c: the rate of change of the underlying is not even a factor in option pricing.
mike_c: 0.12 does not represent much volatitlity at all. even 0.2 is a great buy
kakobrekla: nanotube i just want to have the mans to point to a specific user to user action, could also be done in a way that log.bitcoin-assets works (with the hash tag in the url to jump & highlight a specific line)
mike_c: which means it's a shell corp, no?
mike_c: if that's accurate, the directors are on the board of a ton of companies.
mike_c: for inspiration, last month people who bought my options made 28%. that's damn near 1% a day. price dropped.
mike_c: i heard a rumor there were smart investors in this channel
mike_c: unless a smart investor picks them up
mircea_popescu: for most of my infancy i was a curly blond haired kid with blue eyes
mircea_popescu: nubbins` unbelievable as this may sound, i was a much cuter kid.
pankkake: a real-life barney stinson?
mircea_popescu: people have pix of me @seaside hanging out with da nudist bitchez in a suit
mircea_popescu: nubbins` actually i'll do you better : it's not that i've never worn a shirt, it's that i've always worn a suit.
nubbins`: mp may be the only man who has (a) never had a job and (b) never worn a t-shirt
mircea_popescu: i'm not a job. never had a job in my life.
nubbins`: then EVERYTHING is a string
kakobrekla: yeah but hes a nutjob
mircea_popescu: anyway it'll be funny when it gets to ver's 300k btc. i never met someone with millions in their pocket go nuts over a 5 btc mispayment or whatever that was last summer.
deadweasel: unless he was hit by a bus...
jurov: is he a trolltalk treasurer as well? maybe i can win the bet at last :P
