ThickAsThieves: he also likes idea of
a super-majority consensus to decide new featyures
pankkake:
a French newspaper said bitcoins were "created by the mysterious bitcoin foundation"
mircea_popescu: or, alternatively, "so that nsa budget is relieved
a little"
ThickAsThieves: Luke - No, but give community
a way to vote, Liz - No, but we all know gavin works at the foundation
ThickAsThieves: Should the foundation have
a role in Bitcoin software dev?
pankkake: there's worse than showing bfl hardware: showing
a baby
dub: why has luke photoshopped himself over
a pic of some mining gear
ThickAsThieves: i tried to make an account at btc foundation's website, it says i get
a confirmation email, but never arrived
pankkake: even if you can have instant access to the correct information, it is drowned in
a sea of misinformation, or just stupid useless content
Duffer1: insurance reform passed by
a democrat only vote
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 are you kidding me ? socialised medicine passed by
a joint vote.
dexX7: kakobrekla: well, i'm able to parse bitstamp/btct data into
a format that can be imported as historical data into nt, but it would be neat if i could submit trades via ninjatrader
dub: Bitcoin Foundation
a Final Solution
dub: its .99 of
a yottahash
pankkake: does ninjatrader except
a standard API?
Duffer1: i find it shocking that
a movement like the tea party could even exist in the INFORMATION age
ThickAsThieves: any suggestion of diet has ike
a 90% chance of being better than the average american's current one
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: Yeah, well I wasn't looking for
a long term relationship. I was on TV.
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: Well, I'm not saying that! You know, things are going pretty well for me here. I met
a girl...
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: What do you want me to say? That the things haven't worked out the way that I planned? That I'm struggling, barely able to keep my head above water? That L.
A. is
a cold place even in the middle of the summer? That it's
a lonely place even when your stuck in traffic at the Hollywood Freeway? That I'm no better than
a screenwriter driving
a cab,
a starlet turning tricks,
a producer in
a house he can't afford? Is
dexX7: someone is playing with
a 10k ask wall :p
reeses: but if some idjit, who is obviously not one of us ;>, were to try to string
a skinny wire from china to paris, and run DC over it, they would not have
a great success for the people
reeses: so it goes maybe
a few hundred km
reeses: benkay: ohm's law, baby. Resistance is
a bitch.
gribble: (google <search> [--{filter,language} <value>]) -- Searches google.com for the given string. As many results as can fit are included. --language accepts
a language abbreviation; --filter accepts
a filtering level ('active', 'moderate', 'off').
reeses: except via
a storage medium, à la oil
dexX7: there
a lot of options out there with
a shifted digit
mircea_popescu: but that's really besides the point. mooching isnt
a business plan.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 it's
a false idea that chinese dc has no power cost.
mircea_popescu: power up the board for
a time, see how much of it burns
dexX7: yup, but that's not all also. it's obviously
a huge difference if you deploy your rigs in.. say
a chinese datacentre with almost no power cost instead of running
a miner somewhere in europa in your living room
mircea_popescu: here's
a set of fun facts : in
a 16 core chip which has 14 blown cores it is likely the blown cores are powered anyway.
mircea_popescu: the quality of the design is probably
a degree of magnitude more important for performance
dexX7: depends. i think there is
a wide range between "not profitable" and "profitable", especially you can't pin this down to transistor size
mircea_popescu: (risk can be mitigated
a lot if you have
a very well connected node, by blasrting your withheld block just as soon as anyone relays
a competitor.
MilkyLep: Could they have found the block, and there been
a delay in broadcasting the block/reward on the blockchain?
dexX7: it would be
a somewhat stronger soft-argument, if the last found block was found only
a few minutes before their announcement, but that's not the case
Duffer1:
a mining address that can prove at least 1.5th will have the stock price back to 4 in no time
dexX7: you have
a point. i usually say "if you spot manipulation, be happy about it and adjust"
MilkyLep: I would make your btc then step back for
a day
dexX7: due to the volume and constant high volatility it's
a dream to trade, but the recent sell-off made me almost crazy, not because i lost (i didn't), but i fear i start to see things, that aren't not necessarily there (i.e. "it's coordinated manipulation") etc. and this makes it way more unpredictable, at least for me
MilkyLep: Good ole labcoin, always good for
a laugh
MilkyLep: What good is
a mining address? You cant point bare chips and boards to an address :p
MilkyLep: Whats the reason as of now? Just woke up
a bit ago
gribble: Error: "bc,nethash" is not
a valid command.
reeses: so did
a lot of companies (SGI, etc.) but they still got hosed
mircea_popescu: so fucking hell. sony made half
a billion. it does everything, from chips to being
a total IP asshole conclave.
pankkake: it's
a line in, not thought for mics
mircea_popescu: reeses be
a darling leave the link as
a comment ? will ye ?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's one thing to tell girls they prolly have
a great body under the bikini. quite another to cold call people's reading.
reeses: then picked
a couple semi-plausible ones that clients would scratch their heads
mircea_popescu: anyway, seriously, if you ever go bankrupt and everything you should probably start
a voicing career.
reeses: it's
a bs generator ;>
mircea_popescu: benkay old timer, got mostly cleanned out by smart investment long before asicminer was
a glimmer in its daddy's eye
mircea_popescu: i distinctly recall
a buncha romanian dorks being so fucking impressed with hennessy they put it on their song
mircea_popescu: the email came from
a screenshot in the link. it found me all the guy's emails.
reeses: well, in my neighborhood,
a lot of poseur gangsta types smoke brown-wrapped cigarillo-type stinkmakers
mircea_popescu: reeses i wrote
a thing and of all the irc people you're possibly the only one misanthropic enough to read it well.
Namworld: I recall
a sci-fi servers with guns and etc.
Namworld: Unless in
a protected land, you could pretty much build/destroy anything.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this will probably have
a npc-ish town in the sense that it's likely the first one will be made by me, but i don't intend for that arrangement to be permanent.
pankkake: for good measure it should be
a fractional reserve PT
bobbabad: mirca should do
a pt of lolcoin
dexX7: tat should do
a pt
pankkake: it's just
a way to test actually believe what they're saying
dexX7: pankkake: is there
a bet for lab?
toffoo: but 0.48% of that goes into
a jackpot,
toffoo: but I've been thinking about it and it's really only
a 1% edge,
toffoo: Namworld that's
a typical thing to say,
Namworld: What does
a low number even do?
Namworld: "American corn fuel" is such
a big fail
jurov: mircea_popescu: pls have
a look to withdrawals first
mircea_popescu: if i were teaching
a nuclear physics class the next assignment would be,
