A New Element : The Two-Way : NPR
ThickAsThieves: "BACKERS INCLUDE
A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN REPORTED AS MISSING SINCE 2011"
ThickAsThieves: “We had
a board meeting which put together
a small research group, tasked with making an initial assessment of business opportunities in the fledgling digital currency area. The team presented its report in early January, and the report identified the digital currencies as
a potential area of disruptive technological breakthroughs, and
a very promising investment opportunity.”

mircea_popescu: the move from ~4 to 3.5 was
a good 15% sliced offa there.
Rulother: I have
a couple of singles to get money for, I'm not letting that go so easily. Nor do I let money just go to waste.

a big movement to get
a class action lawsuit going
ystarnaud: you can get
a refund through
a painful process if you used paypal i think...
ThickAsThieves: "Price of BFL Single: $2499 for 50Ghs. Price for 5x AM blades: 3.5btc x 5 x 130 = $2275 for 50Ghs. Every single BFL device that has been pre-ordered just got undercut. I would expect nearly every rational actor with
a BFL preorder to cancel immediately. Friedcat just bankrupted them."
mircea_popescu: here's an open secret : bitcoin is much like south africa back when it worked, an apartheid system. forumers, redditors and co are 2nd class citizens. we don't give
a shit about them.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is appointed in
a chat log in the first place. am i missing something ?
mircea_popescu: que burnside explaining how he had
a lot of respect for mpoe-pr
mircea_popescu: ystarnaud certainly
a good back-up to have just in case.
ystarnaud: i see it as
a good alternative to BTC

a few weeks ago... (cant remember exact numbers but around those...) LTC was 2.4USD... BTC 96 USD... you had

a ratio of 0.0204LTC/BTC
matuszed: The diff for ltc was
a 100 in April
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is one of those markets, like television, where being #1 pays. being #2 maybe can be made stable if you cut corners. the rest however is
a money black hole.
mircea_popescu: San1ty-Work
a company once imploded over this exact problem.
dexX7: 51 % is the absolutely worst case, but the double spending problem is fluent. if you didn't read it already, i highly recomment to do so:
https://bitcoil.co.il/Doublespend.pdf - it's not about "does one have enough hashing power" but "would it be ev+ with the current hashing power to try
a double spend"
gecko_x2: not even with gen2.. for
a longer time than ppl expect
ThickAsThieves: while it wont be
a monthly schedule, yes AM has already made clear they intend to add at least 800-1000TH to the nethash over the next 3mos
gecko_x2: will all the asic miners collectively be able to add 50%
a month?
gecko_x2: San1ty-Work just simply they had
a monopoly, and now competition is springing up from all over the place
San1ty-Work: gecko_x2: Atleast have
a reasoning behind it...
ThickAsThieves: i am willing to put my money behind
a bet, this is how we sort out confident opinions from mindless delusion for
a lesser co like labcoin
ThickAsThieves: so, "realistically" speaking, Labcoin might have half
a percent of the network in
a month
gecko_x2: oh they would 'analyze' the pics and return with
a barrage of
a thousand new questions
gecko_x2: sending out pics of your daily work to thousands of hysterical forum trolls is not the best way to ensure
a peaceful work environment
dexX7: two weeks are
a long time
dexX7: why in
a few hours?
gecko_x2: it's gonna skyrocket in
a few hours
jurov: Those that talk about “the New World Order” in
a “derogatory” manner...oh my
bobbabad: annoying to have these people "fronting"
a project rather then the actual owners
bobbabad: theswede is
a clown at doing PR
jborkl: It was on that shitty rag of
a bit coin mewspaper
userioao: can you post
a link to where you saw they talk about 40th chips
Duffer1: they're trying to pass off
a group buy for 3x market value
jborkl: I just wrote
a better business plan than some of these ipos
jborkl: Well I am going to make
a 11nm chip that runs at 5ph , so game over bitches
mircea_popescu: but
a serious, multi-million mask made for 28nm is better than
a rushed 65nm whatever.
mircea_popescu: so it wouldn't be
a 28nm that's 100x better than 65nm per se
mircea_popescu: anyway, has anyone even done
a sum of all promised hashing this year ? just for lulz if nothing else.
mircea_popescu: it's not as much
a list of what the govt perceives as threaths, as
a list of pats on the back for
a bunch of old people that indeed someone still gives
a shit
dub: I run
a jdm ecu and decat system to maximise emissions
Rulother-pc_: Yeah then you get to pay
a tag fee and an ad volorum tax
Rulother-pc_: In my state, you have to get your emissions tested for you car once
a year, every year before your birthday month
Namworld: Which is why I got
a good bunch of BTC not tied anywhere
kakobrekla: he doesnt stand out since scammyness is on
a rise back to the glbse levels
kakobrekla: Diablo-D3
a bunch of people on this chan has
Diablo-D3: its probably just
a troll persona created by some scammer
AndrewJackson: Tried to stop them getting
a hold . but alas i did
VanCleef: i think asicminer is
a scam i get the feeling friedcat isn't his real name
Namworld: ThickAsThieves: of course he's
a beast, he's
a fucking dark templar. (look at profile pic)
VanCleef:
a marketplace made up of many differnt types of sick, demented animals
pankkake: anyone not being
a narcissist hates themselves anyway
pankkake: as
a narcissist, I take it as
a compliment
mircea_popescu: but isn't calling someone
a narcissist more like
a compliment ?
ThickAsThieves: "Mircea Popescu is
a narcissistic windbag. Stop giving him your attention."
