Diablo-D3: I dont do apple either, but I needed one for software dev reasons
Chaang-Noi: i dont do apple
Diablo-D3: and the reason I say ext4 over ext3 is ext3 isn't optimized for TRIM
Chaang-Noi: ill get an ssd i guess, hell i might as well by a new laptop
Diablo-D3: so I assume mint can as well
Chaang-Noi: oh lol what, i cant just used a standart install of mint 13 or 14?
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: I said multiple ALU
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: I didnt say multiple cores.
Chaang-Noi: so when i load the OS just do full disk on a ssd and im fine?
Chaang-Noi: i liketo use encrypted drives, and i know SSD sucks for encryption safety
BingoBoingo: The old 0.7.2+ would probably load fastest on an i7 because BDB doesn't parallelize well, 0.8.X and later on an AMD chip I imagine; an SSD makes a bigger bifference than any processor though
Chaang-Noi: lets assume i use 0.8.2 or whatever the newest btc is
pigeons: ok no more rapidshare or megaupload where do i put a spreadsheet
BingoBoingo: I was just thinking Germany tried to tell people how to bank three times and then they started hiding behind Belgium...
mircea_popescu: heh. i guess maybe im deluding myself.
mircea_popescu: ya well... i do like how the price of exposing scams is going down
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I do like how accessing his books costs a full share...
BingoBoingo: pigeons I might have noticed, the question seems to be how special...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu Do they sell silver that small or is there a swing people aren't showing... Coinabul shows 0.5 BTC for an once of silver... I think Usagi is awfully bullish or lubed numbers up to extract them from a convenient place
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I think you flipped it, silver is closer to $28/oz last I checed TU.silver had asks at 0.14BTC/Share for an ambiguous definition of share...
mircea_popescu: i thought from what you said there's actually liquidity in options mkt
mircea_popescu: so can i buy 1k puts on that thing atm ?
mircea_popescu: so unless someone is willing to reserve a shitton of btc i can't buy my puts ?
Namworld: It must be deposited and put aside by Bitfunder. I trust Ukto, not the put seller
mircea_popescu: Namworld suppose i buy 1k worth of silver pseudoasset puts
Namworld: I CAN FINALLY SHORT WHAT I WANT!
Namworld: Perfect when I expect price movements
Namworld: I love these new options. I can finally buy for a fraction shares rights to buy/sell something.
Namworld: I don’t care. I got puts on it. I’d exercise them with my TU.SILVER
mircea_popescu: i'd sell an indefinite ammount of anything usagi makes at its nominal value.
pigeons: "The only thing I ask is that, since this is a paid service, you not share the data in public (i.e. in a forum post) or something like that."
Chaang-Noi: i was able to sell 5kshares and buy about 3k shares with little trouble
mircea_popescu: anyway, bgupta, point in case. when i say "mismanaged into the ground" this is exactly what i mean.
Chaang-Noi: i understand mp, and i think some have less risk than others, but im going to pass. i think i can make more money buying and selling them. thanks for the offer however.
mircea_popescu: that's a sad indictment of the various exchanges i guess
Chaang-Noi: having the stocks stored with a 3rd party adds more risk, and i dont think that risk is worth the 1% i would get
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi you can pick the venue for all i care.
Chaang-Noi: i trust friedcat a lot, some of the exchanges, not as much
mircea_popescu: anyway, 6 months, 1% per month over dividends paid, we'll have to lock it to an exchange as i don't deal in vapour
mircea_popescu: nah actually i made btc on that deal.
Chaang-Noi: i dont know about last time
mircea_popescu: something similar to last time i'd guess
mircea_popescu: i've been promised shares to short for what, two weeks now.
Chaang-Noi: i have traded 5000 shares alone in the last 2 weeks
Namworld: Oh, sorry, I thought another block from owners were dumped or something
Chaang-Noi: and i was not there much, only cuz i new the core group in real life
mircea_popescu: pretty much nobody left there, i mean past month or so i beebn asking friends i knew used to be huge sa buffs
Chaang-Noi: god damn i feel old
Chaang-Noi: ahh, i half expected to see an SA site
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi not in any conventional sense i don't think
mircea_popescu: yeah i dont see it either
Chaang-Noi: i did hear tehy started to open up mangostean in the usa a few years ago,
pigeons: ah i see, googling
Chaang-Noi: i dont know about that but its damn hard to get in the usa
mircea_popescu: hahaha i knew it
Chaang-Noi: no, i live in a good fruit growing region, and he is able and willing to work lopng hours to take care of the trees
pigeons: i was joking, you're wife asked you to loan money to her friend a dude?
kakobrekla: i have seen people turn on you for 100$
Chaang-Noi: yeah, i dont like lending out money... wife twisted my arm to lend $400 to one of her friends for 2 weeks. im still pissed
Namworld: I wouldn’t mind more funds.
Chaang-Noi: i hope the knowledge is shared:)
pigeons: haha i like how right in the contract on btct.co it says, "We have an exclusive arrangement with BitFunder to support BitFunder as a platform. We will not trade on any other exchange until August 2013."
mircea_popescu: say what you will of people, sheep, stupidity, what have you... in this case at least i can find no flaw.
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/w3p5sxK.png << cancel transation
mircea_popescu: i suspect usagi has a future as a stand-up comedian pretending to be a btc finance guy
Chaang-Noi: well then who cares, i can offer gold at $5000 :)
mircea_popescu: that i never end up being smart enough to take.
mircea_popescu: no, i was just being honest. there's all these great deals offered all the time (especialyl in the lending section)
pigeons: i assume
Namworld: [00:27] <mircea_popescu> honestly, it sucks, but what can i do.
Namworld: [00:27] <mircea_popescu> yeah. i keep missing out on lots of hot btc deals because i am not smart enough
mircea_popescu: this is like... why am i not cutting my own hair.
pigeons: i think so
mircea_popescu: can i short this thing anywhere ?
pigeons: your points are interesting in and of themselves and I'm sure once you get on track with how we operate you will understand it.
mircea_popescu: honestly, it sucks, but what can i do.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i keep missing out on lots of hot btc deals because i am not smart enough
pigeons: i cant even follow that stuff
mircea_popescu: "I've been an "IT" person all my life and I have no idea how I missed out on things like buying Google or Apple. Bitcoin seems to be my last chance. Any tips would be appreciated."
mircea_popescu: i'd mine at a pool that specifically never upgrades.
Chaang-Noi: im not selling what i hold at these prices, however with btc being $60 im sure some people want to cash out
Chaang-Noi: yeah i did an extra 0 i need my coffee
mircea_popescu: i hought the plan was to increase % iof total hash
pigeons: i missed the context of that one
mircea_popescu: i think at the time it was like .5 btc bid .8 btc ask
staco: i could be wrong, but I thought the bot sold them
mircea_popescu: i think the bot bought
BitHub: anyway, i've just noticed its poor, lonely people who are really desperate for female companionship
BitHub: i'm just pass that point, cant do that normal shit
mircea_popescu: yea well, let's just say i'm a lucky sort. haven't been outgunned yet.
mircea_popescu: when i wish to pay whores i'll say.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I argue that, just as it is better to have a wife who doesn't cheat, it is also good to not be hated. especially if this can be accomplished at reasonable cost.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if I'm not mistaken, it sums up your political angle nicely.
assbot: I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.
mircea_popescu: and that mumbairite can always drop by and say hi. especially if she has nice legs and a thick ass i'll be interested.
asciilifeform: smickles: I suppose I spoiled it already for everyone who hasn't.
smickles: i have seen the film
mircea_popescu: and it's also why i laugh at silly notions such as midnightmagic's "progress"
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with it, either. i think it's perfect
BitHub: there is shit stuff of course you have to look out for but i only get the best pirated stuff
