jborkl: There is
a instance of that going on right now
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the expectations you'd build on
a levy-strauss model are amply represented.
fiat500: ive noticed there is also
a cult of personality trend in the community
fiat500: if mean is the opposite of nice, i dont think it is
a useful metric in the world of finance
jborkl:
a rude crack head on the streets is worthless
mircea_popescu: it's
a mishmash of performance, sacrifice to the gods (and for the record most souls in btc have
a very shamanistical relarton to btc, their own "reputation" etc)
mircea_popescu: well whoever made the rejected ripple price bet based on ripplewhatever.com as
a price signal
mircea_popescu: i wonder if they have
a MPOE-PR said our stupiod idea sucks support group
jborkl: I don't know, maybe our special developer that dropped in
a minute ago helps out
jborkl: 6.7 million in funding - and you get
a 1000 hours of bitcoin community support
fiat500: they bought
a house or something
fiat500: jborkl: yes its by
a scammer isnt it?
ericmuyser: they're doing
a great job. they could build
a bot to slowly shave off their XRP, convert to BTC then into fiat and earn enough to pay back the VCs and still have
a valuation higher than all of btc o.o
jborkl: I read
a article last night that BTC startup incubator was being located here in my town
jborkl: fuck , either way I need to go find
a vc and tell them some stupid shit
jborkl: we will take over bitcoin - come vc just
a 100 mil or so
mircea_popescu: it was just
a case of "make some shit to pump, quick, quick, i got these vcs sorta interested"
jborkl: but I can not figure why
a ripple is worth more than 1/1000th of
a penny- if that
mircea_popescu: you know for
a fact that no more than X txs can ever occur ?
jborkl: Ripple destroy each other - there is
a ripple and
a anti-ripple
dub: luke is
a crazy scary person
jborkl: no, he will not. You do not understand - it is
a pointless conversation fiat500
Luke-Jr: fiat500: sounds like you just need to spend
a few months getting to know the trolls here :p
jcpham: bitfury's fpga rack used _a lot_ of power iirc
fiat500: Luke-Jr: out of curiosity, what makes this
a scam?
mircea_popescu: "yet another butthurt Bitcoin fraudster throws
a fit. come one, come all"
Luke-Jr: "MPOE-PR is
a representative of MPEX who also operate BitBet"
mircea_popescu: obviously enough,
a known liar will be publicly despised.
fiat500: theres 100btc there, so if it isnt them, someone
a) really believes in them and b) doesnt like you very much
Luke-Jr: or is it run by
a troll or something?
fiat500: ah, announced
a day before, giving people time to buy in
mircea_popescu: May 29 01:30:01 <fiat500>so many shitty neighborhoods didnt get fiber because the community was like "wtf we dont even have
a computer at home"
jcpham: i've lived in
a fale hut
peterl: US is
a third world shit-hole already?
mircea_popescu: jurov romania is actually
a net contributor to the eu.
truff1es: i def wouldnt want mp anywhere near politics, he'd just run things like
a dictatorship..
truff1es: yall sound like
a bunch of idealists..
truff1es: Rand Paul says
a few sane things and then its just wtf moments everytime
mircea_popescu: jurov wouldn't be the first time
a bunch of kids with no resources and no management fail to accomplish that which they could easily do, with resources and with management.
jurov: so you couln't find
a business owner in timisoara that accepts the ideas
truff1es: shouldnt some1 loose
a job if theyre is now
a hole in bridge?
peterl: take
a look in Detroit, it is
a nicely decaying city
jurov: jcpham, there is
a russian thread about "bitfury predzakazy" that means "preorders"
mircea_popescu: ericmuyser possible. i'd be muchly curious to see
a <1gh/w chip
ericmuyser: no but honestly I think he's got it, he'll announce within 2 days or has shared it with
a "respected" member
fiat500: "Thanks for pointing this out! We'll work on fixing this bug when we get
a change."
fiat500: so, re: the bug i discovered on coinbase earlier today, just got
a response from them
ericmuyser: just
a single russian dude getting his kicks
fiat500: especially in
a context outside the forum...
fiat500: one would think
a company producing millions of dollars worth of hardware would be above calling out trolls on forums in public
fiat500: yeah thats absolutely ridiculous, but even if they sold them at 0.1btc (what i think they're really worth) they would still make
a killing
fiat500: not
a bad move on their part
fiat500: so
a million of those would be 300TH/s total
ThickAsThieves: for example, I believe BFL claims they have
a few hundred boards coming in next week,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves perhaps. even so, in the mining market returns are made out of
a capital amortisation part and an actual return part
ThickAsThieves: i think the possibility that AM will be more than
a flash in the pan is quite real
fiat500: samsung OTOH /is/
a manufacturer
fiat500: apple's cost of producing
a phone is
a lot higher than foxconn's cost
ThickAsThieves: so you are saying AM is no different than
a GPU mining farm selling off it's used cards?
ThickAsThieves: has there ever been
a mining stock that sold hardware at retail?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves historically, every single mining stock was, in its heyday, "just not
a normal mining stock"
fiat500: mircea_popescu: this is bitcoin, everyone is amortising over
a period of time long enough such that cost is effectively 0
fiat500: true, but then why bother with basic at all, it becomes
a passthrough of
a passthrough

usagi: why dont you send me
a pm? :p
Chaang-Noi: and at the same time someone bought
a market buy of AM

a huge sell into the bids on bitvps i guess

a few years ago
usagi: It's
a WORA language running in
a VM that is portable across anythig that is worth owning
Diablo-D3:
a very minimal js syntax that basically illustrates
a vm bytecode
