ThickAsThieves: that's my best guesstimate from what i've read at least...
ThickAsThieves: I think BFL will deliver maybe 25% of orders in early march and fill all orders by April, ASICMINER will go online next weekend, and Avalons will trickle out very slowly starting at the end of the month

ThickAsThieves: i kidding
Bowjob: Okay, not start with 'I' but close enough
Bowjob: Tradefortress made a topic that has an starts with "I" in the in the topic title, I don't think mp would make a blunder like that

Bowjob: I cant see the bets
Bowjob: since he's always wrong well, i bet hes wrong again
Bowjob: 22.80 i mean
mircea_popescu: well, the only way to prove it is if i say so, or else if they find a cleartext stat.
mircea_popescu: but still i guess the damage could be well limited.
error4733: but i think for all those detail before bought my share
error4733: i'm in the same boat
Schadenfreude: Well, obviously I was more worried as shareholder - no dividends, price tanking etc.
mircea_popescu: Schadenfreude it needs some maintenance, obviously, but i don't think erik is involved in that himself
mircea_popescu: i think he prolly will.
Chaang-Noi: i asked a question, thanks ukto
Ukto: I poked someone in ripple to talk in #ripple
Chaang-Noi: i use no script, i guess that is why it is not working for me.
Chaang-Noi: using JS and i can get hacked?
Ukto: I will get it ready for alpha release
Ukto: once I get done with my current project
Ukto: which is why I started making my client last month
maximian: pigeons: I received your trust 0.25 BTC event, how do I reciprocate?
Chaang-Noi: i do not unerstand how they got around the double spend issue unless either it is centralized, or they have a block chain
Chaang-Noi: oh, i did not know that could be done
mircea_popescu: i guess it needs js or java or something ?
maximian: mircea_popescu: I just setup a wallet at ripple.com
pigeons: give me your address and i'll give you some
maximian: I've got an open mind about it, and I'd like to try it, buy I can't get any of these XRPs to transact with
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we see what time brings to it.
mircea_popescu: i thought that was more akin some sort of demurage implementation
mircea_popescu: in some contexts i see less expensive and my brain reads cheap.
mircea_popescu: i wonder why it being less expensive is a good thing.
maximian: My understanding is that the proof-of-work method of synchronizing nodes is a real breakthrough in distributed computing, and I'm wondering how consensus stacks up against that.
pigeons: i am not familair with consensus or this ripple implementation. i am just saying proof of work is far from proven
mircea_popescu: i would think there would be yes.
Ukto: so I can get this done
Ukto: I am gonna try to code
pigeons: i wouldnt say proven, and it remains to be seen if proof of work will hold when subsidy is gone
maximian: I suppose I don't mean proven in the mathematical sense.
mircea_popescu: so noboduy admits to having specced it i take it ?
Ukto: [22:38] <Ukto> Since I have the server source
Ukto: Since I have the server source, etc, I have a very deep understanding of exactly how it works
Ukto: I have told them to change it
Ukto: I agree
vampireb: i agree, the website is so confusing.
mircea_popescu: i've had enough of this for now, my brain is rippling.
vampireb: i dont think ripple is much more different than a bitcoin, and that's just fragmenting the market..
Ukto: honestly, I think they want it to replace payment services
Ukto: I said okay
Ukto: I am jsut a gateway
mircea_popescu: i still don't know why i'd use it. why'd i use it ?
coingenuity: and only 1 out of ALL the genders i asked didn't know what bitcoin was
coingenuity: to make it interesting, i basically only asked women if i could
coingenuity: that the vast majority of strangers i asked would know what bitcoin was
coingenuity: to that end, when i was at defcon, i had a standing bet
mircea_popescu: coingenuity i was thinking oh, the man drinks ?
Ukto: I coudl have written that better. oh well
Bugpowder: I am going to have a lot of
BitHub: yeah, i can see that
Ukto: In fact, after some dsicussions, I venture to say that the last 30 days, has been the largest influx of new cash into exchanges in such a short period ever for bitcoin
mircea_popescu: Ukto i know.
vampireb: i sold just a PI for 3BTC, that's over $70 now
vampireb: if i sell something that i bought for USD.. i dont need to recalc the price 10x time a day.. I wouldnt do that for EUR
mircea_popescu: vampireb i see your point re stable rates.
vampireb: i cant type. :/
Ukto: I have been contacted by a number of 'normal' investors
vampireb: i dont know, it rose too quickly. i prefer stable rates.. then the rate that change every day by like 10%
vampireb: bitcoin shouldnt be 22.. now... now like i complain..
Ukto: I use btc for btc
Ukto: I dont trade
mircea_popescu: Ukto i won't sell, for instance. i don;t care what it is tbh.
mircea_popescu: i imagine the reason eskimoblob is a jerk is because nobody asked him to stop befoar.
mircea_popescu: "Please stop being a jerk, EskimoBob." evoorhees is so cute i swear
Chaang-Noi: ukto i think you might be right, no one is selling! once it hits 30ish you see it crashing a bit?
