mircea_popescu: ya well, that's the thing. takes
a lot of brains to be rich and bored in the end.
BitHub: i'm pretty sure i would be dead within

a year
mircea_popescu: asicminer has
a 10ish being delivered and making another 20-50
zefir: 0.9 is tempting for
a quick buck i must say. but if bitcoin as
a whole takes of (like is currently doing) long term, holding some asicminer could be your retirement ;)
BitHub: is there going to be
a new primeasic thing?
zefir: Goat, people seem to expect ASICMINER to continue paying 2 cents dividends per week for
a year, which is
a bit of too much confidence imho
midnightmagic: mrb_ came in one time and started talking about something he'd heard existed:
a preimage-like attack on the hashing algo which allowed
a 2x speedup algorithmically, to any miner implementing it.
Bowjob: It seems
a crazy idea to me.. that might just work
midnightmagic: "What is it?" "Don't know, every time we plug it in it keeps trying to connect to
a weird IP address and port.."
midnightmagic: "This thing made
a whole bunch of money and then suddenly became completely useless!"
Bowjob: oh well.. decades from now, it will be
a collector's item
mircea_popescu: since now all that is being paid for, people get
a much better idea of their actual costs.
mircea_popescu: the thing is before
a large portion of mining cost was hidden (as "free" expertise)
Bowjob: and avalon users will get credit for
a trade in, yeah?
Bowjob: heck, if this becomes profitable for me I'll rent
a warehouse

a while for
a 60gh asic to cost 1.x k usd in electricity.

a minefild
Bowjob: mhm, i find it good news that the asics that were shipped took
a week only
BitHub: you were going to film
a renactment or osmething
BitHub: where you doing
a commercial for mpex?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't pay 10k for
a computer just because i can make 10k on
a computer in 15 days
mircea_popescu: i would pay 1300 dollars within 60 days for
a delivered and guaranteed asic.
Chaang-Noi: i would odds are pay $10k for
a working alalon that was right here right now.
mircea_popescu: this is
a little more than what asicminer increased. so... he's about in the market atm.
mircea_popescu: Bowjob there were some who did report privately. i knew of
a few.
midnightmagic: And in China,
a few users did in fact receive their units.
Bowjob: the jan 20 was
a "bonus"
mircea_popescu: Ukto batch 1 was like 200 units iirc. that's
a total 12th or thereabouts.
Bowjob: Oh man.. BFL victims caught
a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic it's
a fact that customers had been reporting passwords being broken into which tux/gox blamed on customers, for weeks prior.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: There is no evidence that is the case, nor is there any evidence from our perspective that MtGox themselves did anything less than they could have to prevent the account leaks. From what we know, it was either two hacks, one of them being
a readout from
a financial analyst who had privileged access, and the other being completely unknown, or one hack, being the financial analyst.
mircea_popescu: paying out of pocked for all hacks/malfunctions means they honor every single order at 1 cent
a bitcoin that was ever made.
midnightmagic: I'm failing to see how doing an exchange rollback as
a result of unauthorized account activity is itself unethical.
midnightmagic: present company excepted from such
a comparison of course.
midnightmagic: ngzhang reconnected
a trace that had been destroyed which prevented the chip from identifying itself normally.
