Bowjob: that hurts like
a bitch
mircea_popescu: Right now, I'm planning on
a week from Friday to be the day
ThickAsThieves: i'm no engineer, but it sounds so ghetto to be wasting 1000 chips to do
a macguyver test
swhitt: has there ever been
a >2 part of the chain orphaned?
Bowjob:
a bunch of ips appeared.. is taht
a good thing orr..
Bowjob: the guy didnt put
a tx. -_- still waiting for it to confirm
jcpham: i think i just mined
a bajillion freicon last week
OneMiner: And it's not
a scalpel, it's
a grenade. You'd block all TXs with SDs fee or lower.
OneMiner: jcpham Then the best you can do is mine in
a pool that blocks those transactions.
iz: but SD is braindead simple to make
a clone of
jcpham: if cgminer had
a "no sd" flag, i'd set it
iz: mircea_popescu: i'm still afraid of the legal implications of running
a gambling business
iz: i'm not telling people how to use it, i just suggested making
a better alternative that people could choose to use
ThickAsThieves: because it doesnt stop someone else from making the same problem in
a new way
iz: jurov: how would my proposal of creating
a better version of SD going to cripple the whole system?
iz: someone just needs to make
a better version of SD that works in harmony with bitcoin
dub: equally you will kill it if nobody can run
a node
OneMiner: jurov With SD
a single person can place many bets with
a small amount of coins. Each bet = two transactions. If it was
a supermarket, they'd have to be making
a seperate transaction for each product, overcharging you by
a little and sending you
a satoshi back. THEN it would be similar.
iz: one item at
a time though?
dub: imagine
a supermarket where you can only pay for one item at
a time
OneMiner: It's how that casino is doing it's business. You don't go up and change money after every bet when you are in
a casino, do you?
dub: its
a LOT more than it costs you
iz: why would
a business pay more for bitcoin processing, when they could just do "expensive" credit card processing that is accepted by way more clients?
dub: typically I would say that
a high end server is more expensive for
a business than
a car
jurov: why wouldn't they pay much less for
a full node that can deal with 1TB/month to enable them access to bitcoin system?
jurov: i'll try again. how many businesses own
a car?
jurov: 99% people will not ever see
a bitcoin in whole life, but they will be able to run full node, that's the ideal
iz: this is
a problem with bitcoin p2p, not really just with bitcoin mining
iz: yeah, everyone is
a node, even if they aren't mining
dub: my 2c.. I could run
a bitcoin node on 1990's hardware before SD
maximian: SD just amplifies that weakness. and if it wasn't SD it'd be someone else. The problem has to be solved, and it can't be solved by banning. It's
a fundamental architectural problem.
iz: just because the problem can be solved by stupidly throwing money at it, doesn't mean it's not
a problem that could have
a more elegant solution
dub: what SD does can be achieved in
a scalable way easily
dub: the reality is SD exploits
a weakness in bitcoin
dub: jurov: how many nodes will be running under
a +1tb/month scenario?
iz: i'm just saying it's not
a non-problem, not that it's an insurmountable one
ThickAsThieves: i mean really, the wait time to let qt sync was too long for the average person
a while ago
iz: transaction fees won't make
a difference until we start hitting the max blocksize
Namworld: Only way to have
a block against SD is if all miners simply exclude those transactions.
pigeons: i dont agree with him, i think fees need to go
a lot higher
jurov: it's 75 of them? not less? but you do have
a point.
Namworld: hmkay... probably not
a lot considering the short timeframe
Namworld: make
a bot which keeps outbidding MPOE bot by 1 satoshi, and undercutting ask by 1 satoshi.
jurov: it may cease being
a passthrough
Namworld: still, MPBOR could be
a big loser on
a very bad month
dub: call me when its
a palladium coin
Namworld: Many large multinationals have
a market cap uner 1 billion... I could buy myself
a thousand multinationals at least
Namworld: Buy myself
a few thousand gold bars and some companies...
Namworld: mircea: it's always been. I'd exchange 0.01 BTC for
a trillion anytime
jurov: or put
a trillion on "lessthan 1"
jurov: ...
a top administration official warned that the nation's borders would be less secure. oh my
jurov: i guess in 4 days
a peculiar platinum coin will be unveiled
Bugpowder_: step 1 ) purchase
a 6 pack of your favorite beer.
SpNg: mircea_popescu: i recently found your exchange and blog. It's been
a good read. Just getting into BTC, but I like this S.DICE investment. I have been wanting to ask you, how does one purchase shares with your exchange?
aethero: We're not an exchange. We are
a direct seller of Bitcoins.
aethero: FastCash4Bitcoins is
a service of Tangible Cryptography LLC. We are not an exchange; we are
a direct buyer of bitcoins. In keeping with the bitcoin philosophy of limited third party trust we don't hold client's balances (bitcoins or dollars), instead we only accept
a sale when we can promptly pay it
dub: or it cold calls you in the middle fo teh night/shows up at your door with
a vacume cleaner
dub: im in
a webex with someone that should be the official worst presenter ever, flat monotone irish accent reading from
a script too quietly, doesnt know how to drive powerpoint (clicking through preview slides)
Namworld: dub is our official angry asshole. He looked
a bit depressed
a few days ago but now he's back in business.
sgornick: Why would I receive
a fraction of purchase price without owning part of the company?
sgornick: Namworld: I see. That isn't clear from the profile.
A rational person might think otherwise from viewing the site.
sgornick: BitPride isn't even an LLC or whatever, I have no idea what I'ld own if I held
a share.
sgornick: There is
a ZigGap LLC, on their site but the Asset listing doesn't use that,so not sure what I'ld own.
sgornick: That's two IPOs in two days where in the U.S., crowdfunding equity was raised from the public. The SEC still hasn't published its rules or this would be more common. (Still wouldn't be done the same way from them, ..., i.e., couldn't buy shares anonymously but there would be
a path for an entrepreneur to put
a company out there.)
aethero: jcpham Got
a dryer to sell? lol
aethero: Its me, the lady-chef,
a developer, and more
jcpham: i didn't realize there was
a team
jcpham: i read
a press release and saw the florida address
dub: I've got
a buddy with like two of every console ever made
Azelphur: I'm more of
a PC gamer myself, but it was still very fun
Azelphur: got to play on an OUYA and meet with
a dev, too
Azelphur: dub: it's
a retro gaming event, so they have lots of old stuff, no LAN but plenty of multiplayer going on
dub: its
a LAN for console gamers?
Azelphur: my life over the weekend has basically been wake up, go to geek 2013 at 10am, leave at 5pm while they switch into over 18s mode and get
a takeout, back in at 6pm, out at 11pm, sleep, repeat
topace: mircea_popescu: waiting for
a deposit to be credited... 40 confirmations now.. can you click your magic button please?
dub:
a YTMND interface would be better
jborkl: The MKOPT command does not state price as
a option
jborkl: Mp, I want to sell covered calls- at $31 strike and
a ceratin price- can you tell me properly format. Thank you
mircea_popescu: srsly.
a pride of lions consists of
a lion and his owned females + offspring.
mircea_popescu: "
A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and
a small number of adult males."
dub: maybe in Romanistani BDSM vernacular, elsewhere its
a bunch of homo cats
mircea_popescu: dub they wish.
a lion's pride is still
a buncha slave chicks
Bugpowder: i KNEW loading up at .00062 was
a good idea...
