OneMiner: Well, I can tell you that if
a person tries to put me in
a class under them.... their time is limited at that point.
OneMiner: Ether one, I could use
a .22 and get it done as well.
OneMiner: Ha! wouldn't go well for you. You'd be defending and I'm
a good shot. :P
knotwork: Bunch of Americans immigrates and votes in bunch of weirdo gunslinging bible belters I'll be praying yes please King William, call for
a frakkin vote of no confidence pronto please its un-British!!!
knotwork: Not so sure. Consider voters, bread, and circusses. Having someone trained to the task who can call for
a vote of n o confidence seems it could have redeeming virtue
OneMiner: The fact that there's still
a royal family offends me too.
knotwork: maybe actually
a national holiday. not sure. maybe just
a folk holiday
OneMiner: People who choose to solve their problems with explosives are not welcome near me, but I'll take
a look at that anyways. ;)
knotwork: 5th november is almost
a national holiday so as never to forget
knotwork: some big nob was in the houses at the time else maybe it'd've been
a misdeameanor or
a service to the crown
knotwork: OneMiner haha for
a moment I thought you mean Guy Ffawkes got ten months for it :)
mircea_popescu: knotwork wait
a second. are you talking tobacco or pot ?
knotwork: I wasn't even actually proven to sell them, its assumed anyone with two cartons of smokes must be
a dealer, no proof needed
Chaaang-Noi: no one has
a claim vs me... they have claim vs glbse
mircea_popescu: runs
a computer parts shop in california, financed bitpay to some degree, lost
a lot of money in bitcoinica etc
mircea_popescu: OneMiner he's
a bitcoin enthusiast, been doing things like taking outdoor panels to advertise his acceptance of bitcoin
OneMiner: You can only imagine how many were in his apartment. If there was
a fire he'd be lucky to not end up with manslaughter charges at the least.
OneMiner: Who's Mr. Ver? 10 months in prison sounds about right to me. One of the links talks about him storing the explosives in
a residential apartment building and mailing them via US mail. Assuming the products were going all over the country they could have ended up on
a plane. At the very minimum he put hundreds of people in mortal or near mortal danger.
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob in most cases having repaid everyone with
a claim shields you from responsibility
rg: the fact that its from
a retard makes it SO much worse
mircea_popescu: The woman named “Democrat of The Year” this year by the Jefferson County Democratic Party has been convicted of felony theft by
a Jefferson County jury for stealing from
a developmentally disabled 71-year-old woman.
mircea_popescu: girl dug up
a conviction. there will be
a post in
a few.
smickles: oh wow, i'm going to make
a solid rocket booster out of sucrose
smickles: lol, so in the same timeframe it took to develop this (and the rocket that sent it up), elon musk docked
a ship with the ISS
smickles: "As of 26 February 2012, it appears that the satellite has not settled into the orbit properly. Due to
a malfunction to its stabilizing system, it is expected that the satellite will spin uncontrollably and eventually get lost in space. However, the coordinator of the project, Mugurel Bălan has stated that the situation is under control."
smickles: lol, did they throw it by and and lose track of it (now thinking it was
a successful mission)?
smickles: area 5b sounds like
a shitty appartment with only one room
smickles: "Prospero, the only British satellite to date launched on
a British rocket, lifted off from Launch Area 5B..." <<this statement feels so full of lame
smickles: i took 2 or three classes then stopped because it was
a 7am class, and I had an hour bikeride to make it
mircea_popescu: anyway this is all academic, iirc there wasn't much volume anyway, like 1-2 btc
a week or something
bitfoo: that's
a lot of calculations :o
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't
a valid number.
mircea_popescu: it's
a bright glowing orange that makes food look unhealthy and women's complexion totally alien
smickles: is it
a darker sort of orange, or bright glowing orange?
mircea_popescu: alongside
a final dump of everyone's stats, encrupted with their public key
mircea_popescu: but in the extreme case the db needs to be distributed what i envisage is
a text flatfile containing each issuer's holders encrypted with his public key, the whole thing signed and dumped on like, piratebay
BTC-Mining: Just stating it would be possible to make
a database public and official without the need to release
a private key to forge different sets of data.
BTC-Mining: The decrypted data containing
a per issuer data with further encryption with their public key.
BTC-Mining:
A special database, with it's own key pair. You make it available for download, encrypted with the database private key. The public key for it is released after 6 months without resetting the counter on it. Signed with the exchange's key so we know any data decryptable with that public key is from the official source.
smickles: did i kick
a hornet's nest or somehting?
mircea_popescu: it'd have to be released as
a per-issuer section, encrypted with the issuer's public key.
mircea_popescu: still, you know,
a raw db dump isn't the right way to do this.
BTC-Mining: But the idea is to be able to release confidential data. And only if you disappear, an automated process triggers because
a time limit is not reset and it releases the public key for decrypting the database.
BTC-Mining: But what's the issue with encrypting with your private key with
a public key for decrypting the data?
mircea_popescu: idea was guy encrypts
a "would you marry me" with his public key
BTC-Mining: And sign the public key for the database with the exchange's key. That way people know if they decrypt it with that public database key, it was
a statement encrypted with the official backup private key.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the system is pretty well designed for expansion. in the future i might generate
a special key just for db signing, and put it somewhere safe
smickles: what would the use of
a stat be if the exchange were down tho?
mircea_popescu:
a week later there's fifty billion fake stats floating around
smickles: i was trying to think of
a situation where you are inaccessable some how, and you have the exchange key released to the public so that people can get at the data
mircea_popescu: suppose for
a moment there's an uberconspiracy of like, the reptillians
mircea_popescu: it doesn't look like so much but
a lot of work went into this thing actually.
mircea_popescu: smickles and also, seen the mpex db dump ? good insurance for customers, if they put
a big order in also save
a db dump :p
smickles: well, seems like it can be utilized as
a very quick and simple check for differences
BTC-Mining: But if you need to share it and use it all the time,
a cheap one wouldn't be bad.
mircea_popescu: but reasonably if i wanted to do parallel processing i'd still just rent out
a rack of boxes and use that.
mircea_popescu: im sure it's better than
a radeon vidcard in that sense
BTC-Mining: So
a more generic processor would be preferable. Unless you want to do tasks
a GPU is good for.
BTC-Mining: Well it would do
a variety of tasks...
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining i don't imagine parallella chips do so well at parallelizing "
a variety" of tasks anyway
BTC-Mining: Would they be as performant for any task? Doesn't seem so. Aren't dev boards more like generic CPU for performing
a larger variety of tasks?
Diablo-D3: I wrote
a bitcoin miner, after all.
BTC-Mining: But can you really do everything you can do on
a dev board on those?
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 you know these ipos tend to be
a lot of hype.
Diablo-D3: the smallest still in production 5xxx/69xx is
a Cedar, the 7350, 104 gflops, 20 watts
Diablo-D3:
a 7750, the smallest GCN, using the ddr3 model, does 819 gflops and has 55 max watts and costs $109
Diablo-D3: also, parallella sounds like
a food
kakobrekla: i pasted
a link so you can read this shit
BTC-Mining: Once completed, the 64-core version of the Parallella computer would deliver over 90 GFLOPS of performance and would have the the horse power comparable to
a theoretical 45 GHz CPU
Diablo-D3: I dont really see
a point in this though
BTC-Mining: Actually, let me get
a screenshot of my desktop
BTC-Mining: Seriously... what good is an OS where I can't have
a clusterfuck of icons on
a desktop?
BTC-Mining: And even if it's not
a simulation... It's
a universe with particles and
a set of rules how they interact... It's basically the same as
a simulation, but in more complex.
BTC-Mining: That... we basically can't prove if what we see is
a simulation or not while testing and measuring from inside the simulation based on our knowledge of simulations.
BTC-Mining: Worry not, for it make no difference whatsoever because everything is nothing and nothing is everything and nothing. It's all in your head. Be sure to keep it in there! Here, take
a tinfoil hat.
mircea_popescu: actually... it might be time someone makes
a pympex port for the latest python
mircea_popescu: actually there was
a nightmare situation with one customer who somehow changed his default key in between having it registered and sending the first payment
